Chapter 9
When I got home the security cameras were up and running, my parents had been surprisingly fast. I could see the camera recordings on all devices and even on the TV, so I linked them to my computer so I could see all the videos in real time. There was only one camera that interested me the most and that was the one that pointed towards the front door.
My parents were making dinner and had told me to relax, but after twenty minutes I was still sitting in the same position watching my computer. I wanted to go to the cafeteria and buy a cake but it was already dark and I was afraid that something would happen to me if I leave the house. I rested my elbow on the table while I stared at the videos, the cars came and went on the road and that was the only thing that happened. Nothing else.
"I must be freaking out," I whispered under my breath and slammed my computer shut.
I had lived in that neighborhood all my life and I knew all my neighbors perfectly, I had never b

I felt very calm after our family meeting, my parents told me that everything was going to be fine and that was just what I needed to hear. I went up to my room with restored spirits and focused on the day ahead. I put on a red tank top that made me look slimmer, black pants, a black jacket and matching boots, I even struggled a bit with makeup, but the hard part was brushing my hair because I hated having to untangle it. With the pain in my soul I grabbed the comb and began to brush it while looking at my reflection.When I was in high school I had long hair, but keeping it that way involved a lot of problems so I got fed up and one day before going to college I showed Paola a magazine and gave her scissors to cut my hair. It was not a good idea because, she didn't cut it like the girl in the magazine but anyway I loved my new style and since then I have always kept my hair short. Never in my life did I like to comb my hair and that day I was doing it out of love for Isaac,

My parents started the entire lawsuit process against Fernando and he had no choice but to get a lawyer, we did not speak to each other again at the university and I enjoyed a lot of peace and tranquility for the following weeks since the mysterious man had disappeared without leave a trace. I no longer received strange calls, or notes, or roses and they did not follow me either, the security cameras worked twenty-four hours a day and in all that time they did not record any suspicious person. It was not a coincidence, it was obvious that Fernando was scared by the lawsuit and that is why he had stopped bothering me, everything was quite clear to me. I was very anxious to go to court because I wanted to see his castle of lies fall little by little. Every morning I checked my calendar to cross out the days, all I wanted was to end it all.While I was waiting for the big day Isaac came to my house to ask for my hand, he was very worried but without reason because things could n

“You look very tired. Did you sleep well last night?” Paola asked me with concern."Not really," I admitted.I looked at myself in a small mirror and saw that the skin under my eyes was black.“You have been very quiet and you are not like that. Something wrong?”I sighed and turned to look, I could see Isaac in the distance, he stood out among the others because of his formidable body and he was buying us something to eat while we waited for him at one of the most distant tables of the restaurant."Does it have to do with the meeting you had yesterday?" She continued."Fernando is not the culprit," I admitted suddenly.Paola frowned.“Did you find out who he is?”“That I would like to know, but I don't know.”I grabbed my phone and showed her the message I had received.“They sent it to me just at the time Fernando was signing the agreement.&rdquo

My little brain could barely focus on what the teacher was saying, I tried to write down every now and then but couldn't finalize any ideas, Isaac was sitting next to me and he seemed to be very calm, quite the opposite of me. Paola insisted that I not trust him, but I told her that she was wrong and that I firmly believed his loyalty, in the end we could not agree and we both agreed to hide everything we had talked about. I didn't want to eat anything during the break because I had no appetite so I stayed in my seat while all my companions left the happy section of life, except Isaac who decided to stay with me.“You want to tell me what's wrong? He asked impatiently.”I was very surprised.“What do you mean?”“You are very thoughtful. Does it have to do with Fernando?”“Of course not.”“So?”I hesitated for a moment and decided that it was impossible for me to distrust him

I knew we were going to argue at the university and I had prepared myself for it. Isaac was alone under an oak tree and was admiring the landscape of the university when I arrived. I approached with slow steps thinking that he had not seen me, but I was wrong.“How was your date? He asked cheekily as he looked in my direction. There was something about his gaze that seemed very strange to me, but I couldn't identify what it was.”"I didn't have an appointment.”“The atmosphere looked very romantic so let's call things by their names.”“Don't say stupid things, his sister was with us.”"She must be very interested in matching them up," he scoffed.“What do you have against him?”“In case you don't remember, you are being stalked by a maniac who is loose somewhere and you have no idea who he is. It could be your little doctor, you shouldn't trust him so much.”&ldq

The little birds sang and flew freely from one place to another and transmitted a certain level of tranquility to me, however, my mind did not take long to return to the same thing again and again, Isaac did not come to class and I still did not decide to go look for him or no, it was very possible that he refused to talk to me. There was a couple of doves on the branch of an oak and it was too cute for me to see them close together and with their eyes closed. A part of me didn't want to leave the house, but I knew perfectly well that being in college was distracting me a bit so it was the best for my sanity.“Have you checked your Facebook wall? Paola asked as she looked at her phone.”We were both standing next to a row of trees waiting for a taxi to leave the university, classes were over and we had the rest of the day off which meant nothing to me. I was a bit surprised by her question because she knew that checking social media was the last of my worri

When I woke up the next day, everything that happened seemed unreal. I did not go to the university because I never thought to return, I could never feel at ease knowing that he was with me in the same section. Before all this chaos started the only important thing for me was to finish my degree and now I didn't care in the least. Isaac kept calling me but I didn't even go to my phone, I felt too hurt and one part of me had many things to reproach him while the other preferred not to know anything more about him.My parents had a very important appointment in court that they couldn't cancel so they left me alone and I preferred it that way because I needed silence. The sky was very cloudy and as expected it started to rain, I was wearing black pants and a long-sleeved black blouse that covered me up to the wrists, my hair was loose and I put on comfortable shoes.I sat at my desk and watched the raindrops through the window as I lost myself in thought. I felt very depr

I fell on the roof that divided the two floors, but it was very slippery and I did not have time to hold on so I fell crashing to the garden floor. My back took the full impact of the fall and a stab of pain ran up and down my spine, inevitably making me scream. The pain was unbearable, I had never felt something so intense in my entire life. It all happened in a matter of seconds and in a way it seemed like a dream, but my suffering confirmed that it was very real. I wanted to run to safety, but I was not able to stand up, I did not even know what was happening to me. I crawled to the side and couldn't keep moving anymore because my body didn't respond to me, my face was up so I tried to concentrate on breathing while looking at the ceiling.“Kim!” Ezra was calling me from upstairs but he couldn't see me because the ceiling prevented him. I kept quiet and stopped making noise, however he stopped calling me and I knew he was going to come down to find me, th
