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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAwLzE0B4xei
I heard a car pulling out outside.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAoJtXBObE5W
It must be the new neighbors.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAMzfnLHyM5i
I peeked on the window and indeed there was a car parked outside a few yards from my house.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAnHKuoK6rAQ
My best friend Lisa used to stay there but unfortunately her family moved to Germany. I missed her.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAADj6P5mvg5
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAlrmgBGRZXq
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAsZJODhAGKX
My face flushed with embarrassment.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAbZP8AGVzo5
"Oh no he definitely saw me looking" I whispered softly.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxVjVOdYH3O
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAcjnnEyp92a
I don't think I'll leave this room today facing the new neighbors is going to be awkward.
41Please respect copyright.PENANADtDcgClhCr
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANArofU8eY8JS
He shrugged carelessly.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAWeZRElUDfQ
It must be just my imagination he thought to himself. But the strange feeling didn't leave it felt like she was close.
41Please respect copyright.PENANACY8XK1TrVT
I looked up the window and she was gone.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAsnnT7XygJ0
A little girl clung to his leg like a magnet.
He looked down and a smile curved his lips.
41Please respect copyright.PENANABju62bjnIw
Theodora grins when her father picks her up.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA5w75G2Ahnn
"What's up princess" he muttered quietly and tickles her Theodora squeals excitedly.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAP2kCPHOWKp
"Daddy I'm hungry" she says softly and pouts her lips.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAEd7mWSZzFx
"Hmmm I see. Let's go inside and I'll make you a sandwich."
41Please respect copyright.PENANAkec2T2yrS4
Theodora nodded as they went inside the house.
41Please respect copyright.PENANARZZO27VQo7
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAUPOVILke0k
Mostly his life has been full of ups and downs. Ever since he lost his wife Azalea he has never been the same.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAWDgLmEcfdM
He was shattered and heartbroken.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA6KPMnmQIjU
His family consists of his mother,father,his sister and daughter Theodora who is just six years old.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAnQPYhaGY8l
His family never lives in one place for a long time because his dark past always ruins their soon found happiness.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAkS5wlIm1MX
Sometimes he blamed himself for all their problems all because he married a human.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAsOkxRPhroU
It was on a Saturday morning when it all began.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxn9jvGbrKf
The sunlight made the room brighter than usual. Elizabeth groaned in response when she felt something tugging her bed sheets.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAvvHsLWJBBj
"Bingo...not now boy!" She yells and pulls the bed sheets tightly. But the little husky jumped on the bed and licks her face.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAEC6KkeLmyJ
Elizabeth giggles and wipes her face as little Bingo wags his small tail happily.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA6aqG2waIBR
She sat upright.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAH4JUB6Fo4h
"I don't appreciate being woken up by doggy drool".
41Please respect copyright.PENANAHwJaZpD2wx
Bingo barked.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAO1rSGgboOD
And she gave him a pat on the head and went to have a shower.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA3kEPOxAM8n
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.

41Please respect copyright.PENANAUplPWgofP4
I've been avoiding the family next door and so far it's been a week and I haven't felt awakened yet.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ8cc1Z9Lq
"Good morning dear" mom chirped happily as I pulled my seat.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAXqKXvgKrKj
" Good morning mom" I said quietly while I poured some milk in my monster themed cereal.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAujJQRQ6zRy
"You can taste the monster" I muttered coolly as I read the cereal box.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAeGahiJ6ZWZ
Mom sighed deeply.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAaOBer8VE0L
" 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."
41Please respect copyright.PENANA49zSad6D1t
I dropped my spoon in shock and gaped at my mom.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAuGUJr6V1OO
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAbq4tyz4eFa
I counted one to ten as I took a deep breath to calm myself.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAyGKHsNAZxl
"But mom..." I said whine and frown but instead of scolding me mom kisses me on my forehead.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAUiCk2RC2kl
She was the best mom I could ever ask for.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAsXgUMKGce4
"I love you lizzy" she says softly.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAv6rEsdCuSd
I sigh deeply.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAfkGzdvQHX5
"I love you too mom."
41Please respect copyright.PENANAVOxGKS8nsq
She smiled and left for work .
41Please respect copyright.PENANAdqPbl0Up03
Once I was done with breakfast I stared at the pie in the oven like it was my worst enemy.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAi3lVEQXYcG
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAOSy8kCPF29
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAwGmydxHQJS
He wouldn't recognize.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA6kUpdRKrVw
Five minutes later I was ringing the doorbell. I heard footsteps and I felt suddenly nervous.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAkkcobJV4HL
The guy I was stalking opened the door shirtless wearing grey sweatpants that clung to his hips and exposed his torso.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAiSRZ6F5OpK
Oh my.
41Please respect copyright.PENANADuKzdpwU6q
Our eyes locked in a frenzy before he could open his mouth. I blinked and shoved the pie and note into his hands.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAHTSoNh0JhF
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.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA6dCBSvRhqQ
Wow he was hot.
