E M M A

I haven't spoke to Ethan since the day he found out where I live. It's been almost over 2 weeks, and I've received multiple texts from him with apologies and all sorts.

I know he's not a catfish, of course, but I don't know him well full stop. He could still be some type of pedophile from the corner shop that has contact with older men! I mean, it's a possibility, right?

Right now, I'm contemplating whether to just block his number or not. It's not like it's my fault we got in contact, he had the wrong number in the first place. It would make sense if I just stop speaking to him — like I have done.

I slowly sit myself up on my bed, taking my phone into my hands and giving it a twirl.

As I view my lock screen, there are multiple messages from Ethan;

ethan: em :(

ethan: pls just talk to me.

ethan: :/ i'm so sorry, i need you to speak to me emma, rlly.

ethan: fine

ethan: it's been like two weeks anyway

ethan: i guess you don't want to speak to me anymore

ethan: i miss u

ethan: i will miss u.

Ugh, this is killing me.

I shove my phone into my jumper pocket and jump up off of my bed. I fix the cuffs at the bottom of my skinny jeans by pulling them down a little and slipping my vans on.

"Mom!" I yell downstairs, walking over to the top of the staircase.

I walk down and hear her yell back from the kitchen, "Yes?"

I trot on downstairs quickly, one step at a time.

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back for dinner." I tell her as I walk over to the kitchen and grab my door keys.

"Okay, see you soon." She gives me a smile then diverts her eyes back to the newspaper she was casually reading while sipping some tea.

I take a seat on the dodgy, old, rusty swing in the deserted 'blue park', gently being swung by the cool wind and shivering slightly. I prop my leg up onto the seat and take out my phone.

There's nobody here and it's only 5, I thought there would be more people here, I guess not.

I look around to see if anyone was near, seen as this was a small part centred by a bunch of large houses.

My phone vibrates in my hand as I squint my eyes from my hair blowing about in my face, I look down and see a few blue messages.

Oh, lucky me, it's from Ethan.

ethan: why are you alone?

ethan: it's gonna get dark soon, go home.

ethan: it's dangerous out here.

you: you can see me?!

ethan: i'm looking right at you, em..

you: creep!1!1!!

you: jks but i just needed some air

ethan: oh ok

you: sooo..

ethan: what

you: you're not your usual 'n4n', smiley or enthusiastic self. what's wrong?

ethan: nothing.

you: you're lying.

I look around the houses, into each window to see if he's watching me but I can see anyone. I scrunch up my face from the harsh wind blowing down on me as I look back down to my phone.

you: where are you?

you: ethan

you: now you're airing

you: ok

ethan: i'm not airing

ethan: you need to go.

you: omfg wHY

ethan: bc it's gonna get dark soon and you shouldn't be out this late!

you: wow sorry dAD!1!1!1!!

ethan: :/

I eventually put my phone back into my pocket, ignoring the vibration of my phone on my hand which eventually stops.

I take a moment to inhale the crisp, cold air, watching a few leaves blow by from one side to the next then in a circle — fascinating me in a way.

"You need to go, Emma." A masculine, deep, husky voice startled me as I jump to my feet and turning into a defence mode — my hands up into balled fists, my legs a little apart.

Well, for a second that lasted.

I release the grip of my hands and straighten my body, shaken by the figure in front of me. I let out a small breath which seemed to be cut off by a choked gulp in the back of my throat.

"Ethan."
