That Man

/16/

     School was soon to start. Riley had helped me through my time in life over the break. Always making sure I'm happy and not so sad and tired. She's not aware of what's really going on with me, and really no one knows. I'll just have to keep it that way.

     So currently I'm packing my Christmas presents away and hanging up my new clothes I got. I'd have to say I'm very pleased for what I got this year. Cute shirts and bottoms. I was actually proud of my family for the great gifts they got me.

     "Oh hey look...this is a really cute necklace" Riley picks up my new necklace I got for Christmas this year. It's a pearl necklace with a tiny gold chain.

     "Thanks, my dad got it for me" I walk over and observe the tiny object. It came from his heart and all I could ask for really is just him. My dad has always been close with me, and it kills me that he has no idea what I've done. Brings shame to me personally.

     I flicker my eyes away quickly, not wanting to cry. I've been good at keeping my emotions inside me. I know it's not good for your health, but I have to stay strong and ready for what comes in my way now. I'm all I got in this.

     "Hey uh...lets watch a movie" I suggest. I kick back and flop on my bed taking in my comfortable bed that brings me comfort.

     "I swear your bed is literally like a cloud" Riley plops down with me, feeling relaxed as well. "You want to trade beds?"

     I let out a chuckle and then give her a serious look at her. "No" I smile.

     "Loser" she sticks her tongue at me earning a thump on her forehead. "Ow" she rubs her head.

     I can't help but laugh even more. "What do you want to watch?"

David's POV:

     Beauty surrounds me every second. Her face everywhere as I flicker my eyes to each wall in my room. "Stella" I whisper to myself.

     It brings anger to me as I remember the moment when I almost choked her. God how can I be so stupid. I grip my fist tighter, wanting to tear myself to shreds. I blew it. I could've gotten her back. I could've made her feel our connection again if I had just been patient with us.

     But that doesn't matter because she is mine either way. She will always be mine. My baby girl is just being stubborn that's it, she's just clueless at the moment. No one will have her, but me.

     Speaking of that, I'm surprised she hasn't tired to run off with someone else because well, I'd have to hurt the guy who ever tries to take what's mine. Simple as that.

     I brush off that thought and stand up. I head over to my desk still admiring her beautiful on my wall. How her lips are turned up into a smirk as she looks at her phone. She's truly a goddess. I bring my fingers to my lips and place it over to the picture with her beautiful lips purred into a sexy smirk.

     "Soon my love" I say and grab my camera.

     I haven't been able to take pictures of my gorgeous Stella lately due to her always being inside her house with the windows closed and locked, but maybe this time it's unlock. I guess 6th time is the charm.

     I cruise over to her house, savoring the drive to her home. It's 1:48 in the morning. I hope she forgot to lock her window. With that I'm outside her house slowly creeping up to her window. Butterflies swarm my stomach as I hear her voice talking. "Thank you baby for cooperating with me" I whisper.

     I carefully peek my eyes around her room, trying my best not to get caught. Once my eyes land on her, I practically burst into flames. She always manages to light something within me. Even if it's just her presence, she will always make me feel alive.

I breathe in the fresh air as I gawk at her more. I set my camera up further on top of her window, getting the right positions of her.

     "So Zack, What do you have planned?"

     As the name Zack comes from her lips, I shake with anger, fear, and non other pain. I flicker my eyes to her face. She didn't just say a guys name. She didn't. My Stella would never.

     "How about we meet...Tuesday?" She flops onto her bed. Her feet dangling off the bed as she twirls her lovely dark hair.

     I spring up from my crouching position. My whole body boiling with pure anger laced in it. Images begin popping their way into my head of Stella with other men. Them touching her like I use too. How I was the one to only make her feel good.

    I turn back around to glance at her once more. Reaching into the pockets of my jeans, I pull out my phone. I quickly go to her contact to call her. Hoping she will pick up. I bring the phone to my ear, listening to the constant ringing as I watch her stare at her phone.

     "Please pick up the phone" I pace around the wet grass, still freshly cut. My feet ache from standing still. I need to move, I need to feel her. When I hear the call end, I panic.

     Shes...forgotten me. Shes left me. I-...no she will never forget me. I'll make sure of it.

     And with that, I wipe the hot tears off of my face. Still staring at my Stella. If I can't have her, no one will. I'll make sure of it.
