Ella pov

Now I'm at Caleb's apartment thinking of something to paint, but this guy is just sitting there like we don't have anything to do

"Are you gonna help me think?" He just shakes his head "why?" He look at me "because, I'm the one who's gonna paint it, so you think of a thing or whatever to paint and i'll paint it"

"You do know that we need to finish this ti'll tomorrow, monday is the presentation of this painting" he just nod at me and continue playing with his phone

After a few hours I still can't think of anything cause if a suggest an idea he would just say no

"You know what since you keep rejecting my suggestion, why not do it yourself your the talented one here"

I clean up the mess I made and throw it at the garbage bin

"Where are you going?"

"To the mall" I pick up my bag and walk to the door "oh you have a date,I can't believe someone would actually date you"

"Yeah I'm on a date, a date with my parents" I didn't wait for anything he was going to say and just leave his apartment

I arrive at the mall in about 12 minutes and I saw my parents inside NBS. I went to them and hug them both "hi mom,dad"

They smiled at me and showed me the books they wanna buy "I didn't know you guys read fantasy books"

"Oh it's our favorite genre in a story book" I smiled at them and help them pick out a mice book to read, while I'm getting a few things I need at school I saw someone familiar

"Ian?" He look at me and I was right it was him "hey Ella what are you doing here?" I poimted at my parents "oh so are you looking for anything?"

"I still need some sticky notes and bond paper"

"You still more when your already holding 5 pieces each?" I nodded " I like to stock things so when I'm all out I just get them from the box where I stock it all"

He nodded at me "oh dear who is this?" I didn't notice my mom is right next to me "Hi I'm Ian Rodrigues, Ella's friend from school"

"I'm Beia, Ella's mom" they shake hands "so wanna join us where gonna eat diner at a restaurant"

"No it's ok" Ian said "come on join us" mom persisted, he look at he I just gave him a 'you'll never win' look on my face

"Ok i'll join" mom smiled at him. We payes for everything we bought and went to a restaurant good thung dad made a reservation or else we wouldn't get to eat anything

While eating Ian told us some stories that made us laugh. We keep telling stories until dessert "so Ian is there any special someone for you?" He look shy "yeah their is"

"Oh who is she?" He suddenly look uncomfortable "ahm...it's not a she" I think my mom and dad already know what that mean "it's a he"he look scared

My mom sigh "Ian, don't be scared were not those homophobic parent you see or hear on tv, it's ok if your gay or lesbian as long as you know who you are, that's ok for us"

"Thank you Mrs. Cortez" mom smiled at him "don't be formal just calk me Beia"

" and call me Hank" dad said

"So thus this person like you?"

"He...doesn't know I exist" what? "That means you secretly like him, like you admire him from afar?"he nodded at me

"Aww that's so cute, you should introduce yourself to him"he just shakes his head

We talk more until it's time for us to leave "well Ian were so glad that we run into you and thank you for joining us for diner"

"It's nothing Beia, I should be the one thanking you for treating me to diner and accepting me for who I am"mom nodded at him

We got our separate ways and went home. I took a quick shower before going to bed.

I took my phone and te ted Caleb

How's the painting?any idea yet?"

It took him a simple 2 minutes to answer

It's already done, no need to come here tomorrow -Caleb

I-it's done?how? I didn't even help on anything he did I just bought all tmthe materials

I turn off my phone before sleeping. I let my tiredness take over and eventually fall asleep

Today I'm at the garden sitting on a bench while reading a book

I always like it here, it's breezy, quiet, calm and pieceful, good scenery for reading books

I was so focus on the book when I heard a ding sound

I took out ny phone and saw the same unknown number

Watch your back. Make sure you have your lover boy to save you or else it'll be too easy for me to kill you -unknown

Ok this is not fun anymore. This past few days, this unknown number keep texting me saying that she/he will kill me

I don't remember any enemy for me to recieve something like this

I went back inside the house and I lock the back door. I sat at the couch at the loving room and continue reading my book when I heard gun shots being fired at the house

I quickly juml from the couch and into the floor protecting my head

I heard some glasses being broken also some of mom's vases.

When the gun stop shooting I check to see if anyone was there but theres no one

I run to my room to get my phone and dialed mom's phone number

"Hi dear why did you call?"

"Mom...the house...gun shoots...broken glass...guns" I keep blabbering on the phone "calm down dear tell me slowly

"Mom the house was shoot by gun, I don't know who dis it but it come from the kitchen" the other line went quiet

"Ok dear stay in your room ok lock your window, your door and just stay there were coming home"

"Ok mom" I turn off the calk and did what mom said after that I just sat down on the floor cuddling my knee while still scared

Mom, dad where are you?

******

I wonder who is behind this gun shoots?and who is this lover boy?

Any idea?
