Perfect Neighborhood..

Dinner Time

I wake up to the voice of a woman screaming for help. I run outside to see every neighbor out there, looking for answers. "Holy shit." I see everyone run to the woman lying in the street. I move my way through everyone and get to the girl. Everyone was just looking so I decided to help. "Give her space!" Everyone takes some steps back. "What happened?" I kneel in the puddle of blood. "My... arm..." I lift her arm to see a huge gash in it. "Wow," I say, looking around for something. "Does anyone have a bandana they are willing to not keep?" I see people with bandanas shaking their head no. "Someone, Please?" a little boy, probably about 5 years old makes his way through the crowd. He takes the bandana off his head. "Here you go, miss." I smile big and take the bandana. "Thank you so much." I tie the bandana above the cut so it stops the bleeding. "Y/n?" I look up to see Jaslyn, Carter, and Julian. "One of you call the ambulance." They stand there, shocked. "NOW!" Jaslyn runs to her home, calling 911. "Who did this to you?" I ask. "Nei...gh..bor.." she passes out and I check for a pulse. "Mommy!" The little boy says, startled. "Shhh, It's okay buddy. She's still breathing." His mother comes to the front of the crowd and picks him up. "Y/n... are you okay?" I look up at Julian and nod. "Yeah just... light-headed and... grossed out." I start to hear sirens. "Did anyone see this happen or who did this?" everyone stays quiet. "Sweetie, this is the third person in this neighborhood today. Whoever did this is all the same person." I look behind me to see Julian's aunt. "Hi" I smile, "Hi," she responds. "Wait... you said... third?" She nods.

Next thing I know the paramedic is shaking me. I guess I just zoned out. "You witnessed this?" I stand up and he starts walking to the ambulance so I follow him, "No I was just the only one to actually do something." He nods. "Sit on this." He pats a stretch bed. "Okay." He gets a rag and a water bottle. "Let me clean you up." I shake my head, no. It's okay, I got it. I don't want you to hold her up from getting to the hospital." He laughs, "No, a van already took them. They just told 2 vans to come out for safety reasons." I nod, "Oh, okay." He starts cleaning the blood of me. "So, explain to me what happened." I summarize what had happened. "No one knows anything about who stabbed any of the victims?" I shake my head, "No. I asked but no one said anything." "Y/n!" Julian and his Aunt and Uncle walk up to me. "Guys, please leaver her be for a little." I shake my head, "No, they're okay." the paramedic nods. I get off the stretcher and he puts it in the van "Thank you for your cooperation." I nod, "Yeah, of course." I turn around to face Julian and he hugs me tight. "Hi to you too." I giggle. "Y/n," he lets go of me but keeps an arm around my shoulders, "This is my Aunt and Uncle. They both hug me. We talk for a little and then they go home.

It's just me and Julian, now sitting on my steps outside. "Y/n, Julian," Jaslyn says running up to us with carter. "Please come to dinner with me and Carter and my house. Please." I shake my head, "I can't Jas, you know I'm having dinner with Julian and his Aunt and Uncle. "You have to," She says giving us puppy eyes. "Jas thinks the woman her father is having an affair with is the killer." Carter blurts out. Me and Julian and look at Jaslyn. "What?" She nods and sighs. "Seriously. You have to come to dinner." I shake my head, "Jas we can't" Julian interrupts me. He places his hand on mine. "Let's do it. When?" Jaslyn smiles, "20 minutes." he nods, "We'll be there." I look at Julian, "Julian? They leave tonight and don't come back for a few more weeks." He nods, "You don't think I know that? Y/n, I can assure you this dinner will be a lot more interesting than with my Aunt and Uncle." I sigh. "Also, one more thing" I look up at Jaslyn. "I know you guys arent.. Official official.. so uhm. You kinda have to act like you guys are dating. I mean, me and Carter have to do the same so.." Me and Julian look at each other. "Uhm, okay..?" she smiles, "Trust me. You'll want to." Everyone left but Julian. "You have 5 minutes to get changed. I assume you aren't wearing sweats and a tank top. I'll be here in 5." He stands up and walks to his house. I smile and go into my house. I put on a cute black and white cami plaid dress with white flats. I put my hair in a cute messy bun with lip gloss and mascara and a slight amount of blush. I hear a knock at my door. I turn off my bedroom light and open my front door. "Julian." I smile at him. He is looking SO FINE. He's smiling at me "Woah." He smiles and I hug him. "Let's go." As we walk to Jaslyns house there is a guard in front of their house, sitting in his car. Me and Julian look at each other. "Excuse me?" I knock on the window and the guard rolls it down. "Yes?" I smile at the guard, "What are you doing in front of this house?" He shrugs. "Well, there has been a few.. killings in this neighborhood so I was set out to watch the streets." I nod, "Thank you."

