I twist,and turn on my bed unable to go to sleep. I finally give up,and get up. I quietly walk out the room,and shut the door slowly and tip toe my way down the stairs. Every noise I make making me freeze before I continue to walk.I enter the kitchen,and get a glass of water.I then begin to walk around the house a part of me just wanting to make sure all the windows are locked i wish this place had an alarm system but its not like that would even help me deep down.I still don't feel safe.Looking out the window I see Luke at the porch fiddling with his guitar.I open the door,and step out the nice cold breeze hitting my body.
"Hey there" he says with a smile.I sit down in front of him.
"Hey... whatcha doing here?"I ask staring at the now dark night sky the stars shining brighter than ive ever seen.
"Couldn't sleep, and you?" he ask fiddling with the strings
I stare at him realizing he's very handsome his messy hair fitting him perfectly his jaw line looking sharp in every direction he looks the little small freckles he has which i noticed earlier through out the day and his hazel eyes that look brown at times as well i wonder how can such a good looking guy be here "me too, so I can relate" silence takes over,and Luke keeps playing around with his guitar.
"You play?"he asks breaking the silence.
"Oh no.The only thing I know how to play is volleyball"
"Oh that's cool.I like volleyball it's fun" he casually states
"Maybe we can play tomorrow?"I randomly ask surprised at myself.
"Maybe" he responds making me frown inside because that's not the answer I was expecting.
"Where are you going?" I ask once he gets up.
"For a stroll at the beach"
"At this time?..it's dark" i cant help but ask feeling worried
"So? this time is perfect. you get to be alone and clear your head.Do you wanna come?" he ask looking down at me the porch light hitting his face as i stare into his brown looking hazel eyes and its as if i cant possibly say no its as if his do you wanna come wasnt a question it was more of a you have to come
"Yeah"I quickly say without control getting up.There is something about him that intrigues me. He smiles,and I follow him to the back of the house. He pulls out a flashlight getting me a bit confused as to how he had a flashlight on him already.
"So does you're dad play the guitar?"I ask wanting to start a conversation but mostly wanting to learn more about him. we slowly begin to approach the beach with every step the sound of the waves crashing together sending a colder breeze.
"Yeah he does till this day he's still teaching me which shows its not easy playing it" he chuckles to himself
"that's cute" i comment finnaly arriving at the beach the waves crashing sounds even louder whne your next to them.we begin to walk down the beach in silence luke looking in peace while im unease i keep looking everywhere flinching at any unusual sound.this was a bad idea. "so where are you from?"I ask in hopes talking to him will make me not think so much.
"From Bethlehem"
"Oh that is far- well far from Florida."I tell him hoping hes enjoying my company because i feel like he just wants to enjoy the silence but silence is the least thing i want right now silence makes me think too much and thinking too much makes me worry
"Lucky you. I hate winter" he says and begins too talk but i dont hear him anymore i'm too distracted by a figure.I stop in my tracks causing Luke to stop,and look at me confused "what's up?"
"You-you uh didn't see that?"my voice cracks as my throat gets dry. feeling a panic attack coming.I start hyperventilating my body shaking while i try to control it luke cant see this side of me no one can because questions will arise questons i cant answer.
"Saw what?" Luke asks confused looking around. I manage to point where I saw the black shadow of figure which is now gone. He aims the flash light it's way "I don't see anything are you okay?" he asks concerned.
"Breathe in breathe out" I tell myself doing so because I know it was the person who killed my sister who else could it be? I begin to think the worse making my panic attack even worse.
"emma?" his voice interupts my thoughts.
"I'm- i'm I have to" I can't even talk right i feel like my oxygen is slowly runnin low.My heart beating super fast I go with my instinct, and begin to run as fast as I can, as fast as my legs will carry me,and in seconds I reach the house and quickly run inside.I place my hand against my thighs bending down a bit,and try controlling my breath but I cant I begin to cry because my mom would always know what to do but she's not here,I am surrounded by strangers.I clench my chest because it hurts.I then startled,jump when Luke rushes in.
"It's me.tell me what happened... uhm " he stops talking and i hear him run up the stairs,and a few seconds later Lucy,and Barbara are running down the steps and Lucy pulls me in for hug.i close my eyes shut counting from 10 to 1 in a whispering voice
"You're safe" she whispers in my ear as she strokes my hair.
"What happened?"I hear Chloes voice,and I know everyone woke up.I bury my face embarrassed against Lucy's neck,and try controlling everything but I can't.
"Here"I hear barbara say.I part from Lucy to see Barbara with a glass of water,and my pills. I chug them down,and my eyes land on everyone who's staring at me like a mad woman so I run past them,and into my room, and lock it.I sit on the bed,and cry cradling myself because I feel so alone,and scared.I know the person is here,and its gonna come after me.
