I woke up screaming.
Well I think and hope it was all a dream that I had woke up from.
At that moment I remembered all that happened yesterday beginning with the exam, the stalking and most importantly the death of that women on the train.
Suddenly I heard my Aunt Zoe came in from work, must of finished her night shift for her to only come in now.
I go downstairs to see her.
While walking down the stirs I debate whether to tell her all that happened yesterday.
I mean will anything that happened affect her?
What is she ends up getting hurt all because of what I am going through?
And the fact that she did not know what was going on?
After all of my thinking I reach the end of the stairs and walk towards the kitchen.
I see her making me breakfast in her uniform for work. She sees walk in. I decide to greet her as I sit down.
"Good Morning Aunt Zoe"
She reply's back sweetly as ever. I don't think I have ever seen her get mad at me for something I have done badly she has just decided to listen to me . And hear me out
"Good morning Amy. How did you sleep? Oh and more importantly how did that exam o yesterday?"
"It went I think. But I did struggle to concentrate but I got it done with the best I could."
"That's good then we will just have to wait to see your results. Which I am sure they will be all be splendid grades and are enough to take the year off."
"How was work Aunt Zoe?"
"As always quiet which was good cause I have a really bad headache. But there was this fight in there over something at the up most stupidest."
"OMG, really? I wish I was there now to see it. HAHA what happened? Did you kick them out?"
"Sadly sweetie I did not get to kick them out. But I wanted too. They both walked out with blooded knuckles and blood pouring from their noses."
"OMG I so wish I was there."
Aunt Zoe works at the diner on weekends starting from Fridays.
During the week she works at an office as a secretary.
She works really hard to have the money to live on. She is the best and I would not wish for anyone better. EVER. She managed to save up a lot of money to travel the world together took her years but it is both of our dreams to so we made it a reality.She supports me and always says that if someone pressured her on who she would want to protect me or her, she said she would never hesitate to choose me instantly. But the thing is that if I end up having to leave to protect her, I would not hesitate ever to protect her. And she knows that, so if it does have to happen to leave her to keep her safety then I will do it.
"Amy, Earth to Amy" Aunt Zoe said bringing me from my thoughts. She waved her hand in front of my face.
"Sorry Aunt Zoe I must of blacked out." I said trying to act as if I was ok. But it obviously did not work.
"It's okay Sweetheart. Is there anything troubling you? Anything you feel like you can't tell me, I am here for you. ALWAYS." She said as a worried look crossed her face.
"Thank you. But I can assure you I am ok just tired." I smiled sweetly at her.
I tried my best again to lie. I hate lying to her, I could tell her everything before but now there is a really big secret I can't tell anyone and I have got to keep it to my self. So that NOBODY gets hurt by the stalker or by my mistake of telling anyone.
"It's ok. I just want you to know I am always here for you. And I hope you always know that. Now are you hungry because I made breakfast. Your FAVOURITE." She says brining me back from my thoughts.
" I do Aunt Zoe thank you. And also thank you for my favourite meal. PANCAKES." I said smiling sweetly and as soon as I saw the pack of pancakes smothered in syrup I screamed.
I hate having to lie but its for her own benefit. I just hope it is enough to protect her from the stalker.
Is it enough?
Why did this have to happen?
And to me when and were did I go wrong in life to get this ?
I hope the stalker whoever he is goes away.
