The Masked Stranger

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

It was lunch and so I went to mine and Gen's table when I was met by none other than Lewis, who by the way had paint all over himself, which is odd because he has no art classes. 

"Hey Jay, how are you?" Lewis greeted me. 

Suddenly I felt a weird tingling feeling inside me, so naturally, I left Lewis alone in the lunchroom hanging without greeting him back.

As I started walking out of the lunchroom and went down the hall and saw the principal talking to someone, and me being me I did what any suspicious student would do I hid in a locker. I know I know, smart move especially when I realized I couldn't get out, s**t, they heard me shimmy the locker. Well, I'm screwed. When I found the locker door open I saw none other than the man from last night in the alley, the one who pushed me into the car except this time I could see his eyes, they were a light blue and when he noticed I was staring at his eyes a smirk appeared on his face, is it bad I found him attractive probably, do I care, no, not really. Then the principal started talking. 

"Miss Jensen I hope you have a good reason for being in a locker." He said in a stern voice but sounded really annoying to me. Naturally, my only response is to lie.

"Would you believe me if I told you someone shoved me in there," I asked 

"No," he replied. Well, s**t I thought to myself how am I gonna get out of this one.

"Well, you see it's a funny story actually," I told him while I was trying to find something to blame it on, then it hit me to blame Lewis. He stuck me with his pig for the whole summer, he deserves this.

"It was all Lewis's Jacobs fault," I said then I quickly sprinted down the hall to the cafeteria and hid amongst the crowd. 

Then I saw Gen sitting next to Zachary and I walked over to them and sat down. Suddenly I saw the principal and then ducked under the table.

When I came back out from under the table I saw all my friends looking at me funny and with confused looks. 

"Why" that was all Gen could muster up out of her mouth.

When lunch was over I started heading back to class, when someone pulled me into the janitor's closet. That is when a pair of lips came crashing down on my own and it felt good, no it felt amazing so naturally, my reaction was to push whoever it was off of me. When I did just that I looked up to see the guy who had been talking to the principal who I also saw last night. Yes, I have met him twice, and I still don't know his name is that sad or what.

Suddenly before I even knew what he was doing I fell into his arms and failed to see or hear anything. 

*****

When I woke up I found myself on a very comfortable bed that I knew was not my own, because my parents would never let me sleep on something so comfy why, because they hate me. 

After a minute or two I opened my eyes and started to stand up, but before I could I heard the door open and it was that same man yet again and I still don't know his name. 

"Good you're awake." He said in a kind of relieved tone.

"Where am I, and who are you," I asked.

"Relax one question at a time please." He told me. 

"Okay tell me your name," I said to him.

"My name is James." He said in a soft tone that I found extremely comforting.

"Okay, where am I," I ask, still slightly uneasy.

"You are safe, that's all you need to know for now." He tells me 

"Why am I here?" I asked, but this time he doesn't respond, he looks like he is daydreaming or something like that.

"I will be right back," James says while heading towards the door. 

As he left I did what I felt was natural and looked for an escape route. I got up from the bed and started exploring the bedroom. I open the door and it leads to the bathroom that I enter. The counter on the sink is made of granite, which if I'm being honest I really love this bathroom I look to the shower and notice It is a waterfall shower, then I turn my head slightly to discover the bathtub it was long and very pretty it was old fashioned and wasn't hooked onto a wall it unlike most had feet to keep it off of the floor, but instead of a white tub, it was a very dark blue on the outside I absolutely loved this bathroom.

Honestly, I think I'm in love with this bathroom.

I turn and walk out of the bathroom and open the door on the other side of the bed and when I do I see a huge walk-in closet. 

Seriously, why does everything in this house have to be what I would put in my dream house ugh. I hate it when people torture me like this. 

When I leave that room I walk over to the glass doors in the room that I know lead to outside. I open them lightly as if I would break them, which I very well easily could. After I open the doors I find myself on a balcony with the most amazing view of the forest and of the sun setting I absolutely love this house, but I, unfortunately, don't live here, if I did I probably would have much better parents then I currently do.

I then heard the door open. It was James with a plate of food, the food consisted of bread, turkey and pepper jack cheese, plus some pickles off to the side. I looked at the food and stepped back. 

"I'm not going to hurt you," James said with a worried look on his face.

"It's not you," I say looking at him. 

"It's just" I stop for a second and start sneezing. When I finally stop I finish my sentence. "I'm allergic to pickles," I tell him then I start sneezing uncontrollably.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry I probably should have asked if you had any allergies before I..." I stopped him with my sneezing. He took the plate and left the room and when he came back he came over to me.

"Can I go home now?" I ask.

"One question first." He asks, then I nod my head. 

"How old are you beautiful." He asks me.

"You know it's very rude to ask a woman how old she is," I notice the tenses up and then I say. "Relax I was just messing with you, I'm almost 18," I tell him then he smiles at me.

We walk out the door and down the stairs to then I keep following him until we reach a garage. He grabbed the keys to a blue 1973 Dodge Dart swinger. 

****

Soon we reached my house and I opened the door and got out.

"Wait," he says.

"Yeah," I ask.

"I never got your name." He says while rubbing his neck lightly. 

"Jade my name is Jade," I tell him through the window then run into the house

As soon as I got into the house I saw glass all over the floor shattered and I noticed the t.v. had a huge c***k in it. Then I walk into the kitchen and see blood so I walk towards it a little and see my mother laying there lifeless and next to her is my father with a bullet in between both his eyes blood still seeping out of his head, but my mom had a kitchen knife straight through her heart. Before I even turn around a hand comes over my mouth.
