"Why did I say that!?" Becky hissed to herself, as she walked into her bedroom.
Becky Baker was frustrated. She was in love with her best friend, but had backed out of dancing with her, and telling how she acually felt.
The Blonde replayed the words, which had left her mouth that night: "I can't dance with you!"
"I should've kept dancing with Imogen..." Becky mumbled, laying down on her bed. "Now she'll think I don't like her as in more than a freind,"
As the girl continued to say things to herself, she began to feel more and more frustrated.
Why was this so hard? She could've told Imogen how she felt, but she didn't!
Oh god... And Jack. Jack was nice... But Jake seemed to like Imogen. Becky took that as a threat. Because what if Imogen liked Jack? Oh lord... That wouldn't be good.
So Becky knew what she needed to do! She had to tell Imogen how she felt. Cause she couldn't bear the thought of losing her... It just too much.
Imogen sighed as she tried to fall asleep. What a night...
She had been dancing with Becky. The girl she loved.
The reason Imogen hadn't said a word to Becky about how she felt, was because she felt like she could barley breathe when she was around her... How could she tell her crush how she felt, if she already had to force the air in and out of herself just to talk to the other girl?
"Oh, Becky. You're beautiful so beautiful. I love you so much... One day I'll tell ya that I love you. I'll make sure of it," Imogen muttered under her breath, before she finally drifted off to sleep.
The sun was just rising as Imogen awoke.
It was Saturday so she could go back to sleep, but nah... Getting up early had become a normal part of her life now, so up she got!
About an hour later Imogen went outside to try and clear her mind. Her thoughts echoed of Becky and it was driving her nuts.
"If there was just someway to tell her how I feel..." Imogen thought, as she padded down the sidewalk not aware of the car slowly following her from behind.
"Maybe if I-" Sadly Imogen could not process the rest of words in her head, when she heard a loud screeching noise, and turned around to see the car that had been following her.
A full grown man, appearing to be his thirtys was staring at her.
The car wasn't even five feet away...
"Oh god no... No," Imogen thought. She knew what this guy wanted to do; she'd seen it so much on TV.
With the instincts of survival kicking in, Imogen took off down the street, running as fast as possible.
The man wasn't gonna give up though...
He was going to make sure he caught up with the teenager.
The Imogen ran down the side of a house, cutting through their backyard, and heading right for Becky's place.
It wasn't far. She could make it.
"He can't find me now..." Imogen thought, as she continued cut through more property, in order to get away from the man.
Soon enougn Imogen reached Becky's house, where she knocked on the front door heavily.
Then the door swung open to reveal a tired looking Becky.
"Imogen? Are you okay?" Becky questioned, as she lost all feelings of tiredness, but felt herself fill up with worry.
"No! Becky let me in!" Imogen cried, pushing the taller girl into the house.
Becky stepped aside, letting her best friend into her home, and then closed the front door.
"Why are you hear so early? Why do you look like you're out of breath?" Becky asked.
"Because... I was out on a walk a-And this guy he was following me in his car... I noticed him coming up behind me, so I ran and he kept on chasing me down the street, so I began to cut down some houses, and since you lived close I just came here..." Imogen explained.
"WAIT A MAN WAS FOLLOWING YOU!?" Becky barked, bringing Imogen into her arms. "He could've abducted you!"
"I know..." Imogen mumbled, as she hugged Becky tightly.
Becky's arms tighten around Imogen's waist. "I-I'm scared, Becks," Imogen managed to choke out,
"I know, I know..." Becky replied softly.
"What's going on here?"
Apon hearing the voice from behind, Imogen jumped out of Becky's embrace with a startled look on her face.
"Dad, Imogen came here because a man was following her in his car, while she was out on a morning walk. "When she noticed him, she ran, and he kept on chasing her," Becky said.
"Oh my... Dear are you alright?" Mr. Baker responded, giving Imogen a concerned look.
