Why hasn't he told me to date me?

I was in a deep thought. 'Does Leonard even like me or is he using me. No impossible he can not use me. I am sure he likes me'. I decided to go to bed that night. I did not even eat dinner that night.

I slept on the bed. The next day, I woke up terrified. I had a nightmare if you all are wondering what made me scared. The nightmare was obviously bad. I looked for my phone. When I found it, I turned on the phone and checked the time. Oh my goodness, it was three o clock in the morning.

There was still time. Like a lot of time. I tried to go back to bed. But I could not fall asleep. It was hard waking up feeling scared and trying to fall asleep within few minutes. I tried to think of happy things but it did not work.

I tried to do some exercise but I was afraid of waking my parents up. Then my phone rang, it was Leonard. 'Why is he calling me this late' I thought to myself. I picked up the call and when I tried to greet him and ask him the reason why he was calling me this late. I heard a sound. It was very loud. Then I heard Leonard's quick breaths from the phone.

It seems like he was running but why would he run when the time was three in the morning. Then after some time, I did not hear any sound. I waited for a while. Then I heard Leonard's voice.

"Hello Elle"

"What is going on?" I asked feeling scared because the way he called my name felt like something or someone was pursuing him but why.

"I can't explain to you what is happening right now but can you please open your house door so that I can get in" he continued. I was shocked. So I asked

"Why... Like I mean why should I open the door for you?"

Then he said while giving hurried breaths

"Do you want me to die ok please Elle.... Please open the door for me I promise to explain everything". Then I agreed. I know that it was bad but I wanted to take a risk. I quickly rushed to the door and opened it with the key. Then I heard a voice behind me

"Why are you opening the door when it is still three in the morning". Well you guessed it. It was my brother. He looked at me with a questioning look and went to my parents room.

He knocked on their door and asked them to come out. My parents came out of their room. They did not know what was going on.

"Why did you wake us up this early in the morning".

I knew it my brother was going to tell them what he saw and he did not disappoint.

"Well I would not have woken you up if your daughter could tell me why she unlocked the front door when it was still early".

Then my parents looked at me and told me to answer my brother's question. As soon as I want to answer, Leonard came in looking haggard and there was blood all over his shirt.

My brother was shocked for a while before closing the door quickly. Why was Leonard injured.
