Okaii, I've just recently read a part of Hush Hush that made my hair stand on end. Patch and Nora...broke up. If you may put it that way. But the thing is, Patch is Nora's guardian angel *literally* so he has to stay around her. And sorry for my ranting but I find that sad :(

*Sam's P.O.V*
I stepped back from the sink and then glanced back at the water. The face in the water had now changed, to Drew's face. He wasn't smiling. Come to think of it,, none of them were. I blinked rapidly a few times and the images disappeared. What the helll? I thought as I ran back into the living room. I placed my hand on my heart. I expected it to be beating rapidly but to my utter shock it was beating, if possible, even slower than normal.
I took a few deep breaths and calmed myself. There was no reason to be afraid. No reason to panic. It was just my imagination running wild. Yeah, that's it. My imagination. I turned off the TV and grabbed my blanket. Making sure all windows and doors were locked, I made my way up to my room. It was around 12pm already. The sun was at it's mid point in the sky, casting long shadows across the shingled roofs of our neighbours and across my front lawn.
I sighed and turned on some music. As Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber started playing and I sang along, although with my sore throat, I sounded like a croaking frog. The song ended and So Listen by Cody Simpson started playing. I curled up in a ball by the window. My head slouched against the glass and Cody Simpson's voice filled my ears, making me feel at ease.

Something hard hit me on my head startling me awake. My eyes snapped open and I sat up. I was now on the floor. I spun around and hit my head on the iron bar that slid across my nightstand, holding it open. Ouch. So that's what woke me up. But how the duck did the drawer open by itself? The music was now off and everything was eerily silent.
After making sure my head was okay, I looked out the window. It was pitch black. Not a star to be found.There was a blue tint too the atmosphere. It meant that a storm was blowing in. I leaned out the window a bit.The air was humid. Fog stuck to me like a second skin. An icy breeze bllew past my face making me shiver. But in a way that made me excited. My insides started churning and a rush of adrenaline shot through me.
I gasped and shut the window. What just happened? My pulse was beating erraticaly and my breathing was ragged. I heard something slamming downstairs. It was coming from the main hallway. I grabbed the baseball bat I kept behind my bed and tip toed down the stairs. The sound was closer now and I think my heart was stuck in my throat.
When I stepped into the foyer, I realized it was the window making the noises. It was open and the breeze was banging it into the side of the house. I reached outside to pull it in but before I closed it, I noticed someone standing at the edge of my driveway. I couldn't see the person clearly but I could tell it was boy. He was wearing all black and his hands were in his pocket. The light from the street post spilled over him making him appear to glow.
I realized I was staring at him with my mouth open. I snapped it shut. Should I call out to him? What if he's a killer? Oh what the hell. If I die at least no one I love will be around to see it. "Hello?" I called through the open window. The person didn't budge. I tried again. "Hello? Are you okay?" I called. No answer. Just as I was about to go outside, the person turned and walked away. I stared after him but he just blended into the night.
I sucked in a shaky breath and slid to the floor. I hugged my knees and thought about the mysterious things that happened today. The faces in the sink, the sudden fever, the sudden storm, the adrenaline rush and now a mysterious guy standing outside my house.
It didn't make any sense at all. It couldn't be real could it? THen another thought struck me. Is this the reason I was so jumpy? Was this the outcome of my anxiety? No. It was all my imagination. Nothing was real. Nobody was standing outside my house. The faces were just my mind playing tricks on me. Yes. That's it. It was my fever's fault. Making me delirious.
I let out the breath I had been holding and stood up, feeling better that I had reached my conclusion. I took a quick shower and went to take a nap. I drifted off to sleep with images of the boy in my driveway.
