Mia

It's been a couple weeks of taking care of Hannah. I stopped sleeping over at her house because I was coming late to my college classes, because she would hold me up so much; but I'd still come over and do my homework there.

Her cast was ready to come off in a couple of days and I was sitting on her bed while she was taking a shower. She was making a milkshake but forgot the lid and got it everywhere. Of course I had to clean it up, but whatever. She said she'll let me have a cup when she's done.

Currently, I was doing my research on art, back in the day, for my essay I was doing. My head was hurting and so I wanted to stop, but I knew If I stopped I wouldn't get anything done. I stared at the screen for a second before shutting my laptop anyway, laying back on Hannah's bed.

Fuck this.

I took off my glasses and rubbed my face. I was supposed to wear glasses 24/7 but I think wearing glasses makes me look stupid so I only wear them if I need to. I heard the water turn off and not too long after, Hannah came hobbling with her crutches.

"I'm so ready for this thing to come off." She growled, sitting next to me. "Can you grab some clothes for me babe?"

I sighed and grabbed a random shirt and pajama pants, throwing it next to her. She paused, looking at me.

"Are you still mad?" she asked softly. I scoffed.

"Why would I be mad? Mistakes happen." I shrug.

"Sorry...I just assumed."

"It's fine Hannah, just get dressed. You promised me a milkshake." we both laughed and I heard a knock at the door. Was it Miller?

"Shut my door please!" she called. I carefully shut it and peeked through the eyehole. No one. I slowly opened the door and looked down, seeing more flowers and a note. My stomach clenched. I almost didn't want to pick it up. I looked around for the culprit but saw no one.

This was getting ridiculous. Who the hell was sending these? I picked up the items, shutting and locking the door. I plopped on the couch and ripped it open. I folded it open and was disgusting by what I saw.

I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you

-A

I didn't feel very loved. I felt sick. I got up and immediately threw both of them in the trash. I was so sick and tired of this bullshit! Who the hell was 'A' and why is he obsessed with me? Damnit!

I was asking Andrew about it and he was asking me weird questions like: "you don't like them?" "obviously this guy is in love with you..." "you should appreciate them."

Shit like that.

It almost made me think he was the one but he couldn't have been. He just moved here. Unless he was lying, which he isn't. Over the few weeks we've met up a lot and I knew him a lot better. He dosent seem like the stalker type, but I think he likes me.

He just seems like a quiet nerd who enjoys reading and drawing.

Speaking of which, I said I was going to meet him tomorrow.

Hannah opened the door, her towel around her shoulders, her blonde hair still wet. "Who was it?" she asked, swinging between her crutches.

"A" I huffed. She rolled her eyes and made her way over to me.

"We're gonna catch this guy alright? Don't even worry 'bout it." I smiled at her sucky attempt to make me feel better.

"Don't worry about catching creeps, you have a milkshake to make." I winked.

"Not gonna let that go, huh?"

"Nope."

She rolled her eyes and smiled. "Fine."

"Don't forget the lid!" I yelled after her. Next time I won't be cleaning it up. I'm not that good of a friend. I sat on the couch, my mind wandering. Who could be obsessed with a person like me? I'm a geek. I sit in my room all day and look at memes.

How often does A even watch me? Could he be watching me right now? I tried to sneakily look out the window without turning my head. I couldn't see anyone. I'm just being paranoid.

I sigh and hear the whirling on the blender. No screams. Nice.

Once Hannah was done, we drank some milkshakes and then sang songs and danced to music pretty much all night. We have similar tastes in music. She wanted to help me forget about him so we watched some funny videos and soon I had to leave.

I never finished my paper.

I made sure Mia got to her dorm safely then headed home myself. How could she throw away my flowers and notes? That took me five minutes to write. I bit my lip as I pulled up to my house and went inside, making sure to lock everything.

I was home alone. Like always. Seeing Mia every other day wasn't working for me. I wanted to see her every day. I wanted to touch her for every second I was awake. I was on the verge of taking her right now.

I drew in a breath and bit my tongue hard to snap myself back into reality. I need to just calm down. I kicked off my shoes and went to my shrine room. I knelt down and took a deep breath. I scanned the room, happy with myself for filling the wall to the max. Not a piece of wall was showing.

This was room was my second biggest achievement. Well, first for now. This was seven years of hard, careful work; so expertly planned out and well written. Blood sweat and tears went into everything. This house, my shrine room, my car, Mia's room, everything.

I was quite proud of myself.

I grabbed my journal and started writing.

Why did you throw away my letter, love? To be honest, it kind of hurt my feelings. I do love you, even if you don't think so. Everything in this journal is true. I love you so much, and I can't wait to have a future with you. You're my everything.

I was becoming very happy with how my journal log was coming along. I couldn't wait to finally give it to Mia on our wedding day. She'd be so happy to see my undying love for her. She'd never have second thoughts about leaving me. She'd never have second thoughts about my love for her. Everything will be fantastic.
