L U C A

4:59 PM

: You're such an asshole. I saw what you did to that boy.

My eyes bulged out from their sockets and I have to react quietly to hide my inner self, being less patience, or what they are saying - so called-short-tempered - which was right. "Is there anything wrong, buddy?" My manager asked abruptly and I was taken aback for a moment.

"Sorry, my mom texted," I lied.

"Do you want to ditch this session?" He asked gently, not letting every form of bitterness leaks out of his tone. Well, he's utterly good and kind manager. He treat us all completely balanced and maybe... He's just a little bit. Nasty.

"Don't worry, sir, there's no reason I would ditch this amazing job," I assured him, as I receive a warm smile over his lips. He pat my shoulders and vanish through shadows to talk to the others. I guess it's been a long time since we talked because he's all distant from me by just listening to him. Never mind.

Ding!

: I saw your biography. You're older than me? Like four months? How cute.

He-heck... Damn... Who's this kid?

: That would be very hot.

I'm out of words... He's literally psycho. What came into his mind to do this with me?

: You're overstepping in my boundaries. Maybe the next thing that will happen helps.

I meant that by clicking menu. And choosing the block number statement below was my intentions.

If you're thinking how I was able to get this option since the last time I tried has logical reason why I can't do so, I just updated my phone even if it was also an updated phone because IOS phones can block numbers. Lol.

And I just hoped I didn't backed up my datas from that older phone in the first place.

Do you really wish on blocking this number?

Yes | No

The first choice relieved me, but the latter seemed a bit odd. It has something on the side that was formed like a calligraphy word written; here. And when I clicked yes. Nothing happens. The number was still there. Saying; typing... I did it once again, and again, and again. Although, I finally stopped because the settings aren't working next.

Right before I can click the home touch...

: WHAT THE f**k ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE?! THAT YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF ME?! I CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE INCLUDING THE PERSONS NEAR YOU! I MONITOR ALL THINGS YOU DID AND ALL THINGS YOU'LL DO! YOU'RE GOING TO BLOCK ME, AREN'T YOU?! BECAUSE I SAW IT IN MY PC, YOU'RE TRYING TO DELETE ME!!!

... My heart sunk, and I feel the cold bids of sweats dripping down some random crooks of my face once I read the message, and I almost drop my phone in surprise. Not just the surprise but more on spooked and creeped.

: IF YOU WANTED TO BLOCK ME, THEN SO BE IT! I'M COMING AFTER YOU AND WE'LL LIVE TOGETHER UNTIL I'M FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

: WE'LL PLAY ANYTIME I WOULD WANT TO WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, AND YOU'LL SUFFER UNDER MY GRASP!!!

... Even my knees started to growl, everything in me poked on its own accord. I've never felt so f*****g sick like this before. I wanted to run, I wanted to like ask for help, and maybe call the police for assistance... Yeah? Police!!!

So I scram. I open the dial app and started clicking those numbers, nine... One... O-... What the??? My phone?... My phone just glitched. I click unto it once again, but it never work. I tried again but it seemed very clear that it can't be now. My anxiety run outmost and maybe it rises until I fall.

Suddenly, someone put their hands on my shoulder ~ "f**k!" I frantically overreacted... Shit...

"Oh, that can wait, boy. First, go to your white screen now." My manager told me. But right now... I can't. There's a big, big problem I'm experiencing currently. Though, I still nodded.

After the session, they gifted me new clothes just like the others. Sweaters, socks, bags, bonnets, and other fabricated clothings. "He-hey, uhm... Can I crash a ride?" Despite I owned a very much more nice and sophisticated car, I still chose to ride along with a friend as I towed my car for help.

I can't be alone, you know? I still felt nervous, I still feel afraid, and I felt uneasy all around. "Just tell me where do you live, buddy." The one who take the wheel said. I nodded softly as I told him the address then.

It's silent inside, there were five of us and it's still deafening quiet. While I was settled to sit at the passenger's seat because there were three girls wanted to spill their teas at the back seat, Paul keep stealing glances at me by the side of his eyes. Sometimes, when we're stopped caused by red traffic light, he nonchalantly squeeze my thigh weirdly and I was just like... "Dude..." Which was low in a protesting taunt...

"Uhm, guys. We're getting some dinner?" A girl with blond hair inquired after she poke her face at rear view mirror. "Meaning, we're getting off, see 'ya." With swiftness, they didn't invite me. They leave me all astounded. The guy drifted the car once again after the traffic light went green, but he stop and enter a tunnel with orange lights inside.

"So..." So?

"Dude, why'd you do that?" I questioned quizzically, looking for an answer in every faces he gave me.

"Why not?" Then he lean close to grab my crotch as he put his lips on mine which I react menacingly disturbing. He tried to attempt again but now with fierce eyes just like how quick his mantra's sudden shift.

"Dude!" I came to yell all voiced out.

"Quiet... What do you want? A thousand of dollars? Twenty? Fifty? Because we can just go it all the way " He whispered with eyes like hungry lion. Just about time when I decline his offer, the door clicks, indicating that he just lock the damn s**t.

At first, my eyes widen, my fist grew hard and my consciousness shift off from cool and afraid to nervous and insane as I drag my body to ravage the area. "You bastard! Get me out off here!!!" I yield. However, Paul didn't flee, nor he tried his best to overpower me.

And yet again, I seemed to be fragile and weak so it ends up to be me being tightly restrained by my own seat with his cotton's belonging belt. "Please!" I shouted at the top of my throat.

"No, hun. We're toge-"

~!

Forced to be shut by the explosion of I don't know whatsoever. Paul bleeds on his mouth, his shirt started staining with red spots already and the way he looked at me changed.

As soon as I unravel the twisted knots on my limbs, I finally got off the car under this peaceful tunnel. There were garbages rolling everywhere and the memory of getting all of these things under control made me uneasy.

I didn't know what just happened, there's this guy whom harrased me and there's this explosion that helped me escaped... Was that a gun shot? Because it's clear, a gun shot... But nevermind. All I was just thinking right now... Is that... If there's a gunshot... Then there's a shooter?

Then who'll do that for me?

My legs were able to stop and the new alarming feel burning in my chest connects on my brain. It's so painful, it itch like hell, and the shards that leave my stomach ache. Someone just had my torso blown.

"You have a nice body. I can feel them inside." The voice was very familiar, the shadow of the person appears tall, and when I look up. The mysterious covered man stand at the front of me while I kneel due to the agony I am now enduring.

I spluttered blood off my mouth, yet the metallic taste adds through the melancholic hypertension between us. I can still feel his smirk even though it was covered with black fabric, and after a minutes of just staring together. He fall back, leaving a yellow note down at my face.

In a nice handwritten style, there lies;

We met again, you owe me your life twice now. And if I ask for a simple favor once again, you should give it or else you'll die. So do your family and friends.
