------------------------

The three of us had finally reached the one month mark. We had successfully been living in a brand new house which was now all sorted and finished for an entire month. It had taken a lot to get it perfect but now as I woke up everyday, I finally felt happy. I was happy. The kids were happy and that was all I cared about.

It was a sunny Friday afternoon when I headed into the town. I had earlier dropped the children off at nursery for the day so I could go shopping and get some chores done without anybody extra to look out for. I took the train into the city because I didn't want to go to the trouble of finding a parking space, and the train took you right into the centre.

Walking along the streets in a thick winter coat, I clutched onto the strap of my handbag and checked the time on my watch. It was just past 1PM and I had hardly eaten all day. Seeing all the patisseries as I walked past and smelling the sweet scents had my stomach growling within minutes. I decided to take some time out of my schedule and have a quick break and re-gain some energy in my new home city.

Pushing open the door I saw that the coffee shop was more or less empty. I ordered an americano along with a salad and took a seat by the fireplace to keep me warm. The weather was closing in thick and fast and nights were getting longer with days getting shorter. It reminded me of how much I loved winter in Chicago. I loved the snow and sitting wrapped up under huge blanked with hot cocoa watching re-runs of Christmas films that I'd seen countless times. But now, it was different. I was in a new place with new people and I was going to find new aspects of living here that made it special to me and my small family of three.

After eating my salad I was sat by the log burning fire, nursing my drink slowly. Looking outside, the rain was lashing down hard and I wasn't loving the idea of walking around in it. The cafe was starting to fill up now and quite a few tables were occupied. Instead of doing nothing, or people watching, I grabbed a newspaper off a rack and started to flick through it.

Most of the news wasn't very interesting and I soon got bored and my drink went cold. With a tight schedule of having to pick up the children in two and a half hours, I told myself I needed to start the shopping now or I'd never get it done.

I finished off the last of my coffee and read the back page of the paper before putting it down. It was only then that I noticed how much the cafe had filled up. There was staff running riot to serve people and I could hardly see a clear path to the door. And then, I saw him.

He was staring right at me, a devious and fear striking smile that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I felt my palms start to sweat and my heart start to race as he raised his hand, waving sarcastically in my direction. I was up within a second with my coat on my back and bag on my shoulder. I panicked as he quickly did the same, throwing some cash down onto the table and following my direction. Once I was out into the rain, he hadn't emerged yet. I quickly ran around a corner into the direction of the city, hoping he hadn't seen me. I wanted to scream I fear. I hadn't been this scared in so long, I hadn't seen him in so long and I certainly didn't expect to see him. The only thing that was circling my mind was, "how the hell did he find me?"

I was standing under the shelter of a row of shops, seas of people walking in front of me, making me difficult to see and making if difficult for me to see out. I began to calm down, but the panic only came back again when I heard his voice. His ugly, narcissistic and evil dripping voice. Every word he said sounded like he was spitting it with envy, like he wanted something. He was on the phone when he walked past me, I had my back turned but was closely watching his figure moved past in the reflection of the mirror. I wanted to go home, I wanted to get my children and hold them so close to me that I knew they were safe. He was scaring me. I was scared for my life and for theirs. I was alone with nobody to help me and protect them but me. This wasn't what I chose to move out here for, not at all.

I ventured out, watching him get into a car and drive away. It was only then that I started to freak out. I didn't know where he was going, I didn't know who he was talking to on the phone or who else he had watching me. I didn't know what to do.

Pulling out my mobile, I hit the first number on my speed dial without giving it a second thought. I was stood in the shivering rain with tiny tears running down my face, my heart pounding so hard I was that scared.

"Hello?"

"Pete- I, I need you."

"Ellianah? Are you alright? You sound like you're crying! Are the kids okay?"

"Pete he came back, Lewis came back. I was in a cafe and he was there watching me, he followed me into the streets but I managed to lose him and I saw him drive away. How the hell has he found me? I'm so scared, I don't know what to do, p-please help me."

My words were forced out in un-even chokes and I didn't think he'd be able to understand. I don't even know what I called him, he was so far away that he couldn't do anything.

"Are you being serious? I'm calling the fucking police I need to-"

"He'll just run, Pete! I don't know how he found me but he did and he probably knows where the house is and I'm so scared, I'm so, so scared."

"Ellianah you have to call the cops. They can do something about it I promise. I'll catch the flight over tonight and I'll be there as soon as I can. Just get the kids and go home. You'll be okay, I promise. I'm coming alright, don't worry, I'll be there soon."

I could hear him frantically rushing around in the background and I also heard the muffled cries of Jacob. It made me feel guilty, but at that moment I didn't care.

"O-okay. Call me when you land."

"I will. Stay safe Ellianah, everything's going to be alright."

He was dropping everything as soon as he knew I needed him. I knew he loved me, and this was him proving it.

I was sat in the lounge, watching the lightening dance across the sky as the kids watched television. I had reviewed the call from Pete about an hour ago saying he had landed. I told him my address and I was just waiting for him to arrive. Theo had been round offering a coffee at his place but I had to say no.

I sat waiting anxiously. I was still so afraid. I would protect my children with everything I possibly could but even knowing that wasn't satisfying to know that they would be safe. I thought I was safe, and yet he had found me. In a new city with new people, he had managed to find me and scare me so much that I was physically shaking whenever I heard a sound.

I had never been more relieved to hear a doorbell sound in my entire life.

I jumped to my feet and ran to the door, opening it as fast as I could. My heart stopped when I saw Pete. He was soaked from the rain and his denim jacket was stuck to him, his suitcase wet through but I didn't care.

I cried. I started to cry and I let the tears continue to fall as I sobbed out all my fear as he held me in the doorway. I felt his arms clasp tightly around me and the strength of his grip and I knew that he was just happy to know I was okay. He held me to close to him. pressing my head against his chest, kicking the door closed with his foot so no more rain blew through into the house.

"Thank you for coming, I didn't know what to do, I was so scared."

"I would go to the ends of the earth for you, Ellianah. I would do anything for you, anything."
