Second Chances

Part Four

Breakfast has been over with for over a hour and he wouldn't leave my fucking apartment. I groaned frustrated as he laid down on my couch with one of my books.

"What do you think you are doing Jarrod?"

He chuckled closing the book looking over at me.

"What does it look like darling I am reading"

He smiled before going back to the book.

"Why are you still here Jarrod?"

I snapped annoyed with the fact that he wouldn't get out of my life so I could be alone once again.

"I am still here because until you don't feel like dying I ain't leavin."

I groaned throwing my hands up before walking out the door. I needed space. I needed to be alone. I just needed to be. I jogged down the stairs my heart was racing I was panicking. I busted through the side door to the alley. I relaxed slightly as I continued to jog. I entered the woods down the trail on the side of the road. Disappearing within the trees. I started to jog faster before breaking out into a run. Dodging branches and bushes and jumping over dead trees. I finally felt free. I step on a fallen tree as I ran then smirking I pushed off with my foot throwing myself up into the air several feet. I started to fall to the ground I flipped in the air landing perfectly on the souls on my feet. I took off running again stopping mere seconds before I would have fallen into the once again angry ocean. I balanced on my heels before taking a couple steps back.

"You can't run you know? I will always follow and be right behind you."

I froze not being able to move.

"How did you catch up to me...?"

I slowly turned around facing him. He stared at me with a small smirk and a killer look in his eyes. The one I knew so well, the one that stared back at me in the mirror every morning. I gasped my heart stopped my breathe got caught in my throat. Black dots filled my vision.

"You are like me..."

I whispered before everything went black and I felt myself falling to the ground as I lost consciousness.
