Y/n's POV:

For the past month, something's been off. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it's very unsettling- like someone's been following me or something. Whatever it is, I'm hoping it's just my imagination playing tricks on me. I hate being stared at.

I'm eating lunch outside with my friends and my boyfriend, Hunter. Even though this is supposed to be one of those peaceful moments in one's life, I can't help but feel paranoid. The creeping suspicion that somebody's unsuspecting eyes were keeping tabs on me is incredibly uncomfortable.

It makes me grateful that Hunter's with me. I know he'd be there to protect me if I was ever in danger.

Even so, I'd feel weird telling him about this paranoia I've been feeling. I could sound like I'm crazy.

Luz is the first to notice my uneasiness. "Hey, Y/n, you feeling ok? You look pale."

"I-I do?" I brush my fingers against my face momentarily before setting them back down on my jeans.

Now Hunter looks concerned. "Yeah, you do look a little pale. Is something wrong?"

I hesitate to speak, but I manage to force a few words out. "Yeah, I-I'm fine. I must be lightheaded or something."

Hunter stands up and holds his hand out for me to take it. "Do you want me to take you to the nurse's office?"

I shake my head. "No, I'll be alright."

Hunter's eyebrows furrow. "Are you sure?"

My eyes quickly scan across the rest of the table, and I see that all my friends are worried about me. "Yes, I'm sure."

Hunter sits back down next to me and starts to get a little fidgety. "Alright. I'm sorry."

I squeeze Hunter's hand gently. "There's no need to be sorry. I should be apologizing for making you worry."

Hunter displays a small smile. "Worrying about you will always be my top priority. I just want to make sure you're safe."

Suddenly, Luz squeals. "Aww, you two are so adorable! I could literally die from a cute attack!"

"Please don't die," Amity speaks up. There was a small hint of laughter in her voice. "None of us would know what to do if you disappeared on us. Who else would be our 'Guide of the Human Realm'?"

"Hey! I'm a native of the Human Realm too," I remind her.

"That's right," Willow agrees. "Y/n can always take over as Guide if Luz does end up dying from a cuteness overload."

Luz moves over to where I'm sitting, picks up a nearby stick off the grass below us, and rests the tip of the stick on my shoulder. The others start giggling amongst themselves.

"Y/n L/n, as the official 'Guide of the Human Realm', I officially dub thee to be the 'Assistant Guide of the Human Realm'," Luz announces. "From now on, you will assist me in showing the residents of the Demon Realm around the very realm we stand in. Also, you are given permission to take over for me if I somehow can't do so myself."

I blush as Luz gives her speech. I'm not used to having a whole lot of attention drawn towards me, so it makes me a little embarrassed. "Thanks, I guess."

As everyone else is laughing together at Luz's silly antics, I feel another dose of paranoia coursing through my body. I turn my head behind me to see if anyone has been watching us, but I see no one.

Huh. That's weird... I think to myself. Maybe it really is my imagination after all.

Time Skip

I'm now sitting in Biology, minding my own business. None of my friends have this class with me, so I just keep to myself usually.

"Hey, there, Y/n!" a familiar voice calls out.

It's Kyle, a classmate of mine.

I'm somewhat close with Kyle, just not "best friend" level or anything. He always volunteers to partner up with me during labs in class, which is nice of him to do, since I don't really talk to anyone in this class.

"Hey," I reply with a friendly tone of voice. "How've you been?"

Kyle sits down next to me. "I've been great! How about you?"

"I've been doing alright." I play with the end of my shirt sleeve.

"Hey, I've been thinking... do you want to come over to my house today after school?" Kyle asks. "We could get to know each other a bit better, or play video games, or anything you'd want to do. It'd be super fun!"

I feel slightly uncomfortable with his offer. I'm not sure how Hunter would feel if I was hanging out with another guy.

"I-I'm not sure," I say. "I've been a little busy lately and I don't think Hunter would be too happy if I was hanging out with you alone."

"Hunter?" Kyle inquires. "Isn't he your friend or something?"

I blush and smile admiringly. "Actually, he's my boyfriend."

Kyle's eyes widen. "Boyfriend...?"

He looks a little... disappointed? Why would he be disappointed?

"Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm not sure that it's going to work out," I faltered. "Maybe you could hang out with me and my friend group sometime."

Kyle doesn't look me in the eye. "Yeah, that'd be nice."

