Yay! Two chapters in one day!

I hate guys. I really do. I mean not enough to go lesbian or anything, but I just will never get them. It has been two weeks since I've seen Warren. He hasn't been by the apartment, hell he hasn't even called. The first week, I acted like the stupid, obsessed girlfriend. Every time the phone would ring or I heard the door bell, I would think it was him. When the second week came, I had changed into the bitter girl, who couldn't stand to look at any guy. I just don't understand at all. It's like now that Katie is back he thinks I don't need him. Well, yeah that's true but that doesn't mean he had to forget about me.

The second week he didn't come around Katie had convinced me to go to the doctors. I don't need the crutches anymore. I have a walking cast now. That has got to be the best thing that has happened to me since him leaving. I even went back to work. I only groom small, calmer dogs but at least I get to work again. I had just finished working on a black miniature schnauzer named Moxie, when David walked in. I was sitting at our front desk rather scared to talk to him. I hadn't gotten any messages since the black out but I still didn't know if it was him or not.

"Can I help you David?" I asked. He glared at me.

"I'm here to see Kathleen not you."

"It's Katie," she said, walking over to us.

"Ah, Kathleen. It's so nice to see you again." Um, hello? Didn't he just hear her? It was Katie not Kathleen. I'm surprised she hasn't killed him yet. She hates it when people call her that name.

"Alright David, what's the deal. Normally you are all over Evy."

"Things change."

"You're weird." I figured now was a good time to ask him about the messages. I had Katie with me and I didn't think he would try anything.

"Yeah, and can you stop with the messages and phone calls?" I asked.

"What are you talking about? I haven't sent you any messages and the last time I called you was when you were having sex with that random guy." Oh crap, he just had to say that didn't he? I hadn't told Katie about that phone call. Now she was going to flip on me.

"For your information, my Evy doesn't have sex with random guys and I don't like your attitude. I think you should take your business elsewhere."

"Fine!" He picked up his dog and walked out of our shop. Good, I never liked his dog anyway. I'm not a big fan of Bichon Frises and his was hard to work with. It was also weird to see a straight guy with a fluffy Bichon. But besides that, I do believe him when he said he didn't send the messages. It didn't seem like him. He might have been kind of stalkerish, but he would never do anything to really harm me.

"Alright, spill, what's going on?" asked Katie, once he was gone.

"Really Katie. I didn't have sex with Warren. David kept calling and Warren just said something about us having sex so he would stop."

"That's nice, but I was talking about the messages thing."

"Oh, that. Um.. Well its kind of a long story."

"Well, I have this beautiful Burmese mountain dog to groom and you have no dog. This is going to take me a long time, so you have a chance to tell me your story. Oh, and no lies, I will know if you are telling one." Yep, she so would. That was the problem with having a friend as close as her, she always had to know what was going on in my life. So I told her about the myspace messages.

"Why would it matter what you are to Warren?" she asked.

"I can't tell you."

"Come on, you have to! I tell you everything."

"Not this. It's not my secret to tell."

"I don't care come one tell me! You won't do it, you won't do it. Peer pressure, peer pressure."

"Fine, shut up! I'll tell you." I walked over to her and whispered in her ear that Warren was really Pyro.

"Shut up! No way! Is he really?"

"Yep. He saved my life but then he burned me. He felt it his responsibility to take care of me."

"And you guys started getting it on when?"

"We are not "getting it on." We only kissed a couple times."

"Evy, he had you up against the wall. That is not just kissing and don't think I didn't notice that nice hickey on your neck."

"We haven't had sex though."

"But you want to don't you." I didn't say anything but I could feel the blush on my face. "I knew it."

"Katie, you can't tell anyone who he is. In fact, if I ever talk to him again and you actually meet him for real, you have to pretend you don't know."

"This is great! I feel like Maria from Roswell. It's like when Liz first tells her that Max, Michael, and Isabelle are aliens. Oh my God, can I really be your Maria!" I started laughing.

"Sure." I spent the rest of our work day telling her all about my week. She couldn't believe what had happened. When we were done for the day, we locked up and walked to the car. After what had happened, we were no longer going to be walking to and from work. Once we were back at our apartment, something didn't seem right. It was dark so I went to flip on the light but it wouldn't turn on. I noticed that the clock on our stove and microwave were not on and realized that the power was out again.

"Katie, lock the door," I said.

"What's going on?" she asked, the fear was clear in her voice.

