Lurking Underneath

Chapter 6: Getting Paranoid

Bayley POV: I kept tossing and turning but i can't stop think about the damn note as it had familiar handwriting and i know it belonged to my step brother. "Baby. Baby. Wake up please!" "Mercedes what's wrong!" I said as i looked at her. "There's someone by the door!" She said just looking at the door and i had seen someone twisting the doorknob so i immediately ran to the door but before i could i saw the same man with the black hoodie and cap grab me and pin me to the floor as i looked up i saw that it was my step-brother and his friends "Baby!" I had looked over to see Mercedes about to be raped but as i could do nothing but just watch my girlfriend being raped in front of me "I TOLD YOU SHE'D BE MINE! I TOLD YOU SHE'D BE MINE!-" "BABY! BABY! BABY-" "Baby! wake up!" "NO!" I shouted as i shot up in bed. "Where...He...I..." "Baby your okay. I'm right here." i felt Mercedes hold me "Baby." I said as wrapped my arms around her trying to calm down. After a while of me trying to catch my breath i had finally calmed down and i felt her lift my head and wiping my tears away "Baby what happened in your nightmare?" Mercedes asked me. 

After i had finished telling her my nightmare i had seen her crying "Babe i believe you. But i just think it's getting a bit more scary because this is now a second note within a month that we've gotten possibly from the same person. Why don't we get some sleep and try to relax okay maybe we'll talk to someone that we can trust tomorrow morning about this okay." she said as i felt her hold me and massaging my head trying to calm me down as i was still shaken up. "Okay. Sure" I said as lied back down and i felt Mercedes pull me into her in a protective way and i slowly felt my eyes getting heavier and i just fell asleep knowing she'd be with me. *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* my eyes had flung open to the sound of the alarm going off and i had suddenly jolted awake "Babe. It's okay i'm right here." I heard my girlfriend say to me as i felt her kissing my head and i was calmed down by her scent. "Come on. Let's get ready for the show okay." She said as i felt her start getting up from the bed as i saw it was 2:30AM and i forgot our flight was at 4:30AM. After we got showered and ready we both had taken the same flight and sat next to each other as we both had sat down i swear i had seen the same person from the restaurant and my dream "Baby! Hey!" I had jolted as i felt Mercedes grip my arm "Y-Yeah what?" I said as i was trying to concentrate on my girlfriend "Babe what are you looking at?" She asked me like a mother would her child "I thought i saw the guy from last night." I told her almost angry at her. 

The whole plane ride to California was very quiet as i felt Mercedes fall asleep on my shoulder and i felt sleepy as well so i just put my head on hers and had just gotten to sleep until i saw a light flash really quick as if someone had taken a picture of us, but as i sat up it was still dark in the plane so i knew someone must have. "Baby. Are you okay?" I heard Mercedes say in a sleepy raspy voice so i guess i must have woken her up "I just thought i saw something babe." I said as i just rested my head back and i felt her nuzzle her head into my arm, so i lifted my arm and she rested her head into my chest and i held her as comfortably as i could due to the seats being very closely together and i kissed her on her head as i leaned my head against the window and got some shut eye. I had woken up to the plane landing and i saw we were at Los Angles International Airport as we had a show at So-FI Stadium in 2 days but we had to be there for live events before the Friday Night Show. So we had checked into the hotel near the stadium and just relaxed for a while as we decided to take a nap to catch up on some proper sleep.

We later had done both shows and we had Thursday off before Smackdown and we were both exhausted as we had not really eaten anything except for a large French vanilla coffee and a ham and cheese biscuit. So as we gotten to the hotel room and  wanted to fall asleep as we had gotten there at about close to 1 in the morning but thankfully we had Thursday off today so we could sleep in if we really wanted too. So we both had finished showering together and just laid on the bed watching Netflix peacefully when she had gone to the bathroom "I'm going to brush my teeth so we can go to bed okay. I know you're tired." Mercedes said as she saw me yawning every couple of minutes. I just nodded sleepily while trying to stay awake so she went to go brush her teeth as i was trying to watch TV to stay awake but after a few minutes i had knocked out.

Sasha POV: I had just gotten out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth to see Pamela asleep so i covered Pamela and got into bed as i turned off the TV and lamp, and lied down slowly to not wake Pamela up as i pulled the covers over me. As i was laying down i kept thinking about how Pamela has been acting lately and i really don't blame her at all but i keep thinking about how to tell her that i have been receiving text messages from the same number these past couple of days and i am starting to be really afraid as my phone was lighting up again so i looked at it and it was the same number that had been texting me and was now calling me at fucking 2:30AM and i was just super annoyed that i just turned off my phone and went to sleep knowing that now i have to tell Pamela in the morning. I had woken up to find myself sleeping in Pamelas' arms as she was holding me in a protective way "Baby?" I asked her. "Hey. You okay?" She asked me with concern in her voice as i felt her stroking my head "Yes baby. I'm Fine. What happened?" I asked her as i sat up. "You were screaming in your sleep. And you were begging me to come save you but no matter how many times i tried waking you up you wouldn't budge let alone even open your eyes. So i just sat up and held you till you stopped screaming." She said as she was looking at me. 

"I've never had that happened before." I said as i looked at her and then at my phone which was still off. I decided that now would be a good time to show her the text messages as well as let her listen to the voicemails "Babe. I have to tell you what's been happening with me for a couple of days now. I've been getting at least 15 calls and voicemails a day and about 20 text messages everyday for the past 2 days now." I said as i turned on my phone to let her see what i was talking about. It was about half an hour before  she finally said something "Babe. This is all from the same number. I think we should tell the cops to make them aware." She said and she was right, so i just nodded. We had gotten dressed and headed to the police station because we were both just sick and tired of this crap, so after we had filed a report and now they were involved. We had then went to go eat and enjoy our day off to just forget what happened before we went to go to the iPhone store to get new phones and numbers as that's what the cops had said for us to do and that it should take care of the problem. We both had gotten iPhone 11's but in different colors as she got a blue one and i got a red one and we both had everything transferred but we had new numbers so now we can not worry about that number texting me or Pamela ever again. I hope.