There's something about Kyle that seems strange today. He's a little more downcast than he usually is.

Suddenly, our teacher enters the classroom and begins his lecture, cueing Kyle and I to pay attention to him. Throughout the entire lesson, I could feel that uncomfortable feeling quietly returning once more.

Time Skip

Later that day, I exit the school building with Hunter and the others, when I remember that I had left something in my locker.

I tug on the sleeve of Hunter's hoodie. "Hey, Hunter?"

Hunter looks back at me. "Yeah?"

"I left something inside my locker. I'm going to go get it."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Hunter offers.

I shoot him a reassuring smile. "No, I'll be fine. You can go on without me."

Hunter wears a look of disappointment, but I could tell he understood. "Alright, whatever you say. I'll see you later, ok?"

He kisses my forehead, causing butterflies to enter my stomach.

"I'll be right back!" I promise as I walk back inside the school. I think carefully about what it was I had forgotten earlier.

What was it I left again? Um... Oh, yeah! It was my jacket!

As I walk down the hallway, I yet again feel uneasiness in my stomach. This is starting to get weird. Is there someone really following me?

I glance around my surroundings once more, but I don't see anyone. The entire school should be completely deserted, except for the janitor, maybe. Wait, is the janitor following me?!

My mind is so cluttered with thoughts that I forgot to completely pay attention to my surroundings.

All of a sudden, I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my shoulders, and I jolt up in surprise.

"Hello, Y/n~" a voice whispers.

What is happening?! Who's behind me?! Why won't I stop shaking?! I mentally panic.

I can feel a cold sweat start to form along the edges of my forehead, then the vivid trembling of my limbs.

"Who-Who's there?" I ask shakily.

"It's me," the voice says, "Kyle."

Kyle?! What's he doing here?

"Um, what's up, Kyle?" I stammer. I don't like the way his warm breath brushes along my neck. "Why are you... hugging me like that?"

"Oh, nothing much," Kyle replies, snuggling his chin into my neck. "Just wanted to say hi to the most beautiful girl in existence~"

"Huh?" I am so confused. "You think I'm beautiful? What's going on?"

"Let's go to my house," Kyle requests. He traces my right shoulder with his fingers. "We can have so much fun together."

"I already told you, I'm not available," I clarify. "Hunter is waiting for me outside."

"Why do you care so much about Hunter, anyway?" Kyle asks, a little annoyed. "All you need is me. I can provide just as much as he can~"

I try to shove Kyle off of me, but I fail. "Eww, I don't want you to 'provide' anything! Let me go please."

Kyle squeezes me tighter. "No can do, Beautiful."

I attempt to pull him off once more. "Let me go."

"Nope~" Kyle purrs. "In enjoying myself way too much."

"Why are you acting like this?" I say with more urgency. "You weren't anything like this before."

"I love you, Y/n," he answers. "I always have. This isn't acting. I've always been this way. We definitely have some chemistry, and I'd love it if we took our relationship to the next level."

I gulp. "N-Next level? Hold on, we were never even in a relationship to begin with!"

"Of course we do, Beautiful," Kyle insists. "Why else do you think we talk so often and pair up for labs in class? You love me just as much as I do for you."

"I love Hunter, not you," I deny, struggling to get free. "Now let.. me... go!"

Kyle giggles. "No~"

"I'm being serious." There's a hint of panic in my voice. "Please... Just let me go!"

"Sorry, Beautiful. I don't want to."

"Let me go!" I frantically try to think of a way to escape, then gasp quietly when I figure something out.

I scream as loud as I can, hoping that the janitor can hear me. Kyle flinches at the loud volume, then firmly presses his hand over my mouth and drags me down the hallway and outside the building. I kick and wail frantically, but he seems to not mind at all. I'm scared and I can feel my eyes start to water up. What am I going to do?

Kyle suddenly slams me against the firm, brick wall of the school building. My back starts to hurt at the contact.

Kyle's hand is still over my mouth, so I stick out my tongue and lick it. He immediately pulls it off my face.

"Did you just lick my hand?" Kyle exclaims.

I grin amusedly.

Much to my disappointment, Kyle smiles in a creepy way. "You know, that kind of felt nice. Why don't you try licking me again? This time, aim for my lips, ok?"

