I stand still, frozen in place.

What am I supposed to do?

"What the hell do you want?" I ask the mysterious man that has been following us all night.

"Come with me, sweetheart," the man grabs my wrist but before he can take me anywhere, Luke pulls my free arm into his room, closing and locking the door.

Luke pulls me into his body, hugging me tightly. But he lets me go, too soon.

"Do you think we're aloud to stay here tonight?" I ask, looking for an answer in Luke or Calum.

"Of course. I'm not letting you walk out of here until it's light and everyone else is up," Luke agrees.

"Thank you," me and Sara both give a smile to Luke.

After taking my shoes off and putting my sweater back on, I lay down on the futon.

"Here," Luke lays a soft blanket over me.

"You know what, Hemmings? You may not be so bad after all," I grin at him before turning over to try to sleep.

I wake up to Calum and Luke's hushed voices. Before I make it noticeable that I'm awake I start to eavesdrop. It's not that I'm nosy, I just want to know what's going on with them two.

"It was more scary than it sounded. God I was so scared he was gonna take her," It sounds like Luke says.

Before he says anything else, I start to rub my eyes, letting out a small groan while I stretch from my sleep the previous night.

"What time is it?" I mumble.

"6:30,"

"Do we have school today?"

"Cancelled because of the power," Calum states.

"Fuck yeah," I mutter, sitting up from the couch, stretching once again.

After standing up and stretching yet again, I walk over to Calum's bed to wake up Sara.

"Sara, we have to get back to our dorm," I shake her body to help her wake up.

When she finally wakes up, we thank the boys, say our goodbyes and sneak out of the dorm building.

"Last night was so scary," Sara whines.

"Were you the one face to face with the damn person?"

"Still. I was scared for you,"

I just scoff, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Did you and Luke kiss and make out while we were gone?"

"We were kinda more concerned about the weird ass person that was telling me one of us killed somebody," I roll my eyes at her comment.

We make it to our dorm, taking our separate ways to our own rooms to get ready for whatever day is planned for us.

It sucks because I can't take a shower, brush my teeth or really get ready at all because of the power outage. So instead of feeling gross, I just use some mouthwash and spray dry shampoo in my hair before brushing through it and putting it up in a ponytail.

After I sit around for awhile debating on what to do, I decided to just leave the dorm and walk around to think. I'm not even sure what I'm thinking about but it's overwhelming me for some reason.

I make it to the soccer field that is normally empty during the afternoons on weekdays, but today I see a tall boy practicing on the field.

I walk down the steps to the field, walking over to the sidelines.

"What're you doing down here?" I ask Luke as he's about to kick the soccer ball into the goal.

He looks over at me, grinning before stopping his action to pick up the ball from the ground before walking over to me.

"I could ask the same to you," his over towering body looks down at me.

"Was just taking a walk," I shrug my shoulders.

"Do you want to practice with me?" He asks.

"I'm not that good," I warn him.

"I don't care. I just need to get my mind off of last night and you can help me with that," he smiles at me before walking back on the field before I soon follow behind him.
