CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Alex

I hid in the closet and my heart felt like it was going to pound out of my chest. My blood was rushing in my ears and I could hardly hear a thing. I felt like I would pass out so I took deep breaths to calm myself. It wasn’t helping that much, but I continued because it was something to do that distracted me from what was happening. My back was against the back of the closet and my knees were pulled up with my arms resting on the top. I would like to say that my hands held my gun steady, but that wasn’t true. I was shaking so bad that I wasn’t sure I would hit anyone if they stood right in front of me.

I heard something break through the window in the bedroom and I scooted into the corner of the closet to conceal myself further. I didn’t think it would work, but I had to get as far from the terror as possible. I heard footsteps enter the bedroom, but they quickly retreated when gunfire erupted from somewhere else in the house. I couldn’t take it anymore and I set my gun down and covered my ears. Tears pricked my eyes and I willed myself to stay quiet. It grew quiet and I steeled my spine and picked up my gun again. There was no way I could protect myself if I didn’t pull it together.

Cole had told me to stay in here, but I was getting nervous that he was no longer alive. What if he needed help and I just hid here? I couldn’t live with myself if something happened to him while trying to protect me. I was just about to get up when I heard music coming from somewhere. I couldn’t place it at first, but then I recognized the song as the one Cole had first asked me to dance to. This guy was playing with me. He wanted me to feel terror and I did. I was so scared right now that I didn’t know if I would survive for him to kill me.

I heard a thump outside the bedroom and then nothing but music. When nothing else happened, I decided to check out what was going on. I stood slowly and approached the closet door. I quietly unlocked it and turned the knob slowly. I peeked out of the door when there was just a sliver to see through. I couldn’t see anything like this and decided I was going to have to be brave and open the door. I locked my grip on the gun and swung the door open. I aimed my gun around the room, but saw nothing. I saw the rock on the floor where it had broken through the window. Glass was all over the floor and I carefully stepped around it to avoid making noise. I was about to keep going when I thought better of it and reached down to grab a shard to hide under my sleeve.