"Yes, Sir... I'm fine," Imogen choked out.
But anyone could tell that Imogen was anything but fine. She was shaking, tears were appearing in her eyes...
"Becky, why don't you take Imogen upstairs and have her lie down? I'll make you both some breakfast, and call you laides when it's done," Mr. Baker added.
"Okay. Will do," Becky sqeauked, as she led her friend towards the stair case.
When they reached reached her room, Becky had Imogen lay down in her bed, and got in next to her.
"B-Becky..." Imogen whimpered.
"Shhh... It's alright. You got away from him," Becky whispered gently, as she wrapped her arms around Imogen's waist and held her tightly.
"I feel safe with you, Becky," Imogen said, trying to hold back the tears that wanted to fall.
"Is that why you came over here?" Becky wondered.
"Y-Yes..." Imogen answered, as tears began to roll down her face.
"Oh, Sweetie..." Becky sighed, wiping the tears away from Imogen's cheeks. "I promise you'll always be safe with me,"
Then Imogen's shaking form started to calm down. Her boy relaxed against the the girl who was holding her.
"And don't you worry, we'll find his man and make sure he doesn't ever lay his hands on you," Becky whispered softly.
Imogen nodded in reponse to her friend's words. She couldn't talk, if she tried to she'd cry...
"It's okay, Sweetness just let it out," Becky barked, as she nuzzled her head against Imogen's.
It was then that Imogen knew she could no longer hold the pain in... She began to sob heavily, as Becky tightened her hold on her.
For the next ten minutes Imogen cried none-stop, while Becky whispered comforting words to her.
When Imogen was able to stop crying 's voice called from the stairs. "Becky, breakfast is ready! Get Imogen and come down please, we'll discuss what happened as you two eat,"
"You heard the man, Hugs Alot come on," Becky smirked, as she pulled the other girl up from the bed.
"Yeah, yeah..." Imogen mumbled, getting out of bed.
After that the girls went downstairs, where Mr. and Mrs. Baker, were sitting at the kitchen table.
"Hello, Hun,"Mrs. Baker greeted, smiling at Imogen.
"Hi..." Imogen replied, as she sat down next to Becky at the table.
"So, dear my husband told me about what happened to you, and we've been talking about it... Imogen, we need to call the police. This man could've done really bad things to you," Mrs. Baker said.
"I-I agree," Imogen responded.
"Good! I'll step into the living room and give them a call," Mrs. Baker chirped.
Then Imogen and Becky started to eat their breakfast, as they both hoped that this guy would be caught.
A few minutes later the police arrived at the house.
They informed Imogen that the guy who had been following her, had been reported by others as well. Appreantly this guy tried to get any teenager, that he spotted, but luckily all of them had gotten away just like Imogen.
And so the police told Imogen they'd be on the look out for the man, who had a craving for teen girls, and told her to only go outside if she was with someone, after that they left to go on and do their work.
Mr. Baker drove Imogen home after the police were gone, and of course Becky came along for the ride.
They explained everything that had happened to Natalie when they arrived at Imogen's. The mother embraced her daughter upon hearing the story.
And so as the weeks passed after that horrifying morning, Imogen was not allowed to go outside by herself.
Usually Becky would come over a lot to make she'd be safe.
Of course Imogen didn't mind having Becky over. She loved Becky after all.
But after what had occurred that one Saturday, Imogen decided to wait a bit before she told Becky how she felt.
She was just too emotionally beat up at the moment. And Becky had decided to not tell Imogen how she felt for a while as well.
Imogen needed to get through this first.
However what no one knew was that the man in the white car would be back... And this time Imogen wouldn't get away so easily.
So what do ya think? Like the first chapter?x3 Sorry for the wait, been a bit busy with school and work. xD Anyways Degrassi returns June 3rd! I can't wait! Gonna be awesome! So until the next update... Have a wonderful day and review?owo
