She confided in Jordan.
"Rachel's escalating"
"I'll talk to her".
But Rachel's fixation intensified.
One day Amelia and Kelly came home finding: the door open, their room trashed, Rachel waiting.
Rachel's eyes blazed with fury.
You think you won?
Rachel stop, this isn't love, it's obsession.
Rachel's face contorted.
You humiliated me.
Suddenly she lunges at me pushing me to the ground, but thankfully Kelly was quick to pry her off me.
The police arrived, arresting Rachel.
As she was led away, she screamed. This isn't over, I'll come back for you bitch!
I called the police the moment we entered, Kelly said.
Thanks a lot.
The next day....
I filed a restraining order against Rachel. But I didn't press charges. Now I can finally be at peace with Jordan.
I went to his placed and told him everything that happened last night and later talked him out of pressing charges against Rachel.
Amelia I'm so sorry, I had no idea she was using me to hurt you.
I know Jordan, I'm just glad the truth came out.
Can I make it up to you? You don't owe me anything, Jordan.
We're good. I want to earn back your trust, he said.
What makes you think I want that? I teased. Because I see the way you look at me.
Maybe, maybe? He repeated. Maybe we can start over. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist my charm he joked and I pulled him in for a kiss.
Few months later….
Kelly and I were leaving the cafeteria when suddenly I saw someone I never thought I would see again in my entire life.
Damien.
His eyes locked onto mine as he walked into the campus.
My eyes widened in shock. Damien? I stammered.
He smiled. Hey, Amelia long time no see.
My expression transformed from shock to unease.
What are you doing here? He held up his student ID.
Transferred here, I heard this college had an amazing program.
My unease deepened.
Damien we need to talk, I said and his eyes sparkled.
About us? I shook my head. There is no us, I clarified.
I've moved on.
Damien's face fell. Who is he? My heart skipped a bit.
Jordan, I replied. His eyes narrowed.
The Jordan you've been spending time with? I nodded. I love him I said and his expression turned cold.
I'll leave you alone he said.
I watched him walked away. Relieved.
Jordan waved at me and I walked to him. He noticed my unease and asked me about it.
I hesitated, Damien transferred here. His expression changed.
Your high school boyfriend? I nodded.
And? I sighed. He still has feelings for me.
Jordan's eye narrowed.
I won't let him hurt you, he said pulling me close and I forced a smile.
I can handle myself. His grip tightened. I know, but Im here for you. I appreciate that, thanks love. I hugged him tight
