The Awakening
Chapter Seven
You would have thought that this man who attacked me would be long gone, but I realized he wasn't. I was going to have to do something to protect myself and Mitz. I didn't want to tell her, but I didn't want to scare her too much, so I approached her carefully one day and told her that I thought we should make sure that we do not relax so much that we let our guards down completely, and she took it alright and didn't seem to question my concerns, and even agreed. We made sure that we always let each other know what we were doing and where we were, and we never got caught outside after dark alone, period. Things seemed to be settling down, but I had a feeling that something was not right. Then one night while I was lying in bed, it hit me, and I had the awakening of my life.
Why would I think that he wouldn't be stalking me again, when he did it before and he is still on the loose? The way he acted then gave me the chills, because when he left, he left like he was leaving something unfinished.
This brought me straight out of my bed, and I hit the floor in a panic. There was no way to hide my fear, and Mitz came running. We both spent the entire night curled up in bed. And, come morning, we both woke up in the same spot, same position we had laid down in. We sat that morning and talked and decided we had to do something to take care of this so we could move on. I spoke with her about her sister who lived out in California, and I mentioned to Mitz that I thought she should go see her for a while. She was totally against it of course and refused, but by the end of the day, I had her talk about it. I told her a small fib and said I was going to look up a cousin of mine, and go see her for a while, just long enough to take a break. I had no cousin.

Balancing the Act
Chapter Eight
Getting Mitz to go was easier than getting her to believe I was going to my cousins, but with enough running my mouth about old times with "Jackie", I was able to convince her I did have a cousin. I didn't care, because all I cared about now was getting Mitz away from here for a while and being alone myself. I was tired of living in fear. We agreed that she would leave next week by plane, which sounded like the safest route to take. So, we giggled and chatted about the things she would do when she got there. She hadn't seen her sister in about four years, so it would be good for them both. When next Wednesday came, I drove her to the airport, said my goodbye and watched her fly off, and sat back down and cried like a baby. I wasn't even sure if I would see her again, because things felt awful by then. I drove home, jumped out of the car and ran inside and went to bed and didn't come out till noon the next day. I called Samantha to see if I could get in to see her that afternoon, but they said that she had not come to work that day to work, and wasn't feeling good, so I hung up and cried again.
