Chapter 2 - Him

"The nerve on this guy" I swallowed my words as he turned around and asked "what's your name? You know what don't bother , you'll be gone by the time I wake up." Then he disappeared into the darkness.

I couldn't believe this , I was being bullied for being in my own compound ( well my grandpa's compound , but he's dead so.) You know we're it not for the fatigue I would have given this guy a piece of my mind,I walked up the steps and into the house and into the living room,the lights were on. Apart from the sheets that covered the furniture everything was exactly the same as I left it fifteen years ago.

As I got up the stairs the first floor contained mostly the bedrooms and the attic , I couldn't help but feel the nastalgia ,so many memories in this place , I got to the top and at the beginning of the hallway you could easily see the end, that's where mom used to sleep though she wasn't fond of this house mostly because of it's surrounding but me and Grandpa belonged here.

My room however was in mint condition just how left it, refreshing . My first instinct was to take a shower, jeez I love hot showers . I think the black cloud looking over my head was finally  gone , I acknowledged as I felt relief pass through my body after watching the steaming water run down the shower.

I wasn't one to normally take long showers but today this was precisely what I needed, after I was done  I slipped on a pair of shorts and a black cropped hoodie ,it was particularly hot in the countryside and I hated sweating at night . I put my pods on and scrolled through my playlist and threw myself back on the bed ,music had this calming effect on me I don't know if it was just me but at times I think some songs are written from my life's experience. Sooner rather, I drifted.

I liked mornings, it was like getting a blank slate ,to do whatever you want but, this particular one I didn't, having fallen asleep I kinda forgot about the idiot from last night .

Some people are like annoying bugs that just won't go away ,karma is a bitch,here he was early in the morning banging away at the roof ,why?I was about to find out.

I was raging inside ,I liked my beauty sleep and this bafoon was knocking and sawing all over the place. I slipped on some fluffy slippers and walked  out and down the stairs . Walking into the living room about to head out there he was ,shirtless,  I could now see him clearly he was taller than me I had to crane my neck abit ,his chest glared in the sun must be the sweat, I have to say he  had a perfect face for a man of his stature he didn't have a beard but his jawline was visible his eyes were emrald green complementing his blond short hair that military buzzcut.

" Wait, your still here ?" I swear  he sounded disgusted , fueling my rage. "I don't know who the hell you think you are but this property belonged to Stanley Lee, that's my grandpa "

"Now hold on Missy , you can Google all that ." I don't believe this guy ,he has the nerve to cut me short and say that? Call me a liar?

I ran back upstairs boiling with anger ,searched my bags and found it.walking back down the stairs I found him standing the leaning on the railing  his shirt over his shoulder. " Here's my I'd I don't know  wether you know how to read but that's my name." He just smirked at me and handed it back and walked out, he didn't even apologize. I'm not one to hate people but this guy....

Nathan's P.O.V

This girl came out of nowhere in the middle of the night and now here she is handing me her id, huh! What'd you know she wasn't lying , she is little Gina ,well abit older that is .

When the old man hired me to look over the property all he used to talk about was his favorite grandchild .

There was no way I was gonna apologize , not on this Earth, I just walked out, besides she should be thanking me instead of yelling , the rains were coming soon ,she's lucky I noticed the wear and tear on the roof.

I took out a cigarette and lit it, you know I never really liked these things but I needed a coping mechanism for the nightmares and voices in my head.

It started to drizzle and by the looks of it this was just the beginning in a few days we're gonna experience some heavy rains .

I got to my quarters which were abit too big for my liking , you see I was in the military and in the tours we'd sleep in trenches, well you couldn't really sleep cause you couldn't be sure if you'd make it to the next sunrise.

I did a few tours ,saw alot of things lost even more , then I was dismissed on the count of I wasn't mentally fit, damn! I should have died there.
