#8 :: Not Everything Is Shared

13) NATASHA

AnonymousAdmirer: My problem is you blocked me. All I ever said was how pretty you was and how I liked you a lot. I even offered to take you out. Why did you not accept?

AnonymousAdmirer: Now you are ignoring me again.

AnonymousAdmirer: I get really mad when I am ignored.

AnonymousAdmirer: All I was being was nice.

AnonymousAdmirer: You are going to regret ignoring me. I know where you work and I know what you look like.

"What the actual fuck?" I said out loud. I didn't know if it was true or not. But I certainly wasn't going to be intimidated by no crazy behind a computer screen.

As the day went by I had even forgotten about the email. I had closed up the gym and went home. Sometimes I will walk home. It's not far it's about a fifteen minute walk. But being the fitness fanatic that I am I loved walking.

I guess I didn't notice that I was being followed. I definitely had forgotten about the emails from the earlier part of the day because out of nowhere I felt someone grab me from behind and put their hand over my mouth.

"Told you I hated being ignored. Did you think I was joking." Was all they said. As soon as I heard that I remembered the emails from earlier. I will admit I was scared. Very scared. I tried to kick and scream but they held me in a way that I couldn't do neither. Just as they was about to drag me into the park I heard someone shout "Oi. Stop!!" they instantly took off and I fell to the floor struggling to breathe. I was having a panic attack. I felt someone touch my shoulder and I started swinging my arms any which way.

"Woah, woah, woah. They're gone." He shouted. I looked up and it was a man who I assumed was jogging and lucky for me he took this route to jog.

"Are you okay?" He asked me.

"No." I said trying to hold back the tears. Who would have thought? Me, doing something I loved almost cost me my life.

"I don't have a phone on me as I don't jog with anything other than my music. Do you have your phone or did they take that?"

"No. they never took anything. What do you want with my phone?"

"We need to call the police. That person has got away and could come back again. You need to report this."

"Oh. Yeah. You're right." I took out my phone and handed it to him I was too shaken up to do anything.

The next couple of hours I spent at the police station telling them what happened. They told me that they would come and take my computer and that I should lock down the Talk2Tasha show immediately. I protested. I said I wanted to still take the calls but I won't do the emails. They took my clothes for forensics just in case they left anything that could lead them to anything closer than what they had which was nothing other than the stuff on my emails. I never even saw what the person looked like.

When they let me go eventually Stephanie, Malcom and Reece was outside waiting for me. I hugged Stephanie so tight. I was so glad she was here.

"Hey Tasha, I think you should come and stay with us." Malcom suggested.

"No, I don't want to impose plus I really just want to go home and be in my bed."

"Miss Rogers, we did say it would be best if you stayed with family or friends until you made sure your house is completely secure."

"I could help with that." I heard a voice say. We all turned around and it was the guy who saved me.

"You could?"

"Yeah, I fit alarms both fire and security for a living. You could come round to the office in the morning and we could find ones suitable for you. Could also have cameras installed as well we deal with that as well." He said.

"Oh, you have already done enough."

"Don't be silly. Your safety comes first. Please. Come by tomorrow. It's not far. It's called C.A.I ltd." He said.

"That's round the corner from us. We actually got our camera and alarms done with them. I recommend them highly. Well that's settled. You stay with us and then you go there tomorrow." Malcom insisted.

"You know you better listen." Stephanie laughed. I sighed.

"Thank you again...oh how rude I don't even know your name." I said to the young man.

"It's Josh."

"Right. Thank you Josh." He said and smiled. As he left I noticed Reece was watching him really hard. He then looked at me and asked if I was okay I said yeah and he left. I hadn't seen him since I left his house that day. He seemed a bit off but I really didn't have time for his moods. I had had a long day and all I wanted was my bed.
