Chapter Fifteen

*Katherine's Point of View*

**"Em..." Katherine's voice quivered. I turned to look at her, and when my gaze met hers, I knew something was wrong...**

I pulled away from Emily to start preparing a plate for myself when I saw her phone light up. I didn't know why it was lit up, but I was curious... She has been acting a little strange since I got out of the shower.

Picking up her phone, I noticed it was a text message. The number was unknown, and the message was really creepy. Unnerving, even.

'You should be eating, Emily. You're too pretty to starve yourself. Of course, your girlfriend's nice lookin' too, but you... You are a sexy gem.'

I looked through the message thread and there were a couple other messages along with that one. They were really messed up and terrifying! It was like someone was in the room watching us, from what they said!

"Em..."

She turned to face me.

"Who sent you these?" I gave Emily her phone with the text messages still pulled up. "They're very... Unsettling."

"Katherine, I... I... I don't know who sent them... And I'm scared.... I... I should have told you when I got the first one, but... I thought if I didn't tell you I would be keeping you safe, somehow... I'm so sorry..."

"Emily, you could have told me... I'm not going to ever let anything happen to us, so long as I can help it. You don't have to hide anything from me. We are in this together, and I'm going to do everything I can to protect you and keep you safe. I love you, Emily Lynn Michaels."

"I love you, Katherine. I don't know what I would do without you..."

Taking her into my arms, I held Emily close against me, her head buried in my chest. I ran my hand over her back, trying to keep her calm and relaxed.

We laid there for a while before the phone rang, startling us both. Her more than me, although I was seriously hoping it wasn't that creep that was texting Em.

"Hello?" I answered warily, leaning up, holding the phone to my ear.

"Hey baby, go ahead and start getting packed and ready. We will leave to go to the airport in about an hour. Okay?"

Phew, it was just my mom...

"Okay mom. We'll meet you guys down in the lobby in an hour!"

"Okie dokie sweetie!"
I hung up the phone and laid back down, relaxing slightly.

"We leaving in an hour?" Emily mumbled, her face covered by the comforter.

"Yeah babe. We're gonna meet everyone down in the lobby. I'll go ahead and get our things together, and you just rest here, kay? Don't you worry about a thing sweetheart."

I got up and began getting our stuff ready to go. It didn't take me long, since the only things that we had out were our toiletries and dirty laundry. Packing seemed like a breeze. Not to mention that while I was packing up our things, i put on some music and danced a bit, giving Emily a little treat, hehe.

After I finished packing, I put our bags by the door and got back in bed with my absolutely stunning girlfriend. We still had almost an hour left until we had to head down to the hotel lobby, so I decided I would try and use this time alone with Emily, seeing as we most likely wouldn't get alone like this, with it being just her and myself, for a while.

Gently cupping her face in my hands, I rubbed my thumb over her cheek before connecting our lips, kissing her with love and passion, nothing else on my mind at that moment but Emily and me.

She was still for a moment before I felt her lips start to move against mine, deepening the kiss more than it already was.

"Mmmm... I love you, Katherine..." Emily moaned out softly, making me putty in her hands.

"I love you too, my sweet sweet angel."

I lost track of how long we had been making out when my phone rang, scaring Emily as well as scaring the life out of me, causing me to jump up and pull away from Emily.

"H- Hello?" I answered breathlessly.

"Katherine? Are you okay? I hope you two are ready. We are getting ready to head down to the lobby, we're leaving in ten minutes."

"Yes, mom, I'm alright. I had just fallen back asleep, and my phone ringing startled me. We are ready. We will meet you guys down there!! Bye mom!"

"Bye sweetie!"

I sat my phone on the bed and turned to look at Emily, a smile dangling on the corner of her lips.

"What?" I grinned, pulling her into my arms.

"Nothing. Just looking at a very beautiful girl, who I'm ever so lucky to be able to say is my girlfriend." She replied, kissing me on the cheek before getting off of the bed and walking over to grab her suitcase.

"Baaabe!" I blushed, giggling as I did the same, double checking the room to make sure we had everything.

Locking up the room, we took off towards the elevator to begin the trip back home.

I'm hoping that everything begins to smooth out after we get back. I'm not sure how much more my sweet girl can take before it becomes too much...
