Chapter 12

I try to keep my breathing steady. Not wanting to alert Mason to the fact I’m awake or that I’ve seen him. I scrunch my eyes closed, too scared to keep looking at those eyes. Slowly I move my hand to find Theo’s, and when my fingers wrap around his I give him three hard squeezes. He groans on the first squeeze, by the third he’s fully alert.

“Jose, what’s wrong?” he asks, sitting up.

“There’s someone in here,” I whisper. I feel Theo shift on the bed before the light clicks on.

“Where?” he asks. I open my eyes and look into the corner where I’d seen Mason, but he’s no longer there.

“He was right there,” I point with a shaky finger. Theo looks puzzled and slightly dazed. As he ‘scans the room. He checks the window and confirms it’s locked, then he checks any wardrobe and bathroom but finds nothing.

“Stay here, I’ll be right back,” he gives me a reassuring smile and picks up my room key before leaving. A few tense moments pass before Theo lets himself back into my room.

“I think it was a nightmare,” he smiles sympathetically.

“It wasn’t, I saw him. It was Mason,” I shake

my head.
