Find Me

12 ? Suspicious

"Skylar?"

I don't answer him; I'm too busy feeling like I'm going to upchuck all over my shoes. An unknown number shows up on my messaging app screen. It's him.

'MELANIE, GET AWAY FROM HIM!'

'MELANIE, I'M WARNING YOU!'

Then a new one pops up, startling me even more.

'I MEAN IT MELANIE. IF YOU DON'T LEAVE NOW, I'LL KILL HIM!'

I swear I can feel my heartbeat in my throat. He's here...he knows I'm here with Xavier.

"Skylar," Xavier says even louder than before, his eyes wide in alarm.

My hand shakes as I put my phone back into my pocket. I have to get out of here; I can't have anyone else getting hurt on my account, not like Laura. Even if my stalker was bluffing, which I doubt, I still can't take any chances. I made that mistake once before. "I—I have to go."

Shaking his hand off my shoulder, I turn to leave. What he says next causes me to stop in my tracks.

"I'll see you later then?"

My eyes lock with his again for a brief moment, my heart, beating hard from fear, still flutters in my chest at his words. "I hope so," I say, a faint smile coming over my lips.

Then, I leave.

My heart is still pounding in my chest when I enter through the door to the house. When my mom hears the slam of the front door, she rushes in with a towel in her hands. She wipes them off as she continues to examine my psychological state. "Are you alright?"

I nod immediately. Then, I push past her, heading down the hallway to 'Skylar's' room. When the door is locked tightly behind me, I slide to the floor, my head in my hands. He knows where I am. Before, when I received that rose, I wasn't positive then. Now I am.

How long had that taken him? One, maybe two days to get my number? I don't even know how he could have done it. Perhaps when he dropped off the rose, he went into my phone? Or maybe he hacked into the phone company's network somehow? Even though that seems like a slim chance, I wouldn't put it past him.

I run my fingers over my face again. It doesn't matter how he got my number. The main thing is, he found me. I thought I was safe. Now I know I'm not. Then, a thought comes to me: I may never be safe again. I might be on the run for the rest of my life, trying to get away from the person who won't leave me alone, who thinks he can control me.

A ball of anger rises in my throat, almost asphyxiating me. First he kills Laura, and then he threatens to kill someone who might be the only one besides Mom who will talk to me in this town. Now, you can bet he's going to keep threatening me until I break. I think I'm already almost broken.

"Help me," I whisper, the back of my head hitting the door. "Help me, Laura. I can't do this alone."

Of course, there is no answer.
