Journal 1: Erica Silver

Chapter Eleven:The Beginning Of A New Life

...I got to the gas station and decided just to keep the knife and put it at the bottom of my bag.

I laid down and covered up with my jacket using my bag as a pillow. When I heard a voice, I hoped never to hear again at least not for today.

"Hey Erica, if you don't have anywhere to stay you could stay with me." It was Sho.

I pretended to be asleep I DID NOT want to talk to him.

"I know you're not asleep."

"How?"

"You clenched your fist as soon as you heard your name." Why did this dude have to be cute, kind, smart, taken, and observant?!?!

"I don't need a place to stay. I'm fine out here." I said in a cold tone.

"With all these killers around you sure?" He was obviously worried, but I didn't care.

"I can take care of myself. Thank you."

"Ok, see you at work tomorrow."

"Yeah."

----

I once again almost got to sleep when I hear my name being said this time in more of a whisper. I rolled over to see Wade.

"Yes?" I answered annoyed.

"You remember how I said I bought that apartment for us to share?"

"Yeah." I said monotonously.

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to take me up on my offer."

"N... Sure." If I say no, then I most likely going to see Sho again and not just at work.

I walked with him to the apartment which was already fully furnished surprisingly even the room he said was mine. Was furnished plain and mainly black but you could tell he tried.

"How did you get the money in only a few days?"

"I have my ways."

I glared at him while I sat on my new bed.

"Ok, ok a friend helped me out with the money."

"Knew it! Now if you don't mind, I need my beauty rest."

He left the room and I got changed into my pajamas for once I could wear them. A black nightgown with a werewolf howling at a full moon. Then laid down this was the first time in a while I got to sleep in a comfortable bed. My eyes instantly started to feel heavy, and I fell asleep.

-----

I woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon popping in the pan and all the grease sizzling around it. I got up and walked to the kitchen Wade was cooking breakfast now I was worried.

"What are you doing?"

"Making breakfast."

"You are awful at cooking."

"Thanks, for believing in me." He said sarcastically.

"I'm going to go take a shower. Try not to burn down the house."

I walked back to my room and grabbed the outfit Sho got for me and got a shower. I put the outfit on with some knee-high boots and plain makeup. I brushed my hair and put white hairpins in to make three X's holding back my hair in a row. And walked back into the kitchen.

"Wow."

"Wade, what did I say yesterday."

"What can't a brother compliment how beautiful his sister looks."
