Hush

4: It Was Him

What just happened? Who was that, that couldn't have been real. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a notification pop up on my computer. Still in shock, I shakily make my way to the computer. The cool air brushes past my warm, adrenaline-filled body. Every step I make adds more fear to my body. I'm anxious to see who sent a message. Was it Zack? Something about that fact that it could be Zack sends a shiver down my spine.

I sit down into my comfy chair, and click the notification. My heart drops and my stomach churns. It was Zack.

"Hey, we should hang out. Like right now, be with me. I want you." He said.

Where have I heard that before? "I guess so, where are you?" I ask.

"Just look outside ;)" He says.

My heart races, as I hesitate to get out of my chair. No, he can't be there. No way. How did he get my address? I shuffle to the window, and sure enough there is a tall man standing in the front yard. Is that Zack? He spots me and waves for me to come out. I guess it is. I hold up a finger to say "hold on", and he nods in reply.

I grab my backpack and put some stuff that I may need. A water bottle, my phone, my wallet, a spare jacket, and my glasses. I realize that I don't know where we are going. I'll just ask him when I get out there. Quickly, I get back to the window and open it. I try to get out of the window while making as little sound as I can, but I have no clue if I am. Since, you know, I'm deaf.

When I slip outside, and close the window. Zack greets me with a smile. When I look up at him, I take notice of something. My eyes widen and I feel my knees go weak. He has the eyes. The same green eyes as that thing did. Oh god, it was him. He was the one who was in my room. But how? How did he do that? What the hell is he?
