Stalker (SLOW UPDATES)

C H A P T E R T W E N T Y - O N E

Sarah's POV.

Her lifeless eyes stared into nothingness. The blood still dripping down her throat. It looks as if she was forced.

I'm going to kill this bastard.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk." He's not far away, he's standing right beside me, enjoying to look at my dead mother's body.

"Mother dearest is sadly.....dead." He says in a mocking tone.

"Now, come on. Back to bed." He can see the tears flowing down. He can see the pain. He can see everything. And he loves it. He loves watching me suffer.

I don't move. I will not let him control me.

"Kill me." I croaked out.

"What?"

"I said kill me!" I exclaimed. His eyes widened. Didn't this bastard want to kill me before?

"What? Why are you looking at me? You killed my mom. You killed my mother, she was my family. You killed her. I know you want to kill me. Then kill me! I know you have a knife in your pocket right now! Use it! Kill me! Kill me, Nicholas." I know what I'm gonna do. This plan is going to work.

His eyes widened. He takes a few steps back. Oh you thought you could walk away, not today.

I stood up, still looking at him. His mind is confused. All the people he has killed before probably haven't ever told him to kill them. He is the one who kills the victim, but the victim doesn't ask him to kill them.

Of course no victim wants to be killed, right?

"Come on. Kill me you freaking bastard!" I screamed once again. The terrified look on his face made me wanna laugh at him. But right now I was far from even smiling.

"That's my girl."

His voice. Oh my god. His voice sounds so familiar to my ears. My eyes welled up with tears as I looked back to find him. He's here. He's finally here.

I turn around to find him.

Alex.

His eyes fall on me, tears start flowing down. I missed him so much.

He approaches me as quick as possible, as if there was no other person in the room, his lips crash on mine. He captures me with a loving kiss. My hands travel to his neck and I hug him tight. My head buried in his neck. He picks me up bridal style and starts walking out of the room.

"H-Hey! You can't l-" Alex cuts him off.

"Next time think twice before you kidnap, my girl." He snaps his finger and police officers crowd the place. Two officers arrest him. The rest investigate the place. I'm sure they'll find mom.

I start crying on Alex's neck.

"Hey, hey why are you crying love? I'm here for you." He said.

"Alex, my mom. He-" Alex shushed me before I could say anything else.

"I know, baby girl. I know. I'm sorry." He said pulling me closer.

"I'll be here for you. I'll always be there for you. I promise." That's the last thing I hear before my vision blurred and I fell into pitch black darkness.

"I brought you food." Elena, Alex's mom says as she enters the room with a tray in her hand. My nightmares haven't stopped. They keep coming every night. Those nightmares consist of my mom, her lifeless body sitting on that chair, then a scream. A screeching scream coming from somewhere. And then someone stabs me. I don't know who stabs me. It's black, like a shadow that blends in the darkness.

This nightmare comes every night. I've lost my mind. I can't think straight. The doctors say that this is because of the traumatic experience I had. But my mind says something else. My ability to smile and laugh and be happy is gone. I feel numb from the inside. I wish she would be here. She would always know what to do. How to comfort me and make me laugh. She was always there.

Why did she have to go? Why? Why did she have to leave me? I loved her so much.

I miss you so much, mom.

"Thank you." I answer. She places the tray on the bed side table as she sits down beside me.

"Sarah. I know it's hard for you. But I'm a mother, too. You can tell me. If anything is bothering you. I'd love to help you. I'm like your mother. And I can't see you like this. It's been three weeks and you haven't left this room. We all are worried about you especially, Alex. He loves you. He cannot see you like this. He's been upset all this time. Since you aren't talking to anyone." I know he loves me, I love him too. But right now, I'm just not able to do anything. I need more time. I need to cope up. But I can't.

I just nod at her. She sighs slowly, getting up and walking out of my room.

I exhale sharply, resting my head against the headboard of the bed. How? How am I supposed to be happy? I don't know. My body and mind, both are betraying me right now. I cannot think right. What am I supposed to do?

A knock on the door brings me back to reality. Alex opens the door and enters. He's wearing normal clothes. A black T-shirt and blue tracks. He smiles when he sees me.

Approaching me, he sits beside me. We both stare at each other for a while. Not knowing what to say.

He opens his mouth to say something but closes it again.

Tears well up in my eyes, I pulled him closer to me and hugged him. He seemed startled for a minute but then hugged me back. My head rested on his chest, his warmth wrapped around my body feels nice.

"Do you wanna go out?" He asked after a few minutes.

I look up at him. His eyes are bright and clear. He seems happy. I hesitate for a while. But I know what I want.

"O-okay."
