The Picture On The Mantelpiece - Sully's Backstory - My Version (Homicidal Liu)

Chapter Three- Stalked

If you're wondering I just about passed the test. Not like you're here for a test result anyways.

Yawning I stretched before slipping out of bed, "Oh great...another day of school." I complained mumbling to myself going to the living room groggily looking for my clothes that I'd set out the other day.

That was before I heard my mother laughing at me from the kitchen, "Honey, it's a Saturday."

Oh...I'm an idiot.

I decided to play along with this not to look like a complete fool, "I...erm...prepared my clothes for today?"

She raised an eyebrow at me, "But you never go out at.." she swiftly checked her watch before continuing, "6:30."

Raising my hands in defeat I decided not to try and defend myself, "Fine. I thought It was school today, happy mum?"

Mother nodded sipping her coffee, "Good; that you're up before your brother anyway, you can read your letters in peace."

Letters? Who sends letters?

Without another word she passed the envelopes over to me before heading into her office again, god she needs a break, it hurt me sometimes seeing her immediately work as soon as she wakes up until the moment she sleeps.

I had two letters all with an unknown address or a dodgy looking one anyways I'm pretty sure it was a spam letter. Probably from where I've signed up to a weird website or something.

Heading back up into my room, I grabbed an apple so I didn't have to leave there for a while, Saturdays were always laid back for me.

I climbed back into bed switching on my phone laying on my side and scrolling about, nothing interesting. No ones interesting, they all lie about their lives to make them seem interesting.

I mean, normally I talk to Lily but she wakes up late. So, I turned off my phone plopping it next to me.

"Yo' Sul' why are you up so early! You woke me up." Randy groaned sitting up and jumping off the top bunk onto the floor with a thud.

"Why are you being so loud?" I snapped back, I am not a morning person so no one should expect me not to be annoyed in the morning.

Randy grinned spotting my letters, "Ooh~ you got a girl Sully?"

"No."

"What about a-"

"No! I don't know who they're from and it's staying like that I'll throw 'em away."

Rolling his eyes he ignorantly ripped open the letters, I swear that's illegal somewhere in the law books. I just let him do it anyways, not like it bothered me.

Randy took a while to read the letters as he looked more and more...sensible as he read each one. And there I was angry that he'd opened them without my consent.

"Looks like you have a stalker, dude."

My eyes widened as I immediately snatched the pages out of his hand and anxiously read the contents, I hated the idea of people watching me I put extra pressure on myself to make sure the doors are locked never mind this.

Hello, Sullivan.

You won't know me. Yet. But trust me, I know who you are...what you're doing and most importantly what you're hiding.

Confused? Of course you are. You don't know what your hiding. You're hiding your vulnerablablity. Everyone is vulnerable. If I held a knife up to your throat I'd see a totally new person, wouldn't I?
