CHAPTER 2

Coralline's pov

It was no other person than Sophie Turner, a friend of mine. She was my neighbour but she moved out last year.

She never liked Vivian nor John and always warned me to beware of them but I never listened because I was madly in love with John and Vivian was my best friend.

'Hey' she said bringing me out of my reverie. 'Did you hear all I've said? 'she asked

'Have you been stalking me?' I asked

'what do you mean?' she said

'How do you know about everything that has happened between I Vivian and John?' I asked

'Well I was just passing through the neighborhood when I saw you running out of your house in tears so I figured you would have found out about everything'

'So you have known for long and you didn't even bother to tell me?'

'I tried remember, I told you to beware of them but you didn't listen' she said

'I know but at least you should have tried to convince me more maybe I wouldn't be this heartbroken' I said sobbing loudly

'Hey shhh, crying won't solve anything. Come on, let's go so you won't catch a cold' she consoled.

I obliged and she boarded a taxi to her house. She lived in a well furnished three bedroom flat. She led me to the guest room and gave me a dried hoodie and sweat pants to wear.

After showering and dressing up, I went to the dining room and met her eating, she served me also, I ate the food in haste because I was quite hungry.

When we were done, we gisted a little and I found out the reason she packed out in the first place was because John threatened her when he found out she knew about his affairs she also told me she used to see John and Vivian in the hotel she worked before as a janitor. I was really angry, how could he? Under my very nose.

Sophie owns her own café now, that's where she got the money for this apartment. At least one of us had her own life figured out. We kept on talking till I slept off.

The next morning, I woke up still in the living room, Sophie was awake already. She was dressed for work. She told me I could stay in her apartment until I find a place to stay. I was glad and I thanked her.

She gave me some of her outfits to wear since her clothes could size me so I wore it to work.

It's evening now and I decided to call it a day. I wanted to go to my former apartment to pack my belongings. I have been waiting for about thirty minutes now and I still couldn't find a taxi so I decided to trek since my work place isn't far from the apartment.

As I kept walking I had a feeling that someone was following me. I looked back and I saw a guy with a black hoodie, fear gripped me and I started walking very fast. I decided to pass through an alley because it is a short cut and I will be able to lose my stalker.

I didn't watch where I was going so I bumped into someone, I looked back and found out it was the stalker. I screamed and I wanted to run always but he was fast and he dragged me back and said

'Charlotte, I've finally found you'
