5 Chapter 5

Craé's POV

Today is another day, another BORING day. Well, it's not unusual for me though. Jay is not here too, he's shopping for me and his. I have been wondering about how can he spend his money all the time?!

Bruh, he's like spending here, spending there, and spending everywhere! Is he rich? Or what? He's not even doing anything! He's not even working though. That's kinda cool, but no. We should work hard, to have the things we want. It's not like "easy", it's hard. But it's worth it.

*Tok! Tok!*

I rolled my eyes. "You don't need to knock you know! This is your house!" I said then stood up.

Should I open this? Because you know... maybe it's not him. But... "Who are you first? Answer my question first before I open this door!" I shouted.

"It's me, Jay," the guy answered. I sighed. He does sound like Jay so I opened the door and luckily, he is Jay.

"Oh gosh, I thought you were somebody and---and yeah." I smiled worriedly.

"So you're now worried about me, huh," he smirked.

I laughed sarcastically. "No way!" I looked at the window then sighed. "It's just that I'm worried about that black hoodie guy." I looked at my back where he's standing and then I saw... no one.

I tried to look at my back and the outside of his house but still, I can't see him.

"Look, Jay! If you're trying to prank me, just stop it---AAAAAAAAAH!!!" I screamed when I saw Jay's head hanging around the tree.

I cried then bent my knees. I hissed when I saw the guy wearing a black hoodie. "You moron! Why are you doing this to me?! I've done nothing to you! Do you want me to beg for you or what?! Stop it!" I shouted at him.

"You did this," He said then disappeared.

Then a sudden echo came. "You did this, you did this." they kept saying.

"AAAAAAAH!!!" I screamed. I opened my eyes and then I saw myself in the mirror crying. "Oh, I'm only dreaming.."

"Now I can say that you do like me, Craé." I saw Jay sitting on the couch then chuckled. "Jay, Jay, Jay!" he mimicked my voice then laughed.

"Oh shut up, you should've woken me up. I'm having a nightmare that I thought I'm almost near my death!" I said to him then sighed. "But still, I'm lucky that it's only a nightmare."

"Anyways, good morning your Highness." he bowed then looked at me. "Justice about the blanket you took away from me."

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes. "So what's the breakfast today?" I asked him, I looked at him then rolled my eyes when I saw him staring at me. "I know I'm beautiful but don't stare at me, I might be a model."

"I'm staring at your eyes because it's too puffy right now." he stared at my eyes again like a kid.

I covered his face with my hand then sat on the chair. "I know we don't have any food yet, so I'm gonna get some," I said.

"I'll go with you, you can be in danger."

I chuckled. "Nightmares is enough for me right now, I'm stepping into my dream that I want right now."

"Dream to be with me?" Jay wriggled his eyebrows.

I laughed. "No, I don't know you that much yet."

He frowned. "Fine, anyways, take care. I need to sleep right now, good morning." He yawned.

"K, bye!" I said.

"I think these are enough for us for like two days," I whispered to myself.

Oh, dear Jay, I don't understand how I can stand you for like two days or three? I don't know. He's nice, but he's not my type.

Well, he's a friend only? A no one to me or a helping hand so why do I need to say about my type? Anyways, I don't like him. I'm tired of saying goodbye in the end.

"Oh well," I sighed. Sometimes, being soft-hearted and lovable can be tiring. I'm tired of loving everybody.

And also walking. I sat on the ground then took a sip of my smoothie I bought 8 minutes ago.

"Craé," my forehead creased then when I looked up. I saw Maddie.

I stood up then walked backward. "What are you doing here?!" I asked her angrily.

"Craé... I'm sorry---" I cut her off.

"Sorry?! Your apologies aren't enough! Look, if you're looking for a fight, save it. I don't want to touch you, see you, hear you, feel you, and talk to you." I was about to walk away but she held my hand.

I shook her hand off me. "Don't you dare!"

"You can't run away from me forever! I know I made mistakes, I'm only a human being! And I'm sorry if being a human makes you sad. I just need you to come with me for something, you need to come with me because I'm the only one you should trust right now." she said then she held both of my hands.

"No, you're the one I shouldn't trust. You already lost my trust, don't talk to me anymore." I said coldly then took off her hands on mine.

"Could you just please listen!" she shouted. "I'm not lying!" she looked at her both sides then continued speaking. "We need to hide somewhere far away from here. Some people that are close to you want to kill you and you need to hide," she said quietly.

"What?! Why do they want to kill me? I do nothing wrong with them---" Maddie covered my mouth.

"Shh! Don't be so noisy, they can hear you," she said then uncovered my mouth.

"You're crazy, of course, everybody can hear me because we're in front of a store right now." I rolled my eyes.

"Just listen to me, okay? I need to get you out of here now, because if they saw you alone... they'll gonna kill you."

"I'm not alone, and I can stand for myself. I don't need your assistance or you're sympathies."

Her forehead creased. "Who's with you?" she asked me.

"Why would I tell you? I don't trust you, remember?" I said.

"Just tell me, in this kind of middle of the situation we need to trust each other. It can make us safe."

I rolled my eyes. "Okay fine. But after this, I will kill you." I said. "His name is Jay."

I don't know but is it just me or what that when I mentioned Jay's name she's like shocked to death. Is Jay an actor, model, or what?

"I beg your pardon?"

"Are you deaf, Maddie? I said his name is Jay." I answered.

"This can't be... do you know him for like months already before or after December? What does he look like? Is he tall? Does he live in the forest? Does he----" I cut her off.

"You know what? You're too noisy, stop it. I don't know him that clearly but he's kind."

"Craé... you don't know him for you, but..."

"But what?" I asked her.

"He's your last ex-boyfriend."
