The music lyrics pounded in my eyes very loudly as I danced to the song.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I shall die before I 'wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize
I've tasted blood and it is sweet
I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet
I've trusted lies and trusted men
Broke down and put myself back together again
Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters
Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger
I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers
And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors
"Come on, little lady, give us a smile"
No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about
I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize
I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth
And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe
I've been polite, but won't be caught dead
Lettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bed
Keep my exes in check in my basement
'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent
I could play nice or I could be a bully
I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
"Come on, little lady, give us a smile"
No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about
I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize
Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware, yeah
Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize
I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

I was in my bedroom listening to my favourite song. Once it came to an end I removed my headphones and placed them on the bed.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAGKkRsdBBVE
I heard a car pulling out outside.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAawMfwb3QKb
It must be the new neighbors.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA04zFPHUcBo
I peeked on the window and indeed there was a car parked outside a few yards from my house.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAfmIGMLQWNh
My best friend Lisa used to stay there but unfortunately her family moved to Germany. I missed her.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAscpm4u5iWy
A woman with dark hair emerged from the car scolding a teenage girl with blond gold hair. Something caught my eye; it was his blue eyes that I constantly dreamt of.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAjFevQ0AucV
Spying on the new neighbors was very childish and rude. The guy I was staring at saw me and he frowned. I quickly hid behind the curtains.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAjnFCNDmgwZ
My face flushed with embarrassment.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAPEzzWsrEQn
"Oh no he definitely saw me looking" I whispered softly.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAhFR9aT13Si
He caught me looking at him like some stalker I sat on my bed scolding myself.
Spying on the new neighbors was definitely a bad idea.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAaWGp4pCXgp
I don't think I'll leave this room today facing the new neighbors is going to be awkward.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA3jsy6zI6pw
I slumped on the bed and a high pitched giggle escaped my lips. I could hear Bingo barking outside my door.

Hayden Willford frowned. Those brown eyes staring at him looked so familiar he just couldn't say her name it brought back too much pain.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAAvkPkMSXTj
He shrugged carelessly.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAZuLZcCZcVr
It must be just my imagination he thought to himself. But the strange feeling didn't leave it felt like she was close.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAGhIOtmQVZV
I looked up the window and she was gone.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAT9saguXUAP
A little girl clung to his leg like a magnet.
He looked down and a smile curved his lips.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAfxKa8ebucU
Theodora grins when her father picks her up.
74Please respect copyright.PENANABFVzwATlWt
"What's up princess" he muttered quietly and tickles her Theodora squeals excitedly.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAgawQ3QcIgG
"Daddy I'm hungry" she says softly and pouts her lips.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAippJU9eekK
"Hmmm I see. Let's go inside and I'll make you a sandwich."
74Please respect copyright.PENANAjehYQrxWgL
Theodora nodded as they went inside the house.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAwH3jRHyMRe
Hayden Willford was a young man in his late twenties. He was muscular and tall in height. He had very dark hair and a rare shade of blue eyes.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAXvLqxiz2Dq
Mostly his life has been full of ups and downs. Ever since he lost his wife Azalea he has never been the same.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAsUxeqwpevz
He was shattered and heartbroken.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAtogwkNLJ0g
His family consists of his mother,father,his sister and daughter Theodora who is just six years old.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAhUhii2wNXR
His family never lives in one place for a long time because his dark past always ruins their soon found happiness.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAIGsPUdOX2q
Sometimes he blamed himself for all their problems all because he married a human.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAlgkCdos5Qm
It was on a Saturday morning when it all began.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAcxD0BkTw7H
The sunlight made the room brighter than usual. Elizabeth groaned in response when she felt something tugging her bed sheets.
74Please respect copyright.PENANASaVCDBPzhF
"Bingo...not now boy!" She yells and pulls the bed sheets tightly. But the little husky jumped on the bed and licks her face.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAGuBGUWj92V
Elizabeth giggles and wipes her face as little Bingo wags his small tail happily.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAd9pxe51vwO
She sat upright.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAe09LB8CNaz
"I don't appreciate being woken up by doggy drool".
74Please respect copyright.PENANAYcZgHWkbxZ
Bingo barked.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAmPK2nfk5cW
And she gave him a pat on the head and went to have a shower.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAHcUee2gFu2
Twenty minutes later it was done. She was dressed in a pair of black jeans and a denim shirt. She tied her brown hair in a messy bun and went downstairs to have breakfast with her mother.

