Chereads / My Complete Heart / Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

After dessert, we took a walk around the place, while holding hands. James was the best boyfriend I could've ever asked for, it makes me wonder if I'll ever fall out of love with him. "You're the best, you know that?" "I know." We just laughed and walked around a little more, we then headed home after 20 more minutes of walking around. 

 

I kissed James goodbye as I headed inside the house, my mum was home and I saw another car in the car park, turns out today we were supposed to have dinner together with my mum's new boyfriend. "Celina, your home! Freshen up and come back downstairs." I went upstairs and changed, I then headed downstairs sitting on the opposite side of the table facing mum's boyfriend, it started off awkward but then he spoke. "Hi Celina, my name is Mark, it's really nice to meet you again." "Hi, sorry we didn't get off a great start last time." "It's okay." 

 Mark wasn't so bad after all, he seemed like a cool guy, he also had the same interest as me, we both liked biking. After we sent Mark home, I went upstairs and watched some YouTube videos on the laptop on the bed. I then got a sudden phone call, from an unknown number, the first call I just ignored but got annoyed as it kept calling one after another. I decided to answer it after the 5th time, at first all I heard was shuffling from the other side, "Hello?" I said and then got a response. "Hi Celina." The voice gave chills down my spine, it was deep and cold like. "How are you doing?" "Who are you?" "You already forgot me? After what you did?" "I'll make sure you remember everything you did, you can't hide from me, I'll find you!" I got kind of scared and hung up, after that he kept calling over and over again. I just put my phone on silent and tried to forget what just happened and went to bed.

When James and I got to school I noticed something on my desk, I went closer and it was written with what seemed like blood, it said "REMEMBER DASH?!" My whole body then became cold, who was this guy..? James saw the writing as well since it was nearly covering my desk. "Do you know who could've done this?" I tried thinking but nothing came to my head, I shook my head. "What if he comes after me?" "He?" "Actually last night I got a phone, it was an unknown number and that person had a deep manly voice." "It's okay, nothing will happen to you." "How can you be so sure.." "Because I won't let anything happen to you." By then Leon appeared "What happened?" I didn't even look up, I just stared at the writing. Stella filled Leon in and he looked at me. "I'm sure it's nothing serious, someone is probably just messing with you to scare you." He said reassuringly. "But who would…" 

Throughout class the words kept repeating in my head. 'Remember Dash?Remember Dash?' Who was Dash… I don't know anybody that goes by that name. At lunch I tried hard not to bring it up. James could tell I was paranoid because I kept looking around and checking behind us. "Don't worry too much." "How could I not.." "What if they got the wrong person?" "But during last night's call, he even said my name 'Celina'." Someone then tapped me on the back and I panicked. "It's just me, Stella." Terry then nudged Stella's arm, which meant for her to not do that. "I heard about what happened, are you okay?" Terry asked me. "Kind of?" "Just a little paranoid." 

We had after school study today, so we stayed at school until around 6PM. James had to leave a little earlier because he had piano lessons, he was working on a very important song, he was going to perform it for the end of year party at school.

 Stella went another way home, so I was alone, even though I was alone, I felt some presence around me somewhere. It was an odd feeling I had, I soon knew my feeling was right, when I heard a crack behind me, it sounded close by, as if someone stepped on a stick and it snapped in half, which told me it was probably a person. I was too scared to even turn around, I just sped up my pace, I could hear and feel the person also sped up their pace. I started running and they started to run too. I wasn't a fast runner, so I made a dumb decision to stop running and turn back to confront them. There were a couple people around anyways, nothing could badly happen right? That's exactly what I did, no one… no one was behind me. Just as I turned around, "Boo!" Terry scared the living shit out of me. "TERRY, you know I'm already paranoid. Why would you scare me like that?" "Sorry, I just wanted to have a little fun." "What are you doing here anyways?" 

"Oh I heard there was a 24hr Cafe around here somewhere, I wanted to check it out." "Oh I never heard of it." "Yeah, it's not that popular, it's just a small cafe." "Okay, I'll get going now, see you tomorrow!" Terry went along his way to the cafe and I turned to the little alleyway to my home. As soon as I got home, I went on my phone, I promised I'd text James when I got home, so he knows I'm safe. I turned my phone on and saw a text from an unknown person. I didn't get any notifications, since I forgot to turn it back on from last night. Before I checked the unknown text, I texted James first and he replied with an 'Okay', since he couldn't text right now because of his piano lesson. I then opened up the other text, my eyes widened, I just sat there on my chair in silence, staring at the image sent from the person. It was a picture of me, walking home…

'WHO ARE YOU??' I replied to the person, 'You still have no clue huh? After I gave you a clue this morning' 'Well of course I have no clue, why else would I be asking you..' He sends another picture, but this time it was of me sitting at a desk, right now. I looked outside but there was nobody, I quickly shut my blinds and took a closer look at the picture. The picture was taken behind the tree just outside our house, now this was actually getting more serious. Now I have a stalker after me, not sure what they want. Maybe they're just a big fan of mine, even though I don't do anything special. I need to stop being delulu right now, and take this seriously.
