Chapter 1: My own personal stalker?!

Looking over the edge of the railing, I feel my breath hitch in my throat as my body shook with nerves and an odd sense of excitement. It didn't take much to notice that you couldn't see the road from up here.

Closing my eyes and doing my best to calm the shakiness of my hands, I try and quiet my pulse racing in my ears. "You said you would do it tonight Rin. You decided tonight was the night." My eyes slowly opened, trying desperately to cling to the minuscule amount of light in the almost pitch-blackness of the night.

Trying to find the edge of the bridge, I slowly feel the end give way to the empty air below it, the toes of my shoe teetering against the concrete. Taking a deep breath, I slowly and methodically bring my other leg to join the one already on the edge.

"Not so bad" I say, a bit shaky. "They say you don't even feel the bottom. No pain. Nothing to worry about." I assure myself.

I rest my butt on the railing and feel my right foot inch it's way off the concrete, into the air below it. I wiggle my foot and let out a soft giggle as I bring it back.

I take one last breath and stand up, keeping my hands on the railing behind me, inching both my feet to the very edge; teetering. I close my eyes and take a long deep breath. My face has a slight flush to it from the cold air, but I don't feel it. I'm too focused on what I'm about to do to notice anything really, except the pounding of my heartbeat in my ears.

Years of torment, pain and sadness were about to come to an end. Shouldn't I be happy? Well in a way I was; but it wasn't happiness I was feeling right now. It was sort of a relaxed feeling washing over me, knowing everything would be over soon. I look out in front of me and up towards the night sky.

So beautiful, all the stars twinkling brightly. Ironic in it's own way. My birthday along with my life would end on such a beautiful night. I felt a small smile play at my lips as I closed my eyes.

Releasing the breath I had been holding in, I let go of the railing, standing up on the edge. I took my final breath, put my arms out towards my side and stepped off…

"NOO!" I heard someone behind me scream as I felt strong arms pull me back up and over the railing before I fell. A warm, rather squishy mass held me against it, my body being crushed against whatever it was with a very impressive force. Enough to keep me trapped there, despite my protests.

Feeling the large, warm mass trembling in only the way a human body can, that's when it dawned on me. Holy crap, it's a person!

'Damn it! Why did they stop me? Why? What possible reason could this person have for stopping me?! I can't believe they would interfere like this!' My inner monologue was cut short as another question popped into my head. Wait….who is this person? From the feeling of the chest pressed against my back, I determined it was a guy. I looked down at the arms around my waist and studied them for a second. Yep. Definitely a guy.

I tried one more time to break the grasp they had on me, but their grip only tightened, cutting my efforts short. Noticing the motion of the person holding me, I can only assume they were crying. I stilled my breathing and listened, the soft sobs finally floating down to my ears. Definitely crying. I looked down and saw the amount of pressure they were exerting just by holding me there, was turning their knuckles white.

"Ummmm…...you can let go of me now." I said timidly. I felt them tighten their arms around my waist, if that was even possible at this point, and shake their head against my back. "Oh hell no. I'm not letting you go. Not until I know you're never going to do that again!"

I did my best to make out the words they were saying, but the fabric of my shirt made it harder than it should have been, although the sorrow in their voice was evident, despite his words not being the clearest. I can only assume they said they weren't going to let me go until they knew I was safe.

I sighed. "If I promise not to jump, and go straight home after this, will you let go of me?" I asked; hoping he would say yes. I could hear the uncertainty in his voice as he responded

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" He asked, tensing up as the words left his mouth

"How about if I pinky promise?" I asked, holding up my right pinky finger. Silence.

"You're….you're kidding right? What the hell kind of reassurance is that?!" I suppressed a laugh. "The kind you can hang your hat on." I said, hoping he would buy it.

"No. I have a better idea. Which pocket is your phone in?" He asked.

I hesitated, not liking where this was going. "My left butt pocket." I said. "Why?"

"Take it out and give it to me." He said and held open his left hand in front of me. I hesitated again. "Why?" "Because that's my condition on letting you go. Now either you can get it or I can. You pick."

