2021-06-30 09:03:28When I got home the security cameras were up and running, my parents had been surprisingly fast. I could see the camera recordings on all devices and even on the TV, so I linked them to my computer so I could see all the videos in real time. There was only one camera that interested me the most and that was the one that pointed towards the front door.
My parents were making dinner and had told me to relax, but after twenty minutes I was still sitting in the same position watching my computer. I wanted to go to the cafeteria and buy a cake but it was already dark and I was afraid that something would happen to me if I leave the house. I rested my elbow on the table while I stared at the videos, the cars came and went on the road and that was the only thing that happened. Nothing else.
"I must be freaking out," I whispered under my breath and slammed my computer shut.
I had lived in that neighborhood all my life and I knew all my neighbors perfectly, I had never b

I felt very calm after our family meeting, my parents told me that everything was going to be fine and that was just what I needed to hear. I went up to my room with restored spirits and focused on the day ahead. I put on a red tank top that made me look slimmer, black pants, a black jacket and matching boots, I even struggled a bit with makeup, but the hard part was brushing my hair because I hated having to untangle it. With the pain in my soul I grabbed the comb and began to brush it while looking at my reflection.When I was in high school I had long hair, but keeping it that way involved a lot of problems so I got fed up and one day before going to college I showed Paola a magazine and gave her scissors to cut my hair. It was not a good idea because, she didn't cut it like the girl in the magazine but anyway I loved my new style and since then I have always kept my hair short. Never in my life did I like to comb my hair and that day I was doing it out of love for Isaac,

My parents started the entire lawsuit process against Fernando and he had no choice but to get a lawyer, we did not speak to each other again at the university and I enjoyed a lot of peace and tranquility for the following weeks since the mysterious man had disappeared without leave a trace. I no longer received strange calls, or notes, or roses and they did not follow me either, the security cameras worked twenty-four hours a day and in all that time they did not record any suspicious person. It was not a coincidence, it was obvious that Fernando was scared by the lawsuit and that is why he had stopped bothering me, everything was quite clear to me. I was very anxious to go to court because I wanted to see his castle of lies fall little by little. Every morning I checked my calendar to cross out the days, all I wanted was to end it all.While I was waiting for the big day Isaac came to my house to ask for my hand, he was very worried but without reason because things could n

“You look very tired. Did you sleep well last night?” Paola asked me with concern."Not really," I admitted.I looked at myself in a small mirror and saw that the skin under my eyes was black.“You have been very quiet and you are not like that. Something wrong?”I sighed and turned to look, I could see Isaac in the distance, he stood out among the others because of his formidable body and he was buying us something to eat while we waited for him at one of the most distant tables of the restaurant."Does it have to do with the meeting you had yesterday?" She continued."Fernando is not the culprit," I admitted suddenly.Paola frowned.“Did you find out who he is?”“That I would like to know, but I don't know.”I grabbed my phone and showed her the message I had received.“They sent it to me just at the time Fernando was signing the agreement.&rdquo

My little brain could barely focus on what the teacher was saying, I tried to write down every now and then but couldn't finalize any ideas, Isaac was sitting next to me and he seemed to be very calm, quite the opposite of me. Paola insisted that I not trust him, but I told her that she was wrong and that I firmly believed his loyalty, in the end we could not agree and we both agreed to hide everything we had talked about. I didn't want to eat anything during the break because I had no appetite so I stayed in my seat while all my companions left the happy section of life, except Isaac who decided to stay with me.“You want to tell me what's wrong? He asked impatiently.”I was very surprised.“What do you mean?”“You are very thoughtful. Does it have to do with Fernando?”“Of course not.”“So?”I hesitated for a moment and decided that it was impossible for me to distrust him

