A Stalker In Compton

Chapter 18

I got out the bed then put the clothes on that Eric gave me last night. He wasn't in bed with me or nowhere in the room. I walked to the guest bedroom then peeked in the doorway to see Alizza sleeping. I walked back into Eric's bedroom. I felt something crinkle under my foot, do I removed it and saw a folded piece of paper on the ground. Please don't let this be another note.

"You can't runaway from your own home. You're an unfit mother. Let me make it easier on you and take the little one off your hands. This is the last time I will say it. WATCH YOUR BACK.

"Oh my God," I started panicking. "Eric?"

He came into the room wearing some jeans. "Baby you okay?"

"Eric I-" He cut me off.

"Hol' up. Why is the window open?"

"What? I thought you opened it."

"No I always keep it closed."

"Shit. You think someone broke in?"

"I hope not."

"How long have you been up?"

"About five minutes."

"Oh. I thought I felt you move."

"Yeah I was downstairs looking for the gasoline for ya car."

"Thanks baby." I wrapped my arms around his neck then started kissing his face.

He laid me on the bed as we made out.

"Mm, I love you," I said in between kisses.

"I love you too." He slid his hand under my shirt and rubbed my stomach.  He moved his hand lower then started rubbing my clit.

"You read the note I left you?" He asked.

I stopped kissing him. "What did you say?"

"The note I wrote. Did you read it?"

I sat up then pushed him away. "You're the one who wrote the note?"

"Yeah Ange. Who else would?"

"Oh my God. Stay away from me."

"Why would I do that?" He started to come close to me.

"Eric I mean it stay away from me."

"Angela come here." He grabbed my arm.

"No!" I snatched away from him. I ran then busted into the guest bedroom and grabbed Alizza.

"Angela what are you doing?"

"Why are you stalking me?"

"What? I love you, I would never stalk you."

"Bullshit! All the clues point to you."

"Angela just talk to me baby."

Alizza had her legs wrapped around me with her head on my shoulder. Eric almost had me backed into a corner. I took my chance and elbowed him in the stomach. He groaned and I dashed downstairs with my daughter in my arms.

I grabbed the $700 off the table then grabbed the gasoline that was during by the door. I'm wearing men's boxers and a large black T- shirt. Oh well.

I heard him coming down the stairs so I left the house real quick. The whole time we were walking I kept checking my surroundings to make sure Eric wasn't following me. I hated walking outside dressed like this. When I got to my car I rushed to get the gas in it, all I wanted was to get out of here with my daughter.

After putting gas in my car I strapped Alizza in the backseat. She was halfway asleep. I got in the driver seat then sighed in relief as the engine roared to life. I sped off down the street.

--

I sat on a chair by a window in my living just staring outside. I was lost in my head with some many thoughts running through my brain. I used the money and paid my late bills. They eventually turned my shit back on, thank God. I'm left with $300 but I know it's gonna run out on something soon. I still need a job.

Tears started to roll down my face as I thought about Eric. I actually thought me and him had a chance, unlike me and Damian.

I let myself get played by Damian Knight and Eazy-E. At least Eric didn't leave me all alone with a baby.

"Momma why you crying?" Alizza asked me.

"I'm not crying," I lied.

She climbed onto my lap and rested her little innocent head on my chest. I wrapped my around her, I love her and she's all I got.

"Is it my fault my daddy is dead?"

"No Lizza. Why do you think that?"

"I never see him. Grandma say he left before I was here."

"It's not you're fault, okay? It was never your fault. You're daddy just want a good person and then God kicked his ass. But he was ready to see you."

"Really?"

"Mhm. He called me and said he was ready to see his little girl. He knew your were a girl."

"What about Eric?"

"Eric's different."

"How?"

"He just is."

"I love you momma."

"I love you too Lizza." I squeezed her tightly not wanting to let go. This little girl is my everything. "You want something to eat?"

"Hotdogs!"

I laughed. "Okay. Hotdogs it is. Get up."

She hopped off then ran into the kitchen with me following behind her.

"Get the ketchup and mustard."

I turned the stove on then the power went out. Are you fucking serious?

"I already paid the money you stupid bitches!" I shouted.

"What's a bitch?" Alizza asked.

"Don't say that word. That's a grown up word."

"Sorry momma."

"Come on." We walked to the living room until I heard glass break and a few thuds.

"What's that?"

"I don't know. Stay here."

It almost felt like the same thing that happened yesterday. Call me crazy but it's like somebody is staring directly at me as I walked down the hallway.

I heard a banging sound coming from the bathroom. I slowly opened the door. As soon as it opened completely a fist flew at my face and I fell back on the ground.

Someone else came up and kicked me in my stomach. I jerked in pain.

"Just like in the parking lot huh?" A voice asked. I recognized it.

"Who are you?" I cried.

"Tie her up!"

"No! Somebody help me please!"

I kicked and screamed but the tied my hands and pour duck tape over my mouth. As they carried me out the door I saw Alizza huffing behind the couch.

No. My daughter!

Some crazy shit huh? I'll update again soon. Vote and comment.
