"Open your eyes and stop being scared!" Brennen practically yelled at me, and I couldn't. I just couldn't.

I told cole I wouldn't open my eyes, and I don't want to break that now. I can't.

I start doing my breathing exercises I usually do when I'm about to have a major panic attack.

Soon, I calm down and take my hands off my face, but my eyes still squeezed shut. I can't. I can't. I can't.

And, I don't like being yelled at. That's not what made me cry, of course. I cried at the thought of dying.

My motto in life was to live it to the fullest, and there's still so damn much I want to do. And if I end up dying, today, right now..it will only make me shatter.

And, if these people weren't armed, I'd probably attack them by now.

"OPEN YOUR EYES" brennen yells "YOU MIGHT AS WELL SINCE YOU KNOW OUR NAMES!" he says getting closer to my face.

I stand up suddenly. "Don't yell at me" I grumble, poking his chest.

"You are gonna regret it" I state simply and step closer to him, making him step back. I can't tell if he scared or not, my eyes are still closed.

"I may seem fragile, but I have a dream in life and you. YOU! Are about to ruin that for me and that's not going to happen" I say angrily.

"Woah, Blondie. Forgot I had a gun?" He scoffed.

"No, I didn't. Brennen." I say "I'm tired of you yelling in my face about something I don't know!" I yell, and shove him.

"And for YOU" I say, turning to Cole, or Colby. "why me?" I ask. "Why yesterday night when my parents had just left and I'm helpless? Hm? I promised my parents I would be safe and you ruined that. " I say, feeling like I'm about to lose my mind.

"And you can probably see by now," I paused and back away from the both of them. "I'm a control freak and I like things going the way they are planned"I grumble darkly.

"And I have a plan alright" i say, "hope you guys didn't forget you're in a house. A place of many possibilities, And you guys seemed to have forget that, may I list them?" I say.

"Knives, forks, glass, fans, pencils, scissors" I'm sure I've gone crazy now. "The list goes on, and on" I trail off darkly.

"Now I'm scared alright" I remind them. "But I speak my mind when I need to" I speak.

"Now, do you really want me to uncover my eyes?" I ask, crossing my arms. No response. "That's what I thought, you idiots" I say and sit on the couch. "Now, where were we?" I ask, boredly. When I didn't get an answer I scoffed. "Go on, yell at me"

"Let's keep looking for the safe" I hear brennen say to Cole, who I'm assuming agreed because they walked off into another room.

I didn't know I would snap like that, especially since I'm as scared as a mouse getting chased by a cat.

My anxiety soon comes back and I freak out mentally.

I've gone crazy, haven't i??

I want to open my eyes so damn bad, but I just can't. I want to see the nineteen year old who broke into my house.

He's making me go insane. It's weird knowing I like someone without seeing them.

I start tapping my foot out of habit and bite my nails.

I get up, and feel my way around my house until I hear talking come from the room I'm assuming they're in.

I lean on the door frame. "Any luck?" I asked, as if this was normal.

"No" Cole mumbled.

"Hm" I say, standing up straight.

I hear my phone start to ring in Coles back pocket.

"Give it to me" I say.

"What? No" he responds and continues.

"Now"I say, and I feel my phone being passed to me.

I open my eyes slightly to see the caller ID and see it's my mom. I furrow my eyebrows and close my eyes to answer.

"Hello?" I ask in my more sweet voice.

"Hey Sammy, I'm sorry but me and your father have a change of plans and aren't coming home until tuesday" she says sadly.

"Huh, why?" I ask, worried why they've pushed it further.

"Some of the things we were planning on doing got cancelled til two days after today. So, it got pushed two more days" she says, not doing a great job explaining why.

"That's okay" I say smiling, when on the inside I'm upset because I'll be stuck with these two until they find the damn safe.

"Okay, love you sweetie, stay safe, and don't let strangers into the house" she reminds me as always, and I nearly Choke on air knowing I didn't do that.

"Y-yes mom, love you too" I say, hanging up.

"Wha'd she say?" Cole asks.

"She's not coming back til Tuesday.." I state and look down.

I start crying and sit down silently on the floor.

- unknowns p.o.v -

Brennen couldn't care less that Sam was crying, but I felt guilty. I decided to sit next to him, and awkwardly rub his back. He automatically flinched from my touch. "What's wrong, why are you crying?" I ask.

He tensed up. "Why do you think, Cole? You two decided to choose my house over anyone else's, and ruin my life. Like I said, I'm a control freak, and I broke my mom's promise" Sam says harshly for a second, but he only cries more.

I feel more guilty. I hug him for a second before getting up and walking over to brennen who was still looking.

"He should probably see our faces" I whisper, suddenly turning soft for the blonde haired boy.

Brennen looks at me. "Yep, that's what I suggested but nooo, princess over there decided to go against it" he says harshly.

"Hey, don't speak like that about him" I say stern.

"Oh what?is he your little boyfriend?"