I knew we were going to argue at the university and I had prepared myself for it. Isaac was alone under an oak tree and was admiring the landscape of the university when I arrived. I approached with slow steps thinking that he had not seen me, but I was wrong.“How was your date? He asked cheekily as he looked in my direction. There was something about his gaze that seemed very strange to me, but I couldn't identify what it was.”"I didn't have an appointment.”“The atmosphere looked very romantic so let's call things by their names.”“Don't say stupid things, his sister was with us.”"She must be very interested in matching them up," he scoffed.“What do you have against him?”“In case you don't remember, you are being stalked by a maniac who is loose somewhere and you have no idea who he is. It could be your little doctor, you shouldn't trust him so much.”&ldq

The little birds sang and flew freely from one place to another and transmitted a certain level of tranquility to me, however, my mind did not take long to return to the same thing again and again, Isaac did not come to class and I still did not decide to go look for him or no, it was very possible that he refused to talk to me. There was a couple of doves on the branch of an oak and it was too cute for me to see them close together and with their eyes closed. A part of me didn't want to leave the house, but I knew perfectly well that being in college was distracting me a bit so it was the best for my sanity.“Have you checked your Facebook wall? Paola asked as she looked at her phone.”We were both standing next to a row of trees waiting for a taxi to leave the university, classes were over and we had the rest of the day off which meant nothing to me. I was a bit surprised by her question because she knew that checking social media was the last of my worri

When I woke up the next day, everything that happened seemed unreal. I did not go to the university because I never thought to return, I could never feel at ease knowing that he was with me in the same section. Before all this chaos started the only important thing for me was to finish my degree and now I didn't care in the least. Isaac kept calling me but I didn't even go to my phone, I felt too hurt and one part of me had many things to reproach him while the other preferred not to know anything more about him.My parents had a very important appointment in court that they couldn't cancel so they left me alone and I preferred it that way because I needed silence. The sky was very cloudy and as expected it started to rain, I was wearing black pants and a long-sleeved black blouse that covered me up to the wrists, my hair was loose and I put on comfortable shoes.I sat at my desk and watched the raindrops through the window as I lost myself in thought.

I fell on the roof that divided the two floors, but it was very slippery and I did not have time to hold on so I fell crashing to the garden floor. My back took the full impact of the fall and a stab of pain ran up and down my spine, inevitably making me scream. The pain was unbearable, I had never felt something so intense in my entire life. It all happened in a matter of seconds and in a way it seemed like a dream, but my suffering confirmed that it was very real. I wanted to run to safety, but I was not able to stand up, I did not even know what was happening to me. I crawled to the side and couldn't keep moving anymore because my body didn't respond to me, my face was up so I tried to concentrate on breathing while looking at the ceiling.“Kim!” Ezra was calling me from upstairs but he couldn't see me because the ceiling prevented him. I kept quiet and stopped making noise, however he stopped calling me and I knew he was going to come down to find me, th

The jury found Ezra guilty of attempted murder and he received a sentence with the possibility of parole. Knowing that I was behind bars reassured me a lot, but that was not all. The accident fractured his spine and left him disabled for life, so that he could never get away from his wheelchair. It was very surprising for everyone.Isaac and I went back to college after he was discharged from the hospital and our classmates threw us a surprise party. We both started studying hard and focused on reaching our goals. Life was actually too short to live meaninglessly. We both knew what we wanted to do with our lives and that pushed us forward.My life was never the same as before, but changed to become a much better existence, my family became more united than it already was and I had Isaac by my side brightening my days which was invaluable. I could leave my house as many times as I wanted so I felt like a butterfly in freedom, I decided to add outdoor exercise sess

Days and weeks passed and Ezra continued without being caught. Local television channels stopped covering his escape and began to focus on the other news of the moment. The police patrols guarding my house and Paola's were removed without our being able to do anything. After all the advance that I thought I had made in the right direction, I fell back again.Paola and I spoke several times a day on the phone and she told me that she could no longer see her house in the same way, which was very understandable because her whole home reminded her of what happened and that filled her with fear. I couldn't help but feel guilty while listening to her, Ezra must have hanged me and not her. My uncles did not take long to come to the conclusion that their daughter required psychological therapy and they offered me to go with her, I declined their offer because I preferred to focus on other things, however the idea sounded perfect to my mother's e

