My Lovely Stalker

9

Fern never was the same after that day. She became a dark girl. A smile in her face is rare. She still has feelings for Nicholas, but she never expressed it. They went on dates, but Fern never looked like she's enjoying it.

One Monday night, Fern was sitting on her couch, her TV was on, suddenly there was breaking news.

" Attention people of Montreal we have breaking news, just tonight, the authorities have captured the runaway felon, he changed his full identity and who knows! He's our very own Andreas Barret! He got all his riches from stealing! He is currently held in prison for crime, he is estimated to be in prison for at least 3 years, that's it for tonight's breaking news, good night citizens! " The news reporter said.

Fern smiled. For the first time this month. She felt happy. Maybe she shouldn't have trusted Andre, maybe he is the runaway felon.

The news reporter caught a video of Andre when he was sent to prison. He looked miserable. He looked sad.

Fern was heartbroken. She was so selfish all this time! How can she be happy that Andre's in prison. She clenched her fist. Tomorrow she's visiting Andre.

Fern couldn't sleep that night. She tossed and turned in her sleep. She was excited to see Andre, but she was scared too. How would he react? Would he be happy? Or sad? Or mad?

The next morning, Fern woke up and quickly showered. She already scheduled an appointment with Andre in prison.

Fern showered and put on her outfit. A black cropped shirt with black jeans and her boots. She put it all on, grabbed her sling bag, and stuffed a piece of toast into her mouth before going out her door.

The prison isn't very far, well by bike it isn't. Fern got on her bike and pedaled to the direction of prison.

She arrived in front of the tall walls of Montreal prison. She parked her bike and fixed her sling bag. She ready herself and walked inside the huge prison gates.

" Excuse me Miss. What are you doing here? " the prison guard said.

" I've scheduled a meeting with Andreas Barret at 9.00 AM, under the name Fern Allegra, " Fern said.

" Oh, here, you have 10 minutes to talk, I'll direct you to him, " the guard said again.

The guard and Fern walked through the dark halls of prison. None of them said anything. It took about 5 minutes until they arrived in front of Andre's cell.

" I will let you in, you have 10 minutes, " the guard said. He opened the prison door and pushed

Fern in.

Andre looked at Fern blankly.

" Euh, hi? " Fern said.

" What are you doing here? " Andre asked sternly. Almost looks like he doesn't want Fern to be there.

" I wanted to visit you, is it so wrong to visit someone I love? " Fern asked. She blushed and Andre did too.

" Okay, fine, so, what's up? " Andre asked with a smile.

" Don't ask me what's up, what's up with you! " Fern said. She walked to Andre and sat next to him on the prison chair.

" Well, as you know, the people with black suits tracked me, they put me in prison for stealing, I'll be here for about 3 years I suppose, " Andre said with a little frown.

" I'm sorry, " Fern said. She covered her face with her hands and started crying.

" Hey, hey, why are you crying? " Andre said. He held Fern's hands and looked into her eyes.
