Would You Say I'm Worthy? (Sequel to So Will You Wait Me Out?)

Mystery Man...

Violet's POV: *I furrow my eyebrows with concern as I read the message.* Who the hell...?

*I responded with 'who is this?' The unknown number texted me back almost immediately. *

Unknown: You'll find out soon enough. See you soon, Violet.

*I begin to mentally panic thinking about who this is and what they want. The sound of my exhausted fiancé broke my train of thought.*

Noah: Hey beautiful, miss me?

Violet: *I turn around, a small smile curling at the edges of my lips. My mind was still racing.* Yeah, uh huh.

*Noah furrows his eyebrows with concern, trying to figure out what is wrong.*

Noah: Violet Rae , What's going on?

Violet: *I rub the back of my neck anxiously, avoiding his gaze.* Nothing, it's fine. Are you guys all done?

*Noah grabs my chin, forcing me to look up at him.* I'm NOT going to ask again. What the hell is going on?

*My blue eyes met with his and tears began to well up in my eyes.*

Violet: I'm being stalked....again.

Noah: *He let go of my chin and crossed his arms with concern.* What? What do you mean?

Violet: The person won't tell me who they are but they left me some very alarming texts..

Noah: Let me see.. Now. I'm not playing Violet.

*I opened the text and handed my phone over to Noah. He scans the screen, his face growing more and more concerned as he reads further.*

Noah: Are you kidding me? How long has this been happening? And again? What do you mean again?

*I could see the anger bubbling inside him. I felt a pang of comfort and admiration at his concern for me.*

Violet: Noah, listen to me. We should talk somewhere else.

Noah: Okay, I'm going to tell the boys that we're leaving. Stay right here, I'll be back.

*I nod my head and watched as he walked away from me. I sat on a nearby bench while waiting for his return. A few moments pass by before a rag was placed over my mouth and nose, suffocating me.*

*When I woke up, I looked around me, trying to figure out where I was, but my vision was blurry and all I could see was the tall silhouette swiftly walking towards me. I had a thin piece of cloth covering my eyes. Ropes bound my hands and feet, making my escape impossible.*

Unknown: Darling, you're up. How kind of you to join me.

Violet: *My mouth was dry and my voice was hoarse.* Who are you? What do you want with me?

Unknown: It's always the same questions. 'Who are you?' 'What do you want?' 'Why are you doing this?' But really, Violet... you should be asking yourself, 'Why did I fuck Alex over?'

Violet: Alex? Oh my god. You're in Seattle? Did you...follow me here?

Alex: Yes, Violet, my sweet. I couldn't bear living a life without you. So, I won't. Not anymore. I let you go once but never again.

Violet: *My heart beat rapidly in my chest as I began to feel scared for my safety. Noah has no idea where I am, or what happened to me.* Y-you know Noah will come looking for me. He'll notice I'm missing...You can't fucking keep me here!

Alex: *He crouches down, pulling the blindfold off my face. I was met with those same dark eyes I saw back in college.*

Aw, how sweet to think he could ever come find you. You should know I'm smarter than that Vi.

*I watched as Alex began to pull out my phone, and read the text sent to Noah.*

Alex: "Dear Noah, this past year has been nothing but wonderful memories with you. Throughout the ups and downs life has thrown at us our love has always remained strong.

Which is why it's very hard for me to say this, I'm calling off our engagement and I'm moving back in with Alex. We had been texting for a few weeks and something in me still misses him.

I wish you all the best in life, but I cannot do this anymore. I am so sorry. I will love you forever and always Noah Sebastian Davis, Goodbye."

*I sat there sobbing uncontrollably.*

Violet: *I seethed through gritted teeth.* How fucking dare you.

Alex: How dare I? HOW DARE I?! Are you fucking kidding me? *He grabbed my face, his grip hard and unforgiving.* You're the one who left me and for what? Some silly fucking musician who's going to flop in five years from now?

Violet: He gave me more in a day than you ever gave me throughout the entirety of our relationship.

*I watched anxiously as Alex rose from his crouched position. His face was red and bubbling with anger.*

Alex: I'm going to make sure you never leave me alone again.

*He raised his right leg and rapidly slammed it down on my shin. I screamed out in pain as I could hear my own bone cracking from the sudden pressure.*

Violet:*I let out a guttural scream as the searing pain rushed throughout my leg. The pain was unbearable and I fought to keep conscious. Eventually, I lost and everything went black.*
