I'll Follow You Anywhere

Closets are for clothes

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I pulled it out to see an unknown number.

I told you to break up with him, why are you at his house?

I showed Eric who looked pissed off. He stood up and pulled me up dragging me into the office.

'Boys?' My. Rynstone said and Eric took my phone and handed it over.

'That freak is texting him now.'

'Alright,' Mum said and took a deep breath. 'We'll get you a new phone in the morning. With a new number.'

'Mum no one besides Eric had my number here. How could they get my number?'

'I don't know but we'll get you a new number and if they get that one then we're going to have to report this to the police, I'm sorry boys.'

'It's fine, I don't care.' Eric said and I felt like I was going to cry.

'What should we do?' I asked holding onto Eric's hand tightly. 'Should I reply?'

'What if we tell them that we did break up and just-'

'Sweetheart, you two are about as subtle as a bull in a tea shop.' Mum said and Eric looked a little disheartened.

'Did you bring the photos?' I looked at Mr. Rynstone and nodded. 'Bring them in and well assess if this is just stalking or if this is something very serious.' I felt my face turn bright red.

'There... There are some you really don't want to look at.' I muttered hiding behind Eric slightly.

This made our parents chuckle.

'Not ashamed son?' Mr. Rynstone asked and Eric pushed his chest out slightly.

'Of what? I have nothing to be ashamed of.'

'I'm not ashamed, just embarrassed. This isn't what I would like my parents or my boyfriends parents to walk in on let alone have hard copies off.' I said burying my face between Eric's shoulders.

'It's alright kiddo, go get them and bring them in.' I left the room and came back with the envelopes. I handed over the less raunchy ones first which they looked through and then they looked at the other ones.

'I feel dirty.' I muttered and Eric kissed my temple.

'Well, I'm impressed.' Dick said and I felt my face burn while Eric puffed his chest out a little a grin tugging at his lips. 'How do you even get on that angle?' My mum hit Dick on the arm, which made me smile. Mr. Rynstone cleared his throat and turned the photo's over.

'Well, if it was just the first envelope then it would just be a bit of stalking but this is... We really should go to the police.' He coughed.

'Can we just leave it? For like a week? If I get more texts or photos then we can go but... If this gets around school... and to the team...' I bit my lip looking up at Eric.

'It's not ideal, but I suppose we could wait a week.' Mr. Rynstone said and I felt sick.

'You boys should head to bed, it's late and you've got school in the morning.' Eric's mum said and we nodded, Eric leading me out and back to his room.

'We should get on top of this right away, another week could aggravate this guy or girl even more...'

'They're kids, let's just give them one more week of privacy.' Mum said but that's all I heard before we were back in Eric's room.

'I'm sorry.' I said standing by the door as Eric changed, I didn't look at him, just down at my feet.

'Why? This isn't your fault, you had nothing to do with this, it's some deranged person's game.' I felt him touch my shoulders and I flinched. 'Baby,' He said sounding hurt and I looked up to him through teary eyes.
