《Roommates, with nightmares》4
Advertisement
Surprising or not, me and Tyler haven't spoken all week. And trust me, I'm grateful! I've seen him around the apartment a couple times but we never spoke. Its kind of awkward, but I can't blame myself, he's the one who bullied me in high schools me wants to forget all about it.
Not happening.
If he REALLY wants to be friends, then he'll have to fight for it, because I'm not giving in that easily. Wither we're roommates or not.
Tonight's a Friday night and I'm surprised when I come home and find Tyler is home.....alone. He didn't bring any of his friends over, which surprises me. Considering how social he is.
I walk through the front door and throw my keys on the kitchen counter. "you didn't invite any of your friends over?" I question.
He looks up from the TV and that's when I notice he's not wearing a shirt.....again. "I did. Your just home late." I give him a questioning look then look at my phone.
"Oh....." I mumble as I realize that its almost eleven o'clock. He smirks. "Oh is right." He says looking back at the TV. I shake my head. "Fine. then I'm getting in the shower." I said. I walk to the room and toward any dresser as I hear his footsteps follow.
"We could save water and I could shower with you." He says.
I glance over at him as he's smirking at me while leaning on the doorway on one side. crossing his arms over his bare chest. His.....bulky...sexy chest.
I so did not say that!
I want to slap myself for thinking that.
"Princess, you might want to take a picture. it'll last longer."
I roll my eyes and blush at realizing that I was staring........again. see, this is why I wanted the rule of him having to wear a shirt, so I don't get caught staring. Or stare at all.
"Whatever Colton. Just move So I can take a shower." I say walking towards him. He only moves to block me more from the door. Still showing a happily smirk on his face that I want I slap of right now.

"Make me." He mumbled. I push his shoulder and he barley moved. I punch his chest now, he moved back a little more but didn't move completely. Then laughed.
Okay, THAT made me pissed. I hate it when someone laughs at me. I shove him with my shoulder and it has enough force to push him just enough out of the way so I can get by. I smirk as I run to the bathroom and slam the door shut, locking it behind me.
"Now what Colton?!" I taunt.
"I guess you'll have to find out when you come out of that bathroom then won't you?" He says from the opposite side of the door.
I roll my eyes and start getting undressed. As I slid in the shower I think.
We were acting like little kids. Who has known each other for our whole lives. Well we HAVE known each other for practically out whole lives but not in a good way. But if he sill thinks I'm going to forgive him easily about everything, he's got another thing coming.
I get out and get dressed. Ive gotten used to just sliding on a big t-shirt over my bra and panties without shorts on. Thankfully, I can easily slid into bed without Tyler noticing.
So I throw my cloths into the laundry basket and open the door carefully. I know he's planning something, so I need to be on a lookout. I feel like a spy as I roam around the apartment silently.
I'm like a ninja.
Or batman! I love Batman. He's my favorite superhero. And 'gothem' is my favorite tv show. Im actually wearing a batman t-shirt right now. the one I'm wearing is toms, but I have my own in my size. I just wear this one because its a lot Niger and perfect to sleep in. even if it barely covers my butt.
I waltzed into my room and shut the door. But am surprised when a hand slaps my butt.
I jump and turn around to see a smirking Tyler. "like I said, fine ass. And I toke you you'd find out." he said. I punch his chest. "dick cheese." I mumble.

I turn around and roll onto my bed, pulling the covers up to my waist. "dick cheese? What kind of name is that?"
"Yours."
He chuckles and goes into his own bed. "Your funny Maxy. But I'm funnier."
I roll my eyes and close them as I turn off the lamp on the end table. "you may be funny but I'm hilarious." I say. He smiled and nodded. "You got me there. Night Maxy."
"Night Colton."

"She's so weak." I hear an unfamiliar guy say. I only know two out of the four.
Tyler and chase.
"I agree. We should see how much heat she can take." Chase says. they all laugh and high five as they each take a body part.
Chase grabs my right arm. the two unfamiliar guys grab my legs. while Tyler grabs my left arm.
Where are thy taking me?
Why can't they stop?
Why WONT they stop?
What did I ever do to them?
So many questions rumble through my head that I wish I knew the answers too. but all that comes out of my mouth is a scream. Before someone covers my mouth with their hand. Im helpless. four guys against one girl. what's my chance?
They laugh as they throw me into a room.
A steam room.
I'm about to scream before stem comes all around me. Having anxiety attacks ever once and a while doesn't help this situation. I stand up to go to the doors and see them all laughing a at me. I bang on the door as stem starts to cover my sight.
I fall to the floor. hitting my head hard.
##########################
I sit up straight on my bed, gasping for air.
Where my inhaler?
I'm screaming. I'm crying. I haven't had that dream in forever. I can't catch my breath and I'm gasping rapidly. I grip the sides of my head. My hair clenching In between my clutched fingers.
I scream again. I can't help it. when I can't breath it just comes through me. I feel a pair of hands on my back and when I hear someone speaking I start gasping more.
"Max! what's wrong!?" Tyler screams. I push away his hand from my back and scoot up into the corner, still sitting on my bed. I gasp and pull my knees up to my chest and he sits down on the bed. He scoots closer and I ignore his face totally, not wanting to face him.
"Max." He says grabbing my wrists. I try yanking out of his grip, but fails horribly. He manages to pull me towards him so that I'm not forced in a corner. I yank and punch his chest multiple times to get away from him. he forces his legs around my waist so i don't kick the shit out of him. I don't know how I get words out of my mouth.
"Stop! it was you! you did this!...... You did this...." I whisper the last part, not knowing how tired I was. My eyes closed. I captured my breath and can finally breath normal again. I'm still crying though. His hands are gripping my wrists and I fall onto him. He lets my wrist go and wraps his arms around My back.
My arms limply hug his torso. I can't think of much other than the nightmare I just had. I hate that one. every time I wake up like that. I don't really think of how awkward our position is right now. His legs are wrapped around my waist, forcing my legs to stay against the bed.
I didn't even know how tired I was until I fell into a deep sleep.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
