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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAGHCgAnRjDu
I heard a car pulling out outside.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA62nlgrdDdV
It must be the new neighbors.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAetjoTUU7s2
I peeked on the window and indeed there was a car parked outside a few yards from my house.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ6omtos6b
My best friend Lisa used to stay there but unfortunately her family moved to Germany. I missed her.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAVcOneuTFZO
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAe53ewi48N4
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAM5evzL2TGH
My face flushed with embarrassment.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAsKzbB03q5P
"Oh no he definitely saw me looking" I whispered softly.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA9Sl45gNL71
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAmn9fi0YYKD
I don't think I'll leave this room today facing the new neighbors is going to be awkward.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAr7szg5U7ff
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAm1RdC56t4j
He shrugged carelessly.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAq0wZX3zxxX
It must be just my imagination he thought to himself. But the strange feeling didn't leave it felt like she was close.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAx0TTyH6hx9
I looked up the window and she was gone.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAhBvHb87UkB
A little girl clung to his leg like a magnet.
He looked down and a smile curved his lips.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAzrUMGcv6qB
Theodora grins when her father picks her up.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAm2244c76PP
"What's up princess" he muttered quietly and tickles her Theodora squeals excitedly.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAjhbGrmnD4K
"Daddy I'm hungry" she says softly and pouts her lips.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAHQFNovpXdK
"Hmmm I see. Let's go inside and I'll make you a sandwich."
55Please respect copyright.PENANAaKVJRy41tG
Theodora nodded as they went inside the house.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAJjJ3TKY0MR
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANANlMUQl7JxH
Mostly his life has been full of ups and downs. Ever since he lost his wife Azalea he has never been the same.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAuLPdn0gTlP
He was shattered and heartbroken.
55Please respect copyright.PENANABh24aX1MQC
His family consists of his mother,father,his sister and daughter Theodora who is just six years old.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAYNrodiU31w
His family never lives in one place for a long time because his dark past always ruins their soon found happiness.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA4mKgMx8ZDe
Sometimes he blamed himself for all their problems all because he married a human.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA9T65MYwlAS
It was on a Saturday morning when it all began.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAaEyBpMc9e1
The sunlight made the room brighter than usual. Elizabeth groaned in response when she felt something tugging her bed sheets.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAmafl7GkAdD
"Bingo...not now boy!" She yells and pulls the bed sheets tightly. But the little husky jumped on the bed and licks her face.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAM7N6PB8PyP
Elizabeth giggles and wipes her face as little Bingo wags his small tail happily.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA1Iue4U7Ked
She sat upright.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA60v6ySNYfy
"I don't appreciate being woken up by doggy drool".
55Please respect copyright.PENANAgLzKYCHyf7
Bingo barked.
55Please respect copyright.PENANATehtZNih6A
And she gave him a pat on the head and went to have a shower.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA73h8dj2qOK
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA5QETwFJVDB
"Good morning dear" mom chirped happily as I pulled my seat.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAcKUfckQJkQ
" Good morning mom" I said quietly while I poured some milk in my monster themed cereal.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAYU9WMZyY3p
"You can taste the monster" I muttered coolly as I read the cereal box.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAflvrxpGQaN
Mom sighed deeply.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAnKJjx2dIub
" 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."
55Please respect copyright.PENANAiCsJgirJiY
I dropped my spoon in shock and gaped at my mom.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAeiNonBhDvc
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAyLvnfBsA6v
I counted one to ten as I took a deep breath to calm myself.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA69T8ZsNJVQ
"But mom..." I said whine and frown but instead of scolding me mom kisses me on my forehead.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAY05MS63dBB
She was the best mom I could ever ask for.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA0VXRlVS6EK
"I love you lizzy" she says softly.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAjWNJGqUebZ
I sigh deeply.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAjtyHmXUuXA
"I love you too mom."
55Please respect copyright.PENANAEj8xr26aup
She smiled and left for work .
55Please respect copyright.PENANAL4prIW565y
Once I was done with breakfast I stared at the pie in the oven like it was my worst enemy.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAdIQlDIuHN0
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAawbE3oZ0hb
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jd3sUDkVM
He wouldn't recognize.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAlHtoD1oO5C
Five minutes later I was ringing the doorbell. I heard footsteps and I felt suddenly nervous.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAAlfE7tFq6T
The guy I was stalking opened the door shirtless wearing grey sweatpants that clung to his hips and exposed his torso.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAAcN4wxJfPN
Oh my.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAA8M8HpGXZL
Our eyes locked in a frenzy before he could open his mouth. I blinked and shoved the pie and note into his hands.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAwWkF5KYwQa
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.
55Please respect copyright.PENANAgflT5gYMuf
Wow he was hot.
