It was almost impossible to fall asleep. But do you blame me for tossing and turning all night? All too much kept running through my head but to some it up it would go something like this.

I went to prom with my boyfriend Shawn, my best friend Blaire, and her boyfriend Cameron. Then there was a shooting at my school and I don't know if any of them are alive because my phone is in my purse which is with Shawn. I went back to a place that I haven't been to in 2 years because it reminded me of my ex boyfriend, Matthew Espinosa. My ex boyfriend Matthew Espinosa was there. And now I'm in a motel room with him with many unanswered questions.

It was around 9 o'clock am now and Matt was still asleep. He looked so uncomfortable I almost felt bad that he was laying on the floor. I stared up at the ceiling and sighed. I heard Matt start to cough and it snapped me out of my gaze. I looked over at him to see if he was awake, and my luck he was.

"Hey." He said in his morning voice. Again, it sounded so foreign because I went 2 years with out hearing it.

I quickly flipped onto my other side that faced the dark blue wall, making it obvious I wasn't going to talk to him. I didn't even know if I had a voice today.

"Whitney please don't do this." He groaned. I heard him stand up slowly and he stumbled over to the bed and sat down. I scooted more towards the wall to get away from him.

"I will explain everything. Anything you want but you need to answer some of my questions." He sighed and placed his hand on my ankle.

"I expect a lot of answers Matthew." I croaked. My voice was barley above a whisper.

"And I will give them to you. I promise." His hand slid up a little more. I kicked it off of me and sat up. I flipped my hair over and tied it into a messy bun and yawned.

"Why were you out there? Why was there a shooting at my school? Why did you leave 2 years ago?" I started to ask as I looked into his eyes.

"I was out there because there is someone after you. He tried to shoot you at your school. He thought he would get lucky and find you. I left because I thought I was protecting you."

"Who is after me? Why? What's going on?!" I squealed.

"I don't know his name. He never told me Whit. I just call him no name. He is after you because I disobeyed him once and he new about you. I got involved with the wrong people back then." He explained. My head started to pound as all of the information he told me absorbed into my mind. I felt as if I was going to throw up rocks.

"What do you mean wrong crowd?" I shuddered.

"All of the times I was gone I was with them. Street fighting, drug dealing, all of that kind of stuff." He struggled to get out.

"I trusted you." I said between my teeth. His head dropped down slightly.

"I promise you are safe with me. I won't let no name hurt you." He shook his head.

"What about my boyfriend? My best friend? Her boyfriend? My dad? I don't have a phone to contact anyone Matt. It's like I'm stuck here with nothing but a person I hate. I hate you." I got up and ran into the bathroom again. I locked the door and turned on the light. I started to breathe heavily, trying to prevent what was going to happen.

I was having a panic attack.

I struggled to unlock the door again but I eventually got it. I rushed out and over to Matt trying to speak but only my breathing quickened. His eyes went wide and he immediately stood up and wrapped his arms around me. I tried to fight his grip but it tightened every time I tried. Tears poured down my face as I squirmed in his arms.

"Deep breathes." he hushed me. I inhaled and exhaled several times before I started to calm down.

Once I was completely calm and breathing normal Matt let go of me.

"When did these start?" He asked.

"When you left." I answered as I got up off of the ground and went back into the bathroom where I took yet another shower just to pass time.
