Unknown pov

I followed a few cars behind her. Soon I'd be parking a couple parking spaces way from her and I'd be following her up to her apartment.

I parked and waited till she got several meters away then I started to follow.

We headed up a few flights of stairs and I circled around her floor. I circled the ledge until I reached the back of her apartment. Is stepped over the tiny gate guarding her balcony and watched her through the glass doors.

I watched for an hour and a half and i left. I couldn't approach her just yet. With her ending relationship and the whining of her new one it would be to much pressure. But soon. Very soon she would be mine.

I left carters and went home. I got up to my apartment and settled in.

I laid down on the couch and turned on the television. As I started thinking I turned down the volume so my thoughts would be more progressive.

How would we work out? He's only four years older than me but that woman he was with before and he might leave me. There are women way more attractive than me and he will for sure leave me. He's kind of a player but it's an attribution to his personality.

My phone buzzed and the caller ID flashed as an unknown number.

I picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello?"

"I can't wait for you to be mine."

"Is this Jay? Look I'm sorry that I got mad but I'm not ready for a relationship."

"No. But stay away from Jay because I don't want anyone around my girl."

"Is this Carter?"

"Tell Carter to stay away from you too. "

"Who is this?"

"If I told you it would ruin the surprise." The man said eerily.

"Leave me alone you creep." I hung up the phone and began to bite my nails.

"Hey you okay?" Ella asked walking in the room.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"I know you're lying."

"I'm not." I said in a high pitched voice.

She walked over and pulled my hand away from my mouth.

"This is how I know you're lying. You never bite your nails unless you're anxious."

"Well..... I just got a call saying to stay away from Jay and Carter and he kept calling me his girl. I don't know it was just really weird."

"Probably just some weirdo who works with you that trying to get in your head. Don't worry about it."

"What if it's....."

"Who?"

"Him."

"Who's him?"

"You know him." I said pulling up my shirt to reveal the scar I had gotten a few weeks ago due to the crazy killer in my apartment.

"I seriously doubt it's him. He went to jail."

"Well I'm the only one to survive one of his attacks. Do you think he has partners."

She looked at the tv and paused the show.

"You know you watch too much criminal minds."

I frowned and changed the channel. I'm sure I was just being paranoid but it's possible. His partner(s) could be stalking me.

I continued watching television and soon drifted off into a light slumber.

'Just leave you're abusive to this family!' My mother yelled. I was supposed to be sleeping but I was pretending so I could hear what they were arguing about.

'Fine I will leave. But just so you know, i will be back. You may not know about it but I will be here. You may be dead by the time I come back but I will and it won't be pretty. I'll take down this family faster than that iceberg took down the titanic!" A masculine voice yelled back.

I heard the door slam and roars of sobs rushed throughout the house. My parents were having problems at the time.

"Honey," another masculine voice cooed.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to put you through this." My mother says.

I woke up from the dream and I was drenched in sweat. And I was in my own bed. Did I sleep walk in here? Did Ella move me? No Ella couldnt move me she's too small.

Maybe I walked in here and forgot about it. I shrugged the thought off and walked into the kitchen for water.

The time on the oven said 10:56. It was bright as day outside how could- I looked over and the sliding doors on the balcony were open.

" oh my god "

I ran upstairs and locked my self in the bathroom. I dialed 911 and rocked back and forward holding my knees to my chest.

"911 what's your emergency?"

"There's someone in my house."

"Madelyn?" I hear Ella say from the other side of the door.

"There's someone in the house Ella. The balcony door was open and the times were changed and I woke up in my bed."

"Madelyn I asked Ryan to move you so you could sleep better and I set the cooking time as 14:00 for our pizza rolls. And I had the balcony door open because I burnt the first batch and it smelled really bad."

"Oh."

"Ma'am?" I hear over the phone.

"I'm sorry to bother you. It was just my roommate."

"That's okay I'm happy that you're safe."

"Thank you have a nice day."

"You too goodbye." The receptionist said as she hung up the phone.
