Bloody Lips

Episode 10

ALEXANDRA POV :

I stir awake from my slumber when I hear my alarm beeping.

I pull back from the pillow and oh so-love bed and shut off the alarm,sitting up in a bed,rubbing my eyes to remove sleep.

Today I have to go to work. As I was about to enter bathroom , my eyes fell upon my dressing table’s mirror.

My eyes widen as my heart thumps wildly. I look over at it again. I put my hand over my mouth and think should I tell the police?

But again they will think I did it by myself or maybe they think right.

I don’t know.

I move my way slowly towards the dresser and read the note again.

What the hell? Is this BLOOD???

Now my mouth opens in fear, I shook my head frantically.

‘ Don’t you dare go to sleep before I come , love. ‘

The note contains this line on the mirror, this innocent line. But it is not so innocent because it is written in red colour. I am not sure whether it is paint or blood.

My eyes move down and I see my red color lipstick whose cap is opened . I frown. There is also a paper note .

I pick it up and read through.

‘It’s just a lipstick,love. Don’t give yourself panic attack.”

What the fucking hell. Now I’m angry. How could he?? I fist the paper into ball and throw it across the room.

“Stop playing with my head!!” I shout.

Why is he trying to be funny with me? He is a bloody stalker and tries to be funny.

The nerve he has!

What am I going to do?

I move toward my bathroom, slam the door shut and start to get ready for the day.

~~~~~~~~

” Hello , pretty lady.” A voice interrupts my working rush.

I am so pissed after that incident that I am thinking about killing someone.

I look up with a frown which instantly goes away when I see who is there.

“Hey Justin.” I say, smiling. Wow I’m bipolar.

“Uh why are you angry today and in a mission of killing?” he jokes while sitting in one the seats across from my desk.

“N-nothing.” I curse myself mentally for stuttering.

“You know what they say? That when someone stutters , they probably are lying or hiding. So tell me what are you hiding? Or lying about? “

“Nothing” I snap at him.

How dare he said that I’m a liar.

He puts his hands up in surrender And move towards me confidently while smirking.

He leans down and kisses me, surprising me. It was short and soft.

He pulls back and stand straight, winking.

“Don’t want boss to see our dirty little secrets ” with that he drags himself out of my office but not before turning and giving me once over.

Dirty little secrets?

WHAT THE HELL??

He thinks it is a dirty little secret? What I am? A whore?

This is not good.

First that stranger put that note and now this.

I am not imagining that stalker. It is real but no one believe me. I had removed the note before coming here so that no one can see it if by any chance Lary or someone wish to pay visit. 56

I put my hands on my desk to calm my breathing. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

I’m being very angry nowadays. I should discuss it with Mr.Mark. 46

After I was done with my work, I collect my stuff and hurry out of the building so that I don’t cross my path with Justin. 3

I am not able to face him now. I can’t handle two things same time .

I drove towards the psychiatrist office to let my feelings off of my chest.

I really need it.

~~~~~

“In my opinion you are feeling this much anger because you are starting to feel things again. You are feeling emotions now. “

“You told me you’ve been alone for these years and never let any person in but now you are letting people in and feeling it. ” Mr Mark said.

Now i understand why it is happening.

Letting people in.

I always make this mistake and it happens.

Now I am doing this again

With Justin.

Why am I so bound in making my self suffer again and again.

“No no.. It is not a bad thing.. You should let people in. You showing emotions and feeling angry is good. You are not numb, you are feeling. It is good for mentality… “

Mentality my foot. Can’t he see, i’m going already mental?

“I always let people in, i feel, and then they leave me. 34

They leave me with this feeling.

It is good for my mentality? 4

To feel like this again and again? My mind , my heart hurt. I think i will go crazy by this feeling. “It is good for mentality now? ” i ask him seriously. 6

He looks at my face as trying to see through me but I put up a blank face. He looks in my eyes.

“Don’t do this. Don’t put this blank mask and let your feelings out by all your emotions and face expression. Don’t hold yourself back. I’m here to help you. Okay? “

He is here to help me. But how can I help myself?? My life has become so complicated.

“Okay..” I whisper.

“Umm.. I should get going now.. ” I continue and get up from the couch.

“You should come here again , Alex.. We are not over. You have to fight. ” Mark’s words bring tear to my eyes.

Fight.. I have to fight.

But against what? I don’t know.

I get out of there and head towards home where i break down as soon as the door has been shut.

I fall on my knees, putting a hand on my chest. This feeling is bitch.

I am scared.

I am so confused. I can’t let it go. Everything that had been happened , no one can help me with it.

Memories hunt me making my heart heavy, my throat feels like closing. I can’t breath. 1

I am broken.

I miss ….

I miss you mom… I need you to hold me when i cry.

I miss you dad .. I need you to help me out of this mess.

I miss you grandma.. I need you to help me get my life back.

And…

I miss you Xander.. I need your love.

I miss myself.. My old self.

I want everything back. I cry out loud.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh” i scream , tears falling down my eyes. 86

I am scared, I need all of them back.

