Secrets

Chapter 11

Lisa

When we arrived at my apartment door there was a single rose with a note sitting right at the door mat. I was very confused as to why that was there. There had never been a rose placed there before. “That is interesting I wonder who left that there and who is it for. “ I said out load as I looked down at the rose.

Both Chance and Jett looked over at me. One was holding a stack of pizza boxes and the other one held all three of our backpacks on his shoulder. I was still thinking in my head why was there a rose on my door step. I looked at the rose and note with my head tilted to the side just thinking. I was not reaching for it I was just looking at it.

“Lisa, are you going to pick it up? Do you think it is for you or is it for your room mate?” Chance turned to me and started grilling me. The look on Chance’s face was one of confusion and even hurt. That threw me for a minute it was like he was hurt that the rose could be for me. But that could not be right he did not like me like that. Did he?

“I guess I should look to see who it is for. I don’t think it is for me but let me look to see.” I started to reach for the rose and note. As I looked down at the items a name jumped off the note and I froze. No it could not be him. How in the world did he find me? I started to back up from both the items without even picking them up. “Do not touch either one of those items. We have to call the cops right now!” I grabbed Chance’s arm as he started to reach for the items.

“Lisa it can not be that bad.” Jett said as he was also starting to reach for the items before he could get to them I had grabbed his arm and was pulling both the men into the apartment. “Lisa let go! We can not just leave those items out there!”

“Yes we can. We have to call a detective to come out and get these items. Where did I put my phone? I need it right now it has the number in it.” I was searching around in my purse for my phone. I finally just dumped all the contents of my purse on to the floor. Once I did that I was able to locate my phone. “Yes I found it!” As I stated the words I was already dialing the detectives number. I walked to the kitchen and started talking to the detective as soon as he picked up the phone. At one point while I was on the phone I looked into the living room to see bot the men sitting on the couch talking quietly to each other. I had no clue what they were saying because I was trying my best to listen to detective Lucas.

“Ok Lisa we will be there soon to take the items into our possessions. Do not touch them at all and please stay inside the apartment until we get there. Once we are there we will handle everything. He should not have been able to find you at all.” Detective Lucas told me and me being me I just nodded like he could see me over the phone.

“See you soon Detective.” I stated as I canceled the call. I started into he living room to sit on the couch with the men. “I will explain but it will have to wait until after the detective comes and gets the items.