Isaac knocked on Margaret's door and we both waited for her to open it for us. The sun was very strong and it was around two in the afternoon. Isaac grabbed my heavy backpack and pulled it off my back to put it on his. After the incident with Paola, I didn't think to go back to college anymore, but Isaac used all the charms he had and managed to convince me to go with him. For her part, Paola was not going to attend classes for a while and that made me sad although her position was perfectly understandable.I felt someone's gaze on me and instantly looked back, yet there was no one there, not even a car. Being on that property brought back bad memories and any creaking in the garden would put my nerves on edge. Isaac noticed my nervousness and grabbed my hand.“Relax nothing happens.”I nodded and squeezed his hand.“Are you sure you don't read my mind?”"Sometimes yes," he replied with a smile.Margaret opened the do

I grabbed my favorite mug and began to make myself an extra strong coffee, the sun had risen in all its splendor and the atmosphere felt very calm, the opposite to my mind that it was complete chaos. I could not sleep all night and therefore felt very tired. I could hear my parents talking in the living room while they watched the news, everything that happened was on the news, they were even talking about it on the radio. My classmates left me a thousand messages of support and Margaret offered me her apologies even though she was not to blame for anything. I sat in the dining room and started sipping my coffee while trying to decide what to do with my life.Isaac called me back for the millionth time, however I preferred to ignore my phone and let the call get lost. I had nothing to say and I didn't want to hear him because his voice could tear my self-control apart. Our relationship had ended and I was trying to convince myself that it was the best, it hurt me to know that
OBSSESION Chapter 20
I lost consciousness as a result of the fall and wandered in the darkness of my mind for a time that I could not define. When I started to open my eyes again I did not feel my body at all and did not remember anything about the latest events. I needed to lift my head and meet Ezra's blue eyes to remember my horrible situation, he was kneeling next to me with a bloody shoulder and staring at me as he turned the knife in his hand. I screamed in fear and wanted to run, however my body did not move a muscle, the pain began to run through my entire being and I had to ignore it to start crawling back. Ezra got up and began to slowly advance towards me while squeezing the handle of the knife.“All I did was give you love and you pay me like this” What he said was an abomination to my ears, “I sent you roses, I gave you a doll made especially for you, I wrote you thousands of love letters and I always made sure that you were fine. Has that asshole Isaac done somethi

The birds did not stop singing and flying from one side to the other, I could see them through my window but that did not manage to lift my spirits because it reminded me of what I experienced the night before. I was lying on my bed watching the hours go by. It was a Saturday and I couldn't go to class to distract myself so I was just getting deeper into my misery.I grabbed a painting of Isaac and looked at it longingly. For four years he was my best friend, we shared many things together and although I secretly loved him I never thought there could be chemistry between the two and it turns out that I was very wrong. Since I met him, he caught my attention so I could not say exactly how long he had enchanted me, in fact it was very possible that I had always loved him without realizing it. The urge to cry invaded me but I held myself back because I wasn't going to fix anything by crying. I gave the photo a kiss and held it against my chest. I wanted to hug him and he w

It was still very early and I was ready to go to college, my parents were still asleep and I had to take advantage of that to leave but I couldn't help feeling insecure, I watched the horror house through my side window and I didn't see any suspicious movements. I was eager to confront Margaret yet the opportunity had not presented itself.I sat at my desk and turned on my computer to review the recordings of the cameras in real time, I felt very safe inside my house but everything changed when I went out to the outside world. Ezra could be waiting for me around the corner, he could even show up at the university, he had no idea what he was planning and it was a risk I had to take. Everything looked normal outside so I shut down the computer and put all my fears aside to go to college.I waited for Isaac in the hall but he never came, the classes did not interest me in the least but I was hoping that he would show up so I decided to enter the section and take a seat in
