Complicated

Chapter 39

Maggie's POV:
I never thought someone could hurt me so much without even touching me. I know Leah told me already that he loves somebody else but I didn't think it would be my best friend herself.

Does she like him too? I don't know if I can stand seeing them in school everyday. Holding hands or kissing. But I can't do anything about it.

I should be happy for them. I walking down the street in the dim light of the laterns trying to hold back my sobs. I hate to cry. I don't want to feel so weak again. But I can't help it. Should I call Emma?

I actually want to be alone right now so I just text her that I went home. I sit down on a bench next to the pavement and just stare onto the ground. I have my jacket on but it's still a bit cold. I watch my tears fall onto my hands, which are lying on my thighs.

I hear my phone ring, signaling me that I have a nee message. It's probably Emma so I just leave it but it rings again. And again. I take my phone out to check who it is. My heart skips a best as I see that the unknown number has texted me.
.
Unknown: Poor Maggie
Unknown: It must hurt, right?
Unknown: But a weak little girl should still not be on the street alone so late
You: Who the hell are you and what do you want fron me?
Unknown: You will find out soon enough sweetie
.
What the f*ck? Who is this? Why doesn't he or she just leave me alone? I try to call the number but no one picks up. Coward. I bet the person just messes with me. I start to walk home but stop as I hear steps behind me.

I turn around quickly and see a dark figure standing a few steps away from me. I stop breathing. Oh no. This can't be happening. I blink a fee times and suddenly the figure disappeared. What? Am I going insane?

I look around and start to walk into the other direction as fass as I could with high heels. I hear the steps again and this time I take my heels off and run to the next house. I'm gonna pretend as if it's mine. Maybe the person leaves me alone then.

For my luck the little garden gate is open and I walk into the garden of the light green house. I head towards the door and act like I unlock the front door. After waiting a fee moment I walk back into the garden.

The owners have a huge pool and a little wooden house. Probably for garden supplies. Okey I'm going to call Emma. It rings a few times but she doesn't pick up. I try to call a fee other people. Luc, Shelly and Jackson. Non of them answers. Shit. They are still at the party.

I walk between the little house and the pool, so no one could see me from the street. I look up from my phone as I could hear something squeaking. The stranger opened the gate and looks around. He can't see me because it's to dark but I can see him.

Well not his face but it's definitely a man. My body starts shaking as the man slowly walks towards my direction. Oh god. What should I do? I slowly walk backwards.

I didn't notice that I'm so close to the pool. Falling backwards into I scream, catching the mans attention.