I heard the smirk in his voice as I blushed at the thought of a strange man groping my ass. I moved my arm around as best I could, grabbed my phone, and put it in his waiting hand.

"That's a good girl. Now wait a second." I felt him move his right arm all the way around my waist, holding me securely in place while he brought his left arm back to do something. It took him about 2 minutes before he handed me my phone back. I happily took it back and put it in my front pocket this time.

"What did you do?" I asked curiously. "That's for me to know and you not to find out." He said, chuckling.

He turned me towards the direction of my house and let go of my waist. I sighed and straightened my shirt before turning around to face him.

He wasn't as big as I thought he was. Maybe 6 inches taller than me. He seemed muscular, but from what he was wearing, I couldn't tell. Black shoes, black jeans, and a black hoodie sweatshirt with the sleeves rolled up and the hood pulled over his head so I couldn't see his hair.

In fact the only thing I could see were his eyes. He had some kind of cloth mask pulled up over the rest of his face, but the minute I saw his eyes, I couldn't think.

They were absolutely beautiful. They were a deep shade of blue, but they were clear. Like the Heart of the Ocean from Titanic, they sparkled with a depth to them I didn't think possible in humans. They sparkled in the light from the street lamp above his head, causing an even more mesmerizing effect on me. I could stare at his eyes for days and not get tired of them.

It took me a second to realize I was staring and he was staring back, which made me blush. I quickly shook my head and gave him a small bow. "Arigato. I'll be heading home now." I said, lifting my head. He just stared at me, making my blush get deeper as I turned and walked towards my house.

The walk took me about 20 minutes and as I stared at my house, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I didn't want to come back here. I sighed and slowly walked up the porch to the door. I hesitated before reaching my hand out and slowly opening turning the faded knob. The worn hinges squeaked ever so slightly with protest. We really should put some oil on these things.

I peeked in the entryway and listened for any sign of people. I could hear the t.v. in the living room, so I closed the door as quietly as I could and tip-toed my way to the stairs. As I stepped on the first step, it betrayed me with a creak under my weight. 'Why did I always forget about that one?!' I scolded myself internally.

"Rin?" I heard my mother call from the living room. I sighed before answering her with a reluctant and soft "Yeah"

"Come in here sweety. I have something for you." I made my way into the living room and saw my mother sitting on the small couch in front of the television. I walked over to the chair to the right of the couch and sat down, my mother smiling at me.

Her light golden-yellow hair was glowing softly in the light from the television. I couldn't help but smile at the woman in front of me. She loved me more than anything and it was evident with the look in her eyes. "Happy Birthday sweetheart. I can't believe you're 17 already! You're making your poor mother feel so old."

She spoke with a slight chuckle at the end as I rolled my eyes playfully, in response to her comment. "Oh please mom. You still get carded at the store. No one even believes I'm your daughter, they all think we're sisters." I said, giving her a loving smile.

My mother did not look her age. She barely looked old enough to drink legally, let alone be the mother of a 17 year-old. And it's not because she's had work done. She's just naturally youthful. She's also one of the most gorgeous women I have even seen, but she's humble and kind which makes her very caring.

"Rin, I have a present for you." She said, breaking into my slight reverie.

I sighed as I saw her produce a small box from beside her and hand it to me. "Mom I told you I didn't want anything." I said, looking up at her.

"Nonsense! It's your birthday and I refuse to let my baby go without a present. Now open it." She said, smiling.

I chuckled and began to carefully unwrap the paper from the box and open it. Inside, nestled on a silk cushion was a delicate heart shaped pendant. Inside the center of the heart was a citrine with little crystals circling around it. "Oh mom, it's beautiful." I said happily.

"That's not all. It's a locket. Open it." she said, a calm smile resting on her face. I turned it over and unclasped the fastener to reveal the two picture slots inside, one of which was taken up by a small picture of a woman, child, and man holding hands, smiling at the camera happily. My eyes widened as I recognized the people in the picture as myself, my mother, and my father.

