He repeated himself. "Forgive me?" I looked toward the lonely cheat that's on the ground by his foot and smiled for a bit. I look up at him and nod my head, thus forgiving him. I did the right thing, right? He smiles brighter then the sun and hugs me tightly, not wanting to let go until I hug him. So, I wrap both of my arms around his neck and hug him as tightly as he is with me. "I'm so glad you forgave me. Maybe we could do something else later, Okay babe?" I shake my head a little. "Nah, I think I should rest for a bit. Sorry to ruin your plans and all. Could I take a quick 5 minute nap?" He just nods his head. "I'm gonna clean up in here. You sleep baby. Okay? And ugh.. no funny business. Not now at least." I tilt my head. "Never mind. I'll make you a tea, okay?" He turns around and heads for the kitchen. "Green tea please." He just nods his head. He's acting weird. A bit shaky too. He hands me the tea and I head to his room. 

Time: 7:05PM

I wake up and check the time. That was not 5 minutes. I slept for an hour. Damn... My head is killing me. What was in that tea? I find him in the garage and I tell him that I think I'm okay with heading home and thank him so much for helping me out this whole day. I turn on my phone and realize I'm at 10%. So before I go home, I charge my phone and notice a few messages on it. I notice Jack has tried calling me a gazillion times, but I just block him out of my life- over social media, and mentally, and emotionally. So, once that's over and done with, I see I got a long message from Elliot... I read it carefully and find out whats been happening.

That's odd. Why would Jacob say I'm not with him?? We were just talking a few minutes ago. I look away from my phone and notice most of the lights were off and there was a note on the kitchen table. I leave my phone on vibrate and put it in my back pocket- 93% seems to be fine as of right now. I look around and notice he isn't in the house- so I check the windows as well. His car is there. But where is he? I go quickly to see the note and pick it up. I read it out loud;

"Hush now little baby, don't you cry. Sorry it had to end this way. Now that you're all grown up, guess I gotta kill you now. Hush now little baby, don't you cry. Please don't call 911 right now. And if thats the case as of right now, guess you're pretty dead to me, and thats all." 

What the heck is this? Oh, there's a P.S.  "P.S. Don't leave this house, or you're dead to everyone."  What in the name of God, is this shit? Was this some kind of prank? Is he really going to kill me? I text Elliot back and tell him what may be happening and send him the address. Hopefully, I'm not to late in saving myself. After all, I'm my only hope as of now. Right?
