Rose🌷

I woke up with a massive headache. I felt like it was gonna explode. I looked down and saw myself on a bed in a completely different outfit.

"What the hell." I mumbled. "Sorry about that." I jumped up and saw the same lady I saw last night. She stood there with her arms around her chest. "Did you-"

"Yes, and breakfast is downstairs." She told me. I sighed and got out of bed pulling the T-shirt down trying to cover my butt. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to see dude at the island drinking some coffee acting like everything is normal.

"Morning." He said. I rolled my eyes and started making my plate. I felt his eyes roaming my body making me feel uncomfortable. "So when are you planning on letting me go?" I asked sitting infront of him.

"When I feel like you learned your lesson." He said. I smacked my lips. "Who are you my father? Are you serious?" "As a heart attack." He said. I rolled my eyes and cut into my pancakes. "And if I try to leave?" I asked. "I call the police."

He simply said looking up at me. I huffed. "Bull." He smirked. "I'll take it this wasn't your first house you broke into." He said. I sighed. "Nope and it won't be my last." I said. "Why do it?" He asked.

I raised a brow. "Why do you care?" "Damn I can't make conversation?" He Asked. "No." I said. He chuckled. "Right." I rolled my eyes and finished my food. "I'm going back to my prison cell now." I said.

He laughed. "Rose wait." I frowned and turnt around. "How you know my name?" I asked. "Your friend said it last night." He said. I rolled my eyes again. "Ughh let me go!" I yelled. I heard him laugh making my blood boil.

I hate him. I hate him so much.

That night I quickly made my way down the stairs looking everywhere before walking past the last step. I made my way out the back door and made a run for it. I hopped over the gate and grunted hitting the ground.

I took a deep breath standing up when I heard growling. I slowly looked up and saw four dogs looking dead at me. I stood up and held my hands out. "Good boys." I said. One of them barked stepping up ahead of them all.

I backed away and started running. I looked back and saw them all chasing after me.

I picked up a brick and threw it at one of them knocking him out when it wasn't anywhere else to go I held my hand up preparing myself for the worse when I heard gunshots.

I opened my eyes and saw that guy holding his gun up. The three dogs started attacking him, he shot one and the rest came after him..jumping all over him.

He hit the last one with his gun and it ran away. He sighed and laid on the ground holding his arm. I sighed and was about to walk away when I hesitated. He did save me, even when he didn't have to.

I slowly walked over to him bending down. "Let's go."

💎

"Ouch!" He yelled. I sighed and touched his wound again. "Ouch!" He yelled again. I sighed. "If you wont stop crying like a damn baby!" I yelled. "This wouldn't have happened if you never snuck out."

He spat. "Well shit, if you would've let me go-" "Oh don't start that shit. You never should've broke into my house."

"Oh here we go, stop it." I said. He sucked his teeth. I fixed his arm up and slapped it making him hiss. "There you go." I laughed. He rolled his eyes. "You know.. I never got your name." I said.

"Cause I never told you." He said looking down at his patched arm. I smacked my lips. "Damn thats low." I said. He sighed. "Its Jay." I nodded. "Like Jaylen..Or Jayceon." I asked.

"Nah just Jay." He said. I nodded slowly. "Oh." I said. "Yea..Its getting late we should go to bed." He said. I nodded my head. "Yea." He slowly stood up and made his way to the stairs. "Thank you."

I said. He turnt around and raised a brow. "Was that an apology?" He asked. I smiled. "Dont get used to it." I said. He smiled. "Good night Rose." He said. "Night Jay." He turnt around and walked up the stairs.
