AUTHORS P.O.V
"What?" Harry smirked amused back at his little brother. "We really fucking need to talk!" He spat. Harry waited in silence for him to continue, and he soon did.
"Why the fuck did I wake up under your bed?" Ross burst out in an outraged manner. Harry shrugged, "You're a sleepwalker." Ross shot him an offended look. "What? No I'm not!" "How would you know? You're sleeping while doing it you know." Harry stared at him seriously though his voice was mocking him.
Ross looked at him, puzzled.
"Whatever."
SELENA'S P.O.V
It was Monday, and I still hadn't talked to Ross or Harry. I just felt over it at the moment. I put all of that aside and focused on the anticipating fact that I had theatre class today. As the bells rung after our last period for the day, I excitedly hurried there. Our extravagant teacher was about to announce the cast of roles for the play we were setting up.
A few minutes in my name was finally called. "Selena will play the leading role of Juliet, and her counterpart Romeo will be played by-" she cast a glance over her papers, "Jesper." My eyes met his, he was sitting on the opposite side. We exchanged encouraging smiles and he gave me a short nod. I looked down shyly.
I know it's horrible to say when I'm sort of with Ross, but this guy was good looking. It wouldn't be hard to act in love with him.
Mrs. Spunk called us up on stage. She handed us our scripts, with our lines highlighted for us. We played against each other for the first time and it went well. We sat chatting for a while afterwards, and when I finally went home I had a light feeling in my chest. It felt fresh to have a new face in my life, something easygoing and drama-free. Perhaps we could become friends.
A few weeks later
About two weeks had passed since the encounter with Ross and Harry. We made up, and I apologised. It hurt tough. It did hurt that my boyfriend didn't remember the first time we had taken it a step further. We hadn't spoken about it since but, I had to try and make him remember. And when it comes to me and Harry, there's not much too it. The only times we've hung out was on parties or when I'd be with Ross, but besides that, no. We hadn't hung out just the two of us, and honestly? I think it'd be for the best, because god knows I'd have no idea what'd I'd do if he'd touch me. Everytime he just as much as place his hand on my back, shoulder- there's a burning fire and I just want him to go further down. To give him all of me. Of course I've denied all of this to myself, which is for the best.
I stepped out of the shower, letting out a relaxed sigh as I neatly wrapped the towel around my chest and let my body dance along the rhythm to the song I was listening to. The towel accidentally fell to the floor but why'd I care? No ones home anyway and my room is on the second floor. I span around, closed my eyes, sang along to the music but then...
Click!
My eyes widened, turning around, "What was that?" I whispered to myself utterly confused and creept out. I slowly stepped towards the window and looked around for something to make sense. As I started to believe that my mind was playing tricks on me-
Click!
I fell back, being blinded by the flashlight. Someone was taking pictures of me! I immediately rushed to get my towel and dialled Ross number, "Ross? Ross are you there?" I panted heavily. "Selena? What's going on sweetheart?" His voice filled with worry. I shook my head, "I-I...someone was taking pictures of me. R-Right outside my window. Please come here." I panted heavily starting to freak out, "Sel? What? I'll be there in a few!" That evening Ross stayed with me for the whole night, holding me, calming me down while I was freaking out. I don't know what the worst part was- The fact that someone had naked pictures of me or the fact that someone was stalking me outside my window. I had never felt more unsafe in my life.
