Khalifa's POV
The sounds I heard, they couldn't have been right.
"Yes, I heard wrong", I say as I try to calm my heavy breaths and hammering heart as I tighten my grip on the edge of these heavy covers and drag them over my head.
But unlike earlier, my curiosity is dead.
I don't want to go back there to confirm anything, I had my suspicions but now that they've been confirmed, I can't bear to accept it.
I'm in total denial and I plan to just sleep it off.
I might just wake up to everything going back to normal.
"This is just a bad dream, nothing is real", I tell myself as I close my eyes to sleep it off, but I haven't sleep for up to twenty minutes when I hear the door open with a bang.
That's new because Aliyah would usually go out for two hours or more before getting back
