This was the first time in ages that I got the whole place to myself. I was thinking of what I should do and suddenly a stone wrapped in the paper came flying from the window. I unwrapped the paper and it read

'im closer to getting you cupcake. Be ready!'

fuck this can't be happening. I ran around the house closing all the windows and doors. I was very scared and at that time I was missing my mom. All I could think of was my parents. I went to the living room and dialed their number on the landline. As it was ringing I was thinking of what I was going to say to them. I was at a loss for words. My mother picked up the call and in her angelic voice she said "Hello"

It had been months since I last heard her voice. Tears started streaming down my face but I didn't speak a word. I couldn't.

"Hello? Who is this?"
"Emma? Is that you?"
I really broke down at this
"Emma if it is you then hold on sweetheart, we will find you soon. Don't worry about me and your father, we are fine. We won't let anything happen to you. Just stay strong my love."
I end the call, not being able to bear it anymore.

I was completely zoned out and distraught. While I was outhere enjoying with my boyfriend, my parents were worrying about there daughter. God knows how much they must've been suffering not knowing whether they'll be able to see their daughter again or not. I am such a pathetic daughter. I needed to them again. I will. Im sure Jeremy won't mind that. Speaking of jeremy. Where is he? It's 11pm now he has been out the whole day and has still not returned. Just as I was going to dial his number on the landline. I heard the doorbell. I would open the door but this could also be that x who sent me the letters so I peeped through the peephole and when I saw Jeremy's face I quickly answered the door only to find him in the arms of a girl?? He was fully wasted and the girl, well she looked young. She was wearing a shimmery black dress which could barely cover her ass. She looked at me like I was an alien.

"Who are you?" She asked me
"I should be asking you that question"
"Im Jeremy's girlfriend"
"You are what?"
"Kidding. Im just his friend" she said in a not so convincing tone. 
Anyways I dont have time for this. I need to take care of jeremy.
I sat him on the couch and gave him some lemon water. He drank it and looked at me. He didn't seem like a sloppy drunk. Our eyes met and he tried to kiss me but this wasnt the right time. I backed away and told him to stop. He immediately stopped. I stood up and he grabbed my arm. I turned towards him and asked him what he wanted.
"Strip" he said. My heart dropped and I felt numb. How could he ask me to do something like this. Alright he's drunk
"Jeremy I can't."
"STRIP!" he yelled and I again started crying I was feeling scared.
"Jeremy p-please stop" I cried but he didn't listen rather he walked towards me and started pulling my clothes.
"STOP!" I shouted and him back so hard that he fell down. I looked at him in horror and cried my eyes out. I knew I had made him furious. He stood up and yelled
"You bitch." He shook me and then he slapped me. It was so hard that I fell to the ground and it's impact took my voice. Just then a knife fell out of his jacket and I saw it was stained with blood. He took it and came close to me.

"See this? If you don't oblige your blood will be next it tastes" he said while grabbing a handful of my hair. Will all my strength I again pushed him and ran towards my room. Locking it from the inside and placed all the heavy furniture in front of it. Then I ran towards the balcony and locked it's door once I was in it. My balcony already had a mat in it so I just sat on it while Jeremy was banging on my door. It reminded me of the day of my party when he confessed to me. My head felt heavy and I couldn't stop my tears. I realized that l had made a huge mistake of thinking that Jeremy was a good guy. He was the worst person I've ever met. Slowly I felt sleep take over as the night grew.

The next morning I woke up as the sunlight hit my face. Then memories of last night kicked in and the feeling of betrayal took over. All this while Jeremy was pretending to be someone he was not. Yesterday I saw the real him. The psychopath behind his mask of chivalry. That's it. I am no longer tolerating it. Today I will leave. I was getting up from my sleeping position and I heard something crumbling. There was a paper under my arm. I opened it and it read.
'Don't even think about telling your little boyfriend about this princess. Trust me. It won't end well.

~x'

Screw it! I don't fucking care. I'm leaving this place. I looked at the clock. It was currently 5:30 in the morning. Good, he must be sleeping right now. I put on my shoes, grab my money and a bag with a few change of clothes. This was the easy part. Now I have to get out of here without him noticing. I opened my door trying not to make any noise. Finally, I was out of my room. I looked around and found Jeremy was absent. Fuck. Where is he? I don't want any problems right now. Then I heard the voice of the shower. Ok, he must be showering. Perfect. I need to make my escape right now. I turned the knob of the main door but it didn't open. It was locked. Shit. I need to find the keys. They must be in his drawer in his room. I tip-toed to his room and quietly opened his drawer, grabbing the key to the front door. I walked out of the room and now I was in the corridor.

"And where are you going?"
Shit. He found out. I am dead. I am so dead. He clearly told me that he wouldn't mind spilling my blood if I didn't oblige. I turned around and faced him.

"I uh..I was going out for a..for a walk yes for a walk." Such a stupid excuse

"With a bag?"
I was left speechless. what do I say? I am not a pro in lying

"Yeah, you know just for precaution."
"I know you are lying. Why are escaping? Wait! Did I do something yesterday? Shit. I'm so sorry Emma. Trust me I'm not like this it's just that I really lost my shit yesterday and-"
Before he could finish I was already in tears. Yesterday was an absolute hell and I can't even think about it without tearing up.

"Sweet pea please tell me. What did I do?"

Do I tell him?

"Screw you"
I bolted outside and I don't think I've ever run as fast as today. But he finally caught up to me and held my hand. Making me stop. He took me back to the house and the moment we entered inside. He caged me.

"Tell me what happened Emma."
I once again started crying. It has literally become like a routine now.
"You- you - ma-made me s-str-strip" I said in between sobs.
His eyes widened and his grip loosened.

"You were trying to kiss me but when I asked you to stop, you stopped and instead asked me to strip. I again declined but then you forced yourself on me and I pushed you which angered you so much that you slapped me. You took out your knife and threatened me that if I don't oblige then you will kill me next." I explained crying.

"Shit."
"Emma. I am so sorry about this. I-I can't believe I did that. Please trust me. This will never happen again."

"No. It will because that's the real you. Every time you drink you will come home with a new girl and then do something like this and if I won't listen then you'll hit me. Again and again." I couldn't control myself.

"No Emma please trust me. I will never do that to you again."
He tried to hug me but I kicked him in the stomach and punched him in the face. He stumbled and fell to the ground. His shirt lifted up and I saw a bandage on his stomach.
