Built On Love

Chapter 4

        I had been walking for hours and I was ready to fall asleep. I was so tired and lonely. I wanted to hear the sound of my family. I missed Ty, Gabe, Brooke, my mom, and my dad. I came to a big house with a gate surrounding it. The gates all of a sudden opened and I went inside.
      There was a man standing on the front porch. So  decide to ask him for help.
        "Hi my name is Lexi and I was wondering if you could give me a place to sleep."
        "Hello Lexi my name is Dawson and sure come on in."
        "Thank you so very much Dawson."
         "You're welcome Lexi."
      He was a fine young man. He had on a pair of shorts and no shirt. He looked all sweaty and I thought he had just got home from a run or working out. I thought he looked very strong.
      It must have been a long time in silence because he was half asleep.
         "Hey Dawson can you show me to my room or somewhere to sleep."
          "Oh well I was going to let you sleep in my room."
          "Well where are you sleeping?"
          "In my room, hahaha, nah I'll sleep on the couch unless you want me to sleep with you."
           "It's up to you I can't say where you can sleep."
            "Do you trust me?" He started inching closer to me.
            "Yes.........."
             "I'm joking I don't sleep with girls I just meet I sleep with them after the first date."
         All of a sudden gunshots went off. It scared the shot out of me. There was a lot more and each one was getting closer. So close that the shots sounded like they were in the house. He grabbed my arm and dragged me to the basement. When we got down there I got a cold chill.
          His basement was so cold. He walked over to the lights and turned them on. It started getting warm and I realized I was standing on a vent. I moved and he startedlaughing at me.
           "What are you laughing at?"
             "You because you think you have to move when you really don't."
            "Well I'm sorry I thought that."
            There was a couch, bar, pool tables, a pool, a hot tub, and a bed. I was looking around while he was at the bar. I sat on the couch and started dozing off until I heard my phone ring. It was Kirsten and I was wondering why she was calling me.
              "Hello."
             "Lexi something bad has happened and I need you to get to the hospital as fast as you can."
              "Why."
              "Because Jamie is dying."
               "Really?"
                "Yes."
              "I'm coming."
          I hung up and got up off the couch. I started walking to the basement door. Dawson leapt up and stood in my way.
             "Where do you think you're going?"
              "I'm going to the hospital."
              "No you're not."
              "You can't stop me."
               "Yeah I can."
               "How?"
               "Hear those noises?" All of a sudden ther was a loud crash at the door. "That's what's stopping you."
              "What was that?"
              "Does it look like I know?"
               "No."
               "Excatly."
             I walked over to the bed and laid down. I was so tired and pissed that I couldn't takeit anymore. He came over there and laid down beside me.
                "I'm sorry."
                 "It doesn't matter."
                 "Yes it does."
                 "Whatever I'm goingto sleep."
                 "Okay."
