Obsession

A break up

                                       CHAPTER 2

  Still no notes. We've been waiting for hours. Jaelyn's parents, Laurie and Drew should be coming home tonight. It's 9pm. They were probably delayed. We finally get another note. "Jaelyn! a note!" He runs to grab it. "What does it say?"

"Turn on the TV. Go on channel 8 for a dramatic show."

"Channel 8? But... that's the news channel."

"Just go to channel 8."

"okay. okay." I turn on the TV and I change the channel to channel 8.

"Breaking news! A death on the plane. A couple murdered? The couple was poisoned. The police found a cup of rat poison on the side of the seat. The couple who died was 38 year old Laurie Parker and 37 year old Drew Parker." I was devastated. Jaelyn was furious. He ran upstairs and slammed his bedroom door. I walk upstairs and knocked on his door. "Jae? Babe? Are you alright?" He opened his door looking somber.

"No. That man just killed my parents. I don't think I'll ever be happy."

I hugged him. He avoided. He didn't want to hug me back. He was just too heartbroken.

"I promise we can get through this together." He pushed me off of him.

"This man wants you. He will kill anyone to get to you! I am not taking that chance!"

"What.... What does that mean?"

"It was means what it means!"

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

"I'm saying we're done. Just go. Leave. I am not gonna risk my life for someone else."

"But I thought...."

"No I am not risking my life for someone. I'm sorry. Just go."

I walk out of his room then I stop.

"You know, love meant until death do us part. We live together, we die together. But I guess.... you will never learn." I walk downstairs and close the door behind me. I walk out in the rain to my car. I kept seeing things. It feels like Thanksgiving all over again. Except I'm just seeing these people. I run to my car. I turn the car on but its not working. I see a shadowy figure walking towards me. I try to turn on my car again. No use. I bang my hands on the wheel. The shadowy figure was closer. I lock the doors and try to turn my car on again. "Please work!" I'm yelling. It finally turns on and I hit the gas. I drive. I'm a nervous wreck! I'm shaking on the wheel. The lightning scared me. I see the green light turn red. I slam the breaks. I look around to see a man wearing a black hoodie. I see him everywhere. I look at the car next to me. He was there with a knife. I look in front of me, I see him crossing the street. I just can't get away from him. When the light turn green, I stepped on the gas. I turned. POW! the lightning strikes and sounds like the gun shot from last year. I couldn't help but shake. I go on the freeway. "Dammit," I said, " I'm stuck in traffic." I look around like a nervous wreck. As I'm driving slowly, I pass the accident that was causing traffic. It looked like someone was shot and there was a witness. Oh... that witness was me. I'm just Imagining  things. It was just a car accident. I need to get home but quick.

         As I pull up to my drive way, I see him. He's holding a sign saying, No where to run, No where to hide, You will be mine, Jade Davis. I close my eyes for three seconds. 1....2....3.... I open them. He's not there anymore. I get out of my car. I quickly go to my front door as quick as possible. I unlock my door and go into my house. I shut my door and lock it and run into the living room. I plop on the couch, And I start to see things. I can't imagine life without Jaelyn. I'm all alone and this man is just following me acting like he's a ghost. I hear the door bell ring. I didn't bother getting up. I just watch the news to see what other trouble there is in the news.
