Page 77 of A Second Chance At Forever

We finally made it home as the sun was setting.

I opened Lennox’s door and we started the walk to the house when we noticed the door had been busted open.

“Get back in the car and lock the doors. Call the police.” I slowly moved into the house.

I began looking through each room, nothing seemed to be missing and I didn’t find anybody inside. I made my way back to the girls who were shaken.

“The police are on their way,” Lennox said stepping up to my side.

“I couldn’t find anyone inside. Let’s check your rooms and make sure nothing is missing.”

We all walked upstairs and searched Alissa’s room first, nothing was missing. We made our way into Lennox’s room.

“Is anything missing?” I asked.

“I don’t think so,” she said checking her stuff.

The police knocked on the door and took a report. I managed to get the door fixed but knew I would have to have a security system installed. We had just made it to bed when Lennox’s phone rang.

“Hello? Yes, this is Lennox Madison.”

She was quiet for a few minutes before replying, “Okay, thank you.”

“Who was that?” I asked, playing with a strand of her hair.

“The police, my apartment has been broken into. They said they locked up but I would need to check it out tomorrow and see if anything was stolen.”

“We need to put an end to this shit.” I turned off the light, not even fazed anymore.

Sleep didn’t come easy, I tossed and turned and so did Lennox. As soon as I would fall asleep, she would start tossing, waking me back up.

I heard my bedroom door quietly close and I instantly sat up, causing Lennox to wake up.

“Sorry, it’s just me,” Alissa said in the darkness.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“I’m kind of scared. Can I sleep with you guys?”

Lennox laughed but allowed her to crawl in next to her. I didn’t mind either, it meant Lennox was that much closer to me.
