It had been over 18 hours since the movie premiere and Stella left this morning around 4, she woke me up before she left and we said our goodbyes. This will be the first time I've stayed at the apartment by myself because we've always either been filming together or just out of state, and the country, so I am a bit nervous.

I texted some friends and asked if they wanted to hang out because I really didn't want to be alone but they all flew back out to LA so I guess I'm stuck here all alone. Great. Not scared at all. Nope.

It was now around ten and I keep hearing noises and it was freaking me out, I'd already convinced myself there is a man hiding in my closet with a knife so I can't go in my room so the only safe place is the living room which is where I keep hearing the noises so at this point I'm accepting my fate.

I posted a picture on my Instagram saying goodbye; as any sane person totally would; basically saying that I'm hearing things and Stella left me alone so I'm ultimately going to die. I turned off my phone and tried to watch TV to drown out the noise when I heard my phone ding and it scared the fuck out of me, I practically jumped on the coffee table.

Thea
yea totally, for sure. perfectly fine.

Jack
why do you think you're gonna die😂

Thea
if there was a man hiding in your closet with a knife you'd think you were definitely going to die.

Jack
Thea, I bet you that there is absolutely no one in your closet.

Thea
you don't know that.

Jack
have you left your apartment since before Stella left?

Thea
no.

Jack
have you seen anyone walk into your apartment?

Thea

Jack

Thea

I sat on my couch for a good fifteen minutes with a knife under a blanket waiting for Jack to get here. I heard my door open and immediately jumped off the couch ready to attack just in case it wasn't Jack 

"Okay, put the knife down, crazy lady," Jack says with his hands up in defense, I set down the knife on the table and run toward him "Thank the heavens above," I say hugging him 

"Now go see if I'm gonna die," I say pushing him toward my room "Wow, real nice, what if I die?" he says grabbing the knife off the table 

"I'll be at your funeral," I say and he laughs "Thank you, that's so nice," He says sarcastically while walking toward my room 

He opened the door and stepped in, I didn't go with him you know in case there was actually someone, I couldn't see him but I heard him scream so I ran into my room and saw him die out laughing 

"So not funny," I say crossing my arms as he continues to laugh "You should have seen your face," He says standing in front of my open closet door 

"I hate you," I say rolling my eyes "Oh come on, that was funny," He says walking toward me 

"Was there anyone in there?" I ask and gives me a weird look "If there was someone in there we'd be dead, the door is literally wide open," He says staring at me blankly 

"Yea, psh, I asked as a joke," I said before walking out of my room "Are you okay now?" He asks following me out into the living room 

"I think," I say squinting my eyes "Want me to check Stella's room," He says knowing my facial expressions all too well

"Please," I say with an innocent smile "Of course," he says before walking toward Stella's room, he was in there for about two minutes before coming out "All clear," He says setting the knife down on the kitchen counter 

"Thank you so much," I say walking toward him "Is there anything else you need me to check before I leave?" He asks 

"No, but would it be wrong," I start to say but cut myself off "nevermind," I say shaking the thought out of my head 

"Just ask," he says and I think about it for a second before asking him "Will you stay here with me tonight?" I ask hopeful 

"I mean I guess if you really want me to," He says sarcastically "Actually nevermind, I hope there is someone here willing to kill me," I say playfully 

"Shut up, I'll stay," he says rolling his eyes "Great, now you'll most likely die first," I say with a smile and he laughs 

"We aren't gonna die, Thea," he says walking into my living room and I trail behind him "You know that," I shrug as we sit down on my couch 

We went back and forth for a while with me being convinced we were gonna die and him reassuring me that we are gonna be fine. I let him have the last word about that. We watched New Girl, just like we use to and he actually told me that it's become one of his favorite shows and he watches it all the time now, which I'm proud of. 

We shared the same blanket, making sure not to get too close but also not making it awkward. I actually had a lot of fun just hanging out with him and talking like we did before you know we broke up. 

I couldn't help but think what our life would be like if we had stayed together, I imagine it'd be perfect but I also know that's not the case. It would probably be filled with argument after argument because I'd be so paranoid he'd treat me the way Chris did even though I knew he never would, it's just I've only been shown the love I thought I deserved and it was by a cheating, manipulative, son of a bitch so it definitely comes with some baggage.
