20:50 (Friday)

"A-Andrew..?" I said in a shaky voice

"The one and only~" he said

"What do you want..." I said trying to sound confident

"I want to see you." He said

"N-no. I don't ever want to see you again." I said, starting to feel my heart rate go up.

How'd he get my number?

"Oh~ I wasn't asking for your permission~" he said simply

I hung up and quickly blocked the number.

No...no...NO. I... I thought this nightmare was finally over...

I could feel my legs start to shake and buckle.

No. He can't do anything. He doesn't know where I live. He doesn't know where I work... he's just bluffing...I'll be fine. I've just got to be really careful for a while. I just have to wait until this blows over.

I tried to pull myself together but I could feel tears threatening to pour out my eyes. I took a couple deep breaths to calm myself down.

I was grateful I had my pills on me. I took them and let myself recover for a while.

I finally decided to walk out of the room. I noticed it was 20:55 (8:55 pm) so I decided I would start to get ready to leave.

It's okay...I'll be fine. He's just trying to scare me.. he's just trying to manipulate me like before.

I was in the middle of grabbing my stuff when I felt someone shake me.

"Hey? Y/n?"

I turned quickly to see Clay shaking my arm.

"You okay? I called your name but you didn't answer. You just walked out the room and started grabbing your stuff." He said with worry in his eyes.

"Is everything okay?"  He asked after I didn't respond

"Y-yeah! I'm just tired. My shift is over so I'm going to head home now." I said trying my best to give him a reassuring smile while still grabbing my back and keys

"Okay.. I'll give you a ride." He said while walking towards the front door to get his keys

"No, You still need to rest. It's okay, I'll take the bus!" I said trying to sound cheerful.

"No I'm fine!" He insisted

"Clay. You have to rest. Or else you're going to feel worse tomorrow." I said and started to walk towards him.

"I'll be fine." I said, but it felt like I was trying to convince myself more than him.

He complied and we said our goodbyes. George was still upstairs editing so I didn't want to bother him.

I left the house and made my way to the bus stop. After a while I made it to my apartment building.

I made it to my room and went to unlock the door. As soon as I opened it and got into the house, I fell on my knees.

It was a weird feeling. I felt like I wanted to cry because of the fear. But at the same time, I felt too exhausted. I was emotionally and physically exhausted.

I was too tired to cry.

I got up and made my way to my room. I started to slowly get ready for bed.

I'll be fine

I kept telling myself that. But there was another voice in my head telling me otherwise.

Would I really be okay? Hes capable of doing terrible things...Things I never want to remember again.

And then. I thought of something I never should have even considered.

What if..

What if I just go with him.

If I go with him, Ill stop being afraid of him right? I'll marry him and be a stay at home housewife. He's rich so I can stop working. The only reason I'm working is to stay alive. I don't have anything to live for, as depressing as it might sound. I don't have family here, I dont have dreams, I don't have goals. I'm just surviving. So I'll just graduate and leave it at that. I'd learn to love him. I'd be able to end this fear. I'd live happily with him...

Then, as if to prevent me from this thought, a picture of Clay came into my mind.

Clay...

The voice kept coming back.

he never liked me and never will. We're just friends. Just like I am with Zack. I don't know if I'll be able to talk to them after that though...I really don't want to let them go and forget them but there is no way Andrew is going to let me keep talking to them.

I'd have to say goodbye.

A part of me kept telling me to shut up. It kept telling me I was insane. But there was another part of me that believed this was the best option. I was fighting with myself.

Was this the only option?

Sleep soon caught up with me and my thoughts. I slept not knowing what to expect from the coming days. All I could do was brace myself for it.
