    Jerry loved Mina. Her eyes, her lips, her hair, her laugh and so so much more. He just couldn't get over her. He loved to take sweet pictures of her, especially when she was sleeping. The only problem was .. she had a restraining order on him after she found out he had been hacking her socials, following her around and even sending pictures of herself to her. She was terrified of him and wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. He had gone so far off the line and began to break into her house when she was gone and asleep. He loved to touch the things she could have possibly touched throughout the day. It was lovely for him. That was until he went into her room to take new photos and saw a man laying beside her. Jerry walked up to the bed very slowly, making sure he wouldn't wake them and stared down at the man holding her close. It should've been him. It should've been him holding her, kissing her, touching her. This angered him but really really angered him. He was breathing heavily and balled his hand into a fist. He was going to make her learn her lesson, if he can't have her ... no one can. 

    On the other hand, Mina was happy to have finally found someone who loved her for her especially someone who wasn't as weird and creepy as Jerry. She suspected that someone from the apartment complex, most likely the landlord, had been going into her apartment when she wasn't home and it caused her to think about moving. She went to her new boyfriend and spoke to him about her concerns so he offered to stay with her for a couple days a week, just to make sure she felt safe. Jerry noticed. He noticed her new "phase".. which only he calls him that, wouldn't be there Thursdays or Fridays. He saw that as an opportunity and began to plan things out. 

    A month had passed and Mina hadn't received any messages from Jerry, she hadn't seen him following her to work despite the restraining order and definitely hadn't been worried about him either. She was happy he had realized what he was doing was wrong and had moved on from her and his weird obsession .. or so she thought. One particular Thursday she had just finished her shower after such a long and extra day at work, she was happy to finally rest in her bed. She got under her covers, closing her eyes and falling asleep quicker than usual. But was awoken by the sudden pressure against her mouth and nose, she looked up and saw him. She saw Jerry looking down at her with his mouth warped into a sinister smile. This made her fight him off even more but she suddenly got lightheaded and couldn't keep her eyes open. 

  Jerry stared at her unconscious body that was tied to a chair. He stared till she awoke and smiled widely once she looked up at him. This smile soon faded when he realized that she started to try and squirm her way out of the rope he tied her up with, he walked closer to her and kneeled down to caress her face. 

"Mina~ don't try to get away from me .. we're meant to be together forever .. you said you wanted to marry me, you're not taking that back are you?" He said, smiling softly. 

  She grunts and moved his hand away with her head. "Get off. That was before you started following me everywhere and tried to control my life Jerry! the hopes I once had for this relationship is gone." She looked at him with hatred. She didn't even care if he resulted to hurting her, as long as he understood she would never ever be his again. 

"Let me go Jerry .." She sighed softly and looked at him with a tired and fed up look on her face. He stares at her, blinking rapidly and stands up quickly to turn away so he could hide his tears. He sniffled softly but he soon began to chuckle and then laugh loudly. 

"Oh darling~ if you ever thought you had a choice here, you were wrong. You're mine whether you like it or not. You're going to love me whether you want to or not." He walked closer to her, lifting her head by her chin and grinning at her. "So silly. I'll be back baby. Don't go anywhere" He said as he walked to the basement door "Oh wait .. you can't" He chuckled to himself and made his way up the stairs to his kitchen. 

   She looked down, crying softly. She regretted every single thing she has ever done with him, she wished she had never met him. If she hadn't this would've never happened. She shook her head and realized she had to get out of these restraints and call the police, then he'd be locked up long enough for her to change everything about her and even leave the city. She prepared herself and started to squirm around, pushing against the rope with her wrists. She whimpered in pain but after a couple minutes she was able to free her hands and unbind her ankles, quickly grabbing the knife he had set down and got ready for him to come in. But he didn't. She slowly made her way to the stairs and very gently creaked up them. Just then a police officer opened the door, with their gun and flashlight in hand causing her to drop her knife immediately and put her hands up. 

   "I-i'm the victim .. please he held me hostage and I hurt my wrists" She gulped and showed her wrists to them. They pulled her out the basement and brought her outside, calling an ambulance for her. She tilted her head at the officer who had found her and asked how did they know she was there but she then realized she had her emergency bracelet still on. She thought she had taken it off before she got in bed but she was too exhausted to remember to do so. Seems like the rope had accidentally pressed on the small button the first time she tried escaping. 

  She still wonders what would have happened to her if she did take her bracelet off that night.
