*Anastasia's POV*


'You think you can run from me, haha'


Tears escaped my eyes as I looked down at the text from Dan. Craig noticed and walked over to me wrapping an arm around my shoulders. Max stood in the same spot, too afraid to come near me while Craig was here.


'He's not going to hurt you again. I promise,' Craig comforted me. I didn't move. I was still staring at my screen which now had tear drops covering it.


'W-we need to go to the police...' Max said. I nodded this time but I was scared he would hurt me more if I did. I put my phone back in my pocket and dried my tears as much as I could.


'H-he'll hurt me more if we t-turn him in...' I voiced my paranoia.


'No he won't Tay. He's not coming near you again as long as I'm alive,' Craig said kissing my forehead, 'let's go down to the station now,' I shook my head.


'He's still o-out there,' I explained as tears continued to flow.


'We'll protect you,' Max said sympathetic.


'Who says you're going anywhere near her?' Craig growled. I pulled away from him.


'I w-want him to come with us,' Craig looked hurt, 'he is also willing to protect me. I-I'll feel safer if he's with u-us,' Craig nodded but didn't say a word. The three of us exited the bus and made our way towards the police station. Craig right beside me, holding me close and Max a few steps behind due to Craig's death looks.


We eventually found the building and I scurried inside hoping that the knowledge of cops around me would ease my fear. Oddly enough, I felt less safe in here. Craig took my hand again and we walked over to the desk; Max sat down and waited.


I gave as much information as I could before breaking down in tears. Then Craig told the officer the rest and showed the texts I had gotten. She said that they would keep a close profile on me and track Dan down. I agreed reluctantly still afraid that this will just make it worse. The moment we walked out of the station I received another text.


'Shouldn't have done that'


Of course it was from Dan. I grabbed Max and Craig and ran back to the buses as quick as I could, not bothering to show them the message. I tried to open the door of the ETF bus but it was locked. I quickly entered the code and burst through the door. Practically throwing Max and Craig into the bus I slammed the door shut.


'I should go...'Max stated awkwardly as Craig glared at him once again. I nodded and sat down on the couch. It was 2am by now and I was exhausted. I held my hands towards Craig for him to carry me to the bunks. Neither of us could be bothered changing as we wrapped ourselves in the blanket and each other's arms.


'You're safe with me,' he whispered in my ear just before he fell asleep. I tried my best to sleep but I couldn't. Even with Craig's arm firmly around me, I didn't feel at ease. He was still out there and watching my every move. What did I ever do to deserve this?


After much difficulty I finally fell into a not-so-peaceful sleep.


*Emily's POV the next morning*


Anastasia and Craig didn't come home last night. Well not while we were awake. I was worried. Craig ran out hurriedly after speaking to Tay and we still don't know what happened.


I turned out in my bunk to face TJ. He was so cute when he slept. I giggled under my breath and pecked his lips before getting up. It was only 7.30 so of course I was the only one awake. I noticed that Tay's and Craig's bunk curtain was closed so that meant they were here. I sighed, part of my worry fading.


I made myself a coffee and sat down to watch Soul Eater-my favourite anime. After a while TJ made an appearance and I giggled at his bed head. He put his finger to his lips and 'shh'ed me as he moved his fingers from his mouth to mine. I smacked his hand away but he caught my wrist and pulled me to him. I was about to kiss him when the moment was ruined.


'Ew, nope. Too much PDA!' Craig nearly screamed as he covered his eyes. I rolled my eyes and walked over to him.


'What happened?' I asked bluntly obviously referring to my best friend. He explained everything; including the incident with Max.


'So basically Dan is stalking her now and she's scared shitless,' he finished and TJ and I just stood there in shock. Oh my god...I don't even know what to say.


'I hope the cops catch that bastard soon,' TJ says from behind me. I nodded in agreement. We went and sat down on the couch as we were standing in front of the bunks. Craig told everyone else and Anastasia was still asleep.


We were all sitting in silence besides from the TV when we heard an ear-piercing scream.


...Tay...
