"I'm going to kill him; I'm going to kill him Nicole" Diego looked nervous, his hands were in her hair, grabbing and pulling her locks.
It made me nervous to see him in that state, my eyes crystallized.
"Quiet, nothing will happen to me" I spoke to him, stroking his arm to reassure him.
"You know what we have to do?" I looked at him doubtfully.
"What?"
"Go to the police station and insist on this case, I don't want anything to happen to you"
"Nothing will happen to me, I promise" I said then hug him and sink my head into his chest. He hesitated, but ended up hugging me, even stronger than me.
He stroked my hair for several minutes while sighing. As we part, he looks at me fondly and grabs my arm gently, to lead me to the living room.
"Hey no! What are you doing?"
"We have to talk to them about this," he said, referring to the other two boys who were also in the house.
"No, no, please, only you know this, I don't feel prepared to see their reactions"
"Look, Nicole, this is getting serious, he is a stalker, we must talk about this with someone, even with them, or will you wait for me to do something else? The police are not helping us and we are here calm. We can help you if you trust us"
The darkness in his eyes scared me, but he was my friend, I could trust him.
Diego intertwines his fingers with mine, and brings our foreheads together.
"Guys, the soda is out, so Michael and I are going to the market near here." Dani entered the kitchen with the cell phone in her hands, raised her head, being silent for a few seconds, and then continued. "Eh ... sorry to interrupt, but this is not the right place ... Nicole, are you crying?" He interrupted himself, to then run towards me and separate me from Diego. "What did you do to him, you piece of rat?" Dani yelled, releasing me and putting me behind her.
Diego brought his hands to his head, as if it hurt, looking badly at Dani.
"You will not say anything?" Dani asked, hugging him closer.
"Hey, he didn't do anything to me, don't worry"
"Are you sure? You can accompany Michael and me if you want" He spoke releasing me and grabbing me by the shoulders, staring at me.
"Can you shut up for a second? I didn't do anything to him, we were talking, idiot"
Dani looked at him suspiciously and released me, then grabbed his cell phone and headed to the living room.
Diego followed him, and I went to the bathroom to wash my face, the stress was killing me.
When washing my face, a little soap enters my eyes, causing tears, causing me to scrub desperately.
"Eh, what's up Nicole? I heard her screams, but I didn't go because I was changing my clothes, when I go, I find Dani and Diego watching the most normal television in the room, I come to look for you, but you are in the bathroom, are you okay?" Michael speaks to me from the other side of the door.
"Yes, I'm fine, I'm washing my face, wait for me to get ready and I'll go with you to buy what you need, I need to go out." Talk by drying my face with a towel.
"We wait for you outside" I heard his voice diminish, implying that he was no longer behind the door. When I realized that I had not brought my own clothes, I leave the bathroom and go to Dani's room.
Upon entering, I see how it was very tidy, the walls that a few months ago were dirty, now they are painted with a very nice light blue, while the bed was neat against the wall, in front of it was his desk full of folders and an oversized computer, next to the desk was her closet. I decide to go over and open it to get a good shirt that I can use to go out, but without attracting so much attention.
I decide to wear a large black T-shirt, with a print of a cat with glasses and a pyramid next to it.
I take the shirt to the laundry basket in the bathroom since it was dirty and wet, and I head to the living room.
"I'm ready. "In seconds I regretted telling them, they all turned their heads towards me and each one looked at me in a different way. Dani looked at me with a calm and confident smile, unlike Michael, who looked at me with a mischievous smile. And Diego… well, he just looked at me neutral and continued watching television.
Dani and Michael get up and go to the door, I follow them, we leave the house and leave Diego alone.
We walk and move away from the house little by little, kicking every stone that crosses our path.
After a few minutes, we approach the store that Dani said, to which I stop and wait for them, but I am confused when I see that they continue their way, passing the store.
I run up to them and walk beside them.
"Weren't we going to buy?" I ask, Michael looks at me and laughs.
"Who told you we were going to buy?" He asked me, with a funny expression on his face, I looked at him strangely.
"Hey, Dani told me." I spoke and pointed to the named.
He looked at me nervously, putting his hands in his pocket and turning his gaze away from mine.
"Let's say I was not happy to see you so close to Diego" Michael looked at him in alarm, but then he looked at me with a goofy grin.
"Eh, I don't know what to say ... Thank you, I ..." my cell phone interrupted the strange moment, I thank the person who sent me a message and took me out of the uncomfortable moment.
"Hello?" I said, finally answering my cell phone, Dani and Michael murmured behind me, I told them to shut up with my hand, they kept silent.
"Get out of there, get away from them" Someone said, with a soft voice.
"Sorry?"
"I excuse you, now stay away from them, you are in danger..."
"Eh, I don't know who you are, but I'm already getting an idea, you're the madman behind me, right?" Dani and Michael looked at me scared and confused, Dani tried to take the phone from me, but I was able to walk away. "I don't want to know anything about you, I only have that to say"
"I'm not that boy, I'm warning you, but if you're not going to get out of there, take care"
"It stops bothering me and I may come to reconsider the idea of not reporting you for the fifth time, you don't know me, I don't know you either, Good evening"
"If you hang up on me, someone will pay for it" I managed to listen, but ignored him and hung up.
Oh no, what did I do?
What if they do something to my friends?
I directed my sight to my friends who were watching me.
I let out a sigh and look up at the sky.
The stars were already beginning to become visible.
"I think we should go" I say and turn around, from the same place we came from, my friends accompanied me in silence, internally I thanked them, I didn't really want to talk.
Upon arrival, Diego was asleep on the living room sofa, Michael ran and jumped on him, waking him up.
I let out a sigh and sat on the couch, barely a minute passed, I decide to speak.
"Sit down, I'll tell you what happened, and what we should do" Michael and Dani sat next to Diego.
All with their looks on me
Ok, this will be difficult.
"Well, Diego, I put you in a situation, today we went with Dani and Michael to buy "Look at the boys, who were looking at me with a smile for lying to Diego, since we did not go shopping. "Everything was going well until they called me, they told me that I was in danger if I did not leave that place, and well, here we are..."
"I think we should notify the police, again..." Michael said, bringing his arms behind his head.
"It won't do any good" Diego spoke, taking a sip of his drink.
"What do you mean? They can trace the number Nicole was called from" Dani gave Diego the opposite.
"Fuck Dani, we are not in a movie, or do you think they will do that?"
"Good point" I talked.
Diego looked at us all, got up and went to Dani's room. When he leaves, he returns to us with a sheet and a pencil, placing everything on the table in the living room.
"Let's recap, it all started with a person sending a message to Nicole on the day of the exam, that same night, they cut off Nicole's back" He wrote everything down and looked at me. "Speaking of which, do you remember anything?"
I searched my memory and began to speak.
"I think he had a black mask, his hair is curly, and his eyes are dark. I remember that he spoke to me, but I don't remember exactly what he said to me, because I fainted"
Diego wrote down everything that happened to me and continued.
"We'll take this to the police, and if they don't do something about this, we'll paint the entire police station, let's make a fuss, whatever it takes to make them listen to us"
We all looked at each other, not knowing what to comment on.
"Will we have the same routine?" I ask, Diego keeps thinking and answers me in seconds.
"For now, we'll leave it that way"
We all accept and continue with our night, watching movies and eating everything.
