Chapter 9: My Stalker

Liam's POV

I was relaxing on my room, lying flat on my soft mattress when suddenly a loud bang and a swift move, there's this chipmunk's head resting on my chest.

I know it was her because no one does that aside from her, she's the only one who has courage to disturb me anytime.

"It's so peaceful." She mumbled while listening to my heartbeat. It's her favorite thing to do. Listening to my beating heart and leaning on my chest.

"I was at peace minutes ago. What do you want?" I asked making sure my voice sounds stern. Even if I'm not mad, it's just normal for us.

"This is my favorite spot. I just want to lay here beside you." She rubbed her palm on my clothed chest. I was used to her being this clingy. She's the same Poebe as the one when we are kids, we sometimes kill each other still but most of the time she's like a koala clinging on me.

"Just tell me what you need and leave me alone."

"I won't leave you if you won't accompany me." She lifted her head and faced me.

"Poebe, let me rest! You're disturbing me since this morning." I carefully pushed her out of my face. This best friend of mine is a monster when I hurt her first.

"Just come with me and I promise not to bother you for days."

"Woah! Is it a dream? I've been wishing for that to happen." I teased her and she pouted. I tried not to laugh because she looks like a duck right now.

"You're so mean. I hope your life become boring when I'm not around." She slapped my shoulder. Aish! This is the top one violent woman for me.

"My life will be the best without you." I teased her again and smirk. But what she did washed away the curve of my lips.

"I hate you! I hate you! I treated you as my closest since we are kids then you're telling me that you want me out of your life." She continuously slap my chest really hard while crying like a little girl.

"Aish! This chipmunk is a baby. Stop it now or else I'll send you out." I scare her but it doesn't work, she cried harder.

"I hate you. I hate you." Nothings gonna stop her than to say yes, there's no other way to stop her tantrums.

"Okay! Okay! Stop it now, I'm coming with you." Poebe looked at me and a smile formed on her lips.

Yeah, I got it already. It's a trap. She's doing it for me to say yes and I'm an idiot because I said yes.

"You can't take it back or else, I'll tell Uncle Dallas you went on a bar last week." She jumped out of the bed and ran outside my room.

"Be ready in five minutes. I'll just redo my makeup, you ruined it monkey!" She shouted before shutting the door.

I can't believe it, since we aged ten until now she can make me say yes with just her tantrums. That's very unlikely me. But Poebe brought it out from Liam Campbell.

"This is insane." I shook my head and changed into a black hoodie and black pants. It's my favorite, no one can stop me. I left my room and went to my car, I don't need a driver tonight so I'll drive Poebe to wherever it is she wanted to go.

"That's my Liam. Let's go!" She quickly went inside the shotgun seat and turned the radio on. I shook my head in my crazy best friend before I stepped on the gas.

We arrived at the convenience store and she went in, she wanted me to come but I'm not in the mood to get out. She understood that because she knew I have this crazy stalker who always follow me wherever I go. As I watched her having difficulty in choosing a box of pie or pack of cookies someone came near her and I guess she's trying to help her choose one. It's a girl and she's wearing a uniform of the store employee.

I look around and found the cashier on the counter.

"Oh, the witch is working here." I smirked and went out of the car. I didn't think twice to enter the store and walk towards her. When I passed by Poebe I heard her said something.

"Thank you but I can manage--oh Liam?"

"Hey witch! Did you enjoyed kicking my balls last time?" I asked and stopped in front of the shocked stalker. Her face is funny but I have no time to laugh.

"You!" She exclaimed with wide eyes. I almost laugh at her priceless expressions but I need to control myself. Why I want to laugh?

"Yes stalker? Oh, a stalker has a work other than stalking me?" I tilted my head while mocking her, it made her annoyed.

"I told you I'm not your stalker and you are a pervert!" She shouted back with a murderous glare. That's a little scary, she's small but those eyes can stab you right infront of her.

Am I affected? No way!

"You're a stalker! And I'm not a pervert, you pushed me to do it. You're killing a handsome boy, so I need to stop you."

"I don't need your explanation handsome boy--I mean, dream on pervert! Get out now!" She stopped midway before continuing her words with a blushing cheeks.

Aha! The witch called me handsome and she's cute when she's embarrassed. But I won't tell her, she needs to say sorry for stalking me and everything.

"No I won't go anywhere. I can call the owner and tell him you're rude to me." I challenged that made her froze in a blink of an eye.

"Go on and I'll tell him you're the one who broke the wine bottles before." I gritted my teeth. She knows about Lauren's stupidity. Aish! So, it's the store where she's banned? Actually, we are banned because we have the same facial features.

"You." I growled and she smirked thinking she won against me again. No way! I won't let her. I look around and found groups of people that made me smile deviously. Payback time witch!

"Everyone! Listen to me!" All of them turn their heads. Poebe frowned but stay still on the pastry shelves.