Unknown POv

She is crying.

It feels like a stab to my heart. Why the hell is she crying? Who has made my love cry?

Rage burns through me, making my eyes, black. Who fuck with my love?Who had dared to?

I clench my fist.

But a sudden thought crosses my mind.

You.

Is this because of me?

Is she upset that i am scaring her? Playing with her?

But why will she be upset with me? She is my love. My love won’t be upset with me.

She needs me. She needs someone and that will be me.

Are you going to hold her? Let her see who you are??

No.

I can’t. What should i do now? 7

Think.. Think.

Yes i know what should i do to make her happy. Yes.

I dash down from the tree and run toward the nearest bakery.

The counter girl looks at me with a suggestive look.

“I know what you are suggesting but no..my girl is upset give me the damn cupcakes ” I snap at her with a hard face.

She looks at me with horrified face,hurrying to get my order.

I am rude? Yes.

Do I care? No fucking no.

Girls are so irritating but not all of them. My girl is so sweet. I sigh.

I snatch my order from her hand, putting dollars on the counter without waiting for change, I am out of the bakery and toward my love.

I enter her room and am greeted by silence and dark. Where is my love?

I hear for any movements from the living room. Nothing is heard except just a soft snoring which instantly bring a smile on my face.

My love is so cute. I make my way inside the living room but before peeking in to make sure she is asleep. I make my way toward the figure who is laying down on the floor in a mess.

I look down at her with my heart clenched in my chest.

Knees tuck in, arms around her knees in a protective instance. And hairs covering the face. Her breathing coming as hiccups.

I sigh why is she so sad. But she sleeps again before me.

I shake my head. She is upset , I’ll forgive her for that I think. 192

I kneel down beside her body and move her hairs from her face. The scene make my heart breaks into pieces.

Eyes swollen, cheeks and nose red, mouth forming a sad frown, tears staining her porcelain skin.

It is because of you. You can’t play with her mind.

I know. I am just too stubborn to accept it. I can’t let her go. I want her to know I’m watching before I take her.

But she is hurting because of this sick game.

I shrug my shoulder. I will think what I can do.

I put the packet of cupcakes beside her and move my fingers over her cheeks.

I hope these cakes can make her day.

I get up and look around what i can do so that she can sleep comfortably..

I can’t carry her to the bed. I can’t risk waking her up. 7

Hmmm.

I go into her room to take the pillow and bed sheet.

Putting the pillow beside her head and sheet over her body, I move out of the apartment but not before leaving another note.

ALEXANDRA POV:

I snuggle my head further into my pillow.

My pillow?

I frown in my sleep. Why am I on the bed? I don’t remember being asleep ? All I remember is that-

I WAS CRYING ON MY LIVING ROOM.

I jerk up awake in horror and look around. I am still in my living room, I frown in confusion.

But why pillow is here? I look down at the pillow along with my bed sheet.

I nod my head okay. I am still in my living room not on bed.

Nothing is creepy.

But at the thought of creepy, my eyes widen in fear.

How the fuck pillow and bed sheet come to me?

‘They don’t come to you, someone put them over you.’ My subconscious roll its eyes.

Someone.. SOMEONE!

My eyes fall on the brown color packet. What is this? Is this a bomb? Maybe a cut finger of your love ones?

But who is my love one here?

No one.

Okay no cut body parts. I am going to call Lary.

But.

But whenever I think about telling her, all I can think is that she won’t believe me.

I sigh in disappointment and look at the packet for 10 minutes hoping either it become invisible or the contents come outside magically.

But the curiosity gets the best of me.

With shaking hands I pull the packet towards me. Not holding it up just using my fingers to open it, I open the packet and.

I am shocked. And happy.

THERE ARE CUPCAKES FOR SAKE. AND NOT ANY CUPCAKE. BROWNIE CUPCAKES.

My lips form a grin. I love this heaven.

I am about to put my hand in the packet without a question when a thought flashes on my mind.

Who put them here?

It can be drugged or poisonous?

Maybe he is hiding here,waiting when I eat them and get drugged so that he could kidnap me.

I look around my house.

I stand up ,slowly ,trying not make any noise.

I take a knife in one hand and a wooden spoon in other so that if there is someone ,I can protect myself. I open my front door so I can make a run if needed.

I move around the house looking and peeking at every corner, cabinets and under the bed with heart thumping. After the search, I realize there is no one so i stand in front of the packet of cupcakes now .

It can be drugged.

Or may be not?

I take one in my hand and look at it, hoping it tells me its secret.

It looks so inviting and tasty.

Maybe it even tastes better.

How can I left them alone?

Fuck you stalker , I’m eating these goods, wanna kidnap me? Okay do hell with it but I’m not dying before eating these.

What? I love cupcakes? I know someone out there, understand this. I just can’t let them go ,I sigh.

With that thought, i eat them one by one. Enjoying their heavenly taste. Moaning at every bite.

Maybe the stalker is not so creepy at all…
