My Lovely Stalker

Andre?

" What are you doing here? " Fern asked with a puzzled face.

" Can I live with you? " Andre said. Right to the point.

" Woah, woah, hold on, let's go inside and talk about this, " Fern said.

Without realizing, Fern held Andre's hands and they went inside.

Fern put her stuff down and sat on the living room couch, Andre across her.

" Okay, so, tell me everything, from the beginning, in detail, " Fern said, starting the conversation.

" You know how I lost my credit card right? Well after that, I sold all my mansions and villas from all around the world, I only had one place to live, my mansion here, this morning, people with dark suits came and surrounded my mansion, they said if I don't leave immediately they would kill me, they said that the house is not mines and they're not letting me in, " Andre explained.

" Then? " Fern asked.

" Well then, I thought of places I could go, I still had my car, so I dropped off my little sister, Ariella, at my aunt's house, and well here I am, " Andre finished.

" If you still have your car, where is it now? " Fern asked.

" While I was waiting for you the man in black suits came again and toed it, " Andre said.

Fern felt guilty. She was involved in all this. Without her realizing, a tear dropped.

" What happened? You're crying, your nose is red, " Andre said sympathetically.

He got up from the couch across and sat down next to Fern. He put his hands over her shoulders and comforted her.

" What's going on, you can tell me, " Andre said sweetly.

Fern looked at Andre in the eyes and burst out crying.

" Well, actually, I'm part of the people with black suits, " Fern confessed.

" Two months ago, there was a prisoner that ran away, we knew he must have changed his identity, and we suspect that it's you, you get all the money from stealing, " Fern said in between her sobs.

Andre looked shocked and mad.

" You're... You're mad... right" Fern asked, still crying.

" Well I am pissed alright, " Andre said. He lifted his hands off Fern's shoulders and moved aside.

" How can you do this to me?! Is this how much you don't trust me! I have looked at you from the wrong point of view! I'm going, and don't try to find me! " Andre shouted. He took his backpack and stormed out.

I deserve that.

After all the things Andre has done for me, I never appreciated his gift baskets, his attention, he still got me stuff even in his tough times, I'm such a bad friend, Fern thought. She wiped her tears away and ran outside, searching for Andre.

She locked her house door and ran around the neighborhood like a lost girl, screaming Andre.

After 15 minutes of walking around, she found nothing. Andre was nowhere in sight.

Fern sighed and a tear dropped. She ran back home and dashed to her room. She dropped herself in bed and cried her heart out to sleep.

The next day, Fern woke up with the worst look on her face. Her eyes are all blotchy, her nose red, all as a result of crying. She took her towel and took the quickest shower. She put on her clothes and put on a bit of makeup to cover the ugly face she created.

She took her bag and headed on to the cafe without even eating breakfast.

She opened the cafe door and walked inside.

" Woah, Fern, what happened to you? " Nicholas asked. It sounded more like a joke.

" Just had a rough morning, " Fern replied lazily. Part of her is annoyed by Nicholas.

Fern went through that day like a cloud of storm is following her. Not a single smile on her face. Adelaide and Lily tried to cheer her up, but the only person she wants to see is Andre. Fern felt half pissed that Nicholas didn't even try to cheer her up. Nicholas just minded his own business like nothing happened.

After work finished, Fern rode her bike and toured around the neighborhood. She needed to look for Andre. She toured the neighborhood, through every corner and hidden places. Andre was nowhere in sight.

She pedaled back home with a sad face. It's all her fault. Who knows where Andre is now!

Fern never gave up. She looked through all Andre's social media. Eventually, he blocked her. But she didn't give up. She toured the neighborhood, the town even, every single day after work. Even on the weekends.

Fern didn't lose hope. She asked everyone in the neighborhood. She even declined Nicholas's treats for trips together. All so she could find Andre.

A month passed, Fern toured all the places around the town. She found so many hidden places, but she never found Andre.

One day, it was a dark cloudy night, a huge storm was happening outside, Fern was sitting on her couch thinking about what else to do in order to find Andre.

She covered her face with her hands and cried. For like the billionth time this month.

" Andre, please come back, I need you, " Fern said while sobbing.

Suddenly she heard a knock on her door. She wiped her tears and headed to the door to open it. The door opened slowly to the sound of the booming thunder.

A dark figure stood outside. Fern could see the face of that figure. The person she's been wanting to see.
