Chapter 55

I felt my blood freeze as I heard that piece of information. “no way” I looked at him with wide eyes.

He simply nodded, taking another sip of his thing “she follows me around and wouldn’t let me have peace” he raffled his fingers through his head from frustration. “she somehow covers her trail and now, I don’t know how, she’s back.”

I stopped listening to him. All that was ringing through my mind was that his ex was a crazy bitch who may or may not have killed someone.

“I’m sorry, but you came here? Into my house?,” I looked around the room as if I was just suddenly going to see some deranged lady in some parts of my room waiting to kill me.

“I looked around, she didn’t follow us.” He didn’t seem so sure of what he was saying and suddenly, living with Ben didn’t seem so dangerous.

I took in a deep breath. He looked tired and from what I could understand, even though he had not given me the full story, still was traumatic .

I nodded taking my spot back on the chair and waiting. Waiting for him to c9ntinye and tell me this it was all a lie, that he was just joking.

“I promise, my intention was not to put you in any type of danger” I fought the urge to raise my eye brow in a questioning manner, so I just shook my head and said nothing more.

“Why me? Why did you think i was the best option? I’m sure you had some other people you could have called.”

Something about how he had been ignoring me and then finally contacted mew because he wanted my help didn’t seat right with me. It was ass though he was using me.

“Because, I’ve thought about you since. There is only so much she can do, hopefully” I felt my heart speed up but not for the reasons anyone’s heart would. Mine was from pure and utterly terror.

There was a lot of things she could do to me and there was only so much he could do to save me from her.

“And honestly. I wouldn’t even lie. I like you” he looked at me like I was expected to know what he was talking about.

“I don’t. I don’t understand.” I really didn’t. I was slow when it came to things like this.

He moved closer to me as we were sitting on the same chair and then got his face close to mine, a little too close if I could say so myself, and then

His lips met mine.

I stood there frozen. He seemed to get the hint that I didn’t want that because he pulled away from me quickly.

“I’m so sorry, I don’t... I don’t know what came over me.” He looked panicked and I couldn’t do anything. I was shocked. “I just got carried away and then” he stopped as I stood from the chair. There was no way I could I stay in the same place as him.

I rushed into my room, got a pillow and a blanket.

Here, good night. Hope you have a good rest.” I slammed the door as soon as I walked back into my room. I stayed behind the door for a few minutes and I heard him curse out himself for a moment before everything went quiet again. I laid down on the bed, trying to calm my racing heart.

A lot seemed to be going on with little or no time to even take it all in. It was overwhelming

My boyfriend buy no so much of a boyfriend was acting fishy. My senses were not believing what it was he said but at the same time his story was believable. The guy who I thought was my friend didn’t want to talk to me, or so I think. I felt it was best to call Jim back tomorrow.

And finally, the who I thought was really going to be a good friend kissed me and has a crazy ex on his back who might kill me for being near him

I really can’t catch a break can I?” I said into nothingness willing myself to close my eyes to sleep.

I tossed and turned occasionally getting up to check the window for any suspicious movement that could end up being his ex.

Sleep finally came to me sometimes in the night with thoughts on why and how Tobias kissed me.
