vii
I couldn't sleep all night. I knew that something was going on in Lucius' house. How could I sleep when I knew that something was going on right next door to me and I can't do anything about it?
I stayed in my bed for the entire day. It was a Saturday so I didn't miss another day of work. I occasionally had to get off of my bed to either get some food or to go to the bathroom, which I did quicker than usual. I didn't feel safe at all. I felt like a five year old who is scared of the dark, so she keeps herself cuddled with her blanket on her bed.
I couldn't watch any movies or shows, my mind wouldn't think about anything else but the fact that my neighbour is doing something shady. At least to me this was a fact.
I went to the kitchen to drink water and heard my doorbell ring. The sudden sound startled me and as an involuntary response, I left the glass and let it shatter in front of my feet. My hand were shaking and my heart was pounding so loud it was the only thing I could hear.
I carefully walked around the broken glass pieces and looked through the peep hole of my main door. Lucius was standing on the other side.
"What do you want?!" I yelled even though I didn't mean to.
"Maya, we need to talk." He said firmly.
"I'm not opening the door." I said.
I heard some jiggling sound and then a click. Lucius opened the door and walked in.
"What the... HOW DO YOU HAVE MY KEY?"
"I don't" he said calmly.
"Safety pins actually work" he said as he pinned his shirt where a button was missing with a safety pin.
"This is insane. Get out of my home!" I yelled, pointing at the door.
"Like I said, we need to talk." He repeated and closed my main door with the two of us alone in my home.
