Chapter 3

I saw Bryce standing by my.
locker door.

"Bryce what are you doing?" I asked him.

"I came to make sure you're alright," he told me.

He hugged me and grabbed my hand. I interwoven our fingers and we walked to my first class.

Once we arrived he let go over my hand.

"I'm going to find you during lunch," he said after kissing my forehead.

I walked into first period and sat at my desk. I felt my phone vibrate and ignored it. Our teacher started the lesson and I felt my phone vibrate a few more times. I slowly raised my hand.

"Yes, Claire," the teacher said.

"May I be excused?" I asked.

"Yes, please take the hall pass," he said while pointing to the door.

I stood up, grabbed my bags and walked to the door. Before I left I grabbed the hall pass and walked out of the class room. I walked to the bathroom, because that's the only place without teachers.

I walked into the bathrrom, and checked all the stalls. No one was in there so I took out my phone to see why it was vibrating. I saw an anonymous number texted me.

*Via Text Message*

Unknown: Did you really think you could block me?

Unknown: Claire

Unkown: Bryce can't help help you forever

Unknown: I will find you tonight

*End of Via text message*

I screen shotted the texts and sent it to Bryce.

*Via Text Message*

Claire: *picture of messages* Hey can you explain this?

Bryce: Maybe it's Cole

Claire: Can you please stay the night again tonight?

Bryce: No, because my mom is out of town so I have to watch the house

Claire: Can I stay over there?

Bryce: Yes, I will make sure that you're safe

Claire: Thank you so much 😘

*End of Via text message*

I turned off my phone and walked back to class. I sat down in my spot as all the kids started at me.

"Can I help you?" I asked in a loud voice.

I didn't want people to think I was weak because of my past abusive relationships. I waved my hand so the teacher could know he could restart his lesson.

Once the bell rang, I walked to my locker to put away my things. I quickly dialed my code so I could avoid Cole at times. When I was done I quickly slammed my locker and walked to my next period.

I sat at my spot in my next class and the bell rang. I felt my phone vibrate as I got out my binder and pencils. I decided to ignore it and continue to listen to the lesson. I could fell it vibrate what felt like every two minutes.

In what felt like forever the bell finally rang. I sped walked to my locker so I could get to class. I opened my locker and a note fell out. I thought it came out of my binder from Spanish, so I just shoved it back in and walked to my class.

I walked into the Spanish classroom and sat in my spot. I pulled out my pencils and walked to the sharpener. The bell rung and I walked back to my seat. I opened my Spanish binder and saw the note. I slowly opened the note and it said:

*The note*

You really think that you can get rid of me that easy. I hope you know that he will NEVER love you like I did

*End of note*

I looked around the room only to see the other students focused on what Mrs. Skye was saying. I shoved the note into my pocket and I pulled out my Spanish words that they were reviewing.

I kept zoning out and worring about that stupid note. I ended up thinking this was going to be a threat, so I raised my hand.

"Yes, Claire," Mrs. Skye said.

"May I please go to the principals office?" I asked.

"Yes, but I need to know why," she said before I stood up.

I walekd up to her desk and she leaned near me.

"I have to talk to him about my past relationship," I whispered to her becasue I didn't know how to tell her that I was getting abused.

"What happened?" she asked concerned.

"Well Cole... he kind of... he abused me and now I think that he is going to hurt me worse if I don't fix it,'' I whispered back to her.

"Okay, you stay as long as you need," she said whil pointing to the door.

I walked out and walked to the principals office. Once I got to the main office I asked the secritarty if I could speak to Mr. Freeman. She nodded her head and pointed to his door. I walked towards it with a huge lump in my throat. I lightly knocked on the door when I heard a deep voice say, "come in." I slowly walked in and hesitantly sat at a seat.

"What do you need Claire?" he asked me.

"I have a problem that I need to get fixed as soon as possible," I said to him.

"What is that problem?' he aske once again.

"Umm, well I-I've been getting a-abused," I said and it felt like a million pounds has lifted off of my shoulders.

He gave me a cofused look and stood up. He walked to his door, stuck his head out, looked around and slowly closed it.

"Now tell me more," he said as he walked to his desk.

I pulled out the note and my phone. I heard the bell ring and I felt my phone vibrate. I out the note and my phone on Mr. Freeman's desk.

"What's this?" he asked loking at the note.

"I think that Cole is trying to scare me since I broke up with him," I said.

I showed him the text messages and noticed the new ones. The were saying that I should get back to the one who loved me and that he was going to find me and kill me in the middle of the night.

"Who do you think it is?" He asked me.

"I know that it's Cole," I told him.

"I'm sorry Claire, but we don't have enough information to confirm that it was Cole," he told me.

I tried to think of something that was more evidence until it came to my mind. I have...
