Only you

Chapter 28

Part 28

Dakota's POV

I roll onto my side. I try to fall asleep for almost an hour. I'm alone today because Jamie is with Victor and Luke. They're watching some game on TV. Men.

Anyway I told him that it will be better if he stay for night with them. I don't want him to roam around in the middle of the night. As much as I would like to have him here right now, he deserves to have some time out with his friends.

But I think that he's absence is the reason of my sleeplessness. Well, to be honest I have some company. Zeppelin is now sleeping under the blanket. I smile.

Yeah, he's a quite nice company.

I hug my pillow and close my eyes. Maybe I'll have the chance to sleep. But as soon as I lay my head down horrible noise makes me jump on the bed. In the same second Zep starts barking.

-Shh, boy, calm down-I say patting his head.

I sit up and quickly look around to figure out what just happened. One look at my window is enough. It's broken...for a million pieces.There is a lot of glass...everywhere. And a big stone lying in the middle of my room.

Matt...

Who else could it be ? In the middle of the night ? Tears start to run down my cheeks. Why me ? What have I done to deserve all off this ?

Suddenly I start to feel really uncomfortable fear. Does he know I'm here alone ? He's somewhere out there for sure...Will he want to come here, or was it just a warning...

I'm afraid of getting up now, of moving...Maybe I should call Jamie. I don't want to make him worried again, but I can't be alone right now. I'm too afraid.

I reach for my phone and write down well-known number. One signal, two...

Come on, pick up.

-Dakota ?-I hear his full of surprise voice-It's past midnight, you should sleep.

-I know, but...

I'm interrupt by Luke and Victor voices. I guess they are really exciting about the game.

-Wait a minute, baby-he turns his attention to them-Guys, could you shut up for a second ?

Immediately there's silence. He's having considerable influence to people.

-Okay, you can talk now-his warm voice is back.

-Umm...Could you go somewhere more private, I don't want them to hear this.

I don't want anyone to know about it. I even shouldn't have told that to Jamie, it's really too complicated.

-Sure-I hear that's going somewhere, probably out.

In the same time, carefuly I get up and make my way to the window. I look out. There's no sign of Matt, no sign of anyone...It's even more scared. I hear that Jamie is closing some door.

-What is it ?-he asks.I take a deep breath.

How should I tell him about previous situation without making him worried ?

-I don't want to disturb you...-I try really hard to stop my snobs.

-Baby, are you okay ?-he already knows that something happened.

You know me so well, Jamie...

Suddenly I'm broken too. Just like the window. I don't know what to say, how to react...Nothing...I start to cry. I can't take it anymore.
