Affliction

Criminal

Jannabelle's P.O.V

His eyes met mine. Only for a second as he looked around the shop for Evan and I. WHAT DOES HE WANT?

"T-that's my d-dad!" I turned to Evan.

"Your dad?! What's he doing here? Isn't he suppose to be in jail." Evan asked.

"Suppose to, but, now he's heading this way!" I said focusing on Evan. My heart raced.

"L-let's go." Evan and I ran towards the bathroom.

He's the terrifying man I dream
about every night.

He's the reason for all of the heartbreak.

He's a criminal.

I couldn't help the shaking. I shook violently in Evan's warm embrace. Even though he was helping me calm down, this situation was too uncalled for and immensely overwhelming. I felt the intensity heat up in Evan's body. Yet, he kept calm and comforted me.

"He's a criminal!" I yelled.

"Babe, we have to get out of here." Evan said under breath, barley loud enough for me to hear. "Did you see what he did to Jessica?"

A petite woman walked into the ladies room. We lowered our voices.

"Excuse me." She smiled as made her way towards an empty stall. Evan and I stood in the corner of the restroom, as his arms circled around me, engulfing my shaky body in a comforting hug.

"I-it's only b...been ten minutes." I shook. "What if he..he's st-..sti-still out there?"

"We can't stay in the bathroom all day..It's not like he's looking for us. He walked towards us, then we headed for the bathroom." Evan stated.

"What is he doing here, how the fuck did he get out of jail? What was Jessica doing with him?!" I yelled, anger washed over me.

"Call your aunt," Evan suggested. "She'll know what to do."

"Ahem." The lady opened the stall. "I know a way to help you two" She stated.

"How?" Evan and I said in unison.

She winked as a grin spread across her face.
