Hey everyone:) Thought Trouble by Iggy Azalea was perfect <3
_______________________________

I took a moment to catch my breath and gather my bearings. Nothing could have prepared me for... whatever had just happened. It happened so suddenly, so immediately, that I couldn't have ever been prepared for it. 

I couldn't help the wide grin that spread across my face. There was no stopping it. Having felt alive with my first kiss, this experience was far better. 

Then, as if I'd awoken from a hypnotic haze, I remembered my father and his wrath. I knew for certain that I was done for. If my father ever found out this happened, he would never let me out to see the light of day. 

Oh no. 

As if things couldn't get any worse, I saw a bright pair of lights shine against the concrete pool. Looking up, I saw that a big van had pulled up and car doors were slamming, echoing errily in the silence. 

"Hero!" I exclaimed. "I thought you said they were on vacation!"

He simply shrugged. "They were. I guess they came home early."

In unison, all the lights inside the house flicked on, making us clearly visible. I began to see people mingling about, still unaware of us on the other side of the glass. 

I tugged at Hero's arm. "Come on! We have to get out of here!"

Hero chuckled. "I think it may be a bit late for that..."

I saw that a little girl- no older than five- was banging against the glass doors, looking back towards an older woman clearly asking her to come look. 

When the woman spotted us, she appeared shocked, maybe even afraid, and beckoned what I guessed was her husband to come look. 

I couldn't have been more mortified. I was extremely indecent. 

The husband swung open the sliding doors with purpose and began shouting at us:

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"

I remained silent not knowing how to reply. Hero remained sitting on the grass, staring at the man with no shame in his eyes. 

The man now revealed a bat in his hands, coming for us. 

"GET THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY!"

This threat now brought us both to our feet and out the gates. We rushed to the Ford Capri, still hearing the man behind us, slamming our doors and locking them. 

He didn't stop there- the man started beating the bat down on the hood of the car making me scream. This seemed to have put Hero into overdrive, slamming his foot on the gas and racing out of there as fast as he could. 

"What the hell were you thinking!" I was still screaming though, we were far away from the man. 

Hero started laughing maniacally.

"Wasn't that fun?" 

My eyes widened. Yes. I knew now. He was psycho. I shook my head, staring through the windshield. 

"Please just take me back to my dorm."

Hero shrugged. "As you wish."

As soon as we reached the lot and I bid Hero goodbye without bothering to hear his response, I rushed into the hall building, slamming my dorm door as soon as I made it inside. I rested my forehead against the cold wood, realizing the mistakes I made tonight. 

"Hope you had fun," 

I swiveled around, my heart beat halting. When I saw that it was indeed Josephine, I expelled a breath. 

"I'm so sorry." I apologized. "I thought you were my dad or something."

"No. Just me." Josephine replied, eyeing me suspiciously. 

I looked down at my soaked clothes which were now dripping onto our carpet. Shoot. I didn't think about asking for a towel. 

"Look, I can explain-" I began but Josephine interrupted me. 

"I don't care what you did. But whatever happened to staying away from Hero?" 

"I don't know," I answered honestly. "Something came over me... something always comes over me when it concerns him. He asked me to hang out with him and I agreed."

"At this point," Josephine went on, "I'm no longer worried about Hero. I'm worried about what your parents are going to do."

"If they find out." I said. 

Josephine sighed. "Naturally, they always seem to find everything out. Don't they?" 

I huffed. "I know. Look I had a long night. Shall we go to bed?" 

Josephine forced a small smile, turning off her lamp. "Goodnight, Kristina." 

"Night." I responded.
