Secret Admirers //one direction//

Chapter 31

Tracey catches up in the college canteen. I was sitting alone, thinking about S.A's letter again. Whenever I'm alone I keep thinking about it.

"So did you talk to Louis?" Tracey asks which pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Yes. We're good. But I don't think he is." I say her, immediately remembering that I had torn Eleanor's letter.

"You seem lost..." Tracey remarks. "By the way what's going on between you and Harry? I've heard that you guys are 'kind of' dating but I'm not sure so thought of asking you directly. Moreover I saw you both exit the house together, in the morning..."

"We both like each other, you know. We spend time together, care about each other-"

"But he has he asked you out yet?" She cuts me in between.

"No and that's not even important. We know that we are there for each other. I need to talk to you about something else, Trace..." I say.

"What?" She asks.

"The secret admirer"

"Wow. He's still there?"

"Of course"

"Okay now I'm thrilled again! What about him??" She says, excitedly.

"He has stopped sending parcels. Instead he has started sending love letters" I say.

"Your bad. No more expensive gifts" She laughs. "Its serious, Trace!" I remark.

"Perry, tell me something. Why are you so obsessed with the secret admirer? If he's sending you gifts, be happy with that. If he's sending you love letters, just read and throw them. Simple. Stop thinking about this pervert, dude!" Tracey says.

"And what if he knows something that nobody else is supposed to know, apart from me?" I say.

"What does he know?"

"He has written 'Dear Lily' in that letter. But nobody knows that name apart from my sister, my parents and myself" I say.

"That can simply be a coincidence"

"Everything is not coincidence, Trace"

"You're overthinking it. Okay tell me, when were you last called by that name?"

"Six years ago. When my sister was alive, only she used to call me by that name"

"So you really think that a person is stalking you since six years or maybe even more than that?" Tracey says.

"That's impossible right?"

"Of course that's impossible! Okay now please stop thinking about it. I wanted to know something. Its personal." Tracey says, pulling her chair and sitting closer.

"Yeah, say."

"It's about that lawyer's car blackmailer"

"What about him?"

"That day, at the party, when I found your phone, I saw that the blackmailer had sent you the video. I'm literally confused. Why will he send a proof against Liam? By the way, is he still blackmailing you with the car? But what does he want? Why is he blackmailing you?" She asks too many questions together.

Should I tell Tracey that it's actually the blackmailer who has saved her? I was just a bait for the blackmailer to bring out the truth. He was behind everything, with me as my support. Without his help, nothing could've been possible. Infact he had blackmailed me only to make me collect proves against Liam. But without asking him, I shouldn't tell Tracey any of this.
