I love November!
Thanksgiving Break
Thanksgiving Dinner
Macy's Parade
Family
Adalynn's POV
I'm bored eating in the kitchen when my mom comes in and asks, "Could you grab a few groceries for me?" Knowing my mom, she's really just telling me to go.
"Of course!" I say, happy to finally be doing something.
She hands me a list of everything we need and then hugs me. "Thank you!"
I grab my phone and wallet and walk to the garage. I get into my car and start the engine. On my way to the store, I noticed a car following me. Maybe they're also going to the store?
I take several random turns and realize that car is following me! It's tinted, so I can't even see who. I continue making turns and try to lose the red car. I glance at my rearview mirror and see the vehicle is still behind me. My heartbeat begins to quicken.
I grab my phone and ask Siri, "Call Boyfriend aka Asshole." That's a cringey contact name.
"What's up, girlfriend?" Ashton asks. I feel my heart rate slow down, and I breathe.
I fight back a smile and say seriously, "I think someone is following me."
"Where are you?" Ashton asks, concerned.
"I was supposed to head to Target to buy groceries... But now, I don't know what to do." I say.
"Are you wearing the necklace I gave you?" Ashton asks.
"Really? You're worried about that..." I say, rolling my eyes.
"Don't be mad," Ashton says.
"What did you do?" I ask.
"There's a tracker on your necklace. It was only for Evanescent purposes, I swear!" He confesses.
"You're not as creepy as you think you are. I might have put a tracker on the watch I gave you." I mumble.
"And here I thought you cared about me," Ashton says. I can't tell if he's sad or joking.
"I do!" I shout. "I mean, it was for Evanescent purposes... I just didn't want anything bad happening to you." I say quietly.
"And nothing will," Ashton says softly. "Are you still being followed?"
I glance at my mirror and see no one trailing behind me. "Lynn? Are you still there?" Ashton asks
"There's no one following me," I say. "Maybe I am being paranoid..."
"Understandable. Do you want me to meet you at Target?" Ashton asks, trying to ease my mind.
"That's okay. I won't be too long." I say, driving into the Target parking lot. I enter the building and take out the grocery list.
Sweet Potatoes
Garlic
Onions
Bread Rolls
Apple Pie
This seems easy enough. Yay, pie! I grab a cart and start looking for the products. 30 minutes later, I finally head to the register. I'm sure candy was not a part of the list. After I pay, I carry the grocery bags to the car.
I open the trunk and start loading the bags in. I close the trunk and realize a red car is parked beside me. The windows are also tinted, and I begin to panic when the door opens. I don't have enough time to grab the gun inside my car but sigh with relief when I see it's just Mila. I didn't know she got a new car.
"Hey, Adalynn!" She says, smirking. "Funny seeing you here."
"I was just buying groceries for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner," I say.
She walks toward me and frowns. "Aww, that's a shame..." Suspicious. Escape!
"What is?" I ask, slowly inching towards the driver's side.
"You won't be with your family tomorrow..." She says, reaching for my neck. I gasp and see her trying to insert a needle into my neck.
I punch her face, and she stumbles back. "Fucking bitch." I mutter, trying to get into my car. Mila stops me from closing my car door, and I kick her side.
Another person opens the passenger car door and shoves me toward Mila. She wraps her hand around my neck and quickly inserts the needle.
I grab the knife I keep at the bottom of my shoe and stab her arm. "You motherfucker!" She screams with wide eyes.
My vision starts to blur, and I begin to feel woozy. The other person from before picks me up from my seat, and I try to click the panic button on my key.
"I don't think so." Mila grunts, grabbing my keys. "Nighty night bitch." I hear her whisper before blacking out.
