The next day at school Layne stayed by my side. he didn't want me to be anywhere alone. He was starting to get a funny feeling about me not being able to sleep and things happening, like the clock, the feelings, and especially the window breaking. Every night its going a little farther. Whatever it is was pushing me farther breaking me down little by little, sleep deprivation, sanity, this was playing with my weeknesses. Layne rearranged his schedule so it matched mine,it was still early in the semester so teachers were used to the class lists changing daily,we had all the same classes anyway but now they are all in the same slots. The day started without a hinge. When it came to gym class, Layne convinced the teacher that I was sick so I didnt have to participate.I was stuck in the corner marking peoples participation sheets. Kids would pay me to give them good marks, I could make good money doing gym the football coach came in, and he really didn't seem happy. Either practice last night went terrible or he was pissed at Layne,

"Layne McDonald get your but over here now!" He screamed from the doors about 5 feet from me, I didn't want to look at him. His face reminded me of the man from last night. I shuddered. Layne looked at me with his peircing blue eyes as he ran over, his shirtless body gleamed with sweat, the sweat and the light caught his muscles in such a way that I couldnt stop starring. He trains hard to keep his body, he is very proud of it. He says it is the only thing in his life that he has acomplished and is worth showing off. I just plain like it. He shot me a 'here we go' look before the coach started laying into him. "Where the hell were you yesterday? You know what I dont even care! If you think that you are to good to practice with the team ou are surely mistaken! Or are you good for the team, then maybe you shouldnt be on the team!" My face dropped, you could probably scoop it off the floor, Layne's jaw dropped he was about to say something but was cut off. "I'm not going to kick you off the team, you are to good but if you don't show up for one more practice then you are in serious trouble and that might mean no scholarship" With that the couch left with a slam of the gym doors. The wake of the football coach was left for the whole gym to hear. Everyone was just looking over at him, he could handle the stares, I on the other hand couldnt.

"I told you to go" remorseful i patted the ground next to me, he reluctantly took it, he laid his head on my shoulder. "Just make sure you don't miss the next one" I rubbed his knee the best I could, A sigh escaped his lips, "It's ok. When is your next practice?" I tried to cheer him up but nothing would. The thought of him loosing his scholarship was to much for him to think about right now.

"It's tonight, at 9" His chin lifted to look at me, "but i don't want to leave you alone after what happened last night." his eyes expressed the worry that he could not get out in his tone. "I can't protect you if you're away from me" He would no longer look at me, and his voice was starting to crack, I dont know how he could protect me when we were together, but what ever it is doesn't like me not being on my own. I knew he was at his melting point with this. I only told him about this last night and he is this worried about it. This has been happening to me for 2 weeks and last night was the worst of it but it was bearable.

"Layne calm down okay, I will come to the practice, It's no big deal, We can even stay at your house again if you want to." He turned to look at me, with a somewhat smile.

"Are you sure?" He was still fighting back tears but he was happier now than he was 5 minutes ago. the sheet of uncertainty was lifting off his soulders. I knew that I couldn't be away from him, I knew that I needed him for support, and I just didn't want to leave his side. The teacher blew the whistle stating that class was over in 5 minutes. Layne didn't want to move. "I'm going to shower, you going to be here?" I just nodded and gave him a reassuring smile. A few minutes after Layne left Leanne came into the gym, she was in my english class, and my geography class, she was the first person to be nice to me when I moved back here, minus Layne. She was looking for someone,

"Hey Leanne" I stood from my spot on the wood floor. My body ached for being in the same position for an hour and a half.

"Jennifer! Come with me I need to show you something. You wont believe what it is!" I started to protest,

"Well I have to wait for Layne, I told him I would stay here"

"Oh dont worry nothing is going to happen to you!" She laughed and grabbed my and and started running out of the gym to the computer lab upstairs. I kept loking back towads the gym. I let out a big sigh, the look on Layne's face when he sees that I am gone will be horrific. Just from how he acted last night he didn't want me out of his sight. and now I am across the school and out of his reach. "Here you have to see this. Its like the computer is possessed!" She started to log on to the computer. Once everything was loaded she opened the internet and the computer started doing things on its own. Typing in a website all on its own, it was like something was controlling it. The website it went to had pictures of my house, and my room, taken through the broken window.

