His Unhealthy Obsession

Chapter 22

Liane's P.O.V

3 months later

"Hey babe how was your therapy session?" Justin asked asked as he helped me into the car

"It was great Amber is a great coach as always. We have a lot in common so it's not awkward during our two hours together."

"Do you feel any changes? Like does it feel like your walking is improving?" He asked with concern clear on his face

I chuckled "It's only a few classes but it feels like there has been a few great changes. There's still along way to go but as long as I have my one man support system around I'll be fine." I gave him a kiss on the cheek which made his face brighten

"OK I'll be there for you always." He said with a look of seriousness

After leaving the hospital and starting my therapy things have been quiet which I am very happy about but its too early to relax. I know what I saw in that funeral home and it wasn't the right person. Justin has allowed my to crash at his place for a while, which his parents were skeptical but also inviting. Seeing that Justin is busy with some mathlethes competition I am stuck at the house alone.

I don't feel like there's anyone watching me but there is something not right with the things around me. Sometimes when I'm alone I hear strange sounds like footstep or tapping on the windows. At first I blamed it on the house because it's old but now it's become more and more frequent. Also sometimes my clothes go missing, maybe a pair of underwear or a shirt. I blamed it on my forgetfulness because the always show up after a few days but they had strange wet marks on them so I end throwing them away. I just want to be able to get away from the paranoia and so I have decided to take a stroll. Seeing as my legs are still that of a baby deer I decided to use my wheelchair.

As I made my way down the sidewalk I decided to stop to the convenient store and buy a tub of ice cream to maybe calm myself down. As I made my way to the freezer section I happily picked a tub of cookie dough ice cream and then made my way to the front of the store. I turned my head absentmindedly as the cashier scanned the item. Out of the corner my eye there was a person wearing a black hoodie and dark glasses. My blood ran cold as the person looked directly at me and started walking in my direction. My eyes went wide and my heart beat accelerated as they got closer to me. Just as I was about to scream the person walked past me and out of the store.

"Ma'am. Ma'am! Your things" The cashier said bringing me back to reality

"Thank you." I said as I took the bag and made my way out of the store.

While going back to the house I made sure to look both down both sides of the sidewalk to make sure no one was following me. I got back in the house and made my way to the living room to watch some television. With my ice cream in hand I sat content with a comedy that was playing savouring the frozen treat's flavour. At some point I started to dose off until I felt a warm had on my shoulder. I screamed in fear and jumped out of my wheelchair onto the hard wood floor. I layer on the floor groaning in pain as someone rubber my back comfortingly.

"Liane are you okay?" I looked up surprised to see Justin's dad looking unsure of what to do

"I'm fine but can you please help me up?" He looked reluctant but allowed me to wrap my arms around his neck as he helped me back into the wheelchair. We locked eyes for a second and he turned away scratching the back of his head awkwardly. He stared at me for a second before turning around and walking into the kitchen. 'That was weird." I thought to myself. A few seconds later Justin walked through the door and helped me back to my temporary room, seeing as I'm sure his parents don't want us sleeping in the same room together.

"So how was your day?" I asked as he sat me down on the bed

"Practice was the same old same old. Anything happened with you?" He asked

"Well bedsides your dad nearly giving me a heart attack." I joked but then my mood changed as I contemplated whether or not to tell him about earlier

"Well something else did happen." I said twiddling my fingers together

He looked at me with concern "What happened?"

"It's just lately I've been having this feeling that someone's watching me. Again. It's just that at the store I thought this person was watching me but I think I'm being paranoid. Am I going crazy?"

"No your not. It's okay to feel this way you went through a lot SL these thought won't go away so soon but you need to relax yourself and I will be there to help. Okay?" He said while holding my hand

I let out a sigh "Okay I'll take your word but of I end up missing I'm blaming you." I said jokingly which made him frown

"Don't say things like that. I'll protect you. It will be okay just trust me." He said while hugging me

I looked behind him and saw a slight flash from the corner of the room.

" Will it really be okay?"
