“Where are you? Please, don’t leave me!”
Justin appears in front of me, surrounded by shadows. “I’m right here, Valerie. Just take my hand.”
I reach out and intertwine my hand with his. Then I watch in horror as the shadows that are coming from his body latch onto mine too. No matter how hard I try to get free, they manage to capture me. They claim my soul.
I scream, jolting upright. The fear of Justin and I being swallowed by shadows has my heart pounding.
“Valerie? You ready yet?” A voice calls out to me, but I can’t determine who it is through the buzzing in my ears.
I go to climb from my bed but find myself confused when I realize I’m tucked in tightly. What the hell? I hardly ever sleep with the covers on; why on earth am I tucked in like a fricking burrito?
A banging sounds on the door and then it flies off the hinges, smashing to the ground. I watch in disbelief as an angry Jaxson takes a step into the room, a fierce expression on his face. He only pauses when he sees me staring at the destruction he caused. His face shuts down, but not before I see worry flash across his face.
“You know you could have just knocked, right? I mean, did you really have to break down my door?”
He looks down at the door in question, which is utterly destroyed from his assault, and reaches up to run a hand through his hair. “Uh, I guess not. Next time, though, you should probably answer when someone calls for you.”
I smile, unable to hold back the expression with how protective his actions were. “Next time, I’ll be sure to answer when you call out. Now what’s up?”
“Your dad wants to talk to you before we leave, but I have an early class this morning, so you need to hurry up.” He doesn’t stay to offer further explanation, just turning on his heel and leaving me to wonder if he’s at least going to fix the door at some point.
I quickly grab some clothes and step into the bathroom to get dressed, hoping Dad will be in a better mood today. He yelled at me last night, something he’s never done before. I don’t recall what happened after he left, but I must just have come to bed.
I see my bag waiting by the door and grab it before I leave, glad that Jaxson was able to keep at least the main door to the pool house intact.
The moment I reach the main house, I can’t help the little sliver of dread that goes through me at the thought that my dad might further berate me for going off with Justin. But what can I say? He intrigues me.
As I walk into the kitchen, I see my dad sitting at the dining table, two cups of coffee in front of him. He sees me and immediately smiles. “Valerie, good. Take a seat. Cassandra and I would like to have a word with you.
