I walk into McDonalds with Ethan and he orders some food for us as I sit at a table.
What if he gets my family?
What if he tires to get Casey?
Everyone around me is in danger.
"Here" Ethan says passing me some fries
"Thanks" i say
"How about we get out of here?" He asks me
"Where will we go?" I ask him
"I don't know, for a walk" he says and i smile.
We walk through the park eating our McDonald's, dodging the weird stares from teenagers and they sit down drinking alcohol on the grass, having a good time.
We sit down on a bench and I lean back and sigh.
"Are you okay?" He asks me worriedly.
"I just can't believe that he's actually been following me, and I'm shit scared because I don't know what to do" i say breaking down and he hugs me
"I'm putting everyone at risk, everyone I'm with and I don't know what to do" i say and he hugs me tighter
"It's all going to be okay" he says
"How do you know?" I ask him, "everything is such a mess and I'm holding everyone up again, and I don't know how long I can keep this up for"

I walk into my houses alone and take my beret off and I hear voices in the living room, familiar voices.
"Where's Ethan? I thought he said that he was going out tonight" I hear Ella say
Shit.
I sneakily rush upstairs and get changed.
I put some shorts on and a crop top before heading downstairs.
"Hey" Mia says with a smile
"Hi, do you know where my mom is?" I ask her
"Yeah she went out for a walk with Casey" she says
"Shit" I mumble
"Why?" She asks me
"I just... i need to talk to her" I say
"Is this about the guys swarming the house?" Matt asks
"So Eden" jasmine says
"Yeah?" I ask her
"Where have you been? Why did you move?" She asks me
"I just wanted a change of scenery I guess, I missed my dad a lot so I guess it just took a big effect on me" i say, half of that is true. The part about my dad.
All of a sudden someone knocks on the front door.
I look at the door to see an outline of a tall person through the stained glass window part.
It can't be him can it?
"Someone get the door" Mia says
"No" i say loudly
"Why?" Nate asks getting up
"Please" I say and he just pushes past me
"Nate no!" I shout and he stops
"What's going on?" He asks
"If it's who I think it is, run" I say
"What do you mean?" He asks me
"Please, promise me if it's a man with a beard. Run and get out of the house, call my mom and tell them not to come home. If I get hurt don't rush to me, run. Grab my phone and call Captain Sanders and tell him that I've been hurt" I tell him and his eyes widen
"What?"
"Just promise me" i say and he nods
"Good" i say
"Now get in the living room" I say and he nods slowly walking away.
I make my way towards the door and I take a deep breath in and few times and shakily move my hand do the handle.
I pull it open to reveal Ethan, "thank god"
"What?" He asks confused
"I thought you were him" i say and he frowns
"Hey" my mom says walking up behind Ethan with Casey holding her hand
"Hi, mom I need to talk to you" i say
"Okay" she says confused, "where have you been all day? You didn't come home after school"
"I can't tell you cause the living room is full of people" I tell her
She walks into the living, "hey guys, I'm sorry but do you mind going somewhere else? I need to clear up in here"
"Yeah sure" Matt says and they all walk past us
"You coming?" James asks me
"No, I might come after. I have to talk to my mom" I say and he nods before leaving
Ethan shuts the door after them.
"I've been with counter terrorism command" I tell her as she sits down in shock
"What? Why?" She asks confused
"The man who took me hostage has re-entered the country and is following me around. I need to move out for a while, I don't want to put you at risk" I say
"What do you mean he's following you around?" She asks, dead evidnet in her voice
"I've seen him in a few place of where I've been, we looked on security footage of dress shopping and he was in the mall where I saw him" i tell her
"I know, I've not told you very thing but that's why there is close protection is outside and at school. I need to keep you safe" I tell her
"Where are you going to go?" She asks
"I don't know, a hotel. I'm going to pack my things, I can still see you but I don't want to put you at risk by staying here for too long. I'm not going to school either because I've seen him at school and that's too much of a threat to everyone" I say and she nods
"I love you" she say as hugging me
"I love you too" i say
