Chapter Three

I stayed at home for a week after that incident. It's not because I'm scared of them😅, but I wanted my black eye to go completely. Kaitlyn literally killed me through the phone. The conversation went like this:

"You bloody asshole, why are you sitting at home for so long?"

"I...uh...."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

""Uh... actually..."

"Don't you dare give me the black eye excuse".

"Umm...."

"Don't utter a word. I'm coming over", and the line went dead.

And here we are, sitting in my home, in front of the TV watching some action movie. I told her about the stalker. And I did not expect her reaction to be like this. She is jumping up and down after listening to my story.

"Becca has a stalker, Becca has a stalker".

I stared at her with my mouth wide open. She is jumping like a child who got a big bar of chocolate. Speaking of chocolate, I decided to take a bar of chocolate while she finishes her dance. I took the chocolate and sat on the sofa. And out of nowhere, Kaitlyn jumped on top of me.

"Give me that".

"No, this is my chocolate", I cried.

"Give...me...the....CHOCOLATE", she screamed.

We both started wrestling for the chocolate. And to my disappointment, the chocolate broke, sending us flying to 2 corners.

"Ahaa....", she did a victory punch with air. I grunted and turned away from her and took a big bite from the chocolate.

"Are you angry because of the chocolate or because I danced?

"Both", I mumbled.

"Ookay, so what was he like?", Kathy asked excitedly.

"He is tall, he was wearing full black and that's it".

"That's it? I mean did you not see his face?", she asked disappointed.

"No, I only saw his eyes and half of his face was hidden by his hoodie".

"Aww, that's too bad".

"What? Aren't you even worried about me? What if he is a murderer? What if he is going to kidnap me?", I screamed at her.

"You are thinking too much Becca. Nothing like that will happen".

"You said like this on my birthday also".

"Yeah....", she said sheepishly.

We sat in silence thinking about the possibilities. After some time, Kaitlyn jumped from the sofa and stood in front of me.

"What if he is your secret admirer?", she screamed to my face.

"Ugh, Kathy...are you crazy?", I was shocked. Nothing like that is ever gonna happen in my life.

"Becca, think about it. Staring at you in the park, followed you until you reached home, glanced back at you before going, what does all this mean?"

When she put it that way, I started to think about it. What if he is my secret admirer? Oh my God!!! I can't believe it. I have a secret admirer!!!! I jumped up and down in my mind but I did not show it to Kaitlyn.

"What does all this mean?", she asked once again eagerly.

"It means he is trying to kill me", I said in a matter-of-fact tone. She threw a pillow at me and stormed out of the living room.

"Kathy....wait", I ran after her.

Next day I went to school. The comments, it was wonderful!!!!

"Look, the bitch came".

"Oh no. I saw her. My day will the worst today".

"Why does she still come here?"

"Why can't she go and die?"

As usual, I ignored them and went straight to my locker. And there also, I found a lot of "flowery" words. I sighed, took the books and went to class. I reached the class 5 minutes early but found the teacher inside. I opened the door and everyone groaned when they saw me. I saw Kaitlyn grinning. I smiled, gave Mr. Williams, our Geography teacher a confident good morning and sat near Kaitlyn. Everyone is still staring at me. They might be thinking from where I got this much confidence but the truth is, my heart was in mouth while saying that. I patted myself on the back and I have to give a treat myself for doing such a big thing.

The rest of the day was just like it has always been; backstabbing words, pushing me to the floor, throwing papers at me, blah blah blah. And unfortunately Kaitlyn and I got a long essay as punishment for giggling in the history class. And we were forced to sit at school and write the stupid essay. We finished it at 7pm, kept it on the teacher's table and left school. I am really glad Kaitlyn is there with me, otherwise I would be scared to death.

"It's so dark", I shivered.

"What do you expect at this time?", Kaitlyn muttered.

"You know I'm scared of the dark, right".

"I know".

"Then atleast make me feel less scared", I screamed.

"Mm-hmm".

My best friend is the best.

We walked in silence till Kaitlyn's house. I was clinging to her all this time. She tried to remove her hand from my grasp but I would hold her hand more tightly.

"Okay, we reached my home. You can let go of me now."

"Noooooo, please come with me till home. Please, please", I cried and held her more tightly.

"Let go of me girl", she pushed me but I did not leave her.

"Please please please", I looked at her with puppy eyes.

"Let go", Kathy screamed and pushed me hard and I fell on the sidewalk.

"Please Kathy", I went on my knees and begged her. She gave a dark look and I immediately stood up, said a quick goodbye and ran away from her. It's better to walk in the dark than see her wrath.

My house is just 3 blocks away. I took a deep breath and started walking home. I walked cautiously through the street. Whenever I see a dark alley, I would speedwalk. And finally I saw my house. But I was suddenly pulled back by someone.

"Where do you think you're going sweetie?", a burly man asked. He hasn't washed for days and he had tattoos on his arms and neck.

"Please, let me go", I started crying and tried to escape from his grip.

"Oh no sweetheart. If you will come with me, I will give you something very special", he smiled wickedly. He touched my cheeks and I tightly closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes, the burly man was on the floor, groaning. Oh my god!!!! I hit him!!!! I took this as an opportunity and turned only to run into a hard chest. I immediately took few steps back but the guy standing in front of me pulled me by my waist to him. He touched my cheeks and I looked up, I was shocked. It was the stalker, wearing full black, his swollen knuckles caressing my cheeks.

Ohhhh....

His beautiful chocolate brown eyes stared at my grey orbs. I couldn't move and what he said made my heart stop.

"You're mine", and he left me in front of my house.
