Episode 2

My grandma called me, I could hear her from upstairs, I looked up. She was yelling over the stairwell. I sighed and walked up. She smiled sweetly. "Dinner's ready." She shooed me inside. I sighed audibly and walked inside.

She sat me down at the table. She put a plate of pasta in front of me, I ate it quickly, before my grandma could sit down. I washed my plate and ran up to my room, my grandma extended her arm, she looked worried, but I didn't care. I pulled the sketchbook from under the bed, opening it to the first page. Likewise, I pulled my pencil out, gliding it across the page.

I was sketching a landscape, but I was getting frustrated. Lemon water. I walked down the stairs. "Grandma, I'm leaving, I'll be back soon." I put my shoes on, and walked out the door before she could say anything.

The breeze was cold, it calmed me, I slowly walked to the store, enjoying the moment. I closed my eyes, taking in the feeling, but I continued walking.

AT THE STORE:

I walked down the aisles. The lighting was dim here, the mood dropped, it wasn't a good feeling I had in my gut. I quickly grabbed my Lemon water, and walked to the register. I looked down, grabbing my credit card. Not only that, but I looked back up. It was the man from earlier. He recognized me.

"You're the kid who had his face buried in my chest." He rang up my lemon water, he was smiling. I got embarrassed. Whatever... He didn't have to say that.... "Are you done?" I looked at him, he was taking his time ringing my lemon water up. I was getting annoyed. "Can you hurry? I don't have time for this." I crossed my arms, tapping my finger impatiently. He was still smiling, he slowly handed me the lemon water. I snatched it out of his hands. He smirked, he knew I was annoyed. I stormed out of the building, but he stopped me. "Watch out for the man downstairs." He walked back inside. I tilted my head, I was confused. I shook my head and walked the other way.

THE NEXT DAY:

I walked out of the apartment building, holding a bouquet of flowers, I was going to visit my dad. I finally got to the hospital, I walked to my dad's room. I opened the door, he was sitting there reading a book. He looked up and smiled. "Hi dad..." I walked over to him and handed him the flowers. He took them and smelled them.

"Thank you." He put them down, the nurse walked in, shooting me out. "You can't be here, we have important business." She smirked and threw me out. I scoffed, walking back to the apartment complex. I walked into the apartment complex.

It was night, it was dark. I paused I saw something weird....There was a man.....Breaking into my apartment?
