I sat on my bed, with a slice of pepperoni pizza in my hand. I hadn’t asked for it—Benjamin had it delivered anyway like he was still trying to guilt his way back in. The cheese had gone rubbery. But I didn't care anyway, coz I wasn’t hungry. I wasn’t anything.
Just tired.
There was a knock at the door.
Not gentle, not polite but loud….too loud.
I turned toward it but didn’t speak. Maybe if I stayed still, they’d go away.
Another knock.
I didn’t move.
Just when I gave in and tried to lift the pizza to my mouth—
GBAM!
The door crashed open. I almost screamed, splinters of wood clinging to the broken hinges like snapped bones. My heart almost skipped a beat.
A man stood there.
Tall. Thick. Dressed in black like a shadow that had stepped out of my nightmares.
I blinked.
