Night Star.

The night my girl I muttered under my breath as I opened the door to the house. Carter called my name "Cal there's a package for you it has no sender's information though." Carter stated as he scratched his head as he passed it over to me I quickly opened the package. It was a letter I opened it and it only said: "Someone was mistaken I was easy to be rid of." I gave it to Carter "Some fucker wants to prank around." Carter just looked confused "It's not even sports prank week until summer?"

I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed the paper and I took it to my room and left it by the study table.

I walked out of Lily's to catch some air since tomorrow was Saturday and it was the showcase. I had to do well I have to.

My heart raced as I read the message o my phone. I tried to maintain my composure, not wanting anyone to notice me. With a forced smile, I joined the celebration in Lily's, where Ryan and Riley are enjoying the night. Turns out Riley is Ryan's twin I found out as I and Ryan were in the library and she shouted "You motherfucker." And ran to hit Ryan with her bag to which I didn't partake in stopping them one thing you know you never do is meddle when siblings are fighting if I get mad when someone stops me imagine others.

As I reenter the lively atmosphere of the bar, I can't help but feel a sense of unease. I tried to discreetly glance around, searching for any signs of who might have sent the messages. It couldn't have been the same person from back then. Fuck im losing my mind. I keep glancing around to try to see who could've possibly sent it.

I looked at Ryan and he motioned his head towards the left to come with him. As soon as we parted from everyone else. Concern filled his eyes as he asks, "Hey, is everything okay? You seem a bit off."

I hesitated for a moment contemplating whether or not should i tell him. I quickly took a deep breath "Ryan remembers freshman year the stalking and messages their back. Someone warned me to stay away, a few years ago and then they disappeared but their back and they've been harassing me with letters and stuff."

Ryan's expression darkens, and for a moment I couldn't breathe scared if he would even believe me. Before I realized he pulled me into a hug.

"Oh Cam, fuck I'm sorry this is happening again."

As the night unfolded, I couldn't shake the feeling I was being watched.

He promised not to tell Riley in exchange for him taking me back to the dorm.

We took an Uber and added two stops one for Rliey and one for us since he said he had business to take care of around the area.

As we walked back to my complex he stopped in his tracks and took a deep breath before he spoke "Promise if it gets worse you'd tell me right?" I nodded but he continued to speak "I think I'm falling for someone Cami but I don't think they'd reciprocate the same feelings?" I stopped and looked at him "How would you know if you didn't ask?" I asked him. "Because it was supposed to be fun no strings attached and you know what type of relationship I came out of." I pressed my hand on his shoulder "That has been months since it occurred plus you're allowed to have fun and have a rebound but if this person means something to you at least express yourself and don't drown yourself in the what if okay?" He nodded before saying goodnight as I entered the building.
