CHAPTER 8: The Aftermath
Nicole just lay in the bed crying for the next hour or so, she didn't move at all. She was afraid that the stalker might come back for her. She slowly moved her head and stretched her neck. When she did, something caught her eye. A picture of her and Jeff.
"Oh God Jeff." She whispered. She knew that if he found her like she was, no pants or underwear, only a sheet over her, he would know something was wrong. She slowly picked herself up, letting out cries of pain as she moved. She grabbed clothes to wear and got in the shower. She showered until she heard a car pull in the driveway. She heard noise from outside. She knew Jeff was home and she had to hurry before he noticed anything.
She quickly threw on black cargo pants, a baby blue t-shirt and black sneakers. She put her hair up in a tight bun and ran to the bedroom, still in pain. She tore the sheets off of the bed and threw new ones on. She fixed the bed up and put the old sheets in the dirty laundry. She walked down the stairs to meet everyone.
She got down the stairs as Amy walked in. "Hey girl!" Amy greeted, hugging her.
"Hey Aimz," Nicole greeted, trying not to cry. Matt walked in, followed by Shannon and Shane.
"Hey shorty." Shane greeted. He went to hug her but she backed away. "What's wrong, Nic?" He asked.
"N..Nothing, I just got out of the shower and I don't want to get all sweaty." She replied with a small laugh. He nodded and walked away. Matt and Shannon did the same.
Nicole turned around and started walking into the kitchen when she felt someone grab her from behind. She jumped at their touch and did the only thing she could...scream.
"Baby, are you okay?" Nicole turned around and saw a shocked Jeff. "I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry."
"Jeff! Oh...you... you scared... me!" Nicole explained, trying to catch her breath.
"Whoah, are you okay?" Jeff asked again, helping her to the couch. "I was just playing around."
"I...I know." Nicole gasped. "I'll.. be ... fine." She gasped again. "I'm just gonna go lie down."
Jeff nodded, looking upset.
Nicole wanted to comfort him, to tell him it wasn't his fault, but she couldn't. She carefully climbed the stairs and went into her and Jeff's room. As soon as she got there, her mind floated back to what had happened earlier. She looked around until something bright yellow caught her eye. It was on the nightstand next to her bed. She picked it up and opened it, her hands shaking.
Nikki,
I know you enjoyed today, right? I know I did. It was amazing. I told you we were meant to be. And know you might as well come to me willingly. Do you honestly that Jeff wants you know? Your a slut, a whore, he doesn't want you. No man does. Except me. Come to me, my dear. I love you.
Nicole dropped the note and started to cry. She didn't want to, but she couldn't control herself. She laid on the bed and then jumped up, remembering all that had happened. She quickly left the room. She looked around the halls for a room to go into and decided on the guest room down the hall from her and Jeff's room. She went in the room and lay on the bed, and cried until she fell asleep.
