Isabele's War in Space

My heart was racing a mile a minute as I turned the key to my house. My mom and dad would be home any minute, and I had no idea what I was going to do with the girl in my arms.

I opened the door quietly, as not to make too much noise, and carried her up to my room. Her breathing was light and shallow, and I hoped that maybe she’d just passed out from exhaustion.

As I laid her down on my bed, she stirred. “No...don’t put me down!” She stammered, trying to sit up.

I pushed her back down gently, stroking her hair away from her face. “Shhh baby, go back to sleep. This isn’t real remember? It’s just a dream.” My voice was soothing as I tried to reassure my very confused girlfriend that everything was fine. I wasn’t sure if she was even hearing me though. She looked so tired and scared, like this wasn’t the first time it had happened to her. That thought made me feel sick inside.

I sat next to her for a little while and watched as she fell back into a deep sleep before getting up to grab some blankets for her. I covered her up and set about trying to figure out what I was going to do with her until my parents got home.

The obvious answer was to take care of her myself; my parents would never have to know that she was here in the first place. But they were pretty strict when it came to me having girls over, especially at night (guess they didn’t want some skank taking advantage of their innocent boy).

So not only did I have the problem of explaining where this girl came from, but also how we hadn’t even been dating for three months yet...and why she had a giant hickey on her neck that looked remarkably like teeth marks, for me not mention the large amount of blood all over my t-shirt... Oh god, what if she came from one of those clubs? What if someone raped her g- *Shit*. I couldn’t even finish that thought or else I might lose it right there in my own room.

It took me a few minutes after that revelation before I remembered that I had friends who could help me get rid of the body until such time when *gulp* the police happen by chance upon it while they were investigating another disappearance case...
