Chapter 4

“Thanks” he said

“No problem” I said

After a couple of weeks after the stalker incident I didn’t see the stalker again but the arguments with Aunt Kate and Uncle Mike increased and I couldn’t focus on my studies and every morning I used to see Aunt Kate with bruises everywhere around her body. It seems that the reason for Uncle Mike beating her was because of me, and I didn’t do anything

So, I told Aunt Kate that I would stay in a flat till things sorted out between the two she said no at first but I requested her and finally she agreed

I started staying in the flat and told Yuki about it

She came for sleepovers many times as her parents were out of town

After her parents came back she stopped visiting me frequently

Hiroshi and I used to text, call, and meetup with each other and I even told him my current address

Eventually I started developing feelings for Hiroshi and we became very close

But one night...

I was sleeping peacefully when I heard banging sounds coming from my front door

I woke up to the sounds and I got so scared. I didn’t know what to do so I called Hiroshi and told him to come fast as possible as he lived nearby but while I was talking to Hiroshi the person who was banging the door stopped banging and I could hear there person taking to someone like they were on a call. I thought that maybe the plan of whatever they planned was canceled and that the person in the other side of the line was telling the person outside the door

But I was so wrong

The banging started even more now and I got more and more scared I felt like the door was about to break because I heard he person kicking too

But somehow I had the confidence to go and check who was the person outside

When I saw the person my heart dropped

It was the stalker he same guy who had met me outside my school gate

I told Hiroshi to come faster but the banging got way too much and the door was nearly about to break

Then I heard my neighbors, and then I heard the watchman coming up the stairs, and I got a relief and thought that the stalker would get caught

But as soon as that exact moment the door banged open and I was so shocked that I couldn’t even move a inch

I fell to the ground and tried to crawl to my room

But he goes my arm very tightly and pulled me to him

Then he covered my eyes with his hands and then the unexpected happened

He kissed me!
