The Wrong Guy

Chapter Five

I laid in bed thinking about the events  that unfolded yesterday. It was gloomy outside today. The sky began to rumble and made me shiver a bit. I'll be honest, I feel somewhat uneasy. Not only from the blow up yesterday but because I was alone right now. I turned my phone on and when it came to life I had twenty-four text messages and nine missed calls from Kurt. Each missed call had a voice message. They were marked all throughout the night. Didn't he sleep? I shook my head in disgust that someone so sweet can act like this. It was unreal.
I got up and made coffee then sat at the kitchen island. The hole was still in the wall. I needed to get it fixed. I swallowed hard then grabbed my phone dialing Zane's number.
"Hey Jenna", he said a bit groggily.
"I didn't wake you, did I"?
He said no. I asked if he could possibly patch a hole I had in the wall. He said of course and he would be over in a few hours.
What do I say if he asks what happened? This is Zane. A man I spent almost five years with. I can't lie to him. He would know anyway.
My phone started to ring just then. It was Kurt. I hit decline. A few seconds later it pinged.
Don't ignore me Jenna!
I replied  back a bit rudely.
What the hell do you want from me?
Another ping.
I just want you. After the other night of mind blowing sex I just fell in love and want you forever. Is that so bad? I want to taste you.
I cringed and wrote.
That was a mistake. It just happened. And I had only met you two days before. This is insane. I need you to stop.
A few minutes passed when my phone pinged again.
MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER STOP!
I didn't reply anymore. I said what I needed to say. Why is he being so stubborn?
I opened Facebook to check the notifications. It was full of posts from Kurt. So I had to check it out. His new profile picture was the one of him and I kissing at the park. His whole timeline was full of me. Every post he said he was in love or found the perfect one and one was the other picture of us saying future Mr. and Mrs. Foster.
I was starting to get nauseous. I hit the unfriend button and left his page.
What the fuck? I finished my coffee and got dressed. I went to my photography page and posted that if anyone needs a photographer to let me know, I will travel a bit, but only in California. It's been a while since I posted there. I had quite a few followers on it and I've had jobs from people who saw it, so it can't hurt.
I looked out of my bedroom window at the rain falling. When will this stop?
Rainy days don't make good photography days. At least not outside. Although I have taken pictures of rain. It's amazing how with the right lens and stabilization you can capture a rain drop.
I was in deep thought when my phone pinged.
YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME 😈
It was from Kurt. I wasn't sure what he meant so I foolishly asked,
Meaning?
FACEBOOK
I went back to notifications and tapped on Kurt's name and sure enough, we are still friends. But I unfriended him!  How the hell is this happening?
My phone pinged again.
I'M HERE, FOREVER BABY!
I was starting to get mad. I texted back.
Just leave me alone. You're not the same guy I first met. I don't know who you are. Stop texting and calling me!
Kurt just replied back with an 👁 emoji. An eye? What did that mean?
This guy is insane. If only I never made that profile. Then I just remembered, MeetMe. I logged into my account and didn't care if I had messages, I hit deactivate account. It was gone. Thank god. But now I have to get rid of Kurt. How do I do that when I tried and failed?
Just then there was a knock at the door. I got up to answer it. It was Zane.
"Thank you", I said letting him in.
He smiled and said, "No problem".
We walked over to the wall that needs fixing and he looked at me puzzled.
"What happened here"?
My face drained of all color and I sat down crying. Zane came over and hugged me and asked, "What's wrong"?
"The guy I met, turns out he's not who I thought". I began. "He flipped out when I ended it and punched the wall".
Zane looked mad. I knew I couldn't lie to him, but I don't want him to do something stupid.
"He could've hit you Jenna or worse. People with short fuses are dangerous people".
I wiped my eyes and asked, "How do I get him to go away when he won't"?
"Call the police".
I scoffed. "Yeah and what are they going to do? They don't do anything until someone ends up dead".
Zane comforted me then patched the hole. He said it will take a few hours to dry, so not to touch it.
I told Zane I unfriended Kurt on Facebook but he's still my friend. Zane wanted to know about this guy so I told him. When I mentioned he's a computer tech he said, "So he's good with computers, maybe he hacked your account. Don't purchase anything online, don't check in anywhere on Facebook and most of all Be careful with your surroundings"
Zane hugged me and kissed my cheek, "I'll always care for you Jenna".
Zane left and I felt super vulnerable. I was yet again, alone. If only I weren't allergic to dogs I can get one to protect me. The rained continued throughout the day just making everything miserable. By the time Hanna got home we were both starving. I hadn't eaten anything today from all the crap that I've been through.
"Let me change and we can get something. You've been cooped up all day"
Hanna donned a pair of jeans and T-shirt them grabbed her bag. We headed out toward her car and drove to pizza place where we ordered a white pizza and fries. We sat down in the back of the pizza place for quiet so we can talk.
"Zane came and fixed the wall. I told him about Kurt", I blurted out.
Hanna's eyes grew wide, "And"?
I sighed, "He wants me safe. He told me to be careful".
I took a bite of my pizza then looked up to see Kurt coming in. My face basically fell. Hanna turned to see what made me turn white.
Kurt stood there staring at us.
Hanna turned back and asked, "How did he know where we were"?
I had no idea. He started to come closer and I out my hand up, "Stop".
"Hi beautiful", he said as he stopped in his tracks. "Hanna", she said looking at her. Then focused his eyes back on me.
"Are you following me"? I calmly asked.
He just smiled an evil smile. Then turned and said, "I'm everywhere". Then he left.
