I'm bored eating in the kitchen when my mom comes in. "Could you grab a few groceries for me?" Knowing my mom, she's really just telling me too.

"Of course!" I say, happy to finally be doing something.

She hands me a list of everything we need and then hugs me. "Thank you!"

I grab my phone and wallet and walk to the garage. I get into my car and start the engine. On my way to the store, I noticed a car following me.

I take several random turns and realize that car is following me! I continue making turns and try to lose the red car. I glance at my rearview mirror and see the vehicle is still behind me. My heartbeat begins to quicken.

I grab my phone and ask Siri, "Call Boyfriend ❤️"

"What's up, girlfriend?" Ashton asks. I feel my heart rate slow down, and I breathe.

I fight back a smile and say seriously, "I think someone is following me."

"Where are you?" Ashton asks, concerned.

"I was supposed to head to Target to buy groceries... But now, I don't know what to do." I say.

"Are you wearing the necklace I gave you?" Ashton asks.

"Really? You're worried about that..." I say, rolling my eyes.

"Don't be mad," Ashton says.

"What did you do?" I ask.

"There's a tracker on your necklace. It was only for Evanescent purposes, I swear!" He confesses.

"You're not as creepy as you think you are. I might have put a tracker on the watch I gave you." I mumble.

"And here I thought you cared about me," Ashton says.

"I do!" I say loudly. "I mean, it was for Evanescent purposes... I just didn't want anything bad happening to you." I say quietly.

"And nothing will," Ashton says softly. "Are you still being followed?"

I glance at my mirror and see no one trailing behind me. "Lynn? Are you still there?" Ashton asks

"There's no one following me," I say. "Maybe I am being paranoid..."

"Understandable. Do you want me to meet you at Target?" Ashton asks, trying to ease my mind.

"That's okay. I won't be too long." I say, driving into the Target parking lot. I enter the building and take out the grocery list.

This seems easy enough. I grab a cart and start looking for the products. 30 minutes later, I finally head to the register. After I pay, I carry the grocery bags to the car.

I open the trunk and start loading the bags in. I close the trunk and realize a red car is parked beside me. The windows are tinted, so I can't see who's inside, and I begin to panic when the door opens. I see it's just Mila and sigh with relief.

"Hey, Adalynn!" She says, smirking. "Funny seeing you here."

"I was just buying groceries for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner," I say.

She walks toward me and frowns. "Aww, that's a shame..."

"What is?" I ask, slowly inching towards the driver's side.

"You won't be with your family tomorrow..." She says, reaching for my neck. I gasp and see her trying to insert a needle into my neck.

I punch her face, and she stumbles back. "Fucking bitch." I mutter, trying to get into my car. Mila stops me from closing my car door, and I kick her side.

Another person opens the passenger car door and shoves me towards Mila. She wraps her hand around my neck and quickly inserts the needle.

I grab the knife I keep at the bottom of my shoe and stab her arm. "You motherfucker!" She screams with wide eyes.

My vision starts to blur, and I begin to feel woozy. The other person from before picks me up from my seat, and I try to click the panic button on my key.

"I don't think so." Mila grunts, grabbing my keys. "Nighty night bitch." I hear her whisper before blacking out.
