A month later...
Another letter fell trough the letterbox this morning, I know its from him they are just getting worse. I feel like I am constantly being watched and jump whenever I hear a sound, Tommy is one of my best friends now but becca doesnt know about these letters. I havent actually seen her in a couple of weeks, she has a new boyfriend so they are always 'spending quality time together'. Tommy has been given death threats from the mystery nut AKA joey, my fingers shook as I opened he envelope.
NiCE DrESs BlUE ReaLLy iS YoUr ColOr. ThE clOck Is TIckiNg AnGeL, TimE Is RunnInG OuT. YoU AnD ToMmY HaD BeTtEr WaTcH YoUr bAcKs Im LoOSiNg My PaTIenCe.
I dropped the letter as my phone rang, it was a witheld one. "Hello?" I said, heavy breathing and muffled sentances answered. "Tick tock time is running out" the voice said, "Joey stop messing me about you are actually crazy you need help!" I said, "what makes you think im Joey?" It said. "What do you want? Leave me and Tommy alone" I said my voice shaking a little, "you know your mom really shouldnt walk home alone when its dark" the voice whispered.
"You leave her alone, just leave her alone!" I said, the voice laughed as the phone went dead. I dropped my phne and slid to the floor, he was going to hurt my mom I couldnt let him hurt her. I started to sob as the doorbell rang and I backed away into the corner.They kept knocking as I stayed quiet, the person left as I heard a sound from the back garden. I had left the back door open, I heard footsteps approaching me as I grabbed an umbrella.
I stayed in the corner rying not to let my sobs escape as they came round the corner, I ran out and hit them with the umbrella as they squealed. "Woah crazy girl stop it its only me" Tommy said as I dropped the umbrella, "im sorry I thought you were Joey I actually did" I said as I broke down in tears. He pulled me into him as he shushed me, "its okay Angel whats happened?" he asked.
"He rang me and sent me a letter, hes going to hurt my mom" I sobbed into his chest as the doorbell rang, "angel go upstairs ok stay there until I come and find you" Tommy said letting me go and standing up. "No if its him he will literally kill you!" I said, "its a risk im willing to take i'll do anything to keep you safe" he whispered. "Tommy I" I started, "go angel go" he said as I ran upstairs and hid in the airing cupboard. I heard shouting, then things smashing. I covered my ears not daring to breathe as I heard someone yell "where is she?" the voice said they sounded angry.
"I told you shes not here now leave" Tommy said as I heard a thud and footsteps up the stairs, I held my breath as a shadow walked past slamming doors and throwing things. I heard the cupboard handle turn a smashing sound, a thud then silence. "Its ok Angel you can come out now" Tommy said as I slowly pushed the door open and saw Joey on the floor knocked out cold.
Tommy had a cut above his eye, a smashed up face and a cut lip. He pulled out his mobile and dialled a number "police please" he said as he gave them directions to the house. I heard sighing as I looked down and saw Joey moving, "get me some rope or something" Tommy said. I ran into the bedroom and came back with a dressing gown cord, Tommy tied it round Joeys hands as I heard sirens. Joey was awake now and he was pretty annoyed, he couldnt do anything now though. I heard the doorbell as I went to answer it surveying the damage downstairs, picture frames were smashed and vases but it wasnt as bad as I had thought.
I opened the door to see a police officer, "hello miss we had a call from this address?" he said. "Erm yeah upstairs" I said stepping aside to let them in, they came back down with Joey in handcuffs and the letters that he had sent us both. "Thank you sir, you should probably get yourself seen by a doctor" the officer said. "Will do thanks" he said as Joey was put into the car, "come on lets get you cleaned up" I said taking his wrist and pulling him towards the kitchen.
He sat down on the stool as I hunted out the first aid kit and some cotton wool. "This might sting a little" I said dipping the cotton wool into savlon, I ran it over the cut on his head as his fingers curled into a ball and he winced. "Sorry" I said, "its fine" he replied as I started on his lip. "There all done" I aid going to the freezer and pulling out a bag of frozen peas, "here put this on your cheek it will take the swellng down" I said placing it on his cheek.
"You know Tommy you didnt need to do that for me" I said moving his fringe away from the cut on his head. "I couldnt let him hurt you" he said his brown eyes locked to my face, "it was really sweet so thank you" I replied as he placed his hand on the hand that was holding the peas. "No thank you" he replied, "what for?" I questioned. "Being amazing" his said stroking my cheek with his free hand, "anyone would think you were flirting with me Tommy" I said smiling.
"So what if I was" he smiled, "then I guess I would do this" I said leaning towards him. My lips met his as I gently kissed him, he kissed me back as he slipped his tongue in between my parted lips. What was I doing? I cant get into aother relationship, I pulled away as Tommy looked at me. "Ok well that happened" he said, "im so sorry I didnt mean to kiss you I dont know what came over me" I said. "Its fine really I kind of liked it" he said as I smiled, does this mean im in love with my best friend???
