A New Beginning

Teasing

We ordered our food and ate before we walked down the street to a boutique. We started looking at the racks before she started picking out a few outfits to try on. We walked back to the dressing rooms and I tried on all the outfits she picked. We decided on a red skirt with a black top and a few accessories.

“I can’t believe you tricked me into coming to lunch so you could pick out what I’m going to wear to dinner.” I laughed, “But thank you anyway.”

“It was the only way I could think of to get you to let me do it. So what time are you going?”

“We are leaving the house at 7”

“Good, so you’ll have plenty of time to get ready.”

“Yea, I should be good. I guess I’ll head home now and rest a bit before I get ready.” I smiled and hugged Iris

“Have fun and be safe!” She smiled big and crossed the street to go back to work. She turned and waved just before she walked inside. I got in my car and drove back to the house. I made a few turns and noticed a car was following me. I got nervous real fast. I called the house to see if anyone was there. If they had left, I wasn’t going there with this car tailing me. No one answered the first time, but I tried again. This time Niall answered.

“Hey, what’s up?” he asked.

“I think I’m being followed.” I said quietly. I wasn’t sure why I was talking so low, it’s not like the person in the car behind me could hear me.

“Are you sure?”

“Yea,” I said a little louder. “They’ve been behind me since I left Iris.” I was so scared at this point.

“Alright, keep driving here and we will be outside when you get here.”

“Ok, thanks, Niall” We hung up and I continued driving to the house. As we got closer to the house, the car behind me slowed and fell back a bit. I turned in the driveway and parked. Niall and Zayn walked over to the car just as the car that had been tailing me drove slowly past the driveway as we all watched. It was Ryan. I should have figured.

“What the fuck?” I said, annoyed. “What is his problem?” I grabbed my bags and turned to storm in the house, both the guys following me inside. I stomped up the stairs and threw my bags down beside my bed, ignoring the fact that they had both followed me upstairs. Suddenly my phone rang. We all looked at it; it was Ryan. Did he seriously think he could threaten me now? I mean, yea, the following thing had scared me, but it could have been anyone in that car.

“Put it on speaker when you answer it” Niall said. I answered and pressed the speaker button.

“What the hell do you want?” I asked.

“I just wanted to see how you were doing.” He stated simply.

“Bullshit. Why were you following me?”

“I wanted to see how you were, what you were doing.”

“You mean you wanted to spy on me, see if you could get me alone, possibly.” I suggested. He laughed.

“Well, of course. I can’t very well give you what you deserve with other people around, now can I?” I was furious. Apparently the guys were pissed too. Niall took my phone.

“Listen, Ryan,” he said calmly, “If you don’t leave her alone, we will call the police and get a restraining order.” Ryan just laughed.

“You think that would keep me away from her, from giving her what she deserves?”

“She doesn’t deserve anything from you, that’s for sure.” Zayn said, pissed.

“Obviously we have different opinions on that. Trust me, that bitch will get what’s coming to her soon enough” Ryan said and hung up. I was officially scared. I sat on the edge of my bed and let the tears that had formed in my eyes spill over quietly. Zayn sat on one side of me on the bed and hugged me; Niall sat on the other side and did the same.
