I totally locked the incident which happened at the office and the stalking. My brain didn’t want to relieve any of it that’s why it totally erased it until now. My brain suppressed every single piece of the time from which I have been stalked and attacked. Now seeing the contents of the envelope unlocks everything which is Locked deep inside my head.
There are Pictures of me From the moment I stepped out of the hospital discharged to the moment I reached my home from the lake house. In the mall with my mom, saying goodbye to my friends, fishing at the lake house, every single moment of my time is captured.
I thought that if I forget everything and act like nothing happened then everything is fine and I don’t have to face a stalker anymore but I am so wrong about that.
I don’t know how to approach someone with this issue. What if no one believes me? What if they think that i’m crazy? Everyone thinks that I have hit my head pretty hard that’s why Iam saying about being attacked and about the stalker.
Trust is the hardest thing to gain and I have too many trust issues with people and myself. I was brought back by my phone buzzing at my table. My heart started beating fast thinking maybe omer may have tested. Ugh! I’m not going to stop getting my hopes up. For a second I forgot about the whole incident and started to think about omer, how he is Mia since the breakfast we had together at the hospital.
I ran to the table and leaped on it to get my phone. I unlocked it and to my surprise there is a text but it is from an unknown number? I opened it and for the second time my world collapsed and my mind went blank. There lay the words mocking me and making me tremble furiously.
Unknown number: “IF YOU WANT TO STOP EVERYTHING THEN YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU HAD SPENT MOST OF YOUR CHILDHOOD AT”.
Iam speechless and I don’t know what the text is implying but one thing I am sure about is that this stalker knows every single thing about me. What does it mean where I spent most of my childhood? I have spent my childhood at various places like my grandparents house, lake house, suddenly I’m hit by the place where the stalker may be implying.
A park near my school, it is the second safest place for me other than my room. I always spent my free time at the park. The trees and the atmosphere of the parts really attracts me towards it.
I don’t know why the stalker wants me to come to the park and how she knows about it?.
All these thoughts are making my head throb, usually I take one pain killer for my headache but now I have to take two in order to sleep without anything disturbing me and haunt me in myself.
I slipped under my covers focusing on my heartbeat to lose the thoughts about everything. I hope everything won’t come to haunt me in my sleep too.
I woke up feeling sun rays on my face and the cool breeze of the morning and bird’s chirping. I always like my room because of these things, they made me feel relaxed and free. For a moment I forgot everything and just focused on the things around me. Sunrays, earthly smell, cool breeze, birds chirping these are my treasures and happy things. I want to freeze this moment forever and be in it. But some wishes are hard to be granted.
I decided that I am going to face that stalker and sought everything out. I don’t want to be a coward and scaredy cat anymore. If I want my life to be pleasant and happy then I have to face my demons and fight them till I win. With my new found courage and determination I stood up from my bed and went to the bathroom to start the day fresh.
I came downstairs for the breakfast and as usual my whole family is sitting there chatting away happily unknown to the fact that i’m going to do something stupid and may get in danger again. Seeing them happy and relaxed stops me to tell them anything.
Masking every worry and fear from my face I started walking towards the kitchen. Nathan notices me first.
“Good morning sleepy head”
” Good morning Nate and everyone in here knows who is the biggest sleepy head among us” I teased him, ruffling his hair knowing he hates it.
“Ughh stop messing my hair scarlett” Nathan groaned annoyed.
” it suits you better than your usual hairstyle Nathan and that is boring” Julia teased him sticking her tongue out.
” I have way better fashion sense than you Julie,” Nathan said rolling his eyes.
” whatever” Julia said going back to her breakfast.
It’s so amusing to see them banter like kids which they are not anymore. They reminds me of zayreen Elijah.
” Good morning mom and dad” I greeted them while taking my place at the dining table.
“Good morning princess,” Dad replied, busy reading his newspaper.
“Good morning sweety” mom greeted me, handing me a plate of toast and scrambled eggs.
” Thanks mom, you are the best,” I said happily, taking my plate.
“my pleasure sweetie, and this is your coffee” mom said handing me my cup.
I started gulping down everything on my plate pretty fast, I skipped dinner last night due to an unpleasant event. In five minutes I have emptied my plate and I slowly sipped my coffee savouring it’s taste.
” What is today’s plan Scarlett? You got any plans?” Dad asked setting his newspaper aside and eating his breakfast waiting for my reply.
” I think, I guess?” I replied not meeting his eyes.
“Hmm, okay then be careful and enjoy your day” Dad said smiling.
I hope I have made the right decision to confront my stalker and attacker. I can’t just always run away from it, I have to face it and fight it.
It’s time to be strong and brave…
