I explained to Serena what I went down that evening, just because I decided to be stupid and not take my car out. I think I'd be scarred for the rest of my life. The memory of the knife he was holding was still fresh in my mind. I shuddered thinking about it.
"How did he know your name?" She asked confused.
"I don't know. I think he's been stalking me or something. Remember that car behind us? Could have been him. Its real creepy."
"We're not safe anymore," Reena looked around.
"I know. We need to get out of here," I said in a low whisper.
I was calm now. I winced in pain and rubbed some dried blood from my head with my fingers.
"Get me a first aid kit," Xavier said authoritatively, noticing my injury. Reena rushed into one of the rooms and brought back with her a box. She handed it over to him and watched as he treated the wound. Lucky me! I've met two young hot medical guys in a week!
"Ouch," I moaned in pain.
"It won't hurt anymore," he said to me, his voice soothing. He looked into my eyes for a moment and I shifted my gaze to his arms. Muscular with tattoos scattered across almost . One caught my eye.
The door burst open. It was May. Oh hey, May, I was just thinking about you but you didn't look horrified like you've just seen a ghost.
"I've been attacked," she said panting rather dramatically.
"Seriously?" I asked, sitting up.
"Yes," she stared at my bandaged, head, "what happened to y-"
"Yeah."
"I'm staying here. Cos there's no way I'm going back to my place," she hugged herself.

I woke up at 3:00am in the morning unable to sleep. Last night's events were still torturing me. I went over to the light switch and flicked it on. I turned to go to my bed and found May at the other side, sleeping soundly. She must've freaked out and crept into my bed.
I busied myself with reading a book and had my glasses on. A light tapping on the door distracted me.
"Who's there?" I asked while feeling for anything sharp object on my bedside table. A pair of scissors.. Seriously?
"Its Xavier," the voice said.
"Oh come in," I sighed in relief.
"Is everything alright? I came as soon as I saw the lights come on" he explained.
"I'm fine. Can't sleep," I said taking off my glasses. I didn't need then anymore.
I looked up and he was leaning against the doorframe and was studying me. I did the same. His dark hair was up in a quiff. He had nice brown eyes which reminded me of a chocolate bar I had earlier. I licked my lips.
"Hey, I'm not food," he laughed. Oh my he must have taken that the wrong way. I correct myself mentally not to think about food when I'm talking to people again.
"Disappointing. I'm hungry," I said in mock disappointment.
He chuckled,"pity I don't cook."
"Bummer," I rolled my eyes.
"OK. I'll be leaving now."
"No," I said almost instantly. I frowned at myself at how desperate I must have sounded,"I'm kinda enjoying your company."
"I figured," he smirked.
Apparently Tommy had sneaked in in the middle of the night. He wouldn't leave the house even when I told him to catch some sleep and get himself together. He would kill himself if something hurt Reena.
I walked across the kitchen carrying a tray with bacon and eggs. My bare feet made no sound on the tiles. No one heard me approaching. I stopped for a moment, thinking how worried and lost in thought everyone looked. Tommy and Reen were sitting beside each other, their hands entwined on the table. Xavier was sitting beside me and May at my other side.
I placed the tray gently on the table. No one noticed or glanced at me. I sighed audibly. I guess breakfast is going to waste.
Please vote comment and fan! Love, hugs and kisses.
Peace.
