Loss of Time

Jumping behind a bush, I realized my murderer had set the trap. How could Alex have known what bush I was going to jump behind? This wasn't fair! Why should I have to deal with a murderer at the age of fourteen? I didn't even know how I made Alex mad, so why would he try to kill me?! Let me start from the beginning...

I was walking to school on Thursday with my two best friends, Allen and Mary. We have known each other since preschool, and have been friends ever since. Well Alex doesn't really like Allen so they just avoid each other. When I was about to walk in to English class Alex stopped me in the hallway and said, "Watch your back." Creepy, right? At this point I was tired and ready to go home so I just mumbled, "Sure, whatever." I should have listened.

The next day Alex said the same thing to me, but this time Allen was with me so he was like, "Back off, jerk!"

"Make me!" exclaimed Alex.

After this conversation, I pulled Allen inside right before the bell rang. It wasn't hard because the kid is like a twig! All through English I was thinking about Alex's warning. What if he was planning to hurt me? Why? When school was over I felt like someone was following me, so turned around and looked but there was nothing there! Finally I got home and saw this note taped on my front dooer window.

Lilly, I hope you took my warning and you are sleeping with both eyes open! You'll need it. We will meet again soon... Alex

Now I'm going crazy and I am terrified that Alex wants to hurt me! He is the best at wrestling in gym! That doesn't help me at all in this situation. Luckily tomorrow is Saturday so I won't have to look at him. And you know what, sometimes people are wrong! In this case I was misguided and really out of my mind.

I was watching TV in my living room and I heard a tapping at the window, the creepy thing was my parents were out at party so I was all alone. It was the same window Alex had put the note on! So I walk over and open up the blinds and I see Alex with an axe! I screamed so loud I think the neighbors heard it. As I'm running to the back door, my heart is pounding and I can't stop crying. When I start to run down the street Alex is already there! I quickly run back down the street towards my house and jump behind a bush. he was there too!! Tears are falling down my face like rain from the sky. I look up just in time to see the axe come down...then everything went dark...
