It's been about a week since Liz has moved in with me. Everyday has been heaven. I cannot say how much I love having her by my side once again. The first few days were amazing, we couldn't keep our eyes off of each other, but now, she seems to be more attached to her phone, looking at it with a blank face. She also looks out the windows as if if she looked away, something would pop up. I don't know what's going on but it has been giving me some kind of anxiety. I just wish she would tell me.
We take our seats at the table, settling down for dinner. I look at her, while she looks down, refusing to make eye contact with me. "Liz."
"Yes?"
"Look at me Liz." She looks up quickly, her eyes worried. "Liz, are you alright?"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine."
I sigh. "Liz, we both know that's not true. something is up, I know it."
"I-it's nothing, really."
"Tell me the truth Liz."
"It's nothing."
"Liz," I stand up, walking to her. I kneel in front of her, putting her hands in mine. "You've been on edge for the last three days. Something is up, I can see it. Why can't you just tell me?"
"Because if I do, he will know."
"Who?" She shakenly holds up her phone to my face, revealing text messages from Chase. I take the phone from her hands, reading the texts.
I'm waiting for you.
You belong to me Liz.
Come home Liz.
Remember the promises.
The last text sent chills down my spine. I remember the promises, the promises he forced her to say. He needs to be stopped. I Will make him stay away from her, forever.
"Liz. Don't worry. You keep living your life, I will take care of him." I stood up, walking away out the front door.
"Wait!" I turn back. "What are you gonna do?"
"What I must to make sure the love of my life is safe." I shut the door behind me, quickly making a call to Izzy. "Hello?"
"Izzy. I need your help."
"Ugh, what is it now?"
"It's chase, he's back."
"What?! How?!"
"I have no idea."
"I thought he was in prison, and wouldn't get out for two more years."
"That's what I thought too. He must've gotten out early, and he's already stalking Liz."
"This is insane. I'll try to help, but I don't know what I can do against a crazy sociopath."
"We can try our best." And with that, I hung up. This is gonna be an adventure. Time to start a new chapter in my life.
I look out into the distance for a few, before getting a call from an unknown number. I ignore it, putting my phone back in my pocket, taking in the cool air. My phone rings once again, it's the unknown caller. Out of annoyance I answer it. "Hello?"
"So, I see you're on to me."
"Chase."
"She will be mine."
"She is my girlfriend."
"She's delusional, she knows who she really loves."
"Yeah, and that's me."
"She is mine."
"You don't deserve her, after what you did to her."
"She is mine."
"She will never go back to you, even if you pay her."
"She is mine."
"You had your chance, now leave her alone."
"Or what?"
"Or I'll have to make you."
"She is mine."
"She loves me!"
"She's Mine!"
