Harley's POV

I wake up the next morning, my hair messed up and the covers strewn across the bed. I groan. I have nightmares almost every single night, so it's become a habit that I wake up a mess.

I reread Billie's message over and over again, a smile appearing on my face every time. She's so amazing, even though i've only known her for a bit now.

A knock at the door surprises me, and I quickly throw a housecoat on. While making my way towards the door, my phone buzzes, and I decide to check it.

Unknown: Open the door please :)

Wait.. the hell? What random person is deciding to come to my house at 8 in the morning. And why do they have my number?

I hear a groan coming from the other bedroom and see Paisley walking out of the doorway. "What's going on?" She mumbles. Paisley and I are roommates.

"I don't know. Some random person." I whisper. An alert look appears on Paisley's face, and I put my finger to my lips.

I look through the peephole. All I can see is dark brown hair, and the person looks about 6 foot, judging the distance between the peephole and their face.

I open the door slowly. "Hello?" I greet them dryly, the door hardly open. The man had an angry look on his face.

"Do you even remember me, Harley?" He speaks lowly, but doesn't move a muscle. I can hardly recognize this guy, so I have no idea what he's talking about.

I look around to see Paisley is standing behind me protectively, her phone in hand. "No." I reply, looking at him.

He leans forward to grab my hand, but I pull away. "What do you want?" I reply bitterly, him now getting on my nerves.

He chuckled slowly. "Oh, Harley.. how do you not remember me? I'm Kevin." Suddenly, all the memories come back, and my face twists into a scowl.

"Get out." Kevin is my ex from when I was around 14-15 years old. He had verbally, and
sometimes physically, abused me until I left him.

"No no, my cupcake. I'm just here to talk." My eyebrows furrow. "Don't call me cupcake. You have no room to talk. And how do you even know where I live?"

"I have my ways." He smiled. "But this is an important matter that must be discussed." He then raises an eyebrow at Paisley. "Alone."

"You can bet there's no way in hell i'm going anywhere with you alone." I snap. "Say what you need to say here, or we will call the cops."

Kevin's smile turned downwards into a frown. "Fine then. Have it your way." He turns around and walks away, and I slam the door.

I can feel myself shaking as tears run down my cheeks, and warm arms snaking around my sides as Paisley hugs me. "It'll be ok." She says quietly. "We'll make sure he never comes back again." I nod slowly, wiping the tears away.
