"Alex!" I yell, I need his protection right now. Noah disappears and returns with a knife. He slowly approaches me and I try to get out of my bed, I fail. He wraps an arm around me and presses the knifes tip to my neck. "Please, don't," I say. "Shut up!" He yells. "Alex!" I yell again. I shut my eyes, wanting this to end. Then I hear someone running towards my room. "Skylar!" I hear Alex's voice yell. Alex bursts in the room, he has a gun in his hand. "Where's Noah?" He asks, clearly he can't see him. "Right next to me," I say. "Close your eyes, I promise I won't hit you," he replies. I close them as told and wait. I hear the sound of a bullet whizzing through the air, I can't hear anything else. Then the sound of contact, it hit it's target. The knife leaves my neck and falls onto the bed in front of me. Noah falls off the bed and disappears. Alex removes the knife from the bed and sits next to me. "What happened?" He asks, twirling my hair in between his fingers. "Noah entered the room, disguised as you, so I let him sit next to me and then you disappeared and Noah showed up and then everything happened so fast," I say, starting to cry. "Shh, shh, it's okay, Noah's gone," he says comfortingly. "He'll be back," I say. "Don't worry about that now," he replies. I snuggle up against his chest, so I can feel his heartbeat. "Thank you for saving me," I say. "Anytime, Sky," he responds, wrapping his arms around me. I fall into a peaceful sleep.
