Known

26📚|Guilty as charged

I almost didn't get a wink of sleep, I twist, turned, threw the sheets in all different directions and when day finally broke, I gave up. Despite professor Norman saying he'd see me in class today, that couldn't have been farther from the truth. I decided against it because I had other plans, plans that needed him at the university. Today was a busy day for him because he had at least four classes back to back before a break. That gives me at least three hours of uninterrupted time to get what I needed to do done.

I haven't heard from Alaina since yesterday and it made me worried but I decided against contacting her because I didn't need her getting involved or worst stopping me. I'm sure she's probably just tired or with the guy we met at the bar, I got up and took a quick shower to get rid of all the stale alcohol and sweat from off me, then threw on something comfy but concealing; black leggings with a crop top and my thick grey hoodie. I threw on a hat and some sunglasses, grabbed my phone and some cash for Uber and then I was off. My fingers twitched because of adrenaline and my heart raced due to the stress of the crazy plan I'm about to pull off.

I blew out an encouraging breath, telling myself through silent thoughts that this was for the best, I have to know what's going on or else I'd go crazy.

Truth is I think I already am.

When the Uber came reality kicked in and I felt an even higher level of anxiety wash over me, the closer we got to the place the more nervous I became and I wouldn't be surprised if the driver was suspicious of me.

I was sweating, fidgety and hidden away behind some pitiful excuse of concealing clothes. I started to feel doubts, what if he comes back? What will he do?Those two questions alone had me almost turning back, but consequences be damned, even if he does so what?

So what!? Are you crazy?!!

A sigh left my lips as I paid the driver and exited the car. I was well aware of what Kyle is capable of and if he's who I'm accusing him to be them I'm in for something even worst if I let myself get caught.

I looked up and there it was, Professor Norman's apartment building. His home was fifteen floors up and with the right coaxing I had managed to get his passcode, for emergency purposes of course. I went inside and to my surprise was not questioned by security, I just hopped on the elevator and pressed the number to floor fifteen.

Was it because my face wasn't new? Doesn't matter either way because I'm not going to stay long. When I made it to the floor, I checked my phone once again to make sure I had the times correct and then see if I'd gotten any messages.

Good, None.

Atleast for the time being no one is thinking about me, even though I'm kinda starting to get nervous about the fact that Alaina has yet to call me.. I just hope she's okay but if he has done anything to her I will go to the police even if that means incriminating myself.

I punched the numbers in the lock, grateful that it doesn't make any sound when you put them in and entered the lofty apartment, closing the door behind me quickly, my heart was beating so fast that I slid down the door to catch a breath, my eyes couldn't help but wander and every inch of this place reminds me of the things we did, things we talk about.

A single glance over to the dining table had my cheeks reddened, the memories of how Kyle ravished me flashed through my mind like a projector. He's done unspeakable things to me, made me feel whole and free, he made me feel like I belonged and to think that maybe it's about to be ruined has my heart aching.

I built up enough courage to get up off this man's floor, reminding myself that I'm working with a limited amount of time. I went over to the passage where his bedroom belongs, thinking that it would be a good place to start if I'm ever to find anything.
