Protect Me

Chapter 6

( Olivia P.O.V)

I woke up with a soar throat and a stuffed nose. My neck ached and so did my chest. Finally a day to sleep in. As I slipped back into sleep, my mind brought up the past.

Running to the playground with my niece, hearing her cute little giggle filled my heart with joy. As I ran I suddenly ended up running in an alley, hearing gun shots behind me. My breath quickened and I tried to get away but I just couldn't. I went nowhere are he caught up to me, my legs raced to leave but went nowhere, sobs where pouring out of me as he caught up...

Screams filled the whole apartment as I woke up in a snap. I glanced at the clock in my room, 4 hours was how long I slept.

Phil entered the room with a cup of coffee an some medicine.

I was still catching my breath and held tears in my eyes as he sat down on a chair next to my bed.

" Sleep good?" A sarcasm tone left his lips and so did a chuckle

" I was mortified!" I sobbed and threw myself in his chest but still laid in bed.

I did care about his smart ass comment, it felt so real. my heart pounded so hard I thought I'd have cardiac arrest right there.

"Sorry about the nightmare, I just finished putting up cameras so I'll be on my way. " Phil wasn't much of a touchy Phily guy.

( did you get my pun, anyways Phil isn't an emotional guy)

Phil stood up leaving me to hang slightly off the bed exhausted from my nightmare. After I heard the door close I slid completely off the bed and laid on the floor for an hour or so. When I decided I smelt gross I hopped
don't the shower. As I undressed and got in the tub I noticed a small, blackish cube thingy. quickly I noticed it was a -

"Shit, shit,shit,shit...You pig!"
I ripped off the camera from the head of the shower and tossed it in the drain. I quickly finished my shower and got dressed in there. I thought I'd have a little more privacy than this.

I went out into my living room. the tv was gone and books had replaced it.

"Ugh. Of Mice and Men, haven't read that one sense the 7th grade." I whispered to myself.

I stood there gazing at the old pieces of literature. The Necklace, The Raven, and Lord of the Flies really stood out to me. I stat down and opened up The Necklace and began reading it. Soon after I was starting and finishing about half a shelf from the large bookcase.

I was about to begin Cask of Amontillado by Poe when I began to feel tired. I decided to set the book down and take a nap.

BANG. BANG. My heart beat was so heavy, I felt it I my ears. this time when I screamed, no one came to my rescue I sat there teary eyed. Absolutely terror filled my sleep.
