Stalk Me Alive: The Burial

I gently covered Rosie again. I swaddled her in the old blanket I got, then I placed the flowers I got beside her. Finally I placed her back in the box and closed it.

I then got a small cardboard and wrote her name on it. Then I pasted it on top of the box.

"Are you ready?" Dylan asked walking towards me.

"Yeah."

He carried the box and we went down to the parking lot. We both decided to bury her on the woods near the park.

We drove for a few more minutes and after reaching the woods, Dylan went ahead and dug a small pit. Then I handed him the box to bury Rosie.

Goodbye little Rosie. I'm sorry. You didn't have to go through that but I hope you're happy now wherever you are.

I whispered in the air. A few stray tears escaping from my eyes. Then I helped Dylan cover her small grave.

We then went back to his car.

"How are you feeling?" Dylan turned to ask me.

"I'll be okay. Thanks for doing this babe." I looked at him.

"I know how you really love cats babe. They're like your kids." He told me softly.

I nodded, unable to speak due to the overwhelming emotions I felt.

He ruffled my hair.
"Don't worry. We'll adopt one. You haven't had pets in awhile right?" He smiled at me.

"Yeah. Ever since I left home to work here in Beijing. I still have cats there but it's not like I can bring them with me. I've been really busy then." I said.

"Then we'll also bring them here, since we can both take turns to take care of them now." He suggested.

"I'd love that." I finally smiled.

"Let's go home so you can rest. You had enough worries for today." He started the car and we drove back.

"I'm not leaving you alone in your apartment. So you're staying with me for now. Is that okay babe?" He asked after a while.

"Yeah. Can we drop by my apartment first? I need to grab some things. Then we can go."

I also didn't want to go home yet. The memories of what happened awhile ago will keep on replaying on my mind. I won't be able to sleep, I'm sure of it. To top it all off, my stalker might just be lurking around, silently enjoying my fear and pain.

When we arrived back at my apartment, Dylan looked around the area, before driving to the parking lot. He the turned off the car's engine.

"You don't have to come babe. I'll be really quick." I reassured him.

"I'll come with you. I have a feeling your stalker keeps hanging out near your neighborhood." He said leaving no room for argument.

When we arrived in front of my door, Dylan stopped me from entering first.

"Wait here first. I need to check the place again." He said protectively.

He held my hand as I waited behind him. Entering the passcode, he slowly went inside and looked around. He bent forward and picked up another note. Probably sent in the same way the stalker did before.

"F!ck, he's actually here. I don't know how he keeps on getting pass your security." He said quickly pocketing the recent letter.

He pulled me as we went inside. Finally releasing our breaths once we were sure that the place was clear.
