Obsession: Provoking

“Hold up one sec,” I tried to process this, “Are you saying he hurt you?”
“Yes, I am. I’m here to warn you, Gabe. I know, its random, but I needed for you to be alone and found you here,” she rolled her sleeve back down and walked away. Wait! Dont go, i need to know more! I couldnt get the words out of my mouth. I was scared that Jared was even more dangerous than I thought.

There isnt anything left to do. I couldnt get away from him. Avoiding him only made it worse, and if I stuck too close I could get hurt, like Shannen. So what to do… Then my phone rang, Jueli’s ring tone.
“Hey, where’d you go?” She asked concern filled her voice.
“I had to get out, and that didnt help,”
“What happened?”
“Someone told me to watch out. Thats he’s dangerous,” It was hard for me to repeat that. Silence. I could tell Jueli was just as stunned.
“At least you’re safe in one place, right?” she said.
“Yeah, ho—” I could NOT believe my eyes, “me. Jueli, I’ll call you back.” I saw Jared sitting in my house.
