After lunch with Evan he insists that he walks me back to the office. He was both shocked and appalled by what happened, but he's glad that I'm safe. I begin to wonder; am I really safe? This woman has managed to find out where I work and I still have no idea who she is. I let out a huge sigh.

"Ana, what's wrong?" Evan still seems to be the same caring person he has always been, despite the fact that I have a boyfriend.

"I'm just a little scared I guess." And why shouldn't I be, I'm being stalked by the same woman who destroyed my car and tried to stab me.

"You have no need to be scared, I'm never more then a phone call away if you need me. Besides, I'm sure Mr. Hotshot could hire a dozen bodyguards to protect you." I begin to laugh until I see Evan look over my shoulder. I turn around and notice Christian standing beside Taylor with a very peculiar expression on his face. Might as well bite the bullet and introduce them.

"Christian, I would like you to meet my friend Evan. Evan you already know Christian." Evan extends his hand and Christian just stares at it for a few seconds, eventually he shakes it. "Nice to meet you Evan." Christian speaks in a brisk tone. No one says anything for a little while, eventually the awkwardness gets the best of Evan since he takes off; promising to catch up with me before my birthday. Now I'm left alone with a very upset boyfriend. "Well Anastasia, do you care to explain what you were doing"

He isn't yelling, but I can see the barely contained fury." Evan and I had lunch, is there a problem?"

"Yes. He clearly wants you." I knew Christian was jealous, buy honestly this is just plain crazy.

"Christian it doesn't matter if he wants me, he's a friend of mine; nothing more, nothing less." I thought this would ease his mind enough for him to remove that sour expression off his face, but it didn't.

"So I'm suppose to be okay with my girlfriend hanging out with someone who clearly wants to fuck her."

"It doesn't matter what he wants, I don't look at him that way." I reach out to touch him and he takes a step back. I feel like I've been slapped for absolutely no reason. "Christian, why are you doing this? I went to lunch with a friend, it isn't a big deal." He doesn't say a word. I watch as he changes from the man I have come to know to someone completely different.

" I have to go." He walks off, without so much as a I'll call you later. Meanwhile I'm stuck trying to figure out what exactly just happened. He can't seriously think I'll cut every male out of my life because we're dating. My friends are my friends for a reason, they look out for me, support me and in Evans case, brings me a much needed distraction from the circus that is my life. I'm sure Christian will calm down soon enough and then we'll talk about it.

By the time the clocked struck five, I was damn near running out of the building. Today just seemed to get worse as it progressed. My fellow coworkers have been giving me strange looks, Jack didn't even attempt to hide his jackass personality, I was freaked out by my stalker knowing where I worked and the cherry to top it off was my boyfriend avoiding my calls and texts. I knew Christian was jealous, but this is extremely too much. I've sent him several text asking if he would come over tonight, I got no response. If this is how he reacts when he's upset, I don't know if I want to be with him. I get a horrible feeling in my chest thinking about breaking up with Christian.

My bus comes and I climb aboard more then ready to go home and put this day behind me. The bus takes it sweet ole time and it seems like I'll never get there. I really wish I still had Wanda. After that crazy stalker bitch destroyed her, Christian said it was too unsafe to drive. I don't buy that for a second, he was never a fan of Wanda to begin with. As the bus approaches my stop, I gather my bag and step off. I notice Elliott's car and I'm glad he's here. He always makes me laugh and after the day I had I'll need a good laugh. I take the steps to my apartment slowly since I don't have the energy to go any faster.

When I enter the apartment Kate has her legs over Elliott's lap and he's flicking through channels. I slouch on the chair across from them.

"Hey Ana, I thought you were going to Christians."

"He isn't talking to me." It sounds so childish, maybe I should ask Elliot if Christian always acts this way when he's upset. " Elliot, when your brother gets angry, how long does it usually last?"

He turns to me with a confused look on his face as if my question doesn't make sense." Well, I never seen him angry. Irritated yes, angry no. What did you do to piss him off?"

"Evan and I had lunch." Kate gasp and Elliot shakes his head.

"Ana, please tell me you're not serious."

"Of course I'm serious. Evan and I are friends, I don't see the big deal.

"Ana, if Christian went to lunch with a hot girl, who clearly wanted to have sex with him, wouldn't you be the slightest bit jealous?"

I'm sure I would be more then jealous. Now it makes sense. I can't believe I never thought of it that way. But Christian shouldn't be jealous of anyone, he's gorgeous. I'll just talk to him about it whenever we see each other again. I head to my room to get undressed and notice a package on the kitchen counter. "Kate what's this?"

"I don't know, it has your name on it."I pick it up and shake it; it doesn't seem dangerous. I open it and take out its contents. At first I'm not sure what it is I'm looking at, but all too soon realization dawns on me. It's picture after picture of me. In one picture I'm leaving out for work, in another Kate and I are coming from the grocery store. Some are taken far away then others like the one of Evan and I at lunch today, are freakishly close. Picture after picture my paranoia grows. The last picture is of Christian and I getting out the SUV, it has More written across it. I begin to hyperventilate.

I tried everything to rid myself of this anger and nothings working. I called Claude and went a solid six rounds, but I was still angry. I called Flynn but he was pointless to. He kept asking me why I'm so upset, and that just made me more upset. I'm upset because my girlfriend went out with some pretty boy, who most likely wants in her pants. But whats really making me angry, is the fact that I know he'll be better for her then me. My first reaction when I saw Ana with that guy was to spank her, fuck her, then spank her again. I'm sure none of that would be appealing to her. So not knowing how well I would be able to control these urges, I've been avoiding her all day. I her my phone ringing and assume it's Ana calling yet again, I want to see her I just don't trust myself around her right now. Luckily it's Elliot.

"What is it Elliot?"

I hear a few sniffles, as if whoever is on the other end is crying.

"Christian, it's Ana. I know you're upset but I'm really scared and I don't know what to do. That woman who attacked me is stalking me and I don't know what she wants."

"I'm on my way, don't leave your house, close the blinds and lock your door." I didn't hear much, but I heard that she's scared and that's all I need to know.

"OK" I'm on my feet by the time she ends the call. I scream for Taylor to follow and he's by my side in a matter of seconds. I don't care if Taylor has to be with her everyday, I'll do anything to protect her.
