KILLER EYES

CHAPTER 3

I woke up this morning and realized Jasper wasn't lying next to me. I sat up on the couch and figured that Jasper was making breakfast. I could smell the delicious food all the way to my bedroom. Jasper was really good at cooking, you could say he's perfect husband material. I made my way to the kitchen where I found Jasper making eggs and bacon. I watched him carefully, admiring his every move. He loved cooking, it was always his passion. Every time I was sick Jasper would make me soup and take care of me as if I was his little sister. I am so thankful I have him in my life.

Maybe I was looking at him for too long to realize him staring at me with the biggest smile.

„Good morning princess" he said.

„Good morning" I smiled.

You are probably wondering why he gave this nickname. It's quite simple, when we were younger we always played prince's and princesses. We had our own kingdom made out of pillows and blankets. We even went as far as making fake rings out of wood and paper, promising each other that we would stay together forever. I remember the stuffed animals in my room being the guests at our wedding. It's interesting how kids minds work. This memory is one of my favorites. It will stay in my heart for a very long time.

„It looks like you are having a good morning" Jasper said while looking at me.

„It's always good when I'm with you" I said with a smile on my face.

I didn't even realize I was smiling from ear to ear. Every time I think of a memory with him I have to smile because I'm so happy to have him by my side. He's always there when I need him.

„It smells so good here, my stomach is already rumbling" my mom said while walking down the stairs.

She was half asleep, but it looks like the smell of good food woke her up pretty quickly. Yesterday Jasper and I fell asleep and I didn't even notice when my mom came home.

„Good morning mom" I said.

„Good morning Mrs. Smith" he said.

„Good morning kids" she said with a smile on her face. She was fixing her hair while walking towards us because she looked like she got dragged through a forest.

My mom and Jasper were always close and never had a problem with each other. I mean she even trust's him more than me.

„When did you get home yesterday? I didn't hear you unlocking the door" I asked while prepping the table.

„I think around 10 p.m, I'm not sure though. I was fairly surprised when I saw you too cuddling together on the couch'' She said laughing.

„Mom it's not what you think..." I tried ridding her of the thoughts she had in her head right now. I know she thinks Jasper and I are more than friends, but it's not like that.

„I took some photos of you guys while you were sleeping, you look so cute in them! You guys grew up too fast, it makes my heartache seeing you so big" she said with a sad look on her face.

„You took photos of us sleeping?" I asked with an angry tone.

„I mean you were so cute I have to document how my daughter and her best friend are growing up" she said. The way she said the word best friend didn't sound too convincing.

I sighed.

„Delete them please" I said with a serious voice.

„They are memories Ria" she said with a cute facial expression. It was as if she was begging me to not make her delete it.

„So how about we eat finally" Jasper said and started dishing up food for us. That was his attempt to stop my mom and I from talking about it any longer.

„I'll send them to you later" she whispered to Jasper, but I heard it.

„That would be great" he smiled.

„I can hear you!!!" I said with an angry voice. The two of them just laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast Jasper and I sat on the couch and turned on the TV.

„I'm leaving" my mom said and smiled at us.

„Have a nice day and be careful" we said and waved at her.

I only see my mom early in the morning or late at night. As I said, she's very busy with work and isn't at home very often. I'm either all alone or with Jasper.

„Are you going to work today?" he asked.

„No, because of the murder they probably closed the whole street" I said as goosebumps and fear covered my whole body.

„At least you'll have some time for yourself" he said with a smile.

I nodded.

„I should get going my mom isn't going to be happy if I'm late. Will you be okay alone?" he said with a sad look on his face. I could tell he didn't want to leave. Jasper's mom and I don't have a good relationship. I don't really know why she hates me so much, but I have a pretty good guess. It's probably because I don't have money or a fancy villa, a fancy car like Jasper's family does. At least that's how she made it seem every time I was at their house. That's why Jasper is usually at my place.

„I'll be fine don't worry, If anything I'll call you" I said with a reassuring voice.

He gave me a kiss on the cheek and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The whole day I sat on the couch and watched movies and shows. Since my mom and Jasper left I feel different. It's not sadness or fear. It's already dark outside and I keep looking around me as if someone was meant to be there. I can't explain the feeling but it's as if someone was watching me.

Okay I think I'm starting to get paranoid. I'm just imagining things that don't make any sense now.

I decide to take a hot bath to calm down. Every time I take a bath I think about all the things that are bothering me.