"But that only happened last night" I said barely audible. I was in shock. Was this all a sick joke? Was something actually happening? What was happening to me? I felt sick to my stomach.

"I wonder whose house this is" Leanne looked so intruiged about the pictures and the caption. There was even a little story.

The girl that lives here is slowly going insane. She claims that something unseen is waking her at night, that the clock gets stuck on 3:37, and that this "thing" comes in through the windows. I am not to sure of her mental state right now, but I am pretty sure that she is no longer legally sane. Maybe someone should take her to Parkwood! This picture here shows the windows that she thinks things look at her from. This one here was broken last night, she probably went crazy and threw something through it! Ha she claims that while not in her room something unseen broke it. What a nut...

The story goes on but i couldnt read anymore. Now something was messing with me. The only other person that knows about this is Layne and he wouldn't write this about me, he was just as scared as I was last night. The lunch time anouncments started. Students started piling out of classrooms. I stayed in the computer lab with Leanne until the halls started to thin out. She was so intriged, she tried to show me things in the photos. She had no idea that, that was my life, my bedroom, my sanity that she was picking at. I tried not to pay attention. The announcements started to cut in and out, It was like something was interfering with the frequency. I shook it off. With the amount of cell phones in this school right now they could probably set off a nuclear missile accidently.

"Leanne I have to go, I'll catch you later" I got up without another word I was gone. I started running down the hals looking for Layne. After running through 2 hallways I still couldnt find him. Franticly I looked the school is only so big there are only somany places that he could be! I looked at my locker and his locker, I was starting to freak out. I am in the middle of my school I cant let it go here, wait until I find him. I kept running,

"Layne!" I yelled once I got to an open part of the halls, I kept searching, people were starting to look at me running circles. "Layne!" I yelled a little louder my voce paniced and worried, it stared to crack. I cant find him, I could feel the tears starting. I stopped running long enough to catch my breath. When I turned I almost ran into someone.

"Watch where you're going freak" Random stranger seemed very aggitated, or that could just be her normal, but I wouldnt know I have never even seen her before. Did she even go here?

"Jay" I heard my name coming down a hallway I didn't know which one though. I turned in a full circle deciding which hall to look in there were 4 that connected to this spot. "Jay!" It was more clear this time, I looked down each hallway to try and see him, I finally saw him running down the north hallway,

"Layne" I said to myself, I started to run towards him, he stopped before I did, I practically jumped into his arms. He was about to start crying, but I couldn't hold mine in anymore. I broke down in the hallway.

"Jay where the hell did you go?" Layne had his hand on the back of my head and was holding me up with the other one. I sobbed for a few minutes before I could even think about answering him. "Shh Jay it's okay, you just had me worried half to death." He leaned against the wall and slid down so he was sitting on the floor. We sat there, me crying, him almost crying, just holding each other.

"Have you told anyone anything that I have told you about the last couple of weeks?" I choked out through the light sobs, "I need to know the truth, if you have just tell me please" I was looking him right in the eyes, his icey blue eyes I could get lost in but I was all serious I needed to know the truth. He moved his hands so one was on each side of my face,

"Jay, I swear to you I haven't told anyone anything, what happened that you think I have?" His face went from sad to worried curious. I have to show him, he needs to know. I started to daze in and out. This was all getting to much for me. My brain was still functioning on very little sleep and now with this being on the internet that comes up when people open the internet on the computer. I was almost about to shut down. I pulled enough strength together to take him to the computer lab and show him. I logged onto the computer and once again the computer typed by itself, open programs by itself.. the only computer that could do this was the teachers computer. But we were the only ones here.

"Jay I promise I didnt tell anyone, I was with you the whole time"

"Layne I know you were, I just had to hear it. Im starting to get really worried. Because its not just at my house now, its at school to. What the hell is going on." I craddled my face in my hands when I felt his warm arms wrapped around my back. "I don't know how much more of this I can take" I was all cried out. Ive been crying for almost 2 days straight.

"Jay we will figure this out. You arent through this alone" He gave me a smile, and a loud bang came out of the hallway along with a disembodied blood curdeling scretch. The bang reminded me of last night, it sounded like the same thud, but I have never heard screams before. I started shaking when I noticed there was the same sized dent in the cinder block wall. I looked back to find Layne looking at me with the same expression I had on my face. Concern, worry, frustration, and panic.
