WARNING! Romance, f!GH+ing, and B/00d! Chapter Two: Missed me? On my way home the rain starts to come down harder, like ice. I pull my hood over my head. Soon I see my house, it’s a small family house painted blue with gray windows. The light in Katy’s room shines a warm purple and I smile, she got home safe and sound. I unlock the door and quietly creep in, ever since I dumped Levi things have been…different. People stare at me and give me eyes as sharp as daggers. I lock the door and notice that Mum’s shoes aren’t there, figures. She has been working hard lately. My parents are divorced. I have an older brother and a younger sister and brother. My older brother, Leo, just started College. My sister, Katy, is in 6th grade now. And my younger brother, Jayden, went with my dad. I haven’t seen any of my brothers in years, Katy and Mum (also Levi) were all I had. “Chlo?” I hear Katy, I turn and throw my coat and hug her. “Hi Katherine..” I don’t let her go till she pats my back, giving me the sign to stop. So I do. “What’s for dinner?” I smile and take off my shoes. I march over to the kitchen and open the fridge. “Leftover…pasta?” I ask her, she nods eagerly. I turn on the stove and heat up the pasta. We enjoy the leftovers and get ready for bed. Soon Katy is asleep and I lie awake in bed, alone, cold, in the dark, with unknown things outside. You may think I am acting childish, but if you knew Levi you would be scared too. I am finally able to go to sleep. The next morning I awake to my phone’s alarm for work. I force myself to get up and put on a striped shirt and jeans. I go down stairs into the kitchen to find Katy sitting there reading her book. ¨Morning sunshine, what are you reading?¨ I ask while getting some bread out and popping it into the toaster. ¨I'm still reading “The Hungrey Games”.¨ she says not looking up from her page. ¨Still,¨ I ask. ¨Yes I want to saver the book while I can.¨ she says with a smile on her face. DING! The toast pops up. I grab it and start putting on my shoes while stuffing small bits of toast into my mouth. I grab my bag and coat. “Bye Katy!” I say in between bites of toast into my mouth and walk out. Outside it’s still drizzling rain and cold. I can see the cyan diner from my porch on my way to work. I use the back entrance for employees and wave to Rebecca who waves way more energetically then I do. I put on my apron and get to work. It was a busy morning and afternoon. Taking orders, delivering food, having the glares. Rebecca was right, men there are creepy, but I survive. Soon it’s our lunch break, I am able to eat some leftover meatloaf Edwards made for lunch. I open my bag to pull out my phone, sure yes I find it but also a note. It’s on line paper with the writing “For Chloe”. My hands shake, this handwriting. It’s too familiar. I turn the paper and untap the top of the paper. Scribbled in red crayon is the writing. “Dear Chloe, how are you doing? I see you found a job at the diner, good for you! I miss you, you know? A lot! By the way, I found Agnes. Not that hard. After all, she was trying to k!// me again. I can't wait for our next encounter. I have a feeling it will go better than last time. Love ;), Levi” I have to use all willpower not to collapse right there. He knows where I am. Agnes is ALIVE! I thought she was gone like Mike, her brother. I can't help but feel a mix of feelings, Most of which is scared.
CHAPTER CONTINUED: I moved so I would never have to deal with Levi again! And yet here I am, I think grimly. I can't go out the back, but I'm not allowed to get out the front! I am desperately trying to find a new solution. When my shift is over I make sure the back is clear of people. I look out the small window trying to spot Levi. Clear. I open it and throw my backpack out. This window is barely bigger than my head. I put my head through and squish myself as small as possible. For a brief horrifying second I think I'm stuck. I wiggale myself a little more. One second I'm staring two feet above the ground then it's coming closer! I barely get time to try to catch myself with my arms. OWWWW I think as I land on my face. ¨Wow all that just to get away from work, you must really hate it there.” I know that voice. It's the same voice that belongs to the one person who's been hunting me since I moved, since it all happened. ¨You and I both know that wasn't what I was trying to get away from.”I say Sounding far more confident than I look. Though I could say the same thing about him. His dark brown eyes have circles under them. And his few freckles look odd compared to the pale skin they sit atop of. And the messy brown hair he's tried to hide. He is wearing his usual black and red outfit. Even with him being pale and tired he is not out of shape which means he's been training. He gives me a small grin.¨Oh stop with the games¨ he says. ¨Come back with me, you don't belong here. I even saved space for Katy.¨ His eyes plead with mine. But I don't care. I haven't since the moment he hurt Mike, since I was forced to run away leaving Agnes. ¨Leave Katy out of this.” I spit while quietly begging too. The grin on his face is wiped clean, replaced, destroyed, leaving an enraged expression that sends waves of fear through me. ¨Fine go, but don't forget when the time comes for you to come back no matter what. Remember it could have been so less bloody.¨ Any and all bravery that could have been on my face is whipped away. I'm shocked and find myself glued to the ground in terror. “Till next time.” He whispers into my ear before giving me a light K!$$ on the cheek. He gives me one last glance then turns the corner out of sight.
