I pulled the hat I had on further down my face, making sure to take the trail back to my house, but it was tricky because people were out and it was hard getting from the buildings to there.
As I walked, I stumbled a few times from the tears in my eyes.
'I just killed Russell's best friend.'
'I killed Jake.'
I fell to the ground and sobbed historically, which was making it hard for me to breathe.
"Pull yourself together you fool, if anyone sees you it will only raise suspension."
I ignored myself and continued crying.
"Get up."
"I'll get over it when I get over it." I told myself.
Not after long, I wiped my face with the back of my hand, then got up off my fours and continued on home.
Still sobbing like an idiot, which caused my vision to blur.
I pushed my door open and stumbled up the stairs; I sat on the top crying for a while before heading to my bathroom.
I didn't realize that I was covered in so
‘As much as I wanted Russell out of my house, he didn't seem to want to leave. Because here he was, sitting around my counter eating chocolate rice crispy cereal.’"Babe, have you heard from Jake, by any chance?""Why would I?"'Why can't you get that I don't like that snake, he is- was not my friend.'"I don't know. I thought he would have stopped by.""How many times do I have to tell you that he nor your other friends aren't welcomed here?"Russell didn't respond, he only hit the spoon to the side of the bowel, took a spoonful of cereal chewed loudly."Maybe you should try calling him.""I have been doing that.""Well, I don't know. You should get to work and stop worrying about him.""He is my friend."I shrugged."Aren't you going to work?""Working from home. Plus, my new, new assistant has things under control."When Russell left, I turned the TV on. I was wondering h
"You hired someone to kill Jake!""Not so loud. I don't want anyone to hear.""There is nobody around but us." I frowned at him."You never know, and your phones records everything you say." Ryan told me."Don't be ridiculous.""It's true. Ever talk about wanting something, then get notifications about it after.""Oh, this idiot." I said under my breath."Well, you should be worried, then." I said to him.Ryan's eyes widen, "I was drunk when I did it. Hell, I'm drunk now.""Yes, but you are still conscious. So they will say that you knew what you were doing.""This is bad on my side, but I doubt the guy even took me seriously. He laughed right in my face.""You never know."Ryan jumped to his feet."I have something to do."'Well, that was totally unexpected. Can't say I saw Ryan confiding in me about him thinking that he killed his friend.''And I have it all recorded just in ca
'It didn't take long for me to get over Russell. After all, he was no good and had no direction in life.''I had to learn the hard way to see the type of person he really is, but I'm glad that I now see the light.''And so was Felix. He started to come over often again, like he did before Russell moved in.''And I won't lie. I did feel lighter, like an enormous burden have been lifted from my shoulders.''I should have broken up with him long ago. I had so many chances to and never did.''But I had finally cut all ties with him.''No longer was I this grown man's sponsor, and I can now focus on better things.''We ignored each other at work, which a few people noticed but kept at a hush.''My father seemed happy that I let him go, too.''I still remember the day of our argument.'(Russell stayed the night but slept in a different room, and when he was moving his things out of my room to the next that same night. H
When I got home, the first thing I did was to do some investigating on how that Brenda chick was.‘Which didn't take long to find.’Brenda Swan, yet another fake blonde.Unemployed.The middle child of two boys.Both of her parents are dead.And she has a child of her own.She's only 19.‘Like, what the hell?’‘Did you know about this?’‘See, this is why I have to constantly keep a check on you. These girls are only looking for a way out. She needs a way to support her child, and you are that.’There wasn't much about Brenda, her life was boring.She didn't have as much as a high school diploma.‘Only thing she could say she accomplished was being a cheerleader in high school. Well, so was I. But that isn't even much to brag about.’‘But why my Russell, of all the men in this big city, why Russell?’‘Wh
3 hours, it took me 3 hours to get home, and in that time, I almost crashed 5 times. All because I was crying over Ryan, which I should not be.‘I didn't commit a crime.’‘I doubt anyone would even miss him.’When I got home, all I could do was lock myself in my panic room and rocked myself back and forth as all sorts of thoughts floated around in my mind.‘How long will it take for them to notice that Ryan was missing?’‘That's if they even notice.’‘Did someone see the smoke from the road?’‘Did anyone see me?’‘It was such an open field.’‘And what was Ryan going off about not trusting Russell?’I already didn't, not after all the times he cheated and now that he had my father's watch, that only drove me not to trust him even more.My hands were trembling so badly, I had to sit on them to make they stopp
I did nothing or said a thing to Russell after he broke the windows out of my car. I just left him to his abnormal ways.I acted as if I didn't see him following me; I acted as if I didn't know he was messing with my peace.Even though it was less than two weeks ago, I'm still not fully over what he said to me. I have to remember his harsh words and make sure to hold it against him.I didn't know why he was so obsessed with me, and it got worse overtime.It all started when he start working at our company, when I had him as my assistant. He would always just pop up in my office for no reason. He would always make sexual passes at me whenever we were alone.But what got him demoted was when he forced his tongue down my throat. Instead of getting him fired, I moved him to H.R. but I should have known that he would have kept it up, if anything, it only got worse.That made me do some research on who he was, which was taking longer to come than
"Fe, red alert." I said, talking into the speaker at his gate the next morning."Chelsea, you know the code. Get your ass in here."When I got up to his house, I didn't even put the car into park good enough before jumping out."Yeah there, where is the fire.""My dad sent me an email and I can't believe what it said."I was freaking out, and Felix had to pull me over to a seat."Calm down, breath. What happened?""The P.I. that my father put on the job said that Russell might have killed somebody.""No fucking way.""Yeah, and the reason why it was so hard to find anything about him is because his name might not even be Russell. The address he gave us at the company was a fake, so it is only making it all harder to find anything much on him.""Shit, this is serious." Felix said, running his hand through his hair, being careful to mess it up."I'm so scared.""You don't have to be. When they find him
And a month after Russell had his weird break down at the country club, I can now say that I feel safe. Thanks to the restraining order and the help that they got him.I can also safely say that Ethan and I were now openly dating.A much better man than my ex, someone that might just be crazier than Russell.But I have to tell myself that Ethan won't be anything like them, I hoped. So far, he was nicer and much more ambitious.He knew how to save for more than just a rainy day; he was very respectful and best of all. My father liked him, which he never normally did to any guy that I talked to. But maybe him being one of his best worker made it a plus.Their business golf play quickly turned to regular golfing on the weekends, and even inviting him to dinner at his place.They always said mother's knows best, but it was my father who knew what was best for me.I rolled over when the alarm went off and felt strong arms pulling me closer
