"So, how's life treating you these days now that I'm gone? Is everything chill? Any boys I should kill? HA, that rhymed." Luke said over the phone.

I smiled. God, I missed him so much. "No Luke, there aren't any boys. And yes everything is ok,"

"Great i- oh wait, I just remembered, weren't you supposed to be moving in yesterday? Are you at the apartment right now? How is it?"

Crap!

I forgot to tell him about that. "Umm, well... no, not really, I'm kind of a little screwed right now."

"What? Did Bella really turn out to be a murderer?" Luke joked.

"Well, umm no." I sighed.

"Then what happened? Where are you staying now? Is everything okay? God, I knew I shouldn't have left, Is there a problem?"

I filled him in on the events of yesterday. "Wait, Blake and Cole? As in Evans and Anderson?" Luke asked.

"Yep."

"Liv, you're not staying in a hotel," Luke said in a tone that made it sound like it was not up for discussion.

"Luke where else do you expect me to stay?"

"Leave it to me, I'll handle it. Listen, I have to go now, stay safe Liv, I love you"

Handle it? How the hell is he going to handle it? Huda and her family are leaving in two days.

"I love you too," I replied before he hung up.

I got up, changed into my PJs, brushed my teeth, and took some sleeping pills since I'm not feeling that tired but I'm forcing myself to sleep early because I read that setting a healthy regular sleep schedule would help prevent my nightmares from coming back so often, and I'm really not planning on waking everyone in the house up with my screaming.

I snuggled into the sheets of the bed and was out before I knew it.

¸,ø¤º°'°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°'°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°'°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º° °º¤ø,¸

"Gosh screw it, screw you, screw this school, screw science and screw... Einstein!" Huda yelled taking off her goggles, "Why the frick do I even have to wear fuggin goggles for some dumb tooth fuggin paste cow experiment?"

We were currently in Chemistry class, Mr. Edwin asked for each pair of partners to choose a random safe experiment to do since we finished going through today's material way too early and the boys were practically begging him to let us 'have some fun with the chemicals'.

I chuckled. "First of all, what does Albert have to do with this? Leave him out of it, the poor man didn't do anything to you, plus, we're in a chemistry class, not physics. Second of all... 'Tooth fuggin paste cow experiment'? Seriously Huds? It's called the elephant toothpaste experiment and you're the one who decided we should do this one."

"It looked cooler in Eddie's fifth-grade science book," Huda pouted.

Before I could reply to that, half of the class suddenly let out a bunch of screams after the sound of something popping came out. What the hell?

I looked behind me to find one of the students holding a candle above a glass container filled with some liquid. He brought the candle near the liquid causing fire to light up inside the container and the loud popping sound to come out again.

The minute I saw the fire my eyes widened, my breathing hitched and my heart started to beat rapidly.

Fire.

I need to get out of here.

Flames. Burning. Mama. Papa. Choking. Loud noise. Gunshots. Fire. I'm going to die.

I can't breathe.

I got up from my seat and rushed out of the classroom, still struggling to breathe. A wave of fear suddenly took over me and my body started to shake.

Can't breathe-

I thought I saw something at the corner of my eye and turned around only to find Mommy and Daddy burning alive in front of me while grinning. My eyes widened and I started gasping for air

No, no, no, no.

This can't happen now, it can't.

"This isn't real Olivia, they aren't real, no one is in front of you." I kept chanting those words to myself like a prayer.

I closed my eyes and started to focus on my breathing just as how Doctor Smith taught me.

In...

Out...

I can't-

In- GOD DAMN IT! BREATHE, YOU IDIOT.

In again...

Out...

There you go, keep on going.

In...

Out...

I kept on focusing on my breathing while squeezing my eyes shut for what felt like five minutes and eventually, I found myself calming down.

Oh my god.

That was close.

The last time I had a panic attack was two years ago before Luke forced me to sit through therapy sessions with Doctor Smith. I begged him to stop making me go there after the nightmares and panic attacks had stopped. Eventually, he agreed.

This was the first time I was able to stop the panic attack by myself before it got worse; it's a good thing that I was aware of the fact that it was a panic attack and not real, Dr. Miller mentioned that realizing that I was having a panic attack and being aware of it was one of the things that could stop the panic attack before it got worse.

I was never really able to do that, to prevent my panic attack from getting worse, it's really easier said than done. Luke was always near me when I had them and he was the only one who was able to stop them.