While the water was filling up my bathtub I grabbed a towel and some clothes to change into.

When the bathtub was filled up I climbed in. It took some time for my body to get used to the hot water but I felt like all my worries vanished. I felt good, free.

I closed my eyes and all I could see was the man I saw that night. I quickly opened my eyes, my heart started beating so fast. I moved so fast that the water in my bathtub splashed out.

I placed my knees to my chest and hugged my body that was shaking uncontrollably. Soon after that tears started streaming down my face. I'm not the type of person to cry often, but this memory really got to me. I was cold even tho the water was boiling hot.

I make myself sick... I could've helped that poor man, I could've shouted for help or called the police. But in that moment I couldn't move at all. I couldn't even think of anything else in that moment other than how I'm going to die. I know it's heartless of me, only caring about myself and not about the person who got killed right in front of my eyes.

I have to say something. I can't stay quiet...he could kill more innocent people just because I didn't say anything. Because of the anger I felt I hit the water with my fist and more water splashed out of the bathtub onto the floor.

„You look very cute so do me a favor and don't tell anyone what you saw here okay? If you do I will find you and kill you got it ? I would gladly like to see you beg for your life"

His words replayed in my head over and over again. I didn't know what to do. Do I risk getting myself killed and leaving everything behind? But if they catch him that means I saved innocent peoples lives. I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk my life and leave Jasper and my mom alone. Doesn't that make me selfish?

Frustrated and scared I got out of the bathtub, wrapping a towel around my body.

I kept thinking about what to tell the police. One wrong move and I could be risking my life and the lives of others.

I put on my pajamas and lied down onto my bed. I looked up at the ceiling. I felt dead inside. I tried thinking about something but I couldn't. I didn't have the energy for it. I was so tired my eyes started closing until I fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My alarm started going off, I can't be the only one that hates the sound. I hate waking up in the morning. The only other thing I hate apart from waking up early is the spoiled brats in our school. Just thinking about seeing them at school today makes me want to barf.

I packed my school stuff into my bag and walked downstairs. I saw my mom sleeping on the couch so I smiled. I could see she was exhausted from working. I didn't want to wake her up by making breakfast so I decide to go without breakfast today. At least I can be early at school today so I could prepare for the first lesson. I slowly opened the front door and closed it as quietly as possible.

The walk to school was only 20 minutes long which was not that bad. I like going for walks it helps me clear my mind. I loved the fresh air. It looks as though it's going to rain today, but I wasn't complaining. I love the rain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was almost at school and I looked around to see if any other students were around. Of course they weren't. What else was I expecting, I mean this school only cares about money.

As I was walking I noticed a black car that was slowly following me. When I looked behind me at the car I saw an old man through the windshield looking at me.

A million different thoughts flooded my mind. Am I going to die? Will he kidnap me?

I looked in every direction possible hoping I would see at least one person. Unfortunately nobody was around.

I slowly started to pick up my pace. My heart was beating fast and I was holding back tears.

„Excuse me miss...would you be so kind and tell how to get to the center of town?" the man shouted from his car window.

I stopped and let out a relieved sigh. My heartbeat slowed down back to normal. I looked at the man sitting in the car with a smile on his face.

I showed him how to get to the center of town. He thanked me and drove off.

I am starting to feel paranoid and crazy. I feel like I'm going insane. This is not me! I can't be afraid of everything around me... or can I?

„Ughhh" I didn't even realize how loud I said that.

„Looks like somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed today" he said.

When I turned around Jasper was standing behind me, laughing his lungs out.

„Don't laugh" I said with a cold tone.

„I'm sorry but you were so cute" he said and patted me on the head.

„By the way why are you so early?" I asked

„Because you didn't call me. I was worried so I quickly went to school hoping you would be here" he said and squeezed my cheek with a smile on his face.

„Well, well look who it is. Haven't seen you in awhile Alexandria" she said. I could recognize that voice from a mile away.

The voice belongs to Chloe. The person who makes my life a living hell at school. We've been in the same class since freshman year. Chloe has been gone for a month now. She was in Hawaii with her rich daddy of course. He buys her anything she wants. She makes me sick. Of course she has a free pass from school since her daddy pays the school to keep her there. I guess when you have money you can do whatever you want.

The only problem is that she's an even bigger b***h than Rebecca. She's dumber as well of course, but that's to be expected from a spoiled brat like her.

My day couldn't get any worse at this point...