I've been avoiding the family next door and so far it's been a week and I haven't felt awakened yet.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAbG1aCoMuE9
"Good morning dear" mom chirped happily as I pulled my seat.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAlIBWVj03kS
" Good morning mom" I said quietly while I poured some milk in my monster themed cereal.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAy4iA7yIaia
"You can taste the monster" I muttered coolly as I read the cereal box.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ7BYuhIZY
Mom sighed deeply.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gtz0p8xQU
" Elizabeth dear I'm making a peach pie to welcome our neighbors. I've been so busy with work that I forget to say hi. When it's ready please take it to them on my behalf."
74Please respect copyright.PENANAnHaBjk3qZ6
I dropped my spoon in shock and gaped at my mom.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAROG0IC4NZa
Oh no this is the least thing I wanted to do right now I've been avoiding them all week it's like mom is doing this on purpose.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAjkdjILe44b
I counted one to ten as I took a deep breath to calm myself.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAjGKDrVA4LJ
"But mom..." I said whine and frown but instead of scolding me mom kisses me on my forehead.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAgTChmSAqah
She was the best mom I could ever ask for.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAOfeS3i9CIY
"I love you lizzy" she says softly.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAWpajSbyXnX
I sigh deeply.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAMlCBUftM3a
"I love you too mom."
74Please respect copyright.PENANAs0qyY4Dnu6
She smiled and left for work .
74Please respect copyright.PENANAvfpHoyy7Sh
Once I was done with breakfast I stared at the pie in the oven like it was my worst enemy.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAdl5ExuTuL4
This meant war and I wasn't going down without a fight. My hips swayed to the song that was playing on my mp3 player.

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Love's my religion but he was my faith
Something so sacred so hard to replace
Fallin' for him was like fallin' from grace
All wrapped in one he was so many sins
Would have done anything, everything for him
And if you ask me I would do it again
No need to imagine
'Cause I know it's true
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
It's automatic
It's just what they do
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
You don't realize the power they have
Until they leave you and you want them back
Nothing in this world prepares you for that
I'm not ashamed that he wasn't the one
Had no idea what we would become
There's no regrets I just thought it was fun
No need to imagine
'Cause I know it's true
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
It's automatic
It's just what they do
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I still remember the moment we met
The touch that he planted, the garden he left
I guess the rain was just half that effect
No need to imagine
'Cause I know it's true
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
It's automatic
It's just what they do
They say, "All good boys go to heaven"
But bad boys bring heaven to you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

An hour later I placed the pie on the counter and it was ready.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAJOIefivyOg
I went upstairs to my bedroom and wrapped a scarf around my neck and only my eyes and nose were visible.
Once I was satisfied with my look I went downstairs.
74Please respect copyright.PENANASIfFMtapeF
He wouldn't recognize.
74Please respect copyright.PENANANJ6XChq86v
Five minutes later I was ringing the doorbell. I heard footsteps and I felt suddenly nervous.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA7hnMkLgorn
The guy I was stalking opened the door shirtless wearing grey sweatpants that clung to his hips and exposed his torso.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAVoL5gQQZoM
Oh my.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAnjxNU4Z9oq
Our eyes locked in a frenzy before he could open his mouth. I blinked and shoved the pie and note into his hands.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAwMEMVLqac1
I quickly ran back home. I swear I've never ran so fast in my entire life. My heart was thumping wildly in my chest as I took off the scarf.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAyTEf5WJ6kQ
Wow he was hot.
