I pulled my keys out of my pocket as I approached the building, breath clouding around my head. I unlocked the door and quickly stepped inside. I pulled the food out of my bag, placing it and my drink onto the table. Pajama time. Then food. I walked upstairs, dropping my bag in my office. Tossing my phone onto the bed I grabbed my pajamas out of a drawer and drifted into the bathroom to change. I threw my clothes into a basket and walked back down stairs. I went to get my food and drink, when I saw a folded piece of paper under the bag. Strange, the table was empty where I put my food. I pulled the paper out from under the bag and unfolded it, a note. Addressed to me? The paper had evidence of erased words, and whole lines scribbled out. Who ever wrote this wanted it to be perfect.
It read, My darling,
I was appalled when you walked into that sad excuse for a "fast food joint" as you would call it. I couldn't believe that a being like you would dare put filth like that into your body. I was overjoyed when I realized that you had instead gotten food from the store next door. I apologize for any trouble I may have caused you in the ally, but when I saw what had happened to your beautiful face. Well, I couldn't help but gasp. I cannot help feeling responsible, I was not there to protect you. I know that you, my love, are more than capable of taking care of yourself. However you shouldn't have to. I will take care of the scum that dared mess with my подсолнечник.* I hope that you heal soon.
Forever and always,
Your Admirer
My mind was blank except for two things,
WTF
and
I need to call the cops
The note fell from my hands and I reached for my phone. It wasn't in my pocket. Crap! I left it upstairs on my bed! My mind was full of curses as I dashed up the stairs. I nearly ran into a wall as I skidded to a stop in front of the mattress. I scanned over the green coated mattress for my black cased phone. THERE! I grabbed it, nearly dropping it in my panic. I raced back down the stairs, nearly slipping, and snatched the note off the floor. Except, there was no note. WHERES THE NOTE. I was screaming internally. I scanned the floor, thinking the note may have slid. Nothing. I looked up at the table. Maybe I dropped it there? No note. I must have searched the entire room three times in twelve minutes. D-did I imagine it? No. I remember it perfectly. Ok. I'm going to sit down, eat my food, and think about what is going on. I grabbed my food out of the bag and began to munch on the still warm burger. Where could it have gone, unless. . . The person who left it took it! I shoved the last bite of burger into my mouth and began to search the entire building. Either find them or evidence of them. I didn't think about what I would do if I found them, however it wasn't an issue. I found absolutely nothing, no open windows, unlocked doors, moved items. Nothing. I growled in frustration, walking back to the table that housed my fries and drink. I snatched the soda, drinking angrily. I glanced around to see a new piece of paper, sitting on the table. I picked it up, unfolding slowly. It also had erased words. It read, My подсолнечник,*
I am sorry that I scared you. I do not know why you care about that sorry excuse for a human, but I shall leave him alone for now. However if he gets no punishment for what has happened I WILL take things into my own hands. I will not kill him, for your sake. Please don't alert the police, or we will meet sooner than intended.
Eternally yours,
Admirer
Sooo if the trial proves him 'innocent' my 'admirer' will go after him. Huh.
I was strangely calm, or in shock; not quite sure yet. I set the note down, and flopped into a chair. I absent-mindedly began to eat my fries.
They can get in and out of my home with no trace.
Munch
They know what happens to me
Crunch
They follow me around
Om
They probably know where I go to school and work
Nom
There is nothing I can do.
With that final thought I finished off my fries. I sighed, throwing away my trash. I should try to relax, I also need to study. I'll study. I walked up stairs to my study, and sat in front of my computer. Turning it on I began to review my notes on science, social studies, and field medicine.
------------------2 hours later-------------
I'm done, attention span used up. I closed the notes and opened a text document. I'll do a quick free write, then go to bed. I began to type.
-------Another hour and a half-----------
I glanced up at the clock. I should go to bed now to be well rested for tomorrow's finals. I saved my work and turned the computer off. I walked into my room and fell onto my mattress. I barely remembered to plug my phone in, before I fell asleep.
