\ROSS P.O.V/

I whisper, "I got you, I got you ." In Katie's ear . Eventually, she dozes off . I look in the middle seat and Rydel has fallen asleep in Ellington's arms .

"Ross . Somebody's following us ." Riker informs .

"It's probably just Rocky and Se ." I shrug it off.

No one really follows anyone . Either they're going to the same place or have one turn behind you .

"No . They're in front of us ." He says .

"That's a little weird ." Ratliff speaks .

"I'm gonna see if they really are . " Riker tells us .

"How do you expect to do that ?" I ask .

"I'm gonna do a u-turn up here and if the do one too hen they're following us ." Riker says .

"What if they have to do a u-turn to ?" I comment .

"I'll do it in the middle of no where so there's no way they have to as well ." Rike explains.

"Do it ." Ratliff orders .

I reposition Katie so she won't hit her head when we do the quick turn .

"Watch the car, bro. " Riker orders.

"Ready ?" He adds .

"Yeah ." Ratliff answers .

Riker quickly does a U-turn and shockingly the car sets up for one as well . We catch just a glimpse of the follower . The driver gives us a wicked, creepy smile and I realize who it is quickly .

"HOLY SHIT !" Riker exclaims .

Rydel and Katie stir awake .

"What's going on ?" Katie mumbles .

"Just go back to sleep, baby girl ." I try to keep her calm . I don't think it's normal to tell your fiancé that you think she has a stalker .

"Ross, tell me ." Katie orders .

I stay silent . I don't want to lie to Katie . I've never lied to her, and that's been a first .

"Somebody tell us what's going on !" Rydel says getting annoyed .

"Troy is following us !" Ryland fires back . I almost forgot he was even in the car .

"What .?!?" The girls stammer out .

"Troy has been following since the restaurant ." I tell my frightened fiancé .

"It'll be okay . I promise ." Ratliff pull Rydel closer and I pull Katie back onto my lap .

"Guys he just turned around ." Riker tells .

"Where's he going ?" I ask .

"What if he started following Rocky and Se to find out were we live ." Katie says panicked .

"How would he know that we are all going to the same place ?" Ellington chips in .

"Unless he was listening to us in the parking lot ." Rydel says coldly .

"Shit . She's probably right !" Ratliff exclaims .

"Call them!" I get ordered .

*Phone Conversation*

Ross: Rocky ! We think Troy is following you . He was following us but he turned around .

Rocky: I know . We have this weird van following us .

Ross : Do a U-turn quickly and meet us at the BP gas station about 3 miles away from y'all's house .

Rocky : Okay , we'll be right there in 10 .

*
End of Phone Conversation*

"
Alright . Here's the plan . We are going to pull up into this BP station and they'll meet us here in about 10 minutes ." I explain .

"Where are we gonna go, after the gas station ?" Rydel replies .

"Well . Ally is out of town . And her house is about 5 minutes from BP . Sierra and I still have a spare key for emergencies . We can get there quickly and lock all door and windows . After, we can all just sleep in Sierra and I's old room . It's big enough for all of us . We will even lock the bedroom door just to be safe . " Katie suggests .

"That could work if we can lose him long enough ." Riker compliments while pulling into the gas station .

"What about the cars ? I'm sure he memorized them by now ." Rydel speaks again . I can tell my big sister is scared but yet in shock that she has a stalker .

"There's a car gate, were we can pull back and lock it so he won't be able to see the cars even if he looked ." She explains .

That was the end of the conversation for that . We wait in the van, engine still on, for Sierra and Rocky . As soon as Rocky and Sierra pull up they announce they've lost Troy but he was turning around once they turned the corner .

"I say we leave Sierra's car here and all take the van . The car gate only holds one car ." Katie rushes .

"But my car .." Sierra complains .

"Hurry . Let's go . We'll get it later . Plus it will kinda be a decoy ." Rydel hurries .

Soon we are all piling in the van and I cradle Katie in my arms . Katie explains the plan to Sierra and Rocky with a muffled voice since her head is in my chest .

"Okay, we're here . Let's get inside . Quick ." Riker orders .

Sierra gets the house key ready . Riker opens the drivers door first and we all follow his actions . We rush towards the house . Sierra sticks the key in the correct spot and pushes the door open . Katie locks the door behind her, both locks . We split into groups and walk around the house checking to see if every door is locked and locking every window . Sierra leads us to her and Katie's old bedroom, which is technically still Sierra's but she's never there anyway . We all file into the room . Ryland looks out the blinds .

"Guys, I think he just passed ." He says .

"Let's turn off the lights, excepts a few lamps . " Sierra suggest switching a lamp on .

"I'll stay up ." Riker says .

"Wake me up at 1:00 a.m and I'll watch . " Rocky orders .

"Then you can wake me up at 5 and I'll watch the rest ." I say .

"Just stay with me, when you do ." Katie begs .

"I will ." I assure .

"Sleeping arrangements ?" Ratliff says .

"Well me and Rocky can have my bed, Ross and Katie is Katie's old bed, Ratliff and Rydel on the air mattress, Ryland on a floor pallet and who ever is keeping watch the chair by the blinds ." Sierra says .

We listen and tuck into our assigned places .