"This girl here, she's my stalker. I don't know if I'm the only victim of her but yeah that's the truth. She looks angelic but she's a witch! She choked me and kicked my balls too. Imagine that? She wants me dead! This stalker of mine is seriously insane. Beware of her, I'm telling you. Run now or she'll kill you." I told them and moments later on only the four of us remained.

They ran like a scaredy cats.

"Excuse me, how dare you to accuse my friend like that?" The girl with my best friend asked while walking towards me.

She's the same size as my stalker and that same glare. Annoying!

"Chichi. I can handle this." I heard the witch's voice. The girl stopped walking but glared at me and she's ready to attack me anytime. I turned my head back to my crazy stalker.

"Are you happy now?" It was a deep voice without any emotions. She looked at me and I can't read her expressions, it was empty. Maybe her blood is boiling right now and her patience runs out.

"Are you done?" She asked again but this time, her eyes is burning with anger and it pierced me. I got shivers all over my body that I automatically gulped. I never felt this scared before.

"Then go now. You already humiliated me and make me look like a criminal to those group of people. That's enough to let me know how worthless I am." Her facial expressions became unreadable again. But her words are everything.

It hits me. I did something terrible. I messed up again.

"Jade. Is everything okay?" Someone spoke, she's standing near the door of the store warehouse.

"Yes Ms. Yvette. Actually our customer here is complimenting me as a good employee." She smiled sweetly to the girl named Yvette. Wow! Awhile ago she can ripped my head off with just her stare and now she's an innocent kid smiling like we didn't fight at all!

"Oh really? Jade is the nicest person I ever met. But stupid and worthless people can't see that and I'm pitying them. By the way, I hope you're having a good night Mister. Excuse me." Their boss eyed me from head to toe with her serious face before turning her back at us and enter the warehouse door.

"Do you heard what she said? She wanted you out of here. Go, or I myself make you leave." The other employee awhile ago intentionally bumped my shoulder and went on the counter fixing the items on the shelves like nothing happened.

I glanced at the witch before I pulled Poebe out of the store.

She wasn't looking at me, she was just staring at the distance with those sad eyes. I couldn't be affected!

"Let me have some sweets." When we settled on our seat I gestured her to gave me some of her cookies. This night is a bad night! I need to eat something.

"You're unbelievable Liam! You should leave first and let me buy those delicious cookies and pies instead dragging me here with you!" She whined and folded her arms.

I fell silent, I have no energy left to fight and start the engine instead. I drove home but Poebe wanted to stop by at the bakeshop near Dallas house. She's really hungry.

"So tell me, that's the furious mad woman you met before?" She asked while busy choosing again at the pastries.

"Yeah." I answered with no energy. I was drained and not in the mood from what happened earlier.

"You know, you hurt her ego so much. I can tell just by looking at her scary eyes. I wanted to pull you out or shut you up but I stayed muted. I don't want her to notice me, I'm so scared at her and you won't believe me, when she said 'are you happy now?' Geez! It gave me chills!" She rubbed her palms on her bare shoulders.

I believe you Poebe. I felt that too.

"Choose now and we'll go. I want to sleep already." I changed the topic because I don't want to remember it again and she deserved it for stalking me, choking me and kicking my dick! It fucking hurts that day, she almost killed my soon to be babies.

I turn my back at her and saw the same figure I always see in the crowd. I turn back to Poebe and pulled her closer to me.

"She's here. My stalker is here." I whispered and her eyes went wide.

"What? How? She's in the store right?" She is. But the eyes, those eyes were here.

"She's a stalker Poebe. We never know. But I have a plan." I told her. I think of this plan since the day I met that witch. I'll catch her to prove to my conscience that I am right. That I don't have to feel sympathy to her because first and foremost, she's my stalker!

I told her to keep my stalker in sight, while I took the back door of this bakeshop and corner that witch.

When I'm done negotiating with the manager, he let me pass the back door. I carefully walked past the entrance door without any sound and went towards the girl wearing a mask and a hoodie sitting not to far from where Chipmunk is, she's silently watching her, her act is very convincing.

But unfortunately, she doesn't have idea that I was just behind her.

"Liam! Come out fast. I want to go home now." She intentionally raise her voice for her to hear. My best friend is standing beside the closed bathroom door.

I calmly put my hand on the witch shoulder and whispered something in her ear.

"Come with me and everything will be fine." Her body stiffened before she turned her head to me.

"Don't make a scene here." I grabbed her wrist and dragged her outside the bakeshop. She tried to pull her arm back but nothing happened, I have a good grip. I pinned her to the wall and put my hand near her face.

"What do you want now? I know you're my stalker. Remove that and let me see your face."

She shook her head and stayed silent. She's stubborn and I'm running out of patience.

"Don't let me do something I don't want to. Remove that or I will." I firmly said and smacked the wall not to hard but enough to make her tremble in fear. Her hands slowly reached her mask and pulled it out revealing the face I've never expected.

"Y-you are m-my stalker?" I stepped back, stuttering my words. I can't believe my eyes.

How could it happened? All I know is she's--Fuck it!

"Yes."

How the hell it happened?
