Delaney's POV.

I felt frozen in place as I kept reading the ominous text over and over. My intuition told me to look out my window for the hooded figure that had terrorized me for so long. I let out a relieved sigh when I didn't see anyone, clutching my phone to my chest. Suddenly, it vibrated against my skin, causing me to jump. I pulled the phone away from me and looked at the screen, immediately feeling faint. 

Unknown: Look again, hermosa x.

I swallowed hard, tears of fear threatening to fall from my tired eyes. I slowly lifted my head, my eyes glancing out the window again through my eyelashes. There he stood, clad in black clothing and hood covering his face. The air became thick and menacing. I mentally begged my body to cooperate and move, but it was no use. My fingers trembled as I held my phone out again, shakily typing out a message to my unwanted visitor. 

Delaney: Why are you doing this?

Unknown: Doing what? Mi amor I'm simply watching over you x.

Delaney: No, you're stalking me you psychopath!

Unknown: Careful mi Gatita, watch that pretty little mouth of yours before it gets you in trouble x.

I froze once again, my hand slipping from my paralyzed hands as I looked back out the window, only to find the mysterious man gone once again. I could feel panic begin to fill every inch of my body, sweat beading down my forehead and tears streaming freely. I choked out a sob, collapsing to my knees. This was all getting to be too much. The panic began to come out slowly, my chest rising and falling quickly.

It was then there was a loud knock at my front door, causing me to let out a scream I hadn't expected. 

"Go away!" I screamed, choking back more and more sobs of fear, hugging myself tightly as I lost every aspect of control of myself. 

"Laney, open up!" Another coupled knocks at the door. "It's Dom." He yelled from the other side. I don't know if it was the panic of my situation, or the gratefulness of him being okay that willed me to pick myself up and practically run to the door. I aggressively threw it open and threw myself in his embrace. As much as I "hated" him, he brought and odd sense of security every time he held me. 

"Holy shi- Laney what's going on?!" He asked, taken completely aback by my sudden actions. He held me up at his side as he pulled us both inside and immediately to my living room couch. I struggled to form sentences let alone words as I carelessly sobbed my eyes out against his chest. The impact of my stalker had finally taken its toll and completely broken me down. 

"Shh, it's okay. Just breathe Laney." He spoke softly against my hair, rubbing small smoothing circles against my spine. We sat like that for quite a while, until I felt like I had actually cried myself dry. I let out a couple small hiccups before pulling back, looking up at the man that just saved me from spiraling. 

"You want to tell me what that was all about?" He finally asked, his eyebrow raised at me in question. I let out an incredibly shaky breath as I looked at him. The jig was up, someone needed to know. 

"You can't tell Demi." I stated emotionlessly. He looked at me hesitantly, sucking in his lower lip before nodding in agreement. I sighed heavily and grabbed my phone off the floor. I cleared my throat and tried to internally calm myself as I opened up the thread of messages with the stalker. 

"Here, read this." I said, just barely above a whisper before handing him my phone. He looked at me momentarily before carefully taking the phone from me. I watched his expression as he scrolled through the months of messages, pictures of my locations, the trash in my trash cans outside, my hotel room door, and so much more. I could see his face remain the same, causing confusion to stir within me. 

"C'mon Laney, it's obviously someone playing a prank." He scoffed, pushing the phone back in my lap. I felt tears brimming my eyes once again. 

"It's not Dom! It's been going on for months!" I threw my phone at the floor angrily. "Months! He shows up outside my house! Everywhere I go, he knows!" I yelled.

"Okay, okay. Calm down hermosa." He said, holding his hands up in defense. I plopped back in the couch, running my hands over my face as another sob escaped. 

"He always knows, how does he always know?" I cried, pulling my hands from my face and looking at him desperately. "And the names he calls me makes my-" I stopped myself.

The names. 

My mind began racing over every text the creep had ever sent me. 

"Nice shirt, sleep tight mi amor x"

"Look again, hermosa"

"Careful, mi Gatita"

My eyes began to widen with realization and fear. I slowly looked at Dominik, pushing myself further away from him, our conversations replying in my head at lightspeed. 

"Solo el tiempo lo dirá, mi amor"

"ah, ah, ah you mustn't tell lies, hermosa." 

"So wet for me already, Gatita"

The realization and "two plus two definitely equaling four", came crashing down me like a thousand bricks. 

"No-" I choked out, tears of anger and betrayal fall freely as I pulled myself off the couch, practically jumping to the other side of the room to create as much space possible between me and Dominik. 

"Laney what is it?" He asked, standing up and making his way towards me. 

"Stay away from me!" I screamed, glaring at him through tear clouded eyes. "It was you all along, wasn't it!? 

"Laney what are yo-"

"Don't treat me like I'm dumb Dominik!" I yelled in a huff. "It's been you! you're the one watching me! texting me and following me around!" I sobbed. He looked at me with an expression I couldn't quite decipher. He let out a sigh and looked down. 

"Well, now you've taken the fun out of it all, Gatita." He looked back up at me with dark, sinister eyes. 

"But, why Dom? Why would you do this?" I pleaded, backing further away from him. He took steps closer to me, once again our cat and mouse game commencing. Only this time I ran out of places to go much quicker and was suddenly met with the wall behind me. 

He quietly chuckled to himself as he scratched his chin, before stepping forward and closing the space between us. He placed one hand on the wall behind me and leaned in until or lips were almost touching. 

"Because mi amor, you are mine."
