Only You | T. Kei

Paranoia {12}

You  continued to run, not knowing where to go. Were you being over dramatic? Maybe. But who wouldn't be upset? You just saw your step sister that hates you, walking out of your crush's bathroom after a shower. You thought Tsukishima understood your feelings toward Niko but clearly not.

Tears pooled out of your eyes as the rain came crashing down. At this point you were completely soaked since you dropped your umbrella back at Tsukishima's house. You needed to find a place to dry off for a little bit before you got sick. "Holy shit." You huffed as you slowed down your running, you couldn't breathe from running for to long. You decided to just slow down and walk, hoping to find a place to stop.

After walking for a few minutes, the rain began to die down a little but not much. You started to calm down a little bit until you felt a pair of eyes on you. Turning around, you looked left and right but saw none one. "You're just being paranoid (Y/N), calm down." You whisper to your self but picking up your pace a little bit.

Turning back one more time, you saw a man following a couple feet behind you. He had long gray hair and beard, he was wearing dark clothes that covered his entire body. He was staring at you with a slight smirk on his face, this terrified you. Fear began to consume you as your eyes widen and the color left your face. You turned back around to realize you were nearing a gas station. You practically ran into the station and walked to the back of the store.

There wasn't many other people in the store so you broke down tears still in your eyes. You were so overwhelmed by everything that happened you didn't know how to properly react so,  you just cried.

After a few minutes a woman who worked at the station walked up next to you. She lightly tapped on your shoulder and you flinched before looking up at her. "Um miss? Is everything okay?" She asked looking down at you. "Y-yes I'm so s-sorry." You stutter out before standing up. You glance at the door and notice it's starting to get dark out side. "I'm sorry but would you happen to know what time it is?" You ask the woman to which she responds, "it's 6:45, do you need anything?" She asked. "No I'm fine t-thank you so much for everything." You respond before making your way towards the door.

Before walking out you quickly glanced outside to make sure the man the was following you is gone. "It's gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine." You reassured yourself before walking back home. You lived about 45 min away from your current location so you needed to hurry home before it got too dark. At this point the rain had completely stopped but the lamps lining the street were on giving the road a creepy vibe.

Most of the anxiety left your body and you continued to walk home in peace....

....until that feeling of someone following you came back.

Your heart began to beat out of your chest and you stomach was turning. You could hear the latter of footsteps behind you, but you couldn't bring yourself to turn around. You decided to pick up your pace until finally you felt someone heap your wrist, hard.

You wheeled around and were met with the face of the man who was following you earlier. You stared at the man in terror as he just smiled down on you. He grabbed your chin and brought his face down to your ear and whispered, "Hey princess, how about we have some fun. " You weren't going to let this man take over you despite the amount of fear that was building inside of you.

"No thank you." You respond trying to yank your arm from the mans grasp. "It wasn't a question." He responded in a stern voice while pulling out a pocket knife, bringing it up to your stomach. Your eyes widened and tears started forming in your eyes. "This is it, isn't it?" You thought to yourself. You closed your eyes waiting for what was to come for you but it never came instead you heard someone say, "Did you never learn not to hurt a woman?" And then the man was punched and he then ran away.

You turned to look at who helped you to be greeted by the eyes of none other than Tsukishima Kei.
