Chapter 23:

Friday:

I didn't see anyone else at the club last night. I sighed, I was petrified. Someone was following me, and I needed to know who. I needed to know who was my stalker. I sent my stalker another email: I need you, meet me at the Red Diner at 7.

The Red Diner was never busy, it had one girl working there with barely any customers, at night especially Friday night, there was only ever one customer there from what I heard.

My head was buzzing, it was noon, there were hours ago, I was surprised when the reply came instantly and it was a yes. I smiled, tonight I was going to meet my stalker. Tonight everything would end. My mind wondered to last night.

I was so drunk, today I have got the mother of all hangovers, why did I kiss Johnny? I sighed, I was out of it but does a kiss count as cheating? It was a game, it was just a game, everyone was making out with someone, I didn't cheat. I didn't. That's not me.

Chris. How many times do I have to hurt him but it was just a kiss not like Shane. Nothing like Shane. I don't deserve Chris, I don't. I love him though. Who would have thought that after Kyle I would find love again? Chris gave me a reason to live, a reason to keep going, a reason to breathe. He is my world, my rock, he's there when I need him. He stood by me, he helped me time and time again asking for nothing and I fell in love with him. I love him with everything I have so why do I hurt him? Do I have a psychological problem?

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I sighed, I opened the door.

"Miss me?" Chris smirked as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me.

"Chris," I whispered in between the kisses. He closed the door behind us when we entered the room.

"You okay?" he asked as he held me.

"Hangover," I admitted.

"Went partying without me?" Chris asked.

"Sorry," I replied.

Chris smiled, "I was joking Allie."

"Oh," I kissed him softly, the way he made me feel was unbelievable, made me feel weak at the knees.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too," I grinned. "I missed you."

"Me too," he said leading to the bedroom.

We emerged two hours later. What did I do when I didn't have Chris in my life?

He came out of the shower after a while, I was dressed and smiling at him.

"So what happened with the planes?" I asked him. "Why the delay?"

"No idea to be honest, they were talking about a technical problem," Chris answered. "I'm hungry."

"Aren't you always?" I laughed.

We went to an Italian restaurant at lunch.

"So you missed me huh?" Chris smirked.

"You missed me more," I laughed.

"I did," Chris was being serious. "My life without you is incomplete, I know it was only one night but it felt so…weird…Alicia I want you in my life everyday and every moment of my life. I love you, body and soul, I know I don't have a ring or anything, but Alicia would you do the honour of becoming my wife?"

I sat there frozen to the spot, in a moment my world was perfect, "Oh wow, oh God, of course I will Chris."

I didn't care who was looking, I really wasn't bothered, I leaned over the table and kissed him lightly.

Chris smiled, he took off his ring off his little finger, he put it on my wedding finger, "I'll get you a real one, this is only temporary."

I looked at the Ring, his initials were engraved on it. I smiled at the Platinum ring I was wearing, I was engaged.

"Chris you don't know what this means to me," I whispered to him.

"I know this is a huge step for you, after everything you have been through, for a second I thought you were going to run out of the door!"

I smiled, "I would never do that to you. Chris you've made me a very very very happy girl."

"I'm glad," Chris held my hand.

"Oh my God we're engaged!" I laughed.

"Yea we are," He grinned. "So when do you want the wedding?"

I smiled, this was going fast, "Um I have always wanted a summer wedding."

"Summer it is," Chris smiled. "Church or …"

"Slow down baby, we just got engaged!" I giggled.

"Sorry I just can't wait to get married to you, to call you Mrs. Alicia Chris Jericho."

I smiled at him, "What did I do to have you?"

"I don't know, you must have been really good in a previous life," Chris joked.

"Vain!" I grinned.

"So how about tonight we go out somewhere else and celebrate in style?"

"You mean get wasted?" I laughed.

"I was trying to put it in a more…classy way," Chris laughed.

"Well maybe tomorrow from morning till night, tonight I promised Nikki and Andrea that I'd go for dinner with them, I think Lillian might join us," I lied. Oh shit I shouldn't use a lot of people in a lie.

"Ok," Chris smiled.

"But we don't tell noone of this until we through an official engagement party," I warned Chris.

"Fine fine," Chris sighed.

"So was it spontaneous?"

"The popping of the question, yea I just saw you but I knew from day one that one day I'd ask you to be my wife."

"Chris I can't wait," I admitted. "I've got butterflies in my stomach now!"

We finished lunched, we spent the rest of the day together, just talking and laughing. Then it was nearly seven. I kissed him goodbye before I headed off to the Red Diner.

I sat there. I was so keen, waiting

A friend. I like you, I hate him. I'm not your enemy

I will make him pay for you. He will not walk away.

photo, of the guy in the first one, Shane and a lot of fire, it looks like a bomb

X X X X X X

I opened it, there were loads of different photos. Me and Chris getting in the limo, kissing, entering the restaurant, holding hands on while we walked out, getting back to the hotel and on all of the pictures Chris's face was crossed off with a red marker. I read the back of the last photo: EITHER YOU TAKE HIM OUT OF THE PICTURE OR I WILL.

Hello," I answered.

There was no answer.

"Hello," I repeated.

"Alicia," his voice scared me, he must have covered the receiver and disguised his voice, I couldn't recognise it.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"A friend," he replied.

"You killed Shane! That's not a friend!" I argued. I lowered my voice. "Why?"

"I didn't," he replied.

What? No, what a liar! "And Chris…don't hurt him."

"You don't know him." His voice seemed sure.

"YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!" I shouted. "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

He hung up.

X X X X X X X

"Hello," I said softly. Maybe I could get him to talk.

"Calmed down?" He asked.

"Yea," I replied. "How are you getting into my room?"

He remained silent.

"Fine," I replied.

"I'm glad your not with Chris, your better off without him."

"Why?" I asked.

"It's better you don't know. Your better off without Shane as well."

"Yea realised that," I replied. "Stop following me."

"Someone needs to protect you."

"I can look after myself."

"No you can't. Not when you don't know what you're up against."

"Just leave me alone, I can look after myself!" I shouted.

"Try one week without me," he said, "Then you'll beg for me to be back."

- X- End of Flashbacks – X –

The emails, the roses, the other flowers, the photos it was all going to end. There was no one in the diner and then the door opened. The stalker walked in. I couldn't believe it, was he my stalker.

I waited, and then he sat opposite me.

"You said 7 right?" He asked.

Oh my God this was my stalker. My stalker was…