Kyle slowly brings his face closer to mine, wearing a lovestruck smile. I try to squirm away from him, but he keeps me firmly pressed against the wall. I keep my mouth shut, knowing that another lick is what he wants. I won't give it to him.

"Oh, my! Do you really not want to lick me again?" Kyle questions with disappointment. "I know! Why don't I lick you instead?~"

He then sticks out his tongue and proceeds to move it around, as if he's trying to tease me. I turn my head away from him as best as I can, but it's no use. He just keeps getting closer by the second.

I let out a terrified groan as soon as I feel Kyle's tongue on my cheek. He quickly licks my cheek before moving on to my nose, licking the tip of it. Lastly, he gets even closer to my face and gently licks the surface of my lips. I squeal uncomfortably.

It only got worse when Kyle began pressing his luck by attempting to push his tongue inside my mouth. I try to hold him off, but his tongue overpowers me in just a couple of minutes. He's now allowing his tongue to explore each nook and cranny of my mouth. I breath heavily and my entire body is shaking.

Hunter, I plead, help me! Please, help me...

"Hey! What are you doing to her?!"

I gasp in surprise. It's Hunter!

Then, my heart stops. Hunter's pissed off.

Both his fists are clenched angrily, and I can easily see the fury in his eyes.

"Get off my girlfriend, you creep!" Hunter demands.

Kyle hesitantly removes his hands from my body, allowing me to breath easy again. He turns to Hunter and frowns.

"Oh, it's you," he snaps. "Why don't you just piss off? I'm trying to spend some quality time with the love of my life."

In a fit of rage, Hunter grabs Kyle by his shirt collar. "Listen up, douchebag. She's not the love of your life, and she never will be. Why don't you piss off instead of harassing my girlfriend?!"

I can see Kyle is starting to quiver. He's scared of Hunter. However, he decides to keep being difficult. "No, I won't piss off. You're the one who's getting in the way of my relationship with Y/n! You're ruining everything!"

Hunter punches Kyle directly in the face, then throws him into the grass and kicked him in the gut as hard as he can.

"DON'T YOU EVER COME NEAR Y/N AGAIN, DO YOU HEAR?!" Hunter shouts. "Y/N IS MY GIRLFRIEND AND SHE DOESN'T NEED YOU AROUND HARASSING HER! STAY AWAY FROM HER OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE!"

Kyle scrambles away from Hunter in a daze. He has a black eye now and he's clenching his stomach with one arm.

"O-Ok, ok!" Kyle stammers. "I-I'll leave her alone! S-Sorry!"

And with that, he takes off running. Even though he promised to stay away from me, I have a dreadful feeling that he'll come back someday.

With that out of the way, my shaking knees finally give in and I fall to the ground. I didn't even realize I had been holding my breath until now, so I began to breathe rapidly and fearfully.

What if Kyle comes back? I panic. What if he never leaves me alone? What'll happen to Hunter? Is he going to be ok? Kyle might end up hurting him! I don't want Hunter to get hurt because of me! What am I going to-

"It's ok. I've got you, Y/n." Hunter has his hand on my shoulder. I still can't breathe normally.

"Hunter...!" I gasp.

"Look at me." Hunter gently lifts my chin up with his fingers. "Hey, it's ok. You're safe now, Y/n."

I gaze into Hunter's eyes. My vision begins to blur as fresh tears form along the edges of my eyes, and my bottom lip quivers harshly. With a loud sob, I jump into Hunter's arms and cry. I pour my heart out, both relieved and terrified by what just happened.

Hunter holds me in his arms and rubs comforting circles into my back. "Everything's going to be ok. I promise."

"He's... He's still out there!" I sob. "What if he comes back? We have Biology together."

"Don't worry. I'll make sure he doesn't do anything to you again," Hunter reassures me. "That scumbag will have to think twice before messing with you again."

"I love you, Hunter," I tell him. "I love you so much."

Hunter kisses my head. "I love you too. I'll always be here to protect you."

"Thank you." I snuggle into his chest, carefully listening for his heartbeat. It feels soothing.

Hunter continues to hold me for a little while before helping me up. "Do you want to go watch a movie at home? I can snuggle with you, if it'll help you feel better."

I smile, wiping away my tears. "Yeah. A movie sounds good right now."

Hand in hand, Hunter and I walk home together, while keeping an eye out for Kyle in the process.

I love Hunter so much. He's like a guardian angel.

My protector.
