I studied at the library and after 4 hours, I was done. I packed my belongings and headed home. Unlike other days I could not feel someone watching me, maybe Jeremy had finally given up and found something better to do. 'What a shame, such a cute guy turned out to be psycho. I might have gone out with him if he had approached me normally.' I thought to myself.
 
I reached home and unlocked the door and as I entered the living room I could smell something delicious. I looked over to the kitchen and saw the food was already prepared. I was confused, then I heard the sound of the shower. I went to my room and saw Jeremy coming out of my bathroom. He looked at me and smiled. 

"You're back" he said
"What the fuck are you doing in my house??" I yelled.
"Language Emma!" He said, completely ignoring my question. "Take a shower and come out quickly. The food is ready."
"NO! How did you enter my house and what are you doing here?" I yelled again as my eyes went towards 3 suitcases.
"And why are there three suitcases lying here? What the fuck is going on!!?" I said, completely annoyed and shocked. 

As I finished my sentence he came near and caged me. His eyes turned from sweet to dangerous and in a deep husky voice he said
"I don't want to hear a single bad word from your mouth again. You understand." Then suddenly he again went from dangerous to sweet and smiled while saying "Now go take a shower and quickly come out. I want to have dinner with you."

What is wrong with this man? Is he bipolar or what? I was a little scared by his behavior so I obeyed what he said because I really didn't want to be killed. 

After the shower I wore my comfy pyjamas and a tank top. I went to the kitchen to get water and saw him cooking.
"Oh you're ready, the dinner is done, take a seat I'll bring it to you." He said 
I nodded and sat at the kitchen counter. He served us red sauce pasta and tuna fish. Guess the stalker didn't know I was a vegetarian. I moved the fish farther away and he noticed that.
"You don't like fish?"
"I'm a vegetarian."
"Oh crap I forgot!" 
"hmm" 
"Let me grab something else."
"No it's okay you can sit."
He smiled as I said this. I opened my mouth to speak something but then decided against it because I didn't know how he would react. 
"What is it?"
"Oh nothing."
still scared
"SPEAK." He said in a rather ordered way 
"W-why are th-those bags lying th-there?" I stuttered
"I told you. DO NOT STUTTER IN FRONT OF ME. I don't want you to be scared of me and those are your bags, you're coming with me."
"What? No! I am not going anywhere with you, I don't even know you."
"And that's exactly why we are moving away together sweetheart. I want you to know me. Then eventually you'll realize how much you love me."
"SHUT UP! I DON'T LOVE YOU. I NEVER WILL. YOU ARE CRAZY MAN JEREMY. YOU NEED THERAPY. And if you think taking my life away from me will make me love you then you're wrong, I will never think of you as anyone more than an asshole who kidnapped me"
I shouted which made him angry. He banged his hand loudly on the table and stood up. He grabbed my hair and said
"You do not call me crazy and you will love me." angrily. I was scared to my soul but I still pretended to be unaffected. I put on a brave mask and said "You need therapy." once again to spite him even more. He got so pissed that he took my lamp and threw it on the ground. I was startled, the lamp was also gifted to me by my deceased father when I was very young. I looked at him and then at the lamp and I started crying. It was my dad's last sign and this bastard had destroyed it. After the death of my birth parents, I was adopted by a young couple and they brought me from India to the U.S. I loved my adoptive parents but I missed the things I used to do in India. The only Indian essence I had here was Maya and my lamp which my dad gave me. Whenever I felt lonely or scared, I would turn on the lamp and feel like my papa was with me. I got so emotional that I started crying.
