Jake's POV

"You're late." I said as Steve came,

"Sorry, I really tried waking up early, I really can't." Steve said,

"Come on, let's fix the car."

We started to pick up tools and fixed the car, then Mark came out of his room.

"Hey Mark." Steve said,

"Hey Steve." Mark said,

"Where are you going?" I asked,

"I'm just going to the Market."

Mark left and we continued fixing the car.

Jane's POV

I didn't care about the text, I carried on with the movie, I was laughing until nature's calling, I went to the bathroom, I got out of the bathroom and went to the living room, I sat in the couch to feel something in it, I kept jumping slightly to confirm that there was something in the couch, I reached my hand in the couch and I felt an object, I took it and saw it was a phone, I opened it and realized it was Jake's.

"Hey, Jake's phone is here." I said,

"Let's give it back." Claire said,

We both stood and left the house, we walked to Mark's house, we knocked infront of the house and a strange man answered it.

"May I help you?" He asked,

"Who are you?" I asked,

"I'm the friend of the owner here."

"Oh, can you just give this phone to Jake?"

"Of course."

Me and Claire left after he closed the door, we walked to our house until we bumped to Mark.

"Hey, Mark." I said,

"Hey, what up?" Mark asked,

"We're fine, we gotta go now, bye."

Then I suddenly stopped walking.

"Mark." I said,

Mark turned around.

"Yes?" He asked,

"Is Jake with someone at your house?" I asked,

"Oh yeah, he's with his friend."

I nodded and continued walking, we went home silently, Claire started to feel sleepy so she went upstairs, I felt sleepy also so I locked all the door and windows and slept in our bedroom.

03:20PM

I was awoken by my alarm clock, I was confused why my alarm went off, I never set any alarm, then I heard a door opening at the Living Room, I thought that it was Claire closing the door, until I saw a paper next to the alarm clock, I unfolded it and read it.

"Hey Jane! Sorry to wake you up by your alarm clock, I went to the Market to buy Chicken, I'm gonna cook tonight because my mom told me that they'll be home at midnight, so if I don't come back until five o'clock, please look for me. Thank you Jane."

I was shocked when I read it, who could be in the house, I prepared myself as I went downstairs, I kept looking behind me, I went to the Living Room to find the door ajar, I reached for the door until someone touched my shoulder, I looked around to find a woman who horrified me.

"Amelia?"
