Saint ✦ Grayson Dolan

IV||Numb

I debated on opening my eyes or not I knew he was awake getting ready for work. I could bring myself to talk to him. He obviously didn't have an attachment to me.

Me on the other hand I was head over heels but still hung up on life.

The bathroom door opens making me sort of flinch. I didn't know if he knew I'm awake.

"I'm not stupid Jersey." He says walking out of the room as I open my chocolate eyes.

I guess it was time for work.

I groan and it is only my second day.

I got out of the soft bed and placing my feet on the cold wooden floor. I run to the bathroom quickly turning the nob of the shower hot water comes out of the navel.

I rid my clothes and step into the hot spring.

My hands massage my shoulders then continue cleaning my body and hair.

I get out of the shower stepping onto this soft fluffy rug and picking up a towel.

The cold air of New Jersey rapped around me giving me goosebumps.

I shiver walking to the closet.

I pick out appropriate clothes for the weather and blow dry my wavy hair.

The alarm on my phone goes off telling me it's time to go.

I roll my eyes my mind immediately is annoyed by the sound I turn it off.

Getting up I walk downstairs having the map of the house now in my mind.

A man dress in black with glasses on stood at the door way.

"Miss Píaz I'm here to take you too work." The stranger says opening the door.

My heart sinking a little. Did he not want to be near me? Well my stupid self did pretend to be asleep.

"Thank you I'll be right out I have to grab my bag." I lie to him. He nods his head stepping out of the house.

I walk upstairs into my room going to the mirror and making sure it didn't look like I was crying.

I always fall for people faster then I can get over them.

Checking the clock my eyes widen and I run out of the bathroom them slipping on the rug in my bedroom.

Then sprinting down the stairs I make it to the living room and I straighten myself out.

Before I could think or even concept what was going on the glass of the big window in the living room shatters. Loud noises surrounded the building. I feel to the floor crawling to the stairs.

The door breaks open and I crawl even faster. I look back to see the driver dead on the cement and a man in a suit with a shot gun in his hand. My heart races and I crawl faster.

He continued I walk at a normal paste behind me taunting me.

I could only really hear my heavy breathing. I make it to the top of the stair grabbing onto the railing and running after I get my balance back.

I open the door to my bedroom locking it behind me. I fall again on the rug then crawl to the curtains. Everybody hides in the closets it's the most obvious thing. Have people that's are being attacked never played hide n seek.

Whistle fill the second floor. I could hear my heart thumping.

Then a loud gun shot goes off as my bedroom door flies open.

I cover my mouth so he can't hear my breathing.

My plan didn't work as well as I though feeling the curtain ripped from my hands.

I close my eyes just wanting my death to be over with.

I hear a loud shot go off.

Wait that was it?

I didn't feel anything.

I open one eye and see the now dead intruder on the floor.

I full open my eyes looking up at my savior.

"I thought you were at work." I gulp.

"You forgot your gun." He says throwing the golden metal at me. My heart leaped out of my chest as I caught it.

This is man insane he just throws a firearm without a care in the world.

Who am I kidding? He just killed a man and not a ounce of guilt showed in his hazel eyes.

I look to see if the safety was on. It was not!

He could have killed me after saving me!

"What is wrong with you?" I ask in shock.

"Everything baby." He says walking out of the room.

"If you're gonna keep your job you gonna have to follow me since your ride is now dead." He says in the hall.

I hop to my feet taking after the psychopath.

I trail on his side like a lost puppy.

Walking out to the front of the house I see a limo with a man holding the door open. He was intimidating.

Not as intimidating as my boss.

"Call security I need these bodies disposed and new men on deck and stronger ones at that." He says to the man holding the door.

"Bring me the men who let this happen." He also spits before sliding into the back seat.

I give the man a smile and join Grayson.

As the car ride started so did he.

"You've got to be kidding me Jersey! You could have died and you didn't even try to stop the man who craves your blood."he yells to me as I squint my eyes.

"Craved." I correct him.

"Don't you ever correct me." He said picking up my chin to look at him.

"Got it." He said but surprisingly didn't spit.

"Yes sir." I said seeing his dominate side.

"Obviously you aren't as ready as I hoped your gonna need some work. Specially connecting to your anger." He says rolling his eyes and sitting back.

"What do you mean?"

"You need to be in contact at the right time with the side that craves death and danger" He says as we stop at the building calmly getting out of the car.

What did I get myself into.
