I was running. Running faster than I ever had in my entire life. He was coming after me again. He was gonna kill me. I had to run, I just had to. Then it happened. I tripped. He caught up to me. It was my brother, but it wasn't him. His eyes were blood red and his teeth were sharp. He held the knife against my skin. When I cried out, he said it. "It's all your fault, it's all your fault...."

I woke up to Jake shaking me, telling me it wasn't real. I just broke down crying. He held me close, telling me it's ok, calm down, it wasn't real. I kept crying. I felt Jake wiping my tears away, telling me I'll be ok. Finally I stopped crying. I looked up at Jake. "Thank you. Thank you so much." is all I said. He continued to hold me close, like he was afraid to lose me. I felt safe. But there was something I needed. "Can you grab my phone and headphones?" I asked. He nodded and got up to get them. A couple seconds later, he returned. After unlocking my phone, first I turned off my alarm (I was not letting him hear that) and then scrolled through my music, trying to find a good song. He took an earbud, then played Shadows Die. I smiled at the selection and snuggled against him again. It felt right. It felt... amazing.

I woke up right around the time I usually do. I saw that Jake wasn't awake, so I got out of bed as carefully as I could. He looked so peaceful when he slept. Good god, I think I was falling for him. Well, I needed to shower, so I quickly chose my favorite outfit and went to the bathroom. After finishing my morning routine, leaving my hair natural again, I got dressed. I put on black distressed shorts and my favorite shirt. It was pink with a cartoon cat on it, very girly looking, but at the bottom it said "GO TO HELL" in bubble letters. I pulled on a leather jacket over it and walked out of the bathroom.

I saw Jake was awake, sitting on his phone texting someone, probably one of the band members. I cleared my throat to let him know I was there. He turned around, took one look at my shirt, and chuckled. "What? Is there something wrong with my outfit?" I playfully asked him. "No it's great. I love it." he said smiling. God he had an amazing smile. I felt myself start to blush again. He came towards me and hugged me. Well that was unexpected. I still accepted it. He made me feel safe, secure, wanted. He pulled away and started talking.

"Look, I just talked to the rest of the band and they're dying to meet you. How would you feel if we all came to hang out later?" I looked up at him, meeting his eyes. "Uhm, hell yeah! I don't think I have more than one appointment today, so my manager should be fine with it. Is anyone getting a tattoo?" I jokingly asked. He laughed. "Maybe CC, most likely Andy, and Ashley will just try to seduce you." he said. Wow, tattooing two members of my favorite band. No biggie. "I think I can handle Ashley. Oh, and can you do a favor?" He nodded. "Try not to mention my scars. I want them to find out themselves." He though about it, then agreed. "Thanks. Here's my number, text me when you're on your way." I said. I offered to drive him back, and he agreed. After dropping him off, I drove to work.

This is going to be an interesting day.
