(Chapter 15)
"Back to the Earth"

Thursday, February 26
1:30am

The Admirer pulled off his mask.

"NO!"

"Hi, Jill," Cameron said.

"WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! I've known you almost all my life!" Jillian cried out hysterically.

"Exactly. And you never gave me a fucking second look. You always saw me as a friend. Nothing more. No matter how hard I tried to get your attention, how many times I've asked you out, how much I tried to tell you I love you." He ranted.

"Love me?! You've been terrorising me for two weeks! You've been stalking me, you've been watching me while I sleep, you beat up Darren, you broke into my house, you attacked me! That's not love Cameron!"

"My love for you is real! It always has been! You were too much of a selfish bitch to see that. I waited patiently for you for years, even when you were with sawyer. I had to pay that slut to come on to him at that party so you could see he wasn't worth your time."

"Wait... Sawyer never really cheated on me?! You paid a girl to force herself on him when he was drunk?!"

"And he took the bait."

"You broke us up! You put both of us through hell!"

"I did it for us."

"There is no us!"

"But now there is."

"If you think I'm going to be with you after this, you're crazy!"

"Crazy?! You think I'm crazy?" He fumed.

"Why wouldn't you just say something to my face?!"

"You don't get it! I wanted you to notice me on your own. I wanted you to fall in love with me on your terms. But you always overlooked me as the stupid kid next door."

"I never thought you were stupid. I always considered you a friend."

"Only a friend?"

"Cameron..." she tried to reason.

"NO! Enough of this!"

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm true to my word, Jillian. If I can't have you, no one else will."

"Wait, Cameron, no!"

"Sorry, Jill. You had a million chances and you blew it. Not it's over."

"No, you wouldn't hurt me."

"I didn't want to. But you left me no choice."

"JESSE!" Jillian screamed.

There was banging coming from Jesses bedroom.

"Jillian! We're locked in!" Jesse yelled through the door.

"You locked them in her room?" Jillian demanded.

"Boarded them up. It was quick. Couldn't let them interrupt," He told her.

"They're just going to call the police!"

"They won't get here in time. It's over."

Cameron lunged at her, grabbing her and holding her tight

"Let me go!" Jillian groaned.

Cameron pinned her to the wall with his hands on her throat.
Jillian couldn't breathe.
She was losing her ability to fight back.
She couldn't break away.

"It's over now," Cameron told her.

In Jesse's bedroom, the three of them were in a panic.

"That motherfucker locked us in here!" Jesse seethed.

"This door won't budge. Whatever he did, he did it well," Luke said.

"So what the fuck do we do?! He could be hurting her right now," Shae worried.

"Do you have your phone on you?" Jesse asked her.

"Of course."

"Then call the damn police!"

"Okay!"

"Can you hear anything?" Jesse turned back to Luke.

"I heard screaming and a man's voice, but now it stopped," he explained.

"HE COULD BE FUCKING KILLING HER RIGHT NOW, DO SOMETHING!"

"Can you get out that window and onto the roof?"

"I think so."

"Get on the roof and either burst into her room or jump off and go open the front door and get in that way."

"I'm not going to be able to get in her room through that window."

"Then go out and open the front door!"

"Okay, help me out!"

Back in Jillian's bedroom, she tried to get free, tried to move her legs, but she couldn't feel them, she couldn't breathe.
Her world started to get dark

"JILLIAN?!" Jesse yelled from downstairs.

Cameron's grip loosened, startled

Jillian quickly kicked him off of her.

She groaned and hit the floor.
Get up, get up, get up.

Jillian tried to stand, but Cameron shoved her back down.
He got on top of her.
Cameron's hands were at her throat again, even more forceful.
With the last of her strength, Jillian brought her knee up and into his groin.

Cameron toppled over onto the floor.
Jillian got to her feet just as Jesse burst into the room.

"JILLIAN!"

Jillian fell over again.

She passed out while the sounds of sirens came closer.
