Sometimes I expect him to just be there when I wake up.

To be looking over while I'm sleeping with that look in his eyes. A daring smile I had admired.

To open my eyes and see him staring down at me, his hands in my throat as he slowly crushed My neck. His hold tight as he choked me to death.

This is the nightmare that keels me up at night after I left the hospital.

Police often patrolled the area now, just to keep my family safe. We've been put under high alert. people are afraid that the Reeds are going on somebody's hit list.

The ceiling had casted shadows across its surface and the bed slumped downward as I pressed my body against it. My heart was drumming. Not with live, yet with fear.

My mind was racing as the crunching of tires against gravel added to my paranoid state.

A gut feeling told me something was about to happen.

A gut feeling told me someone was in danger.

That the police were at the wrong house.

"Blake." I mumbled in my dazed state.

He hadn't visited me after the first visit. It was as almost as of he had vanished.

Thomas and Danny would drop by a couple of times to crack jokes yet whenever I had asked them if they knew where Blake was, they would suddenly hush. Then come back the next time as if nothing ever happened.

He was just gone.

Thus send another gut feeling stabbing my insides.

I sit up, pushing the blanket to the side as I slip on my converse. The purple sweatpants and black tank top were not my first choice to sleep apparel, yet I was to lazy to change out of them. I shuffled downstairs to stop midway. My mother was watching TV with this nice looking police officer.

"She would never let me out." A voice pitched in my head. I was shocked at first.

"You're back?" I ask the tiny voice in my head.

Silence follows and I feel myself smirk.

"Out the window." The voice whispers.

///

Cold air finds its way itching underneath my sweatshirt.The bandages in my side ache but I continue to walk towards Blake's house. Cars barely passed as she avoided any dark allies.

his house came into view.

Then a woman screams from inside.

I run.
