Okay Michelle breathe in and out. Okay i can do it..

"Your doing great, keep breathing"

How did he find me?, oh my word, that sounded like Dean. I'm going crazy right now, I haven't seen or heard from him since i ended things with him and that was like four years ago.

"Michelle!" I heard Kristen call out my name

"I called Kristen and Jayden over a while ago." Ian whispered in my ear.

"Are you okay, what happened?"

After all that breathing, I was finally calm and breathing regularly. "I'm fine."

"What happened" Jayden said as he pulled me in for a hug.

"I..I got a call from an unknown number. I went ahead and answered it but i got a fright at the person on the other end. He sound like Dean but i think I'm going crazy. I haven't seen him since..." I stopped myself abruptly, not wanting to finish the sentence.

"What did the person say?" Ian asked.

"He asked me if i missed him and he said he missed me. I asked him who he was and he said I'll find out soon,very soon."

"Okay well if it is him, we won't let him hurt you okay?" Jayden assured.

-------

Its been two weeks of planning and working. Honestly, I don't know how I did it. After that call, I've been a little bit on edge but I'm controlling it.

Christian's birthday is today and to say that he is happy would be a major  understatement. He's been jumping up and down since he woke up. The party only starts at twelve o'clock. Kristien, Jayden and Liam came over earlier to help.

-----

The party was in full swing, kids were running around playing with each other. The whole family came to the party and enjoyed themselves. Ian came to the party too, he said he wouldn't miss it for the world.

"Okay everyone it's time for cake" Kristen said as she helped gather everyone so we could sing for Christian. Everyone surrounded Christian and began to sing as I placed the aeroplane cake in front of him. After singing, we cut the cake and served it to everyone.

"Honey you did a great job with the party." My mom said and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

"Thanks mom, and thank you all for helping today, I couldn't have done all this without you guys."

"Glade we could help." Kristien said and they all agreed.

My dad came by my side an wrapped an arm around my shoulder." How you doing baby girl?" He asked

"I'm good" I said with a smile that didn't reach my eyes.

"Honey, how are you really?"

"To be frank with you dad I'm freaking out. I terrified and...I'm so on edge. This week I've been so skeptical about letting Christian go to school while that creep is around. My mind is a mess and I'm stressed."

Dad turned and pulled me in for a hug. He kissed my forehead and said, "Everything is going to be okay, We're here for you. But i have to ask, do you think it has something to do with..." he said as he left his sentence incomplete. I knew what he meant.