I didn't have many memories or pictures of my dad. He died in some kind of accident when I was 6, but after my mom got married the second time to my step-father, Ted, I never saw the pictures again, except the ones I managed to sneak into my room. He refused to have pictures of my mom's ex-husband "laying around".

I could feel my shocked expression turn into one of pure happiness, as tears of joy rolled down my cheeks.

I looked up at my mother as she smiled kindly and opened her arms up for me. I walked over to her and hugged her tightly as I sat down and cried on her shoulder. "Thank you so much mom. I love it!" I said, unable to say anything else.

The gift had left me almost speechless. I felt her rub my hair and smile. "I know you've been having a hard time lately. What with getting along with Lily and Ted, and things at school. So, I wanted to do something for my special girl." She smiled at me.

"Rin, I know you don't like to worry me, but please talk to me if you have a problem. I hate seeing you shoulder everything on yourself. I want to help you." My mother said, the raw concern and worry for her daughter, pleading with me in her gaze, as she looked at me.

"Okay mom. I promise I'll start talking to you more often." I said, watching her face crinkle as she smiled and pulled me into a hug. I smiled and hugged back, smelling her hair. It always calmed me down, her scent.

I smiled to myself at the memories of me as a child, sneaking into my parents bedroom to steal one of their pillows and burying my nose deep in the fabric, in order to fall asleep. My mom was oranges and vanilla and because of my dad's job, he smelt of peppermint and toffee. That's one of the only memories I have left of my dad. What he smelled like.

As my mom let me go, I felt like someone was watching me.

I looked around and almost froze as I saw my step-father and step-sister standing in the doorway.

Ted, had married my mother, some 3 years after my dad passed. Lily was his daughter from another marriage. He looked at me and my blood ran cold.

He gave me "that" look. I knew all too well what that look meant and I shuddered at the thought of what was to come later tonight. "Neru, Rin." Ted made his way over and kissed my mother's cheek, looking over at me.

"I see you started celebrating the birthday girl's party without us. Shame on you Neru." He said, with a laugh. "Mind if I sit between you two?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

I quickly scooted over and gave him plenty of room on the couch between me and him, but he somehow still managed to sit close enough to rest his hand on my knee. As Lily came over, not even saying so much as a hello and sitting down on the chair, Ted turned his gaze on me and asked a little too sweetly,"So Rin. What movie do you want to watch? It is your birthday after all."

His words caused shivers to run up my spine, the look in his eyes reinforcing the ice he made course through my veins. Maybe because on the last word, he squeezed my knee. "Ummmmm…..I'm not sure. I don't care really. Whatever you guys want to watch. Lily, why don't you pick?" I asked, tossing her the remote.

"Sweet. Thanks Rin." She said, smiling nicely at me. "Oh and Happy Birthday. I'll give you your present later, mmkay?" She said, looking at me.

I just gave her a quick smile and nod. As she and my mother turned their attention to the Netflix screen on the t.v. I felt Ted lean over and whisper "And I'll give you my present much later. After these two go to sleep. And you better be quiet this time. You almost woke up your mother last time."

He slowly moved his hand up my leg and along my thigh as he spoke. "Are we understood?" He asked, his hand dangerously close to the opening of my shorts.

I just nodded and hoped he would stop touching me. I could hear him smirk. "Good. Now why don't you get us a blanket?" He asked, still whispering. I looked at him in shocked horror and mouthed the words "Now?"

He just stared at me and nodded curtly. I gulped and began to grab the throw blanket off the back of the couch. "Who wants popcorn and something to drink?" my mother asked. "I do" I said, trying to stop my voice from shaking.

I got up hastily, watching Ted's eyes harden. "I'll get it" I said as I walked from the living room into the kitchen. I sighed and braced my hands against the counter to steady myself and stop my entire body from shaking. "I'll go help her" I heard Ted say from the other room as my eyes widened and I started to shake again.

I started to get the popcorn to keep myself from thinking about what's going to happen. As I closed the cabinet door, I felt a pair of eyes bore into my back. I went over to the microwave and put the bag inside and shut the door, setting the cook time.

