Alone

Stalker...

I wake up, now in my bed. I wonder how I got here? Whatever. I grab my phone and instantly remember that I forgot to text Lukas like he told me. I check the time. 3 AM. I go to his texts and open it.

Monday 3:14 pm

Lukas: Hi sweet cheeks :-)

3:30 pm

Lukas: Why aren't you answering me?

Tuesday 4:01 pm

Lukas: Hey baby ;-)

5:24 pm

Lukas: If you don't answer me, I will find your address and come to it.

6:33 pm

Lukas: You asked for it babe.

I just about had a heart attack. My heart started to beat fast, and I force myself to take deep breaths. Should I tell Tyler? No. Not yet. Only when it gets out of hand, I don't want to worry him. Plus, he makes me nervous. He's so tall and cute. His eyes just catch me off guard, making butterfly's appear in my stomach.

I quickly text him back.

Today, Wednesday 3:47 am

Summer: No don't do that. I forgot and got distracted.

I set my phone down, not expecting him to answer at this time in the morning. but then my phone buzzes. My heart starts to beat a little faster as I pick up my phone to read the text.

Wednesday 3:48 am

Lukas: Too late sweet cakes. <3 <3 <3

Summer: No please stop

Lukas: Almost there

I just about jump out of my bed. I stumble into the hallway, walking towards Tyler's room. I feel my nerves grow as I get closer. Suddenly my phone vibrates as I was about to open the door.

I tap to reveal the image. It shows the outside of my house. Not Tyler's house, my house. I gasp loudly.

Lukas: Why do you live so far from school?

I feel relief wash over me. Sure, it's creepy that he went there, but for now I'm safe. I was about to text him back, when I suddenly hear a door open. I jump a bit. Tyler's mom walks sleepily out of her room.

"what are you doing out here so late, and on your phone?" she asks, sounding irritated. Before I could answer, she snatches my phone away. "Grounded. I'll give you the consequences tomorrow. Go to bed." she says, staring at me as if I came off the bottom of her shoe.

I walk into my bedroom, feeling sudden tears sting my eyes. Why me? I hate it here... I mentally kick myself for crying. I hate that I'm so sensitive. I've always been sensitive, but ever since these recent events, I've only gotten worse.

I cuddle Candy, fighting my tears. I finally fall asleep.

Tyler's POV.

I wake up to my alarm clock blaring. I turn it off, hoping in the shower. I finish quickly, then pick out a pair of jeans and grey shirt. I slip into a white hoodie, then head downstairs. I walk into the kitchen and am surprised at what I hear.

"You will take care of doing the dishes,vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms,And making sure everything is clean, for a month. No phone as well, and no going outside, other than to go to school. Ah ah ah no crying, wipe those tears Missy."

I look in to see that it was my mom talking to Summer, who was sniffling and wiping her face, obviously having trouble controlling her sobbing. I'm stunned at this, and am rendered speechless. I walk in, the shock still written on my face.

"Mom, what's going on?" I ask, glancing at summers face. All her little features are sad. Her big brown eyes seem to be even bigger, and they carry a heavy sadness. Her tiny nose twitches as she tries to control her sniffling. Her pink lips tremble slightly.

"she was being a bad girl."

Bad girl? She's not a dog...

"Bad girl..?" I say, giving mom a quizzical look.

" she was standing in the hallway in the middle of the night, on her phone!" Mom says, as if that explains everything. I have to admit, that is a bit strange, but giving her every chore in the house is definitely not a fit punishment.

"Mom, that makes absolutely no sense! That's too harsh of a punishment for something as stupid as that!"

"Don't raise your voice at me! Go to school before I make the punishment harsher, and believe me you wouldn't want that."

I storm out of the house, summer following close behind. I couldn't understand why my mother was acting like this. I get in the car, ready to get to school. I hand Summer some tissues, then drive off.

We arrive and head to class. It really irritated me that Lukas got Summer to sit next to him. I can't even tell what goes on back there,but all I know is that it scares Summer really bad.

Finally class ends, and we make our way out of class. Summers little body is once again shaking, and I feel the urge to warm her up. She heads off to her class and I head off to mine. As I walk down the hall, suddenly I'm shoved into the lockers. My shoulder erupts in pain. I look up to see Lukas and a few of his friends laughing. They aren't that much taller than me,considering that I'm 6 foot 3, and still growing.

They act like huge jerks. I can't believe I was ever their friend once. I still would be their friend if I didn't call the cops on them that night. But it had to be done, what they were doing was illegal, and I was not getting into that sh*t.

I glare at Lukas, who is smirking at me. "what do you want?" I ask him. Him and his friends laugh. "It's simple really, just stay away from my girl." he didn't understand how impossible that is. I literally live with her.

"yeah bro, not happening," I say and start to walk away. "dumb *ss I hear one of them mutter.Lukas grabs me by the shoulder and spins me around. "stay away from her, or else I will tell her about who you used to be. Who you really are." He says smirking.

I glare at him, pulling away from him. "Fine," I say, and walk away. She wasn't about to find out that I used to be one of them, walking around the school as if I was the best. Doing stupid things, bad things, that I still regret. I don't even know why I did them, I didn't even want to. Lukas and his friends pressured me and....I don't know...
