Elaina's POV
Arielle's House
We were just chilling at Arielle's house watching tv in the living room when I got a phone call from an unknown number
Me-(answers) Hello
Dad-I'm out. I'm coming for you Elaina (hangs up)
Me-(drops my phone)
Arielle-Elaina?
Me-Hes out.
Arielle-Turn to the news. Hurry
Melanie-I'm hurrying (changes the channel)
TV-Inmate Daniel Banks has been released from prison after only spending 5 years behind bars.
Bella-What are you going to do
Me-I don't know.
Mercedes-I don't think he could find you now. You've moved so many times
Me-Trust me if he wanted to find me he would.
Melanie-When does your mom and stepdad come back from Japan?
Me-Next week.
Arielle-What are you going to do?
Me-There is nothing for me to do. I just have to wait. If he comes, he comes. I will just have to defend myself
Melanie-(yelling) DO YO KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS ELI?
Me-(yelling) ITS NOT LIKE I HAVE A CHOICE MEL (calm voice) Its not like I have a choice. Running isn't an option anymore
Arielle-Someone has to stay at that house with you until your parents get back
Me-Who? I'm not putting you guys in that. I cant stand to see anyone of you get hurt, I have to be a big girl about this.
Arielle-If anything happens, call on of us and we will come right over.
Me-I will.
Bella-Stay here tonight. Just so we know that you're okay.
Me-Okay.
Arielle-Everything will be okay nina (hugs me)
Me-I just wish this was over.
Arielle-I will soon be over
I have to stand up and be a big girl about it. I cant keep running anymore from him. Anytime I run, he finds me.
A Few Days Later
After School
I was on my way home from school and just felt a little off. I don't know what it is, it just felt off. As soon as I got home I called Arielle.
Arielle-Yea baby girl
Me-I feel weird
Arielle-Like what
Me-I don't know, I got a headache
Arielle-Did you eat anything?
Me-Not yet
Arielle-Eat something and see how you feel.
Me-Okay. (goes downstairs) This is so crazy.
Arielle-What do you mean?
Me-I don't know. Just everything. I feel a huge weight on my shoulders.
Arielle-Once you're mom comes back you guys can figure everything out.
