Somniphobia

Chapter 56. Stalkerish much?

Aria POV
"Got ya!" He laughed excitedly as soon as he noticed me in the cubby. My eyes widened as he pointed his gun directly at my head with a sly smile on his lips. I closed my eyes tightly sobbing uncontrollably as I braced myself for the worst.

"Back the fuck away from her or I'm gonna blow your fucking brains out!" Caleb's dominating voice rumbled throughout the entire closet. My heart felt instant relief knowing he was here but his tone brought cold nerve wrecking shivers down my spine.

The man held his gun to my head but turned his head, staring at Caleb angrily. "Put you gun down or I'm going to shoot her." He threatened Caleb in a promising tone making me panic even more.

Caleb stared at him for a moment before placing his gun down on the floor near his feet. "Kick it to me." The man demanded. Caleb kicked his gun towards him.

He stepped on the gun while still holding his own gun pointed to my head. "Close your eyes princess, don't open them until I tell you to." He instructed me. I closed my eyes obediently while scooting back into the cubby as much as I could.

"What do you want?" Caleb asked the man. The man scoffed bitterly. "I want your money and I'll do you one better if you give me her too." He told Caleb making me panic even more at his suggestion to take me as well.

"You can take the money not her." Caleb told him in a stern tone. The man began to laugh bitterly. "No way you like this bitch." He laughed out to Caleb teasingly. "You don't like woman what's so special about her?" He asked him curiously.

"Mind your fucking business I'm giving you a chance to leave with the money I suggest you quit talking and leave before I change my mind." Caleb replied warningly to the man.

"Oh I see she's got you pussy whipped cause there's no way you'd keep her alive this long." The man said completely ignoring Caleb's warning. "Come on I'm your uncle talk to me." He urged Caleb.

"Don't you want to kill her, that's all you like to do anyway. You kill every man every woman that simply pisses you off or touches you." He remarked like he knew Caleb his whole life or something.

"I know you wanna rip her apart every time she touches you." He taunted Caleb. I covered my ears not wanting to hear anymore of his threatening thoughts. I knew Caleb was crazy but did he really wanna hurt me every time I touched him?

I didn't wanna stress over this because this was just a random man talking like he knew Caleb but I've never seen him around Caleb at all... at least since we've been together.

"You don't fucking know me and I'm not explaining myself to you! We may share the same blood but your just as worthless as my dead beat father. I killed him and I will kill you the same fucking way too."

Caleb said in a promising tone that made my heart skip a beat out of fear not of him but his harsh, threatening words. This is the first time I found out he killed his own father and I didn't know how to feel about that.

The man laughed bitterly finding Caleb's threatening thoughts funny but Caleb sounded very serious. Everything that came out of Caleb's mouth did not sound funny at all it sounded purely threatening and scary as hell.

"Just give me the money and the girl and I'll be out your hair." He told Caleb. Caleb stayed silent for a little too long for my comfort as if he was really taking what the man said into consideration.

He wouldn't give me away.... Right? I'm having his baby he won't just let this random man take me. I began to panic silently with all my thoughts spiraling with all the negative possibilities of what he might do and not do.

He could be annoyed with me cause I'm constantly being so needy and clingy. I knew I shouldn't have allowed myself to get attached to him I was only making him angry and annoyed now he was going to give me away to this man.
