| Wednesday, May 7th 2008 In Glasgow I can't stand it. I just can't. Every time I step outside, I'm scared. Every time I pick up the phone I'm scared. I hid it from Steve. I don't want to annoy him with those things, he who is still kind of mourning his love... Camie helps me as much as he can, but he can't stay with me all the time, obviously. Sasha is always too busy. And Paul is not answering my texts. This is either good news or bad. Good, because he might be too busy spending time with Emma. Bad, because, like Steve, he might have been deceived, and being crying his self out. Ok, I'm going to check on him tonight after work. It is not a stupid drunken guy who's going to stop me taking care of my little brother. At 5, Steve calls me. I answer and when I tell him what I plan to do, he offers to come with me. So be it, we meet up at half 6 at the bottom of my building, and after a quick chat, we decide to take the subway. At one point, I think I recognize my stalker, but then no, and I just try to convince myself that I am just being paranoiac. We get off at our stop, and start walking down the street. At one point, someone passes us by walking quite fast. Steve can see I'm nervous, and he is telling me about his job. I try to pay as much attention as I can, but find it quite difficult to actually listen to what he is saying. We turn round the corner. We pass some guy, leaning on the wall. And that's when I hear my name... "Charlie..." It is not really said. It is more like a whisper. It starts again. "Charlie... Tssss. Another one. No wonder, with your angelic face..." I turn slowly around. Steve stops walking and stands by me, with his arm around my shoulders. I face the guy. It 's him. I try to keep calm. "Another one... I can't believe it." He starts walking towards me, while he's talking. That's when I see it. I look briefly at Steve. He saw it too.
The guy has got a pocket knife. | |
