"What was that?" Hyperventilating while Jake drove away.

"I don't know Riley, but I believe you now." Jake glazing over at me from driving.

"I told you I wasn't crazy." My breathing decreasing.

"Now, I don't want you to think I'm a wuss...I'm not scared of anything...but I've never experienced anything so real like that...I thought we were going to die." Jake embarrassed as his cheeks were blushing red.

"It's okay...people get scared even guys...I don't blame you for being scared." I said with a smile, putting my hand on Jake's leg.

Jake smiled back. "How can Tate live there? I mean I'm guessing this is why he acts like that...I mean anyone would be a little off living with something like that in your house."

"I know...but we shouldn't bring this up to Tate, we can't let him know we broke into his house...he's a really good friend to us and I don't want to be on his bad side...but I know he has a hard relationship with his mom and now his house is haunted...well I think that would make anyone crazy." I said staring out the window.

A few days later, a hear a low sound of a tiny rock hitting my window while I was laying down in my bed. I jump up, anything now a days makes me scared. I open my blinds and I see Jake outside on my lawn. What is he doing here after midnight? I sneak him up into my room. Jake's face uneasy as he enters my room.

"What? What is it? Is it Tate?...Did you see something again?" I asked with nerves.

"I have to tell you something." He pulled me down on my bed, grabbed my hand, and leaned in closer to me.

My heart was racing, the sound striking in my ears, and my palms becoming sweaty. What is he doing? My body was fluttering.

"Listen Riley, I don't know what I'm doing...but it's been all of I've been thinking about. Ever since that day, I've been thinking how much I love and care about you. I didn't want anything to happen to you. I wasn't sure about what type of feelings I had towards you but..." He paused, swallowing.

My hands were full of sweat and my heart pounding while my breathing became heavy. Is this what I think it is?

"I like you more than a friend...I'm in love with you."

My eyes were bulging out, my face frozen, feeling like my heart fell in my stomach. It was quiet for a minute. I was in too much shock to speak.

"Sorry, forget what I just said." Jake's face turning red, getting up from the bed.

What am I doing? I'm an idiot. Say something Riley. I quickly pulled Jake back on my bed.

"I'm in love with you too...I've always liked you...I didn't know how you felt about me so I never brought it up." My voice shaken.

Jake smiled with his gorgeous smile, lighting up his face. He leaned in, his lips touching mine, as he kissed me. My body was on fire and my stomach full of butterflies. I got the nerve to kiss him back. This kiss sending me to heaven. I never thought I would kiss him.

"Jake, can you stay with me tonight? I can't sleep anymore after what happened. Visions and nightmares almost every night of that monstrous face with it's sharp teeth dripping with blood screeching at me." I started sobbing hard while tears were streaming down my face.

"Of course, I know I can't stop thinking about what we seen." He leaned over, our lips touching, in the moment we began to kiss. His kiss making the world stop for a second and all the nightmares flash away.

Jake grabbed me and got under the covers with me as we began to spoon. His body warming me and his breathing on my neck relaxing me.

"It's okay. Sleep now." Giving a kiss on my cheek as it blushed red, falling into a deep sleep.