"Wait you're seriously telling me some creepy dude was taking pictures of you naked yesterday?" Sophie freaked out. "Do you want the whole cafeteria to hear?" Ross glared at her, looking around to see if anyone had heard, thankfully not it seemed like. I only nodded, staring down at my food. "I just don't understand. Why me?" I looked up at them terrified. "Does that matter? There's a stalker probably tracking your every move." Harry looked at me, freaking me out even more, "Thanks Harry." I sarcastically remarked, feeling an arm wrap around my shoulder. It made me more tense. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it, okay?" Harry smiled at me. "Yeah, and how will you do that you fucking idiot?" Ross glared at him. Harry's eyes shot up, glaring right back at him. Me and Sophie just stared at each other in shock, "I said don't worry about it. And call me that one more fucking time and I swear to fucking god that you'll be nothing other than a John Doe tomorrow." He stared into Ross eyes and I could tell Ross was caught off guard, frightened a little even? But then all of us were. I had never heard Harry threaten someone like that before and I hoped I'd never have to hear it again. Once the bell rang, I immediately got up from the table to escape what had just taken place and hurried out of the cafeteria. Turning around once I heard Harry calling for my name I ran right into someone, falling right to floor, whining once I hit the hard ground, "God, I'm so-" I looked up to see Jesper, "Selena?" He looked at me confused before getting up and reaching his hand out to help me up. I gently grabbed it and got up as well, looking at him with guilt all over my face and voice, "Yeah, I'm so sorry, I was in a rush." Jesper let out a small chuckle, "It's fine, look at me, I'm fine, aren't I?" He smiled looked down at himself to make sure he were jokingly which made me smile, still holding my hand, "Besides due to my clumsiness I usually fall once a day anyway, so thanks for doing my today's job." He joked, causing me giggle. "Right, then I suppose...you're welcome." I smiled at him.
"Selena." I looked over my shoulder to see Harry. Clearly he was pissed...I think? "We need to go." He stared at me seriously. I gave in since I didn't want to argue in front of Jesper. I looked back at him, "One thing before you go?" He asked, letting go of my hand. I smiled,"Yeah?" "Could I have your number?" He smiled, I immediately blushed and shrugged, "I mean, yeah sure." I said, typing in my number into his phone. "See you around Selena." He smiled before leaving off, me giving him a small wave as he left.
I turned to look at Harry only to flinch a little at his reaction, he seemed incredibly angry, and....could that be jealously?
"Who was that?" He gritted through his teeth. I stepped back, I had never seen him like this before, he looked like he was about to kill someone or even kill...me. His jaw clenched as he glared at me, "Selena!" I jumped, shrugging nervously. "Just a guy from theatre class." I managed to get out. "Why'd he ask for your number?" He asked once again. "I- we play Romeo and Juliet together." I whispered, looking down. I hugged myself slight to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling. He for once managed to make me feel unsafe. At times Harry could really scare or freak me out. It really made me question what kind of person he were.
"I need to go." I whispered and looked up only to see Harry stare at me with that look in his eyes that really unnerved me. I began to walk away from him only to look over my shoulder to see he was still staring at me. I swiftly looked away and rushed to the classroom.
Once school finally had ended I walked my way home. Plugging in my earplugs as I picked a song to listen to. I pulled my hands into the pockets of my light blue jeans shorts and sang ever so slightly along,
"I knew you were trouble when you walked in"
"So shame on me now"
"Flew me to places I'd never been"
"Til' you put me down, oh"
hearing a beep on my phone I grabbed my it from my pocket,
Unknown
Hey, it's Jesper from theatre class. Since the play is in a couple of weeks, I just wanted to ask if maybe you'd like to practice together sometime? Take care.
I couldn't help but smile at the message, and immediately put Jesper in my contacts before texting back,
Me
I'd like that. Sounds fun :)
Jesper
Tomorrow. After school?
I texting back with a yes, pulling my phone back in my pocket before stopping right in my tracks, and looking around. I paused the music, looking around once again. Ever had the feeling that someone was watching you? That's exactly how I felt right now. And then the last thing I wanted to happened-
Click!
I didn't spare a second. I ran all the way home, once I was inside the house I locked it, falling to the floor as I was panting for air with the feeling that my heart would beat out of my chest. I crawled into a ball, letting it all out, rivers flooded down my cheeks and I couldn't hold in my sobs, feeling as my whole body was collapsing. All comfort I had left, was gone. I didn't even feel safe in my own home. Wherever I went I felt as if someone was following me, watching me.
Stalking me
The only thing I could really do was to trust that Harry would find out who the stalker was, or..I could try and find out on my own.
