"Some call it stalking. I say walking, just extremely close behind."
He knows everything about her-her gum flavour, her bus schedule, the exact way her keys jingle when she comes home at 7:43 every night. To him, that's not creepy. That's devotion.
When following her isn't enough, when collecting her trash stops satisfying the ache, he decides it's time to take the next step. After all, she left the window open... that's practically an invitation.
Love can be sweet.
Love can be terrifying.
And sometimes, love can be close behind.

Watching
NOW AT BARNES AND NOBLE ONLINE LOOK UP LEXI SHELTON FOR FINAL VERSION I was watching her, my sleeping beauty. Long blond hair with hazel eyes. She was perfect in every way. She made A's in all her classes and did everything according to the rules. My perfect girl, i did this all the time, I watched her sleep, and from time to time, I like to think about what she looks like on the inside. Her guts. Her blood. She was sleeping, I was standing over her. Her face is blank and her body contoured into a fetal position her pink blanket covered her body. I could cut her up, but I won't tonight. Maybe tomorrow or maybe I'll live in this bliss of love. I think that's what I'll do. I crept out of her window but not before I placed a kiss on her head, her skin was so soft. I plugged her phone in and made sure her alarm was set. Then left, the window closed behind me. "Goodnight my princess." I mouthed.Complete
TRAPPED IN HIS EYES
Nobody ever thinks their life will shatter in an instant-until it does. Not at first. You wake up, you go through the motions, and you trust the people around you. You laugh, you cry, you love. You never stop to wonder if the hands you hold today will be the same ones that destroy you tomorrow. I never did. I never questioned the warmth in his smile, the strength in his presence, the way he stood by my side like a shadow I could always rely on. I thought I had finally found someone who understood me, someone who didn't see me as an outsider. Someone I called a brother. But trust is a dangerous thing. It blinds you. It makes you miss the signs staring right at you. Because the moment I saw the truth- I realized I had been holding the devil's hand all along. #5 Survivor #36 ObsessionComplete

HIS TO TAKE
