Loveless Boundaries

Chapter 1

I can still feel it. Every single part of it still felt real. the day he took me still felt like it played an important role in my life. I just wish it didnt have to be me. Sure, Michael Hubbard's in jail, but ever since then i still dont feel safe. I second guess every little thing about my life daily. 

Take out the trash at night? No, he will be out there ready to take you on again. After all he did say you were his favorite.

All of these simple things i cant do now because I'm afraid that he'll be in the shadows.

"See you later. Have a good night." My co-worker said to me as she left the cafe. I literally dont know why my boss gave me the lockup tonight. I tell him constantly that I can't lock up for reasons he just wont ever understand. Sure he'd understand, but frankly i dont think he'd care. And of course, the garbage needs to be emptied. Ugh Screw my life.

I go and tie the garbage that wreaked of alcohol up and headed for the back door. The door creaked open and i began to take my tiny steps toward the garbage about a yard away. Why did it have to be soooo far?!?! I  mean its not that far but it looks like an eternity to me. Step by step I remained cautious of my surroundings. 

You're soon there! Score one for the big girl.

 I got there in a hurry and i quickly lifted up the top, trying to make as little noise as possible, threw the garbage in the can, slammed the bin closed and ran back inside, locking the door. Its never right to be living in this much fear when youre my age. At the age, you should be feeling carefree, going on road-trips, sleeping with random guys for Pete's sake. Instead I'm working at a run-down cafe that only drunks come to now because they downgraded the cafe to C due to food poisoning.

A text came in shortly after from my boyfriend.

Boobear<3

Im sorry i cant pick you up tonight. Something came up at the shop. Any way you can find a ride? xx

Stella

Um.... everyone already left, and you knew how i feel about walking home at night. :(

Boobear<3

Im sorry baby, you know i would if i could, and i'd love to, its just i really cant. I'll text you while youre walking if that helps make you feel safer. xxx

Stella

Nah im good. probably gonna get whisked away by some warewolf so they can raise me as their own anyway. ;) xx

Boobear<3

You sure you dont want me texting you? xxx

Stella 

Im sure you have more important matters to attend to than babysitting your girlfriend on her way home.

Boobear<3

Youre my number 1 priority. Text me when you get home okay babe? love you xx

Stella

Okay. Love you too xxxxx 

Okay, so looks like I am gonna have to walk home tonight. I live like 4 blocks away so i guess its not that bad.

I shut off the lights and make my way to the door, peering out through the glass window on top of it. This is it guys. I'm going for it. I open the door and silently close it behind me, along with the gate before locking it. I start my long trek down the alleyway knowing that this was the easiest way home.

I am almost home when I see a car's headlights shining before turning off. i whip my head around before noticing that its probably just my imagination.  I let out a breath of exhaled air and continue on until i get to my doorstep. i open the door and find the house pitch black. Home alone again. I text Cole to let him know im home and he replies with a goodnight xx. I make my way upstairs and shut my bedroom door behind me as i undress from my long day. Force of habit I guess. 

When i'm done i crawl into bed and get my kindle and begin reading this book about fairies and warlocks. Midway through, i hear a knock to the front door. Hastily I get up out of bed and head downstairs to greet the mysterious person that interrupted me. I look out the window. No one is there. I open the door. No one is there. But there is a note laying there on the floor.

I'm coming for you princess. Be ready 

xoxo- Your beautiful nightmare

I start hyperventilating when i finish read the note. What the heck is a beautiful nightmare? How the heck do they know i'm home? Better yet.....WTF are they coming for me for? NOPE, NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. this is not gonna happen again. I wont let it. I begin to close the door when a foot jams in.

"You should have thought about closing that door a while ago. To be honest I wanted a bit of a challenge princess." The mysterious man says. Through his mask I can see he has bright green eyes and a head of curly blondish brownish hair. He tries to push his way in and by default, succeeds. I make my way towards the stairs and begin climbing up like a mad man, with him hot on my trail. I go to my bedroom where I lock the door and push my oh, so heavy dresser in front of it and keep my eyes locked on the door.

It is silent for a few before i hear footsteps and a light chuckle. Okay this man is seriously messed up in the head.

"I know youre in there princess. I promise I wont hurt you if you open the door" He obviously thinks I have STUPID written across my forehead. "Princess. If you choose not to open the door, then consequences will surely come your way. I told you I wont hurt you."

Hastily I open the door, and i see his tall figure standing there.

"Please dont kill me." I said in a barely audible tone.

"Now, now, princess. I wont. They never said you were this beautiful. It would have been a lot easier to slit your throat right here right now. But those innocent eyes...." He trails off rubbing his eyes and shaking his hair all around before locking eyes with me once more. "Get up." I dont move a muscle. "I said to get up!" He is angry now. I slowly get up and come face to face with the man. "Princess, I dont like when people dont follow my orders. Now if you do, then we will be good, if you dont, then you will pay. Understood?" I nod my head frantically. "Come downstairs." I go and he follows me to the door. "Outside..." I open the door and head to the walkway. "Put this on." He hands me a blindfold and i put it one. Tears begin to seep through the blindfold and I can not contain my whimpers anymore. Who thought that I would ever be stuck in this situation again?

I know I didnt.
