In love with a murderer

Chapter 18

Comment! :)

Fyi, I know this isn't that good but I needed to get it out so it was written in a few hours 

Maya's POV

"I want cuddles" Carina mumbles half asleep the next morning

Any other day I would have to say no because we always end up being late, but we surprisingly woke up early today, so we had to time to lie there doing nothing for a while.

"I refuse to believe that you're the same person that used to wake up at 5 in the morning every day" I tell her as she nuzzles her head into my shoulder

"Why would I wake up early and get out of bed when I have a gorgeous girlfriend to cuddle with?" she asks, keeping her eyes closed

I chuckle at her statement before responding, "We cuddle all day, I don't think you ever really let go of me"

"Good, that's just how I like it"

I let her lie there for a while, not letting her fall back to sleep as I know how hard it would be to wake her back up again, before finally getting her to get up.

After a while of us slowly starting to get ready, I go downstairs for a while, leaving Carina to shower

"So, you think it's a person?" my mom asks, her and I sitting watching tv

"Yeah, I know it's not Jack because he's very dead but what if his friends are coming after me? I know it sounds ridiculous but it's possible, right?"

"Yeah, I guess it is" she sighs, rubbing her forehead, seemingly just as stressed as we were "Well, there's still a chance that it was just coincidence that you saw them a few times, so we won't assume the worse until we know more of what's happening"

"They'll want me dead," I tell her, tearing up from the stress, we had to leave for school in just over an hour meaning we were going to have to walk about 20 minutes there with someone possibly following us, it was terrifying

"Ok, well, don't walk through the forest, ok? if you stick to the streets where other people are then you'll be safer"

"Yeah, I know"

"Wait, I can drop you off this morning because I'm not doing anything but I'm out tonight, so you'll have to walk back," she tells me

"And it'll be dark because we're staying late tonight, stupid extra work"

"I know, just keep your phone on and text me when you get back ok?"

"Yeah, I will"

"Have you told Carina what you think it is?"

"Mhm, but I don't think she understands what they'll do to me and that they won't give a shit if she's watching," I tell her, looking down in my lap and fiddling with a ring I had on my index finger

We sat talking for a while, it mainly consisted of me panicking my ass off while my mom was trying to hide the fact she was scared too, let's just say her act fooled nobody.

When we were eventually ready, she drove the both of us to school, saying goodbye before driving away, leaving Carina and I to look around for a while, just checking nothing was there

"Come on" Carina sighs, taking my hand and pulling me inside, at least we had a few hours knowing we were somewhat safe now

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"What's up with you two, I've never seen you look so depressed?" Vic chuckles, gesturing to us on the opposite side of the table to her

"We're being stalked" Carina deadpans, not in the mood for messing about
