Bump Into You// Harry Styles

Chapter 7

Why am I suddenly getting these notes? And who is this anonymous person? I'm really getting scared now. It's not just paranoia. After I got that note last night, I went to bed around 3 in the morning. I'm so glad that it is a sunday morning so I don't have to stress about being tired at school. I still have stuff to do today though.

Now is 9:30 am and I know that if I want to have some alone time, I better get a head start in my cleaning. I got out of bed and headed to my bathroom. Once I was inside, I took a good look in the mirror. My hair is in a tangled mess and my eyes had bags under them. How much uglier can I get? I groaned at my appearance. I took a quick shower and got dressed in a tanked top and a pair of short shorts since I will definitely get sweaty. I brushed my teeth and brushed my hair in a messy bun on the top of my head.

I first got to cleaning my bedroom and then my bathroom before heading downstairs. I went to the kitchen and started washing the dirty dishes. How there were dishes in the sink, beats me.

I wiped the counter until I saw my reflection in it. I went ahead and swept the floor. I took the garbage from the bin that was mostly consisted of beer bottles. I rolled my eyes.

When I got outside, I turned the garbage bag over since there was nothing wrong with the bag. The beer bottles were drained so the bag wasn't wet and there were no food in it so it could be used again. As I was getting the bag up from the bin, I spotted A shadow the same place I spotted it the other night. What in the world is going on here? Seems like I'm one of those persons who spots shadows anywhere. I do because of the paranoia. I sense things that most people don't  because of it. sometimes what I sense is real and sometimes it's not. Now, now  I don't know what to think. I shrugged and went back inside to finish my cleaning.

***
Ah! I exclaimed when I finally hit the bed after a well deserved shower. It feels good. My muscles are killing me. I can feel my eyes getting droopy. Just as I was about to close my eyes, my phone beeps. Ugh! What now?

I hope it's not a message from that j person or I'm going to freak. Thankfully, when I looked at the phone, it was a message from my.........mom? What? Why is she texting me.

Come down these stairs now!
It read. Ok

I got up and put on something presentable. Knowing my mom, she would probably want me to go to the store for beer. But she can't be out of beer already! To my mom that is not impossible.

When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I saw a man in a suit. He had papers scattered all over the coffee table. Good thing I just cleaned this house or I'm sure he wouldn't have come in.

"Ahh miss Freshman. Good evening." He looked up at me with a dazzling smile that showcased his pearly white teeth.

I gave a small nod to acknowledge what he said. I don't like talking to strangers even though he looks familiar.

"My name is Harold Payne and your father and I were good friends and business partners. I'm here to make sure that the house is in good condition and that you are well and also for you to sign some papers to finalize the renewal of the house insurance." He stated while his head was still stuck in the papers that he was sorting out. So he's a friend of my dad. That's how I knew him.

"Excuse me, did you say renewal?" I asked. I'm sure we don't have money to do that. But dad said that we wouldn't have to pay large amounts of cash on the house because for as long as 30 years, the only bills that we would be paying is for the lights. So why would we need to renew insurance. This makes no sense.

"Your dad left some money in the bank for this type of work. That is the money that we will use to do it. I'm sorry if you didn't know about this miss Freshman." oh ok that makes sense now. Still it irks me. I shrugged and started signing papers. I made sure to read it though. I've read about these kinds of stuff in books. People signing stuff without reading and basically give away all they own. Including their bodies. It did say that it was for the renewal thing. So that's why I signed.
