Running from my Stalker

Untitled Part 3

I was definitely not going home mum would be home at minute now so I decided to go to the river. I walked to a big rock and sat down at what I had now claimed as mine. I grabbed out my writing book and started to write when a timer on my phone went off. I jumped. I pulled out my phone when I saw it wasn't a timer someone was calling me. Emma. I answered.

"A where are you? Are you okay?" she questioned me.

"Yes I'm fine, I'm at the river" I replied.

"Okay incoming" she hung up the phone.

I just looked down at my hands, it must be lunch break if Emma is coming. I was sat there when I heard footsteps behind me I turned around no one was there.

"Emma? Is that you?" when there was no answer I started to stand up when I heard Emma calling my name from the other side of me.

She sat down next to me. When she saw my concerned face she said,

"Amelia what's...?" I cut her off.

"We have to go," I said standing up when I didn't see her stand up I yelled "Now!"

"Okay," she said sounding a little scared "W...Why!?" she said in between breaths.

"I heard someone behind me and I don't know who it was," I said catching my breath.

"Okay, I think we are far enough away from the lake now," I said as we reached my house. Luckily my mum wasn't home yet, Emma and I walked inside my house and got a drink of water. As we sat down we heard a knock on the door, I got up to answer it. As I opened the door there was no one there but a package so I picked it up and walked up to my room.

"What is it?" questioned Emma.

"I have no clue," I said confused.

"Well open it already," said Emma impatiently

I opened it. As I took the tape off I paused and look at Emma she nodded at me so I continued. As I opened the box I saw a picture of me laughing with Emma. I kept taking out more pictures of me and I started to panic then that's when I saw a note. I picked it up and read the note:

Dear my one, my only sweet, sweet Amelia,

These are some off my favourite photos of you and I wanted to share them with you.

Your one and only... Soulmate 

"Emma?? Is this some sort of joke" I asked her but then I look at her equally confused face as mine. I started to freak out more and more. Emma could tell that I was freaking out and was about to say something when heard the door close.

"Mums home!" I whisper yelled, "Hide the box and get me into bed!"

As we heard mums footsteps coming up the stairs I jumped into bed and Emma hid the box.

"Amelia!? Why are you home?" yelled mum up the stairs

"I...I got sick and I came home! Emma is here with me too" I replied back.

"Oh my god" I heard mum walk to my room.

I started to fake cough as she opened the door. She looked at me and then to Emma then back to me.

"Well Emma I can take it from here go back to school okay?" mum said to Emma still looking at me.

"Okay, Miss Delph-nose" Emma said starting to walk out of the door.

As soon as she left my mum walked over to the bed and sat on the end of it.

"What happened at school? Why are you not there?" mum questioned

"I got...." I got cut off

"And don't lie to me!"

I sighed

"This new kid came into my class and he kept staring at me and then Miss Oliver caught me looking to the back of the classroom where that kid was... Then I looked back and I glared at him and he laughed, and I got into trouble!" I paused and sighed

"Oh" was all mum could get out before I interrupted her.

"I don't want to hear it, mum!" I said standing up and walking out of my room.

I was called back by my mum but I ignored her and grabbed my bag and walked out the front door, and started to walk away from the house. I started to sing to myself as I walked down the bridge.

I felt like I was walking for hours, I looked up at the sky and saw that it was dark. Ok, maybe I have been. I laughed to myself and turned around to walk home. It took me about two hours to get home. As soon as I got home I went to have a shower as I was all sticky from the humid weather outside and went to bed.
