I opened the enelope and read the letter.
“I’m sorry I left you this way, but it was the only way. I didn’t wast out and never did. I would always do and phe anything to be with you both, en na, that is not the reason I left. I love you, Aleck; I have since I was eighteen and we stopped. When you said you loved me and I realized we could be together, I was so happy, the happiest I have ever been, but they won’t stop. This was the only way to protect you and Dram. This isn’t shout me; it’s about the two of you. I can’t be selfish and watch everything you have he destroyed, and with what they had, it would have ruined you. Please don’t da anything crazy and take care of Dean Don’t look for me, please. Fll be fine, I promise. I’ll be safe. You and Dean will be safe. We won’t be happy, but at least we’ll be alive and safe. I won’t ever come back. I’m sorry. I love you, Alrd Goodbye.”
I couldn’t contral my anger; I tossed the sphere into the wall. “That fucker scared her so badly that she can. I don’t… Dean… I can’t do this without her.”

“I don’t know. She said not to look for her. I’ll have Diego look quietly. I’m going back to the other apartment; I can’t be in this house without her,” I said, looking at him.
“I’ll ask Hilda to pack up. Aleck, can we not tell the others about this? I mean, y exactly she left? Can we just say that she said she didn’t want to be with us anymore and leave it at that? M this point, I don’t want to trust anyone huids you,” he said, looking at me.
“Okay,” I said, understanding what he meant
“Fuck, what do we tell Mom and Dad?” I asked him.
“We’ll visit them in persen and tell them everything,” he said.
By two that afternoon, Mallory, Andrew, Chris, and Nella were back, and we told them she was gone. They wanted to know what happened, but we stuck to the same thing: She wanted out; she didn’t want to be with us anymore.
Mallory tried calling her, and we heard the phone ringing in the living room. I hopeful for a second until I saw Hilda walking towards us with the phone in her hand. I took it from her and checked in. It was a new phone. I checked the falls and saw she received to calls from a pusate number; it had to be the fucker that was stalking her. I just turned it off and pocketed it.
“Even if she doesn’t want to be in a relationship with you guys, why would these her phone? Why didn’t she tell us, tell me anything?” Malloy asked
“At this point, I don’t know, Mal. We have forced her to do anything she met wanted to do, not back then and not now.

“Hey, fuckface, if you really want me to disappear, then you need to help me. The place is covered in cameras, and there are security details all over. How am I supposed to leave without anyone seeing?”
My phone started ringing in my hands, and I saw it was a private number; this really was watching. I answered.
STALKER: You learn very quickly. You will have a very short period to trave. The cameras will be taken care of Leave the phone and laptop. Don’t ever show up agole. If you do, I will kill you.