I took another deep breath and opened my eyes.

"There you are! Oh for fuck's sake Olivia, I thought something bad had happened! What the hell are you doing? Why were you rushing out of class like that?" I heard Huda's voice ask from behind me.

I turned around and looked up at her worried face.

I managed to let out a small smile that assured her that I was okay and came up with a small lie, "Sorry, I thought I had leaked or something."

"Oh. You know you could've just asked me to look." Huda sighed.

"Y-yeah, sorry- was too paranoid to think of that."

She shook her head and gave me her signature wide smile. "Well if there isn't anything... hurry and get your ass back in class before Mr. Edwin shoves a beaker in both our asses after he finishes whooping Andre's butt for making a flammable H2 experiment, I swear it's like that dude wants to die."

Oh.

Flammable H2... That explains the fire and popping sound.

The bell rang while Huda and I were making our way to class, so we decided to hurry into the classroom to grab our books and head to the cafeteria for lunch.

"I really don't get why most kids complain about school food, I mean sure, it might cause both constipation and explosive diarrhea but it's still food and it isn't that bad. I swear teenagers these days can be so dramati- holy fudge nuggets- ummm... I think I might- I'm just gonna go to the bathroom for one sec- oh crappuccinoooo" Huda yelled as she ran to the bathroom.

I chuckled to myself. I just knew this was going to happen, I mean the girl ate five pizza slices and a rotten-looking cheese sandwich, what the hell did she expect to happen?

I sat there at the cafeteria table thinking about... well, nothing in particular when I heard a voice yell from behind me with the sound of footsteps rushing towards my table's direction.

"HEY THERE ROOMIEEEEE!" the voice screamed. Wuhh?

I turned around and my eyes widened at the sight of Cole Anderson running towards me with a huge smile plastered on his face.

Oh my god, I have to move NOW. What the hell is happening? Please don't be heading towards me, please don't be heading towards me.

I stood up from my seat and backed away from the table and was about to walk away when the blond idiot attacked me. "THIS IS GONNA BE THE EPIC-IST THING EVER! MY NEW ROOMIE IS A SAVAGE!" Cole said way too enthusiastically while ruffling my hair.

Roomie? What the hell is he talki- NO!

NO, NO, NO, NO. This isn't happening.

But Luke said he'd handle it! What the hell is going on? Please let this man be on drugs, please god, please!

"Roomie?" I asked.

"YUH! We a- wait," Cole paused after seeing the confused and almost horrified look on my face. "Luke didn't tell you? Crap! Umm, well... you see Oliver, your big bro called last night informing us about your living situation and virtually kicked our asses for the whole Bella thing. Anywhore, we needed another roomie since the bills are getting expensive as fudge and Blake really didn't want to live with the thirty-year-old creep who looked like he had just finished committing cannibalism since he was one of the many who applied for the apartment, and the other applicants were just weird and every one of them was older than twenty-five since you barely find high school teenagers looking for apartments to stay in. So when we heard that you were finding difficulty in finding an apartment we were more than happy to welcome you, well at least I was, Blake just had a creepy grin plastered on his face." Cole rambled.

I just stood there staring at him without saying one word. Luke called them?

Out of everyone in this stupid town, he called them?

Two of the biggest players in school, hot as frick, one of them was cocky as hell and the other was an over-enthusiastic hyper idiot, and did I mention both of them were of the opposite gender as me? Weren't protective older brothers supposed to keep such boys away from me instead of making me live under the same rooftop as them?

Again... what the hell?

Cole snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Umm, Oliver? Did I break you or something? Crap, not again, Cole!" He muttered.

"Again?" I asked confused.

"Oh so I didn't break you, ok good, now did you hear what I just said or do you want me to repeat myself? Please say no because Bob is kind of screaming at me to feed him and my throat is getting kind of dry from all the talking."

"Bob?" What the hell is this dude talking about?

"My stomach Oliver... duhh." Cole said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "So did you hear what I said?"

"Yes I did and I don't thin-"

"Great! Luke said your stuff is already packed from Tuesday so Blake and I are going to pick them up with you today at five o'clock so you'll have more than enough time to unpack and discuss apartment crap with us. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta go shove something edible inside my mouth before Bob starts to eat himself out. See ya later roomie!" Cole said as he ran to the vending machine at the end of the cafeteria.

Well crap.
