I was in my room, drawing another sketch of someone I didn't know because faces were different every time. Suddenly I heard my phone made a "ding". Someone had sent me a message.
Unknown: How are you?
Me: Who's this?
Unknown: It's Peyton. I was given your phone number.
Me: wait? Why?
Peyton: Cause you need a bodyguard for the time being
My phone fell to the bed and I looked out of the window while trying to understand. I did remember what Matt said but I thought it was just an idea.
Me: wait, you're serious?
Peyton: yes, what did you think?
Me: that it was an idea that seemed good at that time?
Peyton: good or not but it's final.
Me: fine. When does your duty begin?
Peyton: actually... look down.
I was confused but did how he wanted. I saw nothing, just a few cars were outside. I started to write to him but he already had sent another text.
Peyton: one of the cars is mine
My eyes widened
Me: you're stalking me?
Peyton laughed
Peyton: Nah. I just came here to see the surroundings.
Me: you're kidding right?
Peyton: no. If I want to be my best when it's daylight, I can't keep myself awake all night. We're bringing security cameras here tomorrow.
Me: okay?
Peyton: I'm going. See you tomorrow.
Me: when?
Peyton: I'm your ride to school.
Me: since when?
Peyton: since today.
He ended the call. I heard an engine starting and I looked out a window. I saw a black car driving out of its parking spot.
Me: he was so close?
I kept my eyes on the car until it disappeared into the darkness of the night. I didn't know how I felt about this, so I continued my sketch.
NEXT DAY.
I was woken up by a terrible noise. Sleep still in my eyes, I barely reached my hand to the phone. My phone was silent like a stone. I put it back on the table and enjoyed the softness of my pillow.
Another loud noise came and I climbed out of bed while letting out a curse. It was barely 7 a.m and my phone was innocent, so I checked out of the window. The car from last night was parked in front of our house.
