First Roses had come to Belle. And the next thing she knew more and more Roses were showing up around her. She wasn't sure if the Roses came from Gibson or not. She couldn't make any conclusion about this matter.

Once. It was on top of her desk, the second was under this tree, the third one was inside her locker and whenever she went everyone started to give her a Roses.

Remember she went to the mall with Emma. She get a Roses from the people whom she barely knows. Even at the diner. Everyday. Each time. This O.G person is following her and leaving this trademark or something she is not sure about.

Belle went crazy for all these Roses. If it is true, these flowers came from Gibson. She thinks he's the one who is living cowardly, sending the Roses to her like a coward stalker. He knew already that she hated him before his disappearance.

And why did he do this? This is out of control when things keep happening. What will she do with all these Roses she receives everyday.

"Are these Roses coming from your fans Belle? since when you had followers". asked Belle's mom. "I've never known my daughter is famous these days".

Belle rolled up her eyes, said. "I am not mom (push the Roses away, felt disgust), a crazy person out there who did this".

"Oh my earth! Do you need to call the police?"

"No. Because I didn't know who did this. This is such a waste of time and money for doing this (point at the Roses) but I know it was a man".

"Are you sure it was a man?"

"Okay who else then? I am not lesbian. I'm straight. He calls himself O.G. He knew everything about me and he was watching".

Belle's mom patted chest. She had been drinking wine today for no reason, Belle watching her mom who almost passed out. She spoke. "This man should stay in a mental institute. He bothers me so much and I can't stand it. He did this on purpose because he wanted me to be crazy".

"Obsession. This is what we call obsession Belle and is not good. When you reject who this person was (roll eyes) I don't care, it will become violent and you hate that when it happens".

Belle nodded. Oh she hates that when it happens. Can't wait to meet this maniac who is sending her Roses. Her mind is not balanced now, probably Gibson probably wasn't. What if this person sending those Roses is someone else beside Gibson. Like the real stalker.

Oh God!

"We should make an entrance. Get you thing we are going to the station".

"For what mom? They won't believe what I say because I am a teenager. A teenager caused a lot of problems even though I wasn't that one".

"They will believe you Belle! Because you are my daughter I will make them believe us. You're sixteen still under ages, whatever cause you've been through I am here for you Belle. They are strangers and they should know how a mother would protect her own daughter".

Smile. "And that daughter is Belle. My Belle (someone rings the doorbell) oh the neighbor". Belle's mom runs toward the door as she forgets what she and Belle had conversation about. "Yes? (Belle hears her mom from the dining room) and who you must be. Jake?"

Belle pushes the chair running toward the door. She pushed her mom aside. Jake smiled. "Hi. I ask Emma the way your houses".

"Hi Jake. This is my mom".

"Hello Mrs Decker. I'm Jake Harley. I am Belle's classroom friend".

Belle's mom is eyeing him for a moment then she smiles. She spoke. "Son of the Harley and they never stop talking about your family. Nice to meet you son. I hear a lot about your family".

"So we became famous then. Nah I'm joking. We got used to the gossip for a month since we moved here. I guess you know about the Roses. Belle is strong Mrs Decker I assure you that, there is no fear in her eyes as she received all those things from the stranger. I wasn't here to protect Belle, I'm just worried about her.

Belle's mom nodded understanding. She turns to her daughter then invites Jake inside the house. She spoke. "It's not much Jake".

"I think it's... brilliant!" Belle's mom looks up. Sees Jake's mesmerized face. Slowly... grins. "My mom has those porcelain Mrs Decker (he pointed at the corner of the room) I think she still had it".

Belle's mom grins, said. "Well I bought it from the garage sale before the house burned for good". Jake's face looks horrific after hearing that. They went into the kitchen. "How's new york? is where you lived right?"

"Great. Nothing special, still the biggest city and tallest building (watch Belle's mom pouring a tea) I'm sure you were there before Mrs Decker".

"Pfft.. I don't know. Maybe. I've never met your parent Jake. Of course how busy they are but I didn't try to persuade anything to meet. One day I will met them and have a cup of tea".

Jake reached the cup and sipped it. Belle walks to the fridge. "It's just temporarily here Mrs Decker. Soon our house is done for renovation, we're moving back there".

"Sounds difficult to me. Why not rent the nearest apartment? There are plenty of houses for rental in New york. Why did your family choose to live here?"

"Ergh, Belle already asked me that question in our first meeting. My mom loves the natural environment away from busy cities. She likes green lakes, she loves hiking too".

"Interesting. Katherine, your mom, was a former Miss World back in the 90's. I did buy something personal on her website, perfume I think Enchante De Voir. It smells nice. Well as long as I know you are my daughter's friend I shouldn't worry about her because you were there like Emma did".

Belle slowly turned to her mom, she spoke back. "Can you protect Belle, Jake?"

"I'm not promising that".

"You shouldn't. Because you are too young and don't know what that is supposed to mean. When you reach adulthood you will know (smiling) how about you staying for lunch Jake".

Later. Belle and her mom escort Jake at the door. The weather looked nice today, time flew fast. Belle looked up at the sky. "It's very delicious Mrs Decker. I admit that you are the greatest cook that I have ever tasted before".

"Thank you Jake. Your mom should be in here meet and greet".

"I will tell her that. Thank you". Belle's mom dismissed herself as she let Belle and Jake talk in private. "You have a wonderful mom Belle. Kinda jealous I am to you".

Blushed. "You know before you came my mom almost wanted to report at the station about all these Roses I received and the strangers who were stalking me". exactly that moment Jake learned to kiss her cheek, that made Belle back away from him in shock. "What was that for?" her palm hand at the spot where Jake had kissed her.

He smiled. "I don't know. As soon as I saw you at the playground I really wanted to kiss you Belle. I'm not regret what I did just now. You stunning me Belle the meantime I was afraid that you would push me, and suddenly you and Emma mention about Gibson, everything you get from strangers makes me feel like protecting more than just friends".

"Meaning?"

Jake smiled again, said. "I like you Belle. I know I'm too young to confess but.. I can't stand watching you hurt living in fear because of all this bullshit! I am trying the best I can do to help you no matter how hard you try to fight by yourself, you always have us. I don't care what will happen to me as long as you stand beside me, you are the weirdest girl I've ever seen compared to Emma. Well of course you both are (Belle and Jake chuckle) I love you Belle".

Again. Jake learned to kiss Belle but on her lips. Their kiss was soft until it changed the mood to be rougher than ever. The real kiss Belle ever had was without force but with true love. Not far from the Decker's house, there was a familiar truck or car watching those love birds kissing in front of the house.

It could be worse if this person was really Belle's stalker or the strangers might be watching them right now. Such a vengeance, darkest, and horribly disaster. It turned on the engine, booming as it drove past the house. Jake and Belle stop kissing and turn to see who caused that sound.

"Who the heck is that person?"
