"I had a nightmare, a horrible nightmare."
"About what?"
"Tonight, in the house. It was really strange."
"Do you mind telling me about it?"
"Well, it all started when he first tied me up, it was all so quick, but instead of seeing darkness, I saw what he was doing: he ran into the kitchen and I saw him take the matches from the counter and light a roll of paper towels on fire. Then, he grabbed his bag of stuff and ran out the door. Then, I saw the kitchen again with burning blood all over the walls and the words ‘I’ll be back soon’ written in blood. That's when I woke up."
"Wow, that's really scary. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, and I’m so sorry I wasn’t there. I'm really sorry, I should have been there." See, Nick was supposed to come over and hang out, but he had to rehearse for a show, so he couldn’t come over.
"Do they know who it was?" I asked, not sure I wanted to know.
“Well, he was someone that used to work for your dad, a Sam Smith or something.”
“Oh no!” I said, starting to shake.
“What’s the matter?”
“Well, he used to have the biggest crush on me; he didn’t care that I was to young for him. He wanted to have me and when I refused to date him, after all I was only fourteen, he went crazy and ended up in a mental hospital.”
“Wow, he is crazy, I mean you were fourteen and he thought he could date you? Personally, I don’t blame him for being obsessed with you. I mean just look at you!”
I smiled. “Thanks Nick, I mean who in a million years, would have ever dreamed that I’d be dating a Backstreet Boy? Plus, one that means everything to me, and that cares about me enough to rescue me from a crazed man?”
“It was nothing, but are you sure your OK?”
“Yeah, I guess so, but a little scared. I still can’t believe he found us.”
“What do you mean?” Nick asked, looking confused
“Well, you know how we moved here from North Carolina?”
“Yeah, that was what, four and a half years ago?”
“Yeah, well, he was from North Carolina; he tracked us down. I can’t believe he was able to find us after all that time!”
“Oh Bethany, I won’t let him hurt you, I swear, do you want to sleep in my room tonight?” I nodded. I was so scared that he’d find me, I’d do anything to stay safe. Plus, I knew Nick would protect me. We had only been dating a little less than a year, but were really close. We walked to his room and fell asleep the second our heads hit the pillows.
