seem to care anymore.  I rush inside the dorm room and slip into my pajamas.  After eating some Top Ramen I plop onto my bed and drift off to sleep.

      It takes every ounce of self-control I have not to run out that door after her.  Chloe, even her name is exquisite.  She certainly thought she had me pegged, I should be angry but instead I’m intrigued.  I need to know more, I need to know everything about her. 
        “Hey, mind if I cut in?”  I ask her roommate Katie.
        “Uh-okay, sure,” she says reluctantly releasing her hold on Brian.  I catch a look of disappointment as he passes me.
        “Sorry about that, I just wanted to ask you some questions about your friend,” I say making sure I’m not leading her on.  She laughs.  She’s not bad looking; blonde hair, perky breasts, tiny waist.  But she’s not the one that’s caught my attention.
        “I actually just met her today,” she chuckles.  “I can tell you she doesn’t have a boyfriend.”
        “Well that’s a start,” I smile.  “What else?”
        “Umm…well she likes to run, she said something about going for a run every morning before class.”
      Perfect, now I have my in.  Sure I feel a bit like a stalker but this is the first girl that has captured my interest in years, nobody has talked to me like that since…well since, Samantha.
        “Thanks darlin, now if you wouldn’t mind telling me what building you’re in, I’ll hand you back over to my friend.”  I didn’t even have to beg, she just handed over all the intel on her friend.  She clearly would not last long during an interrogation.  Mental note, don’t ever trust this girl with a secret.

      I wake up screaming again, I thought the nightmares had disappeared but apparently not.  When I open my eyes and look around, the room is dark and Katie is missing.  She couldn’t still be at the club, could she?  I glance at the clock on my phone, 1:45am.  Hmm…strange, I can’t exactly call and check on her. I don’t even have her number.  I’m sure she’s fine, she’s an adult, and she probably went home with that Brian guy.
      I lay back down and close my eyes, I hate nightmares.  It’s always the same one, it’s dark and I’m being chased.  I don’t have to guess who the man chasing me is, it’s the same person every time.  I can still remember his hateful laugh, I can remember the way his hands felt and the musky scent of his cologne.  I mentally force the thoughts to go away and attempt to drift back to sleep.
      The next week flies by, people have been trickling in and the campus is filling up.  I’ve been running every day.  Katie has established a pattern of her own, she frequents the club every night and sleeps til noon.  I’m happy she has been so preoccupied that she hasn’t bothered to become besties anymore. 
      I have also traded in my pink comforter for a black and white floral pattern.  There are still specs of hot pink here and there but it’s not nearly as bright.  I’ve given up my Susie Sunshine routine already and decided to just be myself, well mostly myself.  I am still keeping my inner demons in check, but that’s mainly for my own benefit rather than anyone else’s.  School starts tomorrow and I’m nervous but excited.  I can’t wait to get my Law degree and start helping people, people like myself who didn’t get any.
      I am on another of my morning runs and almost back to my dorm when I get that creepy feeling again, like someone is watching me.  I know there are more people around now, but it still feels strange.  It’s the third time this week I’ve felt like this and it makes me uneasy.  I decide to pick up the pace and get back sooner rather than later.  As I’m rounding the corner of my building, I turn around to glance behind me and run smack dab into a wall…oh wait, not a wall it’s much much worse.
        “Well
Go to
