"It all started with a bag of groceries" continued part

News

Mia's sister freaked out over the phone before Mia's phone died.

"Do you have a charger?"

"Mhm, yeah let me go get it."

Getting up, he went upstairs to go retrieve a charger for her. She went to throw away the plastic container of sliced fruit that they had finished and found pictures of Lee sleeping in it. Picking them up, she went through them as they were utterly disturbing. One of them was of him sleeping in his room even.

"Hey I got a charger-"

Lee saw her looking at the photos and frowned.

"No wonder you panicked, these are so disturbing." Mia said looking up at Lee.

"Yeah, I was scared to sleep here but I didn't know who I could stay with. I would've gotten a hotel room but I thought of going to the police." He shrugged. "I hope I'm not burdening you with all this drama."

Mia shook her head. "You aren't. Well, since we are now friends I guess, you can always text me or come by if you need anything."

"Really?" She nodded as she plugged her phone in. "Here let me give you my number."

They exchanged phone numbers and later chilled on Lee's giant couch before Mia unexpectedly fell asleep. She opened her eyes slowly to find Lee shirtless and in sweat pants

"Hey, sorry you kinda fell asleep on my couch." He said as he walked in his kitchen. "Don't worry I put your groceries in my fridge so they wouldn't go bad."

"Oh-thanks." She said stretching. "I should probably get going."

She got up as Lee gathered her groceries. Calling a taxi, she walked out the front door as Lee stayed inside as he didn't want the taxi driver knowing that he lived there.

Mia arrived home at her small apartment as she lived with her sister. Once she opened the door, their dog greeted her.

"Hey Benny!" She smiled as she petted their dog.

It was a small little beagle. Wagging its tail, it barked as her sister woke up.

"Hey."

"Hi." Her sister yawned as she hugged her. "Benny's barking woke me up. Anyway I'm gonna go back to bed."

Mia laughed as her sister tiredly walked to her room. Putting up the groceries, Mia walked to her own room. Her phone dinged as she smiled.

Lee: hope you got home safe. just wanted to say thank you for the groceries and for helping me yesterday night.

Mia: oh no problem, always happy to help. you should be okay now since that lady is in jail now.

Lee: yeah but I'm now nervous of someone approaching me

Mia: it's okay, I wouldn't blame you. but remember to just be yourself, for those fans aren't like the one you encountered yesterday.

Lee: I suppose you're right. anyway I'm heading to the gym so I'll ttyl

Mia: alright, ttyl

She turned off her phone as she lit a candle in her room while she turned on her small tv. A show was just beginning, one called Pushing Daisies. It was the first episode of the show and Mia immediately noticed Lee in it. Fairly quickly she binged watched a few episodes before blowing out the candle. Exhausted she decided to take a nap.

Lee was running on a treadmill when he heard a tv.

"The women Anslie Gundaman was arrested for assaulting and stalking the famous actor Lee Pace, who is known for staring as Ned in Pushing Daisies and is rumoured to be in the upcoming hobbit movies. Lee called the police after she was said to try and forcefully kiss him as she supposedly had followed him around and even took pictures of him sleeping from his bedroom window, one even inside his house."

Sighing, Lee got up as the news played. Walking outside he took a break and took a sip of water. As he was jogging, a car seemed to be slowly driving next to him.
