Axel? What are you doing here? Her face expression showed how unhappy she was to see me. She was just confused I thought, so the first thing that came out of my mouth was "It's been a long time, how are you doing?". She gave me a cold stare that cut right through my heart and feelings. I tried to hug her, but she quickly pushed me away as far as possible and said " I have a boyfriend, you need to leave now Axel" I couldn't believe what my ears were hearing, she must be scared of her boyfriend or a friend seeing us, so I replied "Eve, everything is ok, no one will see us, we can go somewhere else and talk this out. I know about your boyfriend and friends, I planned this reunion so no one could bother us, so please follow me". She looked at me in the eyes as if I were some kind of monster and quickly asked " have you been stalking me?" I was quickly trying to find an excuse for what I had just said, but then she asked again " How did you know where I live?"Things were escalating at a high speed, and I needed to find a solution, so my plan could work out.
I started to panic as she started to raise her voice, I couldn't concentrate as she kept saying things like "Get away from me", "Leave me alone, I am going to call the cops". I didn't want her neighbors or anyone else to think I was trying to harm her, so I had to act fast. I covered her mouth with my left hand so she would stop screaming, I stood behind her and picked her up. I quickly ran towards my car, hoping no one would see me, opened my back door and threw her in the car. I know she must be thinking I'm trying to kidnap her, but later on she would understand this is for a greater good. I rapidly got in the front seat, locked the doors, and as soon as I started the engine , her phone started to ring. How stupid could I have been for not thinking about her phone? She would obviously try to call 911 or someone for help. I turned around and she was struggling to take her phone out of her packet, which gave me enough time to put my hand on her phone and without any efforts, I was able to take it away from her. I hung up the call, and started driving, she soon started to pull my hair and arms so I could return her phone. Eve was becoming a distraction to my driving. I rolled the window down and threw her phone out of the car and she was really mad after that.
Our destination was not too far from her house, a little abandoned house a few blocks away. I kept telling her to relax, that everything was going to be just fine, but she wouldn't listen. We were about to arrive, when her face started to get really pale, she looked very sick, her eyes started to close and I saw her slowly faint. We had finally arrived, and I had to drag her out of the car. I am very glad it was already dark, as no one could really see what I was doing. I took her inside the house and waited around 25 minutes until she woke up at last. She opened her eyes and gave me a stare that I would never forget, it was like she had her biggest nightmare in front of her. She ran towards one of the corners of the room we were in, and could not stop shaking. I had a really bad feeling about this whole situation, this was not supposed to be like this, we were supposed to be talking about old memories, and laughing together, as I said her name "E, she started to scream "HELP". I knew no one could hear us, but suddenly I heard a knock on the door.
