"Im sorry.." I whispered before I stepped out the door.
I was in tears by the time I got home, I sat in my car, it was dark out now, I was by myself and Eric still hadn't been caught.
Gabe said that he didn't think Eric was even in town anymore, but nobody knew for sure.
While I was still in the locked car I turned in my seat and took a pair of leggings, a tank top, and new underwear and shoved them into a bag with a few other things in it, I also pulled my duffle bag from the back seat and opened the car door.
I almost ran to my house, when I got inside I slammed the door shut. I took my things to my bedroom and changed my clothes.
While I was changing I could have sworn I saw a flashlight outside my window, not wanting to take any chances I called the police station and reported it.
I figured my father would be the responding officer, while we stood on the front deck and I gave my statement and another officer walked around my house.
Before my father left I could see headlights pulling into my driveway. Lucas parked behind my escalade and got out of his.
"What's going on?" He asked my father.
"She thinks someone was watching her change clothes through the window." My father said.
Lucas looked at me, then back to my dad. Before anyone could say anything else I walked inside and shut the door.
I sat by myself for about 15 minutes before Lucas barged in.
"Are they gone?" I asked him.
"Yea.." He paused then opened his mouth to say something else, before he could I walked to my bedroom.
I got a wrap and some weed out of the top of my closet and went back to the kitchen.
Lucas rolled it up and handed it back to me.
"I understand your going through a lot right now, but you don't need to take it out on me."
I didn't say anything because he was right, I was taking my anger out on him and he hasn't done anything but help me.
We sat and smoked in silence, when the blunt was gone I could feel its effects sweeping over me. I felt so light, so good, happy even.
"It's getting late, you should probably go." I said, knowing Lucas would disagree.
"I'm not leaving you here like this! For goodness sake Marie, that creep was lurking around your house! Your high as a kite. I'm not going anywhere."
Lucas disappeared into my room to put the bottom half of my bed together.
After a few minutes I went in after him, I decided to get a shower. Before I went into the bathroom I took out the black, see through, lace lingerie set that I'd bought today. Lucas was still putting the bed together so he didn't even see me get it out.
While I was in the shower I made sure my body was shaved and scrubbed, then I moved on to my hair.
When I finished I took my time using my hair dryer to blow my curls dry, I brushed through it and let it hang down my back.
I looked over my body in the mirror on the back of the bathroom door, the lingerie was definitely see through, but didn't reveal much.
When I walked out of the bathroom, Lucas was putting the brand new bed set on my new bed.
He looked over at me, his eyes widened as he looked me up and down. He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me.
