98- Haunting My Safe Place

I sat on my porch watching the stars twinkle and gleam though the streetlights dimmed the intensity of the starlight. I couldn't sleep, the shadow now haunts my sleep and when I wake up all I see is the figure.

I lit my cigarette taking in the toxic like smoke from the addiction I call a cigarette. I sighed and leaned back in the chair on the porch, resting my eyes but quickly opening them as I heard leaves crunch. I looked up to see nothing there...like always, I resumed to the cigarette and then threw it on the ground. I crushed it with my slide ons.

I closed my eyes once again and thought about my life a few months back. My life was on a track, getting better. My dad just got a promotion, summer started, and I was expecting to find the love of my life. I did but nothing like I expected. This summer was just a bunch of chaos, hell the school year is almost just as bad as my summer.

Sometimes I think if my life would've been better without Gerard, as bad as that sounds you have to look at the events. After I met Gerard all of this shit goes down, I miss when I first started dating him and he took me to his castle and everything was perfect. Maybe I'm selfish but I can't help to think this way.

I love Gerard with all my heart but after meeting him most of my life went downhill which makes me think. Did I choose love over family? It was never my intention to ruin anything...but I guess the harm is done. I just have to look forward, I sighed aching for another cigarette but was interrupted from my thoughts by Gerard coming outside.

"Hey why are you still up?" Gerard asked sitting next to me

"Just thinking." I sighed and looked at the stars

"Wanna go for a walk?" Gerard asked

"Gerard if you haven't noticed it's twelve in the morning."

"Oh is Violet scared?" He teased

"No you- oh fine let's go." I sighed not wanting to argue

We walked off the porch and walked beside the road

"So you want to tell me why you're really up?" Gerard asked smirking a bit

God he's a smart fuck

"The shadow is haunting my sleep and following me, watching me. To be quite honest it's scaring the living shit out of me." I explained running fingers through my hair

"Oh princess I'm so sorry, you're safe I promise." He smiled and kissed my forehead pulling me into a hug

I then heard a rustle in the woods and I looked off to see the shadow. I screamed into Gerard's chest and he held me tightly

"Is the shadow here?" Gerard asked

I nodded my head keeping my eyes closed in his chest

"Where?"

I then pointed to where the shadow was and peeked my eyes to see nothing there

"There's nothing there Violet."

"You believe, please say you do."

"I do it's just bothering me how you basically have a stalk-" He started but finished mid sentence "Let's get you home."

He picked me up, bridal style and carried me home. He set me on the bed, kissed my forehead and laid next to me.

"You're safe with me princess." He assured as I cuddled into his side

That was the first night in awhile the shadow didn't haunt my sleep