"I have no idea, but the power is out again." She locked the door and I grabbed the flashlight that was in the kitchen. I saw Katie grab a knife. We checked each room together to make sure no one was inside the place with us. We both relaxed when we realized that no one was in there with us. We went and sat down in the living room.

"Ok, we just need to calm down. Nothing is going on. It's just a power outage." I said mostly to myself, but I guess to also calm her down. The second I said that I knew I had jinxed us. My cell phone started to buzz, meaning I had a text message.

"Don't read it Evy," said Katie grabbing my hand. She was so scared, she was shaking. I didn't listen to her though. I picked up my phone and read what it said.

"Oh, God."

"What? What does it say?"

"I'm here." We both jumped off the couch and I pulled her into the bathroom with me. It was the only room in the place that had a lock on it. I locked the door and we both sat in the tub, huddled together.

"What are we going to do?" Katie whispered. She was normally the strong one. The outspoken one that I followed. This was all new to me. I wasn't used to being the leader.

"I'm going to call someone to help us."

"Warren?"

"No, I don't have his number. I'm going to call his friend Layla." I found her number in my phone book and clicked on it. It started to ring and I was scared that she wasn't going to pick up.

"Hello?" I heard her voice and I instantly calmed. We were going to be ok. Layla would get Warren and he would come protect us.

"Layla, it's Evy. I need you to get Warren and make him come to my house."

"Warren is with me right now. What's going on?" Hey! What is he doing with her? Oh, wait, not important right now.

"I don't have time to explain but my room mate and I are in danger. Please hurry." I didn't hear her say anything but then Warren was on the phone.

"Evy? What the hell is going on?" he asked.

"Warren! Please get over here. Some one is after me."

"What are you talking about?" God did everyone need to hear the story? Couldn't they just understand that there was danger and they needed to come help? They were wasting time!

"Alright, ok. I've been getting these messages from some guy saying.." but before I could finish my story, the bathroom window shattered and water started pouring into the room. Katie started screaming and I dropped the phone. We got out of the tub, unlocked the door and ran out of the room. We ran to the front door but for some reason, I couldn't open it. Yes, I unlocked it first, I'm not stupid. Every window in the apartment was being shattered and water started filling up the room. The water was getting higher. Katie and I stood on top of our table, huddled together.

"Evy! What are we going to do?" asked Katie.

"I don't know, I don't know!" As the water reached our knees, Katie started to cry.

"I can't swim, I'm going to drown." Shit, I forgot that she had a fear of water. This wasn't looking good. When the water reached our waste, I tried to think of an idea.

"We are going to have to swim out the window."

"What are you crazy? I can't swim at all."

"I know. You'll have to hold on to me. I'll swim us out the window. We are on the second floor, it's not that high up."

"I can't do this."

"Yes, you can. Come on Katie. You are the brave one."

"I know but this has to do with water, I can't do it." When the water reached our chests, I took hold of her hand and jumped toward the window. I had no idea how hard it was to swim holding on to a person scared of the water. At first my plan seemed to be working. We were almost at a window when the water coming in got stronger and pushed us apart.

"Evy!" Katie screamed. I saw her go under and I started swimming after her.

"Katie! Hold on I'm coming!" I never made it to her though. I don't know how it happened, but the water seemed to be pulling me. I found myself going under the water and out the window.

I must have blacked out because when I woke up, I was no longer in my house. I had no idea where I was. I looked around me and it looked like I was in a box underwater. A clear box. It kind of looked like I was at the bottom of a pool. I could stand up and walk a little bit. I started pushing at the walls of my small room. There didn't seem to be a way out. There was no door at all. I did see a handle on the other side though. It looked like there was only one way in or out and the only way to get out was if someone on the other side let me.

I looked toward the top of my cage. I couldn't hear anything, but I could see two people at the top of the water. I then noticed one of them dive into the water. As the person got closer I realized it was Warren. I also noticed that water started to fill my small room. I started pounding on the door and screaming. Shit, shit, why the hell is this happening to me? When he reached me, he banged on the wall, motioning at me. I think he was telling me to take a breath. I did just that and he opened the door. Water started to fill the room and I swam out. He grabbed my arm and we swam to the top together. Once there, I noticed that we were in fact, in a pool. We swam to the edge and I pulled myself out. I was gasping for breath and I felt Warren rubbing my back. I'm an Aquarius, and we normally like water, but hell, I never want to go swimming again.
