********************
I woke to find the glass door leading out to my balcony ajar, the cool nighttime breezes from beyond caressing the sides of my face. I stood up to close it. My legs weren’t steady but I managed to shut the door before losing my balance.
Something caught me. I freaked.
“Shh,” said a boy’s voice. I turned to find the most stunning set of green eyes I’d ever seen. Somehow, they calmed me.
“Who are you?” I asked.
He looked confused. “Who am I? But you came, you said that you remembered… didn’t you?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Y-you shouldn’t be here.”
“I don’t understand, earlier—Get back in bed. I’ll explain everything once they’ve left.”
“Once who’s left?”
He didn’t answer. Instead, he guided me back to the bed. My bedroom door opened and he disappeared into the shadows on the other side of my room.
Seconds later, a man peeked inside my door. “You’re awake?” he asked.
“There’s someone in here,” I answered, pointing to the last place I’d seen the mysterious boy. Two men stormed inside and flipped on the light switches. The room was empty, but my balcony door was open again, and I could feel the breezes against my face once more.
