The Dark Side

Chapter 6

I was really confused, it looked like it was about to rain.

''What are you doing here?'' I said a little louder so he would hear me.

''Hay!'' He smiled waving his arm.

''I just wanted to take you out for breakfast!'' He said looking at his car.

''Oh, well, uhm..'' I didn't know what to say.

I thought it all was happening too fast. I met him only a couple of days ago. He could be using me, like he could not take me for breakfast, but to kill me or use me as a prostitute, or even kill me. I needed to get to know him better. 

The morning was pretty cold, actually, so I thought I could use a jacket. I said that I was about to go over to his house and give him the board back. 

''No, like I said it's a gift from me, then it's a gift from me.'' He was stubborn.

''I can't just take it...'' I said.

He came up to me took the board, placed it in his backseat and drove away.

Rude.

Well, there goes my ride...

I went back inside and made myself some sandwiches. I placed them on a plate and went to the living room, I turned on TV and it was some kind of movie on it. I started to eat one of my sandwiches half. I thought about Harry, like why was he so rude? I guess I annoyed him with the I can't just take it! stuff...

I felt wind on my back, that means my dad is awake. He always opens the window in my room when he wakes up. I placed the plate on the table and closed the window in the living room, so I wouldn't get a cold. I went upstairs to see if my dad's really awake. I went in my mum's and dad's bedroom, but they both were sleeping. That's strange...

I went in my room and saw that the window was open, completely. I took my baseball bat, that has been in my room since I was eight. I used to love baseball, but then I got bored. I needed to keep myself in shape, so I have a little workout and I play basketball twice a week with a couple of guys. I didn't really know that much about any of them, but it didn't really matter. All what mattered was the game. The guys were fun to hang out with too, but I only met them at the basketball games, maybe sometimes on the streets.

I heard someone coming to my room. I hid behind the door ready to hit. Then I saw it was my dad.

''Laura?'' He said looking around.

''Yeah?'' I stood up from the corner of the door.

''Did you open the window, already?'' He asked while closing it.

''N-yes.'' I didn't want him to get worried.

''Okay, I'll go back to bed, I just wanted to check on you'' He said while slowly going out.

''Well, I'm fine'' I said and hid the bat behind my back.

My dad left. I checked my closet and other places where an intruder could hide. I didn't see anyone. I looked through the window and saw Siva. I quickly closed the curtains.

I made a little gap and looked what Siva was doing he was looking in Alana's house direction. Then he ran across the street and I lost him. I started looking around my room, to see if something's missing. To me, everything was in it's place. I went back downstairs to finish my sandwich, I took my laptop with me, downstairs. The sandwich I made was good, but not as good as the ones my mum makes. She made some really tasty sandwiches, I didn't know the recipe, but I made something alike. After I ate my sandwich I turned thge TV down a little bit and went on my laptop. I checked my social life and stuff like that, after I went to watch some videos on YouTube.

After an hour I got bored and went upstairs to get a jacket and a cap. Then I heard a knock at the door. I took my jacket, my cap and went downstairs. No one was there. When I was about close it I saw a box on the ground, at my door. It was a pretty large box. There was a note on it.

Sorry. I know it was rude how I took the board and just went away, but here's a little gift from me compensate it. -Harry Styles

I took it to the living room to open it. I opened the box, which was in a white colour with a red bow on it. It was a skateboard. His skateboard. I took  the skateboard out and placed it next to me on the couch. There was another note.

This is a gift from me, so it's ok, if you keep it. ;) -Harry Styles

I took the skateboard to check is everything okay. There were new wheels and new screws. That was really nice. I took the skateboard, went to the kitchen and left a note for my parents. I finally could go out for a ride. I locked the door and put one foot on the board pushing with the other one.

I pushed twice and went to the centre. I had that good feeling again. I drove through the centre, then headed back home. While on my way home I stopped at Harry's house and took a sharper rock and wrote Thank you ;) on the ground, in front of the house. I started my way home and after a couple of seconds I heard someone scream No problem! 

I smiled. When I was around him I always felt good.

On the way home I just enjoyed the ride, the wind through my hair, the nice feeling. Then I heard someone running. I slowly stopped and looked back. There was no one. I swear I heard footsteps. Maybe I'm imagining things. Yes, probably. It was just my imagination. So I started rolling on my skateboard again. After a few seconds I heard someone running behind me.

I stopped and looked. The streets were empty. No one was around. weird...

I started riding again and when I was almost over at my house I heard footsteps,again,I didn't stop. I started riding faster. I kinda got scared. My house was just around the corner. I started riding as fast as I can. Once I got to my house I ran inside and shut the door behind me. I locked it. I ran to the backyard door. It was already locked. I ran into the living room. I saw my parents were sleeping at the TV. They probably fell asleep while watching TV. I went upstairs to my room. 

There was a note on my bed. I opened it up. 

We're going to LA on Monday, next week. Start packing! -Mom

Why did she leave a noteon my bed, when she could've just said that to me. I opened up my suitcase, that was laying on the bottom of my closet.

''What to pack?'' I asked myself.

I took some jeans and shorts. I took some T-shirts and tank tops. I took two hoodies, in case it's not that warm. I took some socks and underwear. I took some sandals and sneakers I had next to my door.

When we go to LA we're always there for 3 or 4 days. I need to tell this to Alana. I took my phone and left the suitcase open. I found Alana on my contacts and called her. She picked up.

''Hel-'' She couldn't finish.

''Hey, Alana? I'm going t-'' I got interrupted by her.

''I can't answer the phone right now, but leave me a message after th-'' I hung up.

''Ugh.'' Iied down in my bed. 

I went downstairs to get a glass of water. I checked on my parents, too. They were still sleeping. I went to the kitchen. I took a bottle of water from the fridge. I opened it and drank a little bit of water. It was cold and refreshing. Just what I wanted. Then I heard a doorbell at the door. I went to the door and looked through a little window, which was on one of the side of the door. It was Harry, he looked pretty worried.
