Emma's pov:
That stupid Jeremy had still not replied back. I could not lose grades because of him so today I decided I would ask proff. Heinz to change my partner. As I opened my main gate to leave my apartment I saw a bouquet of white tulips lying on my mat with a letter attested to it.
"My dear Emma, what happened the other night was my fault. I confessed to you about my feelings without giving you a chance to know me, I realise it now. I know my absence is making it difficult for you since you have to do my part of the project too, I know how badly you want to be an architect so I will not be a problem for your grades. I will return soon and give you a brief chance to know me and love me. I hope you will wait till then, my sweet pea.
~Your J"
'Is it sweet or creepy?' I thought to myself. Since he said he would be back soon and also because he was good in the subject I thought I could wait for him to return for a little longer.
I told Maya and Henry about everything and they suggested I should stay away from him and get a new partner but something inside of me was not yet ready for it, I wanted to wait for Jeremy.
That day after the class I stayed at the library to read some more about Zaha Hadid. It was already 10 pm and the streets were almost empty. I could feel someone following me. I was scared to my guts. I immediately took out my phone and sent my current location to Maya, Henry, and my parents. I booked a cab to get home sooner and safer. I was walking when a drunk old man walked past me and he started catcalling me and leaned in for a kiss, I was terrified but before anything could happen a guy around my age came in and stabbed him in the stomach three times. THREE TIMES. I was shocked. I looked up to see who it was and saw Jeremy standing there.
"What were you doing this late at night? Don't you know it's unsafe?" He yelled
I was so scared and shocked that my eyes started watering, my vision become a blur and I started crying. "Please don't kill me, please" I cried
"Shhhh sweet pea. I would never hurt you, I'm here to protect you. Stop crying come on, lemme walk you home." He tried to comfort me.
After 15 mins of walking, I finally gathered the courage to speak something.
"Yo-you k-killed that man. Yo-you stabbed him in the st-stomach. Thr-three times-s." I stutter
"Don't stutter Emma" He said with a stern voice. "What I did was to protect you and I would do it over if that meant that you would be safe."
"BUT YOU CAN'T KILL SOMEONE JERE!" I yelled
"Jere? Is that my nickname? That's cute. I like it" He answered. Totally ignoring my question.
We reached my apartment and he asked me to go inside while he watches. I entered my house and closed every door and every window. I pulled all the curtains and cried in my bed. I just witnessed a murder. This was too much. I could never see blood, it always made me uneasy and to watch a person getting killed in front of my eyes was too much. I felt sick to the stomach so I decided to skip class the next day. My phone was constantly buzzing in the morning which woke me up. I checked my phone and saw messages from everyone but most were from Jeremy. At the same time, I heard a knock on my door. I opened the door to check only to find no one. On the floor, there was a plastic bag filled with stuff and a note of course. I opened the note to see what it said.
'I think yesterday's event made you sick sweet pea. Don't worry you don't have to be scared, it will all be fine, have some food and don't go back to sleep.
~Love J'
Hmm.. smells good but I'll have it later. I feel like sleeping more right now. I woke up at 1 pm and ate the food "J" sent me. I kept the note with the other ones in my drawer. Then I took a shower and dressed comfy to visit the library and get some work done.
