CHAPTER 6 : Face to Face
"Oh my god, Nic!" Shane yelled, running to her. He picked her up and placed
her back on the bed. She lightly tapped her on the face, trying to wake her
up. "Nic?"
She slightly stirred. "Shane?"
"Yeah."
Nicole jumped. She backed away, holding her face. "What do you want?" She
asked fearfully.
"Nic, I'm not gonna hurt you. It wasn't me. I swear. There was a masked
man. I saw him hit you and I ran in."
"Shane I believe you." Nicole answered. "I'm sorry I didn't in the first
place."
Shane shook his head. "Don't be sorry. I would've suspected me too."
They hugged. "Okay, so who was it?" Nicole asked.
"I don't know. He was tall, I couldn't see his face. I wish I could've
knocked him out though."
"Thanks Shane. I appreciate it. I'm gonna go to sleep now. But thank you,
so much. I'm sorry I doubted you."
"It's cool, shorty." Shane answered, hugging Nicole. He left her room, and
she laid in bed, she was about to turn off the light when she noticed it
again, the note. She hadn't read it yet. Afraid, she slowly picked it up.
She opened it and read it.
Nikki,
It's me again. So, you really thought it was Shane? You can't even trust
your own friends? What kind of friend are you to not even trust Shane?
Who's next, Jeff? Don't worry my dear, soon enough you'll know who I am.
And it won't matter that you don't trust Shane or your other friends,
because I'll be there for you. You won't need them and they won't need you.
Besides, I'm not gonna let then interfere with me getting what I want.
They're days are numbered. And so are yours. You'll be mine soon.
*I love you* - Me
Nicole shuddered. How did he know that she had suspected Shane. The note
was already in the room when her and Shane had argued. 'He knew it was
gonna happen.' Nicole thought to herself. She quickly checked the room to
make sure it was empty and then she climbed into bed. She closed her eyes
and went to sleep, hoping it was all a dream.
*~*~*~*~* The next morning, Nicole woke up to the smell of bacon and waffles. She went downstairs to see her friends, eating breakfast. Jeff noticed her walk in and motioned for her to come over to him. "Hey babygirl." He greeted, kissing her on the cheek. He pulled her onto his lap and offered her some of his food. "No thanks, not hungry." She replied. "Take a bite." Jeff ordered. Nicole obeyed and ate some of his food. They all ate and talked for awhile. Nicole had decided not to mention anything about her and Shane's argument or then new note she had gotten. She didn't want to start a huge fight. And now she knew, it wasn't Shane that had been stalking her. She just needed to figure out who. "Nic, we're going shopping today, wanna go?" Matt asked. "No, that's okay I don't feel well." Nicole explained. "Oh, do you want me to stay with you?" Jeff offered. Nicole knew he didn't want to miss a chance to shop, but he would stay with her if she asked. "No Jeffy, it's okay. I just want to rest." "Will you be okay?" She nodded. They all got dresses and left for the mall. When they were gone, Nicole got in the shower. She was washing her hair when she heard a noise. She quickly rinsed her hair and threw a robe on. She turned off the water and walked into the hallway. "Hello?" She called. No answer. "Hello?" She asked again. She walked down the stairs and looked in the living room. No one there. She looked around and didn't see anyone, so she turned around to go back to her shower. When she turned, she walked into....... him.
