He stood and lifted my chin, “You’re better off not knowing.”

“Are you hiding from the police or something?”

“You would just be safer not knowing.”

“I can take care of myself.” I said smacking his hand away, “ You should go to sleep.” I turned away and went to my room.

“ My names Liam.” he said.

“Hannah.” I said as I closed my room door.

He was a strange person. My only question now was a hard one. Where did he come from. He had a seven inch cut on his arm and he broke my window. That window was made out of Plexi-Glass. He shouldn’t have been able to break it.

I sat on my bed and saw James car pull up into my driveway. Oh no! I swung my room door open and saw the stranger was asleep on the couch. Wait. Why was I being so frantic right now? I’d just tell James the truth.

A knock came to the door and I slowly went to pen it. James was standing there smiling like a big idiot. Then he saw the shirtless stranger on my couch and got angry in a matter of seconds. He pushed past me and I ran after him after the fear went through my body. He didn’t need to become violent.

“No James!” I shouted.

The stranger sat up and James punched him, “Why are YOU in my girlfriends house!?”

Oh my goodness! “Stop it James!” I said as I helped the man up, “He was injured so I helped him and made him stay. You don’t need to act this way.” He knows I’m always willing to help people.

He stepped back, “S-sorry Hannah.

“You have no right to act like this anyways.”

“What?” he went stiff.

“We need to break up. I think me and you would be better as friends.” Where did all of this courage come from?! “I know about her.” I was fighting tears now. “So let’s just be friends.”

He looked at me with half-hearted smile, “I’m sorry, Hannah.”

“I’m fine. If you’re happy then I’m okay. You’ve taken care of me for long enough. So you go and be in love. Your happiness is important to me.”

He hugged me, “Can we be friends?” that was a good question.

“Of course you idiot. Now get out of my house.”

“I still don’t trust him.”

“He’s fine, just go.” He hugged me again and left.

I sighed and sat down in front of the door. I was able to let him go. but where did all of that courage come from?I pulled my knees to my chest and looked at Liam. He was angry from being punched in the face. I could see him shaking.

But something was strange about him. I moved to help him sit down. That’s when I noticed the other scratches and scars on his body. When he looked into my eyes, I could see him easing up and calming down.

Why did he look at me like that? Like I was someone who was very valuable to him right now. I looked away and redressed his wound before going to bed for the night. But I couldn’t sleep at all. I kept thinking about him for some reason. I began to feel a strange sexual need for him as I thought about him.

I tossed and turned in my covers, groaning in pain because I did not have his touch. This strange man had monopolized me somehow. I climbed out of my bed and went into the living room. He sat up from watching TV and I touched his cheek gently. My body began to act on its own craving for him. I sat on his lap with one leg on either side of him. He tangled his hand in my hair and pulled me into a kiss.

My hands were on his chest and slid up into his shaggy brown and black hair slowly. He pulled me back and I was out of breath. As I looked into his eyes I could see that he was going to leave me.

“Why must you leave?” I asked out of nowhere.

He smiled as he caressed my cheek, “I never expected to meet you in the first place.”

“You can’t. I won’t let-” He silenced me with a passionate kiss.

“I’ll come back for you.”

I nodded as he picked me up in one arm and carried me to my bedroom. He laid down next to me and pulled me tightly into his chest. He would come back to me, wouldn’t he? Why did I feel the need to have him in my life forever? What was this man to me?

He made me face him and he smiled, “ I’ll explain everything to you when I come back.”

I nodded, “So you’re leaving now?”

“No. First you must go to sleep.”

I burrowed my face in his chest and closed my eyes. “You better come back.” I made it a demand and soon I was drifting off to sleep.

Of course when I woke up Saturday morning, he was gone, but he left me a note. He’s going to come back to me when he comes back to Georgia. Then he will take m with him when he leaves.

  It’s been a year since he left and my high school life is now over. I’ve been waiting for him to come back. He said that he’d come back but he hasn’t come yet. I can still feel his arms around me. But I don’t know how long I can wait for someone I only know the name of.   

 I just woke up and he was gone last year. My window was fixed so it was like he was never there but I know he was. He seemed like an illusion my mind created of the perfect man that I thought I needed in my life.  

  I sat up on my bed and looked out my bedroom window at the ever so beautiful full moon. It seemed extra beautiful tonight so I got up and sat on the window ledge and continued to look at it. The moon suites him so much. Like a big mystery with light, darkness, and shadows.   

 James still comes around every once in awhile too. He thinks I’m over thinking my situation with Liam. He thinks Liam is toying with me and that I should reconsider letting him into my life. But I can’t because it feels so good letting him into my life and it feels right. I opened my window and let the cool summer night breeze hit my face. A sigh escaped my lips and I saw a dark figure outside.

   I squinted my eyes to see what it was but it didn’t help much. I gave up and closed my window and the curtains. I went to get a snack from the kitchen since I  was having trouble sleeping. Since school was over and community college didn’t take over most of my schedule I was always bored and restless. Always bored these days. James still spends most of his time with his girlfriend so I’m more alone now.

   I sat in a chair and ate some fruit snacks as I watched some TV. Could my life be any more boring? I think I sat there watching soap operas and eating fruit snacks for about 4 hours. Maybe I should go out. I got up and went in my room to put on some outdoor clothes. I sighed after putting my shoes on and slid them back off.  

  I’m so bored right now. I laid on my bed and went through my contacts. I really needed some new friends who liked to go out and party so I would never be bored.

   I tossed my phone on the nightstand and rolled over. As I went into deep thought my eyelids went down and I drifted off to sleep. I was finally able to get some sleep while I was alone. I dreamed of him. The stranger who came into my life and left like the wind. He wasn’t human in my dream but he did come for me.    But I also saw one of my old foster dads. He raped and beat me for two entire years. He came back for me as well. He wanted me all to himself and it scared me so much.   

 I woke up screaming and someone came bursting through the window. I jumped up i fear of them. Two strangers who looked around the room like they were searching for an intruder. But aren’t they the ones intruding? I backed against the headboard of my bed and they saw that I was just having a nightmare.    

“Damn it’s a false alarm. Come on Emma.” the guy said to the girl.   

 She stared at me with angry eyes, “Let’s go.”   

 I stood quickly but fell, “Wait! Who are you?!”  

They turned to stare at me and laughed. Was it really that funny to come into my house, break my window, and leave? I stood up and crossed my arms until they stopped laughing. The girl stepped forward and looked into my eyes.   

 “I seriously don’t see what Alpha sees in you. He has us protecting a weak human girl.” she said leaning closer.    

The guy grabbed her arm, “Emma!” she looked at him, “He doesn’t want her to know yet.”    

She growled, “Fine!” and she jumped out the window.   

 The guy sighed, “Sorry, she gets a little SKITTISH.”  

  “Who are you people?” I asked.   

 He faced me completely, “Sorry but I’m under orders not to tell you anything.    

Orders from who? I nodded and let him leave but I just couldn’t go back to sleep. I cleaned the glass from my window and sat at my desk. Who would send someone to watch me 24 hours a day? I combed my fingers through my hair in frustration.  

  “I believe I left you sleeping in peace.” a voice said.  

  I looked around but no one was there. I just heard his voice in my head. I sighed and pulled my knees to my chest and put my face in them. He wouldn’t want me to be acting like this. Moping around. I met him only once but it feels like I’ve known him my entire life.  

  I got up and laid on my bed. I need to cheer up and go out and have fun tomorrow. I closed my eyes again and after what seemed like hours I dozed off to sleep once again. He was still on my mind but the nightmares were gone.
