Paranoia

Picture above shows Star's vision

Marco's POV

I woke up still in a shaken state from what had happened last night and until now I still didn't understand as to why Jackie killed Star in my dreams. For god's sake Star just moved in here yesterday! She's too young to have her life ended like that. Should I be apologizing to her? She probably doesn't understand why I would be apologizing anyway. I mean it was just a personal dream where no one else could enter and see what was happening but I'm scared that it might happen in real life but i'll try not to think too much of it. I mean, it's just a dream.

I sat on the edge of my bed and looked around my room trying to process stuff until I felt a drop of liquid fall from my forehead to my hands, I stood up and noticed that I was shirtless. Sweaty and shirtless. But I really have nothing to be ashamed of, I take karate classes and we tend to exercise before we do our actual moves so to answer your question, yes I have abs. I took a towel I had nearby me and wiped myself ridding all of the sweat. I sigh and throw the towel at the side of the room, now back to Star, I think I should be protecting her but not that protective to make her think I'm a desperate guy. I have a girlfriend!

I shook that thought off my head and put my grey shirt on then went out my door to the kitchen. As I passed down the hallway I saw that Star's door was open so I assumed she went downstairs but it wouldn't hurt to peek right? I slowly peered inside expecting to see an empty room but instead seeing Star sat down on her bed while brushing her hair with her eyes closed and a small smile on her lips, I blushed and knocked on the open door "Hello? Is anyone there?" She put down her brush and just sat there with a questioning look.

"Hey Star, it's Marco" I scratched the back of my neck "Oh, hey Marco. Goodmorning" "Goodmorning. Are you okay? How was your sleep?" She giggled as she reached for her walking stick "Are you okay Marco? I just moved in here yesterday. Why so many questions?" "Oh uh.." I laughed nervously "I'm just messing with you. I slept fine thank you" I sighed in relief "Is breakfast ready?" I nodded until I remembered she can't see me. I mentally slapped myself "Yeah I think it is" She nodded as she stood up "Do you need help?" "Marco I've been blind my whole life. I can handle it" I blushed "Yeah. Sorry"

I let her walk out first as I followed behind her "There's railing on the stairs where you can hold to" she turned to face me "I don't know where you are but I hope I'm facing you. Thanks" She laughed as she grabbed the railing carefully and took each step gently. Once we arrived at the bottom which took quite awhile didn't bother me, I assisted Star to the table and sat her down as I took my own seat. "Good morning you two. How'd you sleep?" My mom said as she placed breakfast infront of us "I slept like a baby last night Mrs. Diaz" "I guess. Mine was- ok."

I picked up my utensils as I started to chow down on my food. I looked over at her seeing her eat peacefully, she does struggle once in a while but other than that she's doing fine. As long as I don't see any ropes or stab wounds around her I'll be fine. I hear a crash come from Star's direction, I bolted my eyes towards her and saw soup all over her face and neck, I blushed as I stood up and grabbed a napkin without hesitation. "Marco, please, there's no need for this I can do it by my-" "No, Star, please. Just let me help you" She sighed then nodded as I dabbed the napkin carefully on the places where she had spilled her soup on, finishing shortly after.

I cupped her cheek and ran my thumb across gently to check if I had missed a spot, especially on her neck aswell. Luckily I had gotten all the spots. I took a good look on her face. Her whitish-blue eyes, her pale but fragile complection, those heart shaped birthmarks on both sides of her cheeks, and most of all her lips. It looks soft, kissable and has a very light pink tint to it. A light blush crept up on her cheeks and so did mine, I shook my head as I placed the napkin down and continued to eat. "Thank you.. Marco" I smiled without bearing my teeth "No problem" I said with a mouth full.

"Marco! Your phone is ringing and it's from Jackie!" I hadn't realized that mom went upstairs because I was really caught up in that moment "Sure mom, just give it t'me!" I heard footsteps coming down the stairs "I see your girlfriend's calling" Star said as she gave me a weak smile while I took the phone from my moms hands and saying thank you.

''Hello? Jackie?''

''Hey Marco!''

''Haha. Hi Jackie, It's been awhile''

''Yeah it has actually. So how's uh- that- girl?'' She sounded diguisted from the tone of her voice. This is so unlike her but I shook the thought off.

''Star? Yeah, she's been doing great. I've been helping her''

''Oh okay then. That's good babe''

''So um.. How's Paris?''

''It's fine. I've been taking classes where we learn to defend ourselves with knives'' She giggled

''Oh! Well be careful, wouldn't want my girlfriend getting hurt'' I laughed. My mind hurt, my dream resurfacing when she said the word 'knives'

"Oh and Marco-" She got cut off by a male voice speaking in the backround. I scrunched my eyebrows in curiousity and confusion.

"Jackie who was that?"

"Uhm- s-sorry Marco, I gotta go! Call you later, love you!" Beep beep beep

I slowly lowered the phone from my ear and placed it on the table then looked at Star to see a worried expression on her face. "You know Marco, even if I can't see you, I could still hear what you're talking about. Are you okay?" My throat was dry, my heart was pounding and felt almost sad. I was overwhelmed with different emotions.

Fear

Curiousity

Confusion

Sadness

Anxious

Jackie in a class that includes knives, A random guy that was with her inside her college dorm, I apparently start to blush randomly when I'm near Star or at least touching her. I have a girlfriend for god's sake! I'm not the type of guy that breaks hearts, and the dream. It's as if all the things that are happening now is leading to what's gonna happen in the dream I had. I looked to Star with my jaw clenched "I don't know"
