Part 7

As Lila looked at the pictures and messages on her

phone, she felt her heart pounding in her chest. She

couldn't believe that Jake, the quiet boy from her math

class, had turned out to be her stalker. The realization

nit her like a punch to the gut, and she felt a wave of feal

wash over her.

She was trapped in her aunt's house with a dangerous

man who was obsessed with her, and she had no idea

how to get out. She tried to stay calm and think of a

plan. She couldn't call the police or her friends, because

Jake had hacked into her phone and computer.

She felt vulnerable and helpless, and the thought of

being alone with him made her skin crawl.

She looked around the room, trying to find something,

anything, that she could use to defend against him. She

saw a metal lamp on the bedside table, and she picked it

up, holding it like a weapon

She took a deep breath, steeling herself for whatever

was going to happen next. She decided that she would

not go down without a fight.

She turned to face the door, holding the lamp tightly in

her hand. She prepared herself for the worst, and she

waited..

The sounds were all she could hear, the pounding of her

heart in her chest and the steady breathing of the man

behind the door. Her eyes were locked onto the door, and

every hair on her body was standing on end. She was

both terrified and furious.

She could feel the air in the room getting more and

more stifling with every passing minute. She wanted to

scream, but the fear of alerting Jake kept her silent. She

could feel his presence outside the door, could almost

picture him standing there, waiting for her to open it. She

felt trapped, like a mouse in a trap with no escape.

Tears started to well up in her eyes, and she gritted her

teeth, trying to hold them back. She didn't want to let

Jake see her cry, didn't want to give him the satisfaction

of knowing that he had broken her. But the fear was too

much, and the tears started to pour down her cheeks

despite her best efforts to hold them back.

She tried to steady her breathing, but the air in the room

felt thick and heavy, making it difficult to breathe. She

could feel her pulse racing and her hands were shaking

She didn't know how much longer she could keep this

up.

Finally, after what felt like hours but was probably only a

few minutes, she heard a sound outside the door. It was

a soft tap, like someone was knocking

Her heart raced, and she took a deep breath, preparing

herself for what was to come. She felt a cold sweat

break out on her forehead and her hands. She wanted to

run, but knew she couldn't. This was her only chance of

getting out alive

She took a deep breath and opened the door, ready for

anything. As the door slowly creaked open, she saw a

figure standing there, his face hidden in the shadows. It

was Jake.
