If Hell were any Closer

Nikki’s POV:

“Alex? I need you,” I whisper in a hushed tone, not wanting to draw attention to myself.

Andy left over an hour ago, and has since to return. I started to worry, and just when I was going to call his cell phone, his roommate returned, drunk and or high as well.
Even though I used to go to school with Danny, he had never once been hostile or violent towards well, anyone! He was always somewhat shy around new people, but of course I knew the stories of how he would get rowdy and wild at parties. I also was aware that he was a stoner and a bit alcohol crazed even at eighteen.

While we had never once socialized together, I heeded the warnings of basically anyone, and did my best to stray from him, especially when he was up in the clouds. But now, I was stuck with him, alone in a rather isolated apartment, late at night to add to my situation.

Fucking fantastic.

I mean; I seriously could not catch a break, could I? First the random intrusion at my house not even a week ago, then Andy’s psycho roommate comes home drunk off his ass and starts to harass me? I don’t think so bud.

I had moved quickly, practically sprinting to Andy and I’s room and immediately locking the door as well as shoving the rather heavy dresser in front of the door.

Yes, I know I am possibly overreacting just a little bit, but think about it. A drunken person, who you know to be a bit of a wild one when under the influence, is alone with you, a much weaker person. I think I am in the perfect mindset right about now. I mean, at least I’m not screeching like a banshee and calling the police.

I hastily moved around the room, first checking to make sure that I had my purse and cell phone in case Andy called or I needed to call him. I probably should’ve called him by now, but do in really want to come across as needy and whiney girlfriend when I could simply just be overreacting? Hell to the no.

So I weighed my options: hiding in Andy’s bedroom like a pathetic coward until Andy came to the rescue and explained to me that I was simple overreacting, or I could try and escape (also like a coward…) and finally, I could go out there and figure out what was wrong with Danny and move on from there.

Notes

Okay guys, I know it was short, but I have an idea for a book three!!!! And it is honestly nothing that i have ever considered before until today so yay!!!!!

also, who thinks that Nikki is overreacting? who thinks that she should've stayed in the bedroom? and finally, who guesses that something horribly awful will happen next chapter??