"Hi!" Jaslyn says as she opens the door, bringing me into a hug. "You must be Y/n and Julian!" Jaslyn's father says. Julian and I shake hands with him. We all sit down at the table and the lady her father is having an affair with sits down. "Jenny" She smiles at us. "Oh, you must be Jaslyns mother! Oh, wait... her mother's name is Casey. Who are you?" Jaslyn looks at me with her eyes widened. "I am just... a co-worker of Steve." Jaslyn looks at her. "Don't lie to my friends. You seem really bad right now because they know exactly who you are and what your purpose for being here is." I smile at Jaslyn. "What is my purpose being here exactly?" Jaslyn goes to speak but I interrupt her, "Ruining Jaslyns family." Jenny looks at me and clears her throat. "Excuse me?" Steve says. "Sorry steve, but once I speak out about something, I won't stop because you deserve to know exactly how your daughter is feeling because you are so blinded by fucking this girl, you don't even take time out of your day to make sure she's okay." "Baby..." I smile at Julian after hearing him call me that. "That isn't true. I check up on her." I nod, "Right... so you knew she was cutting herself? Not eating?" Steve looks at her. "Dude!" Carter says "Carter, the only way I'll stop is if Jaslyn wants me too." Everyone looks at Jaslyn and she shakes her head no. "No, she can continue. She's right about everything. She is saying everything I wanted to but I was too scared too"

A little bit later, we're all in the living room. We all talked it out and everything is okay. Not really but it isn't weird around us all. "I think I should get going. I stand up and Julian stands up, "You aren't walking home alone, there's a psycho out there on the loose." Jenny laughs, "Did you guys know there is a place across the hill down the street. I heard that's where the murderers hang out. But don't go, they won't hesitate to kill anyone who dares to go." I look confused. "Wait, murderers?" I emphasize on the 's'. She nods, "Mhm. You guys should get going home." Julian grabs my arm. "Let me walk you home." I shake my head, "Julian... I'm fine" Jenny nods, "She is. I think the murderer is done killing for the night, trust me. She is okay to walk home alone." Jaslyn stands up. "I think I'm going to sleep over at y/n's tonight." I smile as Jaslyn. "Sit down, Jas." Jaslyn walks over to her, "You didn't earn to call me Jas and You are NOT my mom in any way, shape, or form." She slaps the girl across the face and we walk out. "Okay but that was pretty sus at the end about the whole murderous thing." She states walking to my house. "Yeah, it was but are we not going to address how badass that slap was!" We all laugh and agree. Carter and Jaslyn are at Carter saying goodnight, probably making out. "Notice every time you point them out, we get closer and closer?" I look at his eyes, losing my breath, getting butterflies in my stomach. "I'm hoping you compliment them again soon. Maybe we'll be even closer." I remember Julian saying the other day. "Goodnight, Dimples," I say smiling while unlocking my door. Julian grabs my hand and pulls me into a kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps him around my waste. "I was waiting for you to talk about them again." I smile as we let go of each other and Jaslyn comes up to us. "I know you were." He smiles. "Good night, babe," He says laughing and walking away. "Goodnight, dimples," I say again, teasing him. I look at him as he walks away and he shows me his middle finger. I laugh and walk in the house with Jaslyn. We get dressed and talk about things and fall asleep.