I turned around to see Ted leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His eyes set in an angry expression. As soon as I met his gaze, he walked over to me and grabbed my arm, almost making me yell with the grip of his hand tightening on me. I winced as he came closer to my face. "What the fuck was that? You know, I was thinking of being gentle with you later, but you can forget about it. You know what our deal is. You wouldn't want anything happening to dear old mother, now would you?"

He hissed in my ear as I shook my head fast. "No sir. I'll behave" I said timidly.

I winced as the grip on my arm tightened ever more and he pulled me closer to him. "Good. No more funny business now." He said as he ran his tongue from my ear down my jaw line to my mouth, forcing a rough kiss on me. His tongue snaking its way into every crevice of my mouth. I just went limp and let him do what he wanted. It was useless to fight him off, the shooting pain in my arm evident of how much stronger he was than me.

As his free hand started to make its way up my shorts again, I heard the microwave beep. He growled and let go, backing away from me. But before he let go of my arm, he leaned in and whispered, "Now we're gonna have some fun when you get back in there." He licked my ear and finally let go, making his way back to the living room.

After I made sure he was out of eyesight, I collapsed on the floor and started shaking violently. I wrapped my arms around my knees and pulled them towards my chest, hugging myself tightly, letting a few tears fall.

As I started rocking back and forth slightly, I felt my phone vibrate. I wiped my tears and grabbed my phone out of my pocket, checking the caller i.d.

Unknown Number: Text Message

Hmm. That's strange. I flipped open the phone and checked the message, sniffling. A few tears rolled down my chin and landed on my hand, one landing on the screen and I read the message.

To: Rin Akita

From: Unknown

What the hell? Are you okay? :(

To: Unknown

From: Rin Akita

I don't know what you're talking about. Who is this? How'd you get my number?

To: Rin Akita

From: Unknown

I told you I would make sure you got home. But seriously?! Who the fuck is that guy and why is he doing that to you? :( You need a hug.

To: Unknown

From: Rin Akita

Okay, first off, thanks again for saving me I guess, but this is a bit much. And second, how do you know what's going on in my house?! Are you stalking me?! O_o

To: Rin Akita

From: Unknown

I told you, it's my way of making sure you actually went home Rin. I needed to be sure. But just go to your front door and my birthday present is there for you. Happy Birthday Rin. Please stay safe for me.

To: Unknown

From: Rin Akita

Okay Mr. stalker-man, but why do you care if I'm safe….

To: Rin Akita

From: Unknown

Why else? Because you're important to me and I care about you. Now go get your birthday present.

I shut the phone after the last text message. Great. So now I have to worry about Ted and a stalker guy who knows where I live, not to mention what's going on in my house. I sigh and got up off the floor. I grab the bowl of popcorn along with the drinks for everyone and walk into the living room.

~Time Skip~

"Alright who's ready for dinner?" My mom asks after the movie ends.

I was still just barely aware of what was going on after Ted had his "fun" with me. Something I became incredibly good at was going into myself and blocking out everything that happens.

"Rin?" I hear my name being called. I looked up at my mother who smiled at me. "I made your favorite." She beamed and I perked up a little.

"Thanks mom." I say, smiling at her. "Well then, let's retire to the dining room table, shall we?"

We all nod and get up, making our way to the table. I sat at the head of the table, while Ted sat at the other end, Lily sat on my right and my mother would sit on the left. As she went about the kitchen, getting dinner ready, Lily lightly tapped me on the arm. I looked at her and smiled "Yeah?" I asked.

She reached under her chair and pulled out a small bag and handed it to me. "Here ya go Rin. Happy Birthday." She said smiling at me. I smiled back before looking inside the bright orange bag with colorful tissue paper sticking out of the top.

My eyes lit up as I began pulling out the presents. Orange scented body lotion, my favorite orange-scented shampoo and conditioner, orange lip gloss, orange scented pens and pencils and some other orange themed items. But my favorite was a big orange plushy that had little arms and legs with a cute anime face on it.

I held it to my face and smiled, nuzzling it against my skin. " This is so kawaii! Thanks so much Lily." I said, leaning over and giving her a hug.

