Seven

Chapter 5

At this point I'm looking in the direction of the front door where the voice was. I turn back and that thing is gone. All I can think is, what the hell is that, and where did it come from. I need to answer the door but I can't move. This wasn't a dream. I am awake. I went to work. What was it..

"Gemma?" The voice yells out. "Here! I'm upstairs. Help!" I can hear them running. They get to the top and look left then right. They see me. I see them. I can't believe who it is. It's James.

"Oh thank god you're here!" I say. "What happened?! Are you alright?!" "Um, I think so" he's helping me up. I don't know if I should tell him what happened or not. He might not believe me. That or he'll think I'm completely looney and won't speak to me again. "How'd you end up on the floor silly?" He stands me up. Crap. Um, um.... "I fell." "You fell?" "Alright, there was a spider on a web coming down from the ceiling." He laughs. "Well I just came because, you left your phone." He holds up my phone. "Oh my phone! I was looking for it in my bag and it wasn't there, thank you!" "Not a problem" he starts to look around. "Do you want a tour?" I ask. "Alright" he smiles.

"And..... This is my bedroom." "You have a really nice house." "Thank you" I smile. "Where bouts do you live?" "Oh I live near you. It's about a 15 minute walk from there to here." "Oh cool!" I'm actually quite happy. "Yeah, I'm the big house with the gargoyles and pine trees everywhere. Big space. Big house, old house," "I haven't seen it yet, me being new and all." He smiles. "Is this yours?" He picks up my bracelet in the doorway of my ensuite and my bedroom. "Yes!" I say, surprised and un known of how it got there. "That's mine, my mum gave it to me before..," I stop. ".. My mum gave it to me. I wonder how it got there." He just looks at me. Handing me my bracelet. As he does, he catches a glimpse of that symbol. He stops. He then quickly places it in my hand and quickly announces he has to leave. "Well, I should probably get back. Mum might be wondering where I got off to with the milk." "Ok" we start to walk towards the front door. "I'll see you later then?" He starts to walk down the steps. His eyes are the perfect shade of blue. He does the most gorgeous half smile I've ever seen. "Yes, I'll see you later. Bye" I smile and he smiles.

I shut the door. And I lock it. Apart from all his hotness I am still really shaken up about what just happened. Dad.

I need to call dad.
