Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter twenty seven

Lauren's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning. Around 5. Not a good start. I went to the living room and sat on the couch clutching my phone. After around an hour, it started ringing. The only problem was... No caller id. They probably turned it off so we couldn't track them down, smart. I answered it, not knowing what else to do at that moment. All that was heard was heavy breathing. Deep. Strong. Thick breathing. I ended quickly freaked out by it all. I took a deep breath and thought to myself "just a prank call. That's all it is. A prank"
Then I got a text. From an unknown number, but this time I could call back if I wanted too. But I couldn't do it at that moment. I was too freaked out to do that now.
I opened the message that read:

"I know you, you know me. You don't know it now. But you know me. Not smart are you? Sat on your couch. All alone. I could strike now if I wanted. Geez, I thought them pictures would've taught you not to be alone. Guess I'll have to take it further huh? God Laury, don't change much do you?
And that Steven?
Tut.
Tut.
Tut.
He's stupid for leaving you, ain't he? But on the other hand, he's stupid for being with you. I mean, it's you.
Well, I guess that's enough said, bye Laury ;)"

What. The. HELL?!
It sounds familiar. Really really familiar. Too much. I read the text. Over and over again. I didn't text back. I was shaking so hard that I physically couldn't. I didn't know what to do. I really didn't.

"Hey." I heard a croaky voice say before I spin my head around to see Steven entering the room.

"Oh hey" I locked my phone so he couldn't see it.

"Why you up so early?"

"I could ask you the same thing" I replied cockily but chuckling at the same time.

"True. Well I need caffeine." He chuckled as he got up and walked into the to the kitchen. "Well shit."

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Outta milk. And coffee. I'll go to the store real quick." He pecked me on the lips and went to get changed. So I decided to text back the unknown guy.

"I don't know you! I don't know how you have my number, how you got them pictures and I certainly don't know how you know where I am at every second. But if you keep it up. I'm definitely going to the police. So stop!" I sent the message and left it. I was so panicked about it. But I kept thinking about before I was with Steven, when I was with, him.
Anyway. He used to text me. And call me that.

~flashback~
(Texting)

Jay: ho Laury

Lauren: Heya. What's up?

Jay: Nithung
Wen u bavk?"

Lauren: Not sure why? I'm still on set so it might take a while

Incoming call from "jay <3"

"Yeah?" I answered the call.

"How many times do I have to tell you?! When I ask you a question, you answer properly! And how many times do i have to tell you about that Steve? KEEP AWAY!"

"How do you know I'm near him?" I asked, my voice quiet.

"I know everything... I know that Emily slut is a few feat away. I know that Melissa lass is standing with that Norman freak! And I know that Steve is heading towards you! So no funny business." He ended the call. I wasn't surprised he was watching... He's that type of person, but I just try and see past it.

~end of flashback~

I sighed and went to the bathroom.
"I'm gonna take a shower Steve!" I shouted across my apartment.

"Alright, I'm off to the store! Be back soon!" Then I heard him leave.

I took my shower and wrapped a towel round me. I got dry, threw on some clothes and headed for my room until I heard the door open and close. I walked near the door but saw nothing. No voice. No noise. Nothing.

"Hello? Steve?" I walked into the living room and still no Steve. "Steven this isn't funny!"

"Steve. Steve. Steve. Is that all you talk about?." A manly voice said.
I stayed still, recognising the voice from somewhere.

"Such a whore Laury... Such a whore"
I turned around to come face to face with him.
"Long time, no see" he grabbed my wrist and pushed me back but I didn't fall.

"Jay?" I said. The worry and shock rushing through me.