"Glad you like it" she chuckled and smiled at me.

"Now it's my turn" Ted said. My smile wavered slightly but not enough for them to notice. "Oh you didn't have to get me anything. Really. I'm perfectly happy with mom's homemade cooking. You guys really shouldn't have." I said, faking a huge smile.

"Nonsense. No step-daughter of mine is going to celebrate her birthday without presents." He said, giving me a steely look and a fake smile. He got up , walked out of the room and went upstairs to get something.

He came back down a few minutes later carrying a medium sized rectangular box. I couldn't really tell what it was, but now I was genuinely curious. "Happy birthday Rin." He said, placing the box in front of me on the table and placing a small kiss on my forehead, sending shivers down my spine. I put on another fake smile and began opening the box.

I got the wrapping off and opened the top of it to reveal it was stuffed with packing peanuts. I started carefully digging through them as my hand came across a pair of headphones. They were the ones that cover your entire ear and go over your head. They were still in their packaging.

I set them down and found a few other things in the box. Some ac adaptor cords, a power cord, but I couldn't find anything else. As I reached my hand towards the bottom of the box, my skin found something sleek. I moved my hand to pick it up and my eyes widened.

I lifted the brand new laptop out of the box, wiping the packing peanuts off of it and just stared at it for a minute. "...wow…" That was all I could say. I looked up at Ted to see him smirking. "I...I...I really don't know what to say. Thank you Ted." He shrugged and nodded. "Dinner is served." mom said, coming out with plates of my favorite food, her homemade orange chicken.

After finishing my third plate of orange chicken and my second piece of orange bundt cake, excusing myself to use the restroom, I was finally stepping out of the shower. I just had used the shampoo and conditioner Lily got me. Not to mention I needed to get the feeling of Ted's skin against mine. The warm water helped relax the tense muscles in my back. The smell of orange blossoms and citrus wafted through the bathroom, helping keep my nerves calm.

I stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in my towel, heading to my room, when I heard my mom's room's door open. I turned to see Ted staring at me from the doorway, looking me up and down, a cold edge to his gaze. It made me shiver. "1 hour" he mouthed the words and shut the door.

I started shaking as I made my way to my room and closed the door. I turned and saw a package and a note laying on my bed. I walked over, sat down and read the note.

Rin,

You're going to start wearing this when we have our little affairs. No exceptions.

-Ted

I shuddered to think what was inside.

I sat the note down and moved my attention to the package. I picked it up and sat it on my lap as I unwrapped it. I laid the paper covering the material, aside and took each of the three pieces out individually, examining them.

There was a sheer cover, a light and cheery yellow color, with black lace around the edges. My thumb and index finger moved the fabric between the two of them, enjoying how it felt against my skin for a moment. In any other context, she might actually want something like this. Moving to the next pieces, I gulped as I pulled out the matching bra and panty set. I shuddered to think he knew my sizes for things like this, but it doesn't surprise me in the least, especially after everything.

I slowly toweled off my body and hair and got dressed in his "present". I was still surprised and slightly horrified that it fit me like a glove. I sat back on my bed and looked at my clock. 45 minutes to go.

Sighing, my eyes started wandering around my room, resting on a new edition to my room that was now resting on my vanity. I remember opening the door like the stalker had said, half expecting nothing and half terrified at what I might actually find.

Laying on the doorstep was a wrapped parcel. I picked it up, immediately knowing what it was, just by the weight. I ran my hand over the soft fabric covering it, before moving it and looking at the cover. It was a first edition, leather bound version of my favorite book. On top of the black leather cover, was a note.

For the cutest bookworm I know. Happy Birthday

There was no name, but the note was written very neatly. I hugged the book to my chest and snuck it up to my room along with the other gifts. A gentle smile played at my lips as I looked at it. The gold inlaid lettering and embroidered spine must have cost quite a lot.

I began to wonder who my "mystery stalker" could be. Before too long, I heard a short knock on my door. About a second later, I saw Ted come in and close the door behind him. He looked at me and a cold smile crossed his lips. I braced myself for what he would do next as I retreated into myself
