I woke up feeling very restless as I didnt sleep much after what happened. I get up and stretch my limbs before going to the restroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Feeling a little more awake, I walk towards the guest room to find it empty. Confused, I headed down stairs to find Felix. He had offered to stay the night with me and slept in the guest bedroom.

I walk into the kitchen to find him making breakfast, his back towards me. Max wagging his tail as Felix fed him sausage. I smiled and enjoyed their cute interaction before slightly clearing my throat.

Both turn around to look at me and I laugh. Max barks and runs away embarrassed he was caught. I roll my eyes at the dramatic dog and walk towards Felix.

"What's all this?" I ask and he scratches the back of his head.

"Well I woke up early and I figured you'd want to start the morning off right." He winks and I thank him as I observed what he had made.

"How'd you know I liked my eggs scrambled?" Along with the eggs he had made sausage and toast. Overall one my favorite meals to eat in the morning.

"Lucky guess. Also I dont know how else to make eggs." I laughed as he shrugged his shoulders. He smiles and  takes out the chocolate milk from the fridge. "Want some?"

"Yes!" I exclaimed like a child. He raised his eyebrows and laughed at my excitement. "I freaking love Chocolate milk dude."

"That's so cute." I feel my face blush but ignore his comment and take the glass from him before mumbling a thank you.

Felix and I ate in the living room and watched a random show that was on. It was about a woman bumping into a celebrity and finds her life flipped upside down. She befriends the celebrity and her boyfriend but ends up getting herself caught in their messy relationship. While trying to help them she falls in love with the boyfriend, how scandalous.

"You know that guy kinda looks like you." I point to the man on the screen
They were doing a scene where he finds the girl in a comma. Max comea up to me and whins. I give into his puppy eyes and give him my last sausage.

"As if, I'm much more handsome." I roll my eyes at the cockiness laced in his tone but smile nonetheless.

"Mhmm sure." Felix winks before collecting the plates. "Why are we watching this?" He questions as he takes the empty plates to the sink.

"Good question." I turn off the Tv as the woman wakes up but cant remember who she is. What a dramatic show.

I turn to Felix who leans on the counter with his arms folded. He exhales before giving me a look. "What?"

"Are you okay?" I sigh as I knew why he was concerned.

After calling the police they told us they couldnt find anything to link to who it was. Apparently all the intruder did was break my window and leave the note. Part of me was worried, someone was out to get me, but why?

"Honestly I'm just trying to make sense of it all." He gets up from the counter and takes the spot next to me.

"You think it was the killer?" Felix asked but I stayed silent. It was a possibility but why did he leave a note? He had never done anything like that to the rest of his victims. He also had a habit of targeting certain females but I didnt fit that criteria.

"I dont know, I mean he's never left a note before, and why would he target me? I thought the killer came after woman who were unfaithful." I mumbled as my brain was consumed by thoughts. My mind trying to make a connection as to why I would be threatned.

My eyes shoot open as I look up to Felix.

"What?"

"I think I know why he threatened me...Can I tell you a secret?"
