Meeting my world

Chapter 25

You guys don't know how much I hate writing these ones so it's going to be so short

Alexa's p.o.v

I look down at my phone, another message. Lizzie and i have been shopping for an hour and this is the 4th message. I feel like this person is close, too close. Being in public is terrifying. This makes me feel extremely vulnerable. Sighing i turn to Lizzie who is holding 2 hair dye boxes, one pink and one purple. "Lex what colour looks better?" I consider for a moment and although purple would look cool pink could make her look really cute and it did before it faded last time "pink would look really nice on you Lizzie." She smiled and grabbed a second of the pink dye and walking to the till to pay. Turning to my right i see a man in red hood covering most of his face but the smirk that played upon his lips, the smirk i used to know. The smirk that haunts my every waking moment. I quickly turn away and walk to where Lizzie had gone, which luckily for me was in the opposite direction. She notices my terrified expression and quickly grabs her bag of shopping and came towards me.

"What happened?" She questioned panicked. I begin to shake as i know I'm about to collapse, i hold on to Lizzie and utter out quietly "it's j-ja-mes" Lizzie looks even more confused "who is James?!" She leads me out of the shop and toward her car half way there I recompose myself and manage to say a whole sentence. "James is my ex, an abusive ex to say the least." Lizzie looks at me sympathetically, she had never had this experience but some how it was still comforting to know she was there.

As we got in the car Lizzie turns to me as asks "do you think it's him sending you those messages?" I think about it for a moment before replying with "I wouldn't put it past him. When I was with him he acted like a complete psychopath. So much so I managed to get him in jail for 2 years. I guess he got let out for good behaviour or something ridiculous like that." She nods and doesn't respond as she is driving and probably shocked by this information. I take out my phone and pull up the messages before I take a deep breath and tap my fingers across the screen.

I know it's you James if you continue I swear to god I will take these texts to court and get you put back into jail where you will never see what the outside world is like ever again.

I sit back in my seat proud of myself and relax when I realise we are at Lizzie's house. "You wouldn't mind helping me do my hair would you?" smiling I replied gladly "of course, i don't mind doing your hair it means I get to see it before anyone else." Lizzie giggles and we enter her house to see Joel sitting on her sofa talking to Lizzie's dad. "Hey dad, this is Alexa one of my best friends" she introduced me and I waved shyly. Her dad smiles and waves back before returning to his conversation with Joel. My phone buzzed and I pulled it out of my pocket.

Yeah it's me, thought you could get away from me that easy? Bitch I'm not afraid of you. I could kill you in a second. I'm everywhere an nowhere but everywhere at the same time. You should be absolutely terrified of what I'm capable of.

I shudder and screenshot for evidence when I have talked to Lizzie on taking him to court. Lizzie turns to me and motions for me to follow her upstairs. We pass Maddie and I smile and give her a small wave and she nods her head at me. Lizzie takes out the hair dye from her shopping bag and chucked the bag into her room. "OK let's get straight to dyeing." I say and she giggles at my wording. She nods anyway and opens the hair dye boxes. I mix one of the boxes as she mixes the other. I slid the gloves onto my hands as she sits on the toilet as I begin to massage the dye into her hair and decided now was a good time to tell Lizzie about...James. Oh how he ruined the name, I wanted to name my child with that name but now I can not look at another James without thinking of him, he makes my blood boil. "I messaged James earlier, he admitted that it was him so i have all the evidence I need to get him arrested, what do you think?" I hear her gasp. "Oh my god! You have to take him to court he can get a fairly long sentence and a restraining order. My aunt is a lawyer I could ask her to help you if you want." I let out a sigh of relief. "Please that would be lovely."

Soon after I had finished doing Lizzie's hair so we wrapped up her hair and called Joel up to play a game of fibbage to pass the time. "What the hell is this Alexa? It looks like a fire on a cactus!" Joel exclaimed. I had tried to draw a rocket but it really wasn't successful. At the end of it Joel had won and I had came in second with Lizzie just behind by five points. "Well that's our 20 minutes, come on Lizzie we need to rinse out your hair." She lets out a 'yup' and we go to the bathroom to get the excess dye out of her hair. Once rinsed out I grabbed her hair dryer and began to dry her hair. As I dried her hair the colour began to look better and better. Joel looked up from his phone and called up from over the noise "THE COLOUR LOOKS AMAZING ON YOU LIZZIE!" She smiles and thanks Joel and I turn off the hair dryer as it as become dry. "Thank you Alexa" Lizzie says as I flop onto her bed.
