Part 2 - The threats

I slowly opened my phone, Jamie waiting for me.
"I'm finding you tomorrow. I'm killing you tomorrow. Be scared."
I slowly closed my phone as I shook and walked to Jamie.
"What was that?" She smiled at me.
I stared away. "Nothing. Just, nothing." I stared out the car window while we went home.
We got home, I slipped my clammy fingers to opened the door.
"Night!" I said to Jamie. I stretched and looked in the mirror. Hideous.. I thought. I walked to the bathroom and started the tub. I pushed the plug in and stripped down.
Once the tub was filled, I turned off the water and laid down in it. It was so relaxing. The time flew by. I just sat there, not getting my hands wet, continuously checking my phone for more death threats.
Knock knock knock someone knocked on the door. I looked at myself, the water and realized I fell asleep. I checked my phone, quickly and only a half hour passed.
"I need the bathroom!" Jamie said from the outside.
"Sorry!" I called back. "I fell asleep!" I pulled the plug out of the tub and shivered as I got out. I grabbed the towel that was on the counter and wrapped myself up. I took my clothes and opened the door with my wet, wrinkly hands.
"Thanks." Jamie said as she passed me.
I got to my room and put all my pajamas on and just fell back into my bed, without realizing I forgot to brush my teeth.
I ran through the field. It was a green field with thick grass. I picked all the flowers, realizing I was having a lucid dream. What do I wanna make happen? I thought. All of a sudden, the setting switched back to the diner. I saw Toby sitting where he was. I walked up to him.
"You are the most beautiful girl I've ever met." He reached in to kiss me.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Fuck. I slapped my alarm clock. I shoved the covers off of me and ran down my hall to quickly get coffee. Jamie already started making some.
"Thanks." I smiled at her.
I went back to my bedroom and took off my shirt and replaced it with a purple normal shirt. I put skinny jeans on and gloves that would cover my, y'know, scars.
I picked my phone up to check my Twitter and Facebook. There was a text message.
"I'm coming for you, Elizabeth. Tonight." It said. Still private number. I'm going to get raped or murdered. Or maybe raped and murdered. I never dared showing Jamie. She takes things way out of control.
I quickly ran to my bathroom and brushed my hair and put a ponytail in it. I applied as much eyeliner as I could. I calmly walked down the hallway and Jamie had coffee on the kitchen table for me.
"Thanks, Jay." I said as I quickly sat down and sipped on my coffee, anxious.
"Anything wrong?" She looked at me with concerned eyes.
I shook and looked down and my crotch and help my hands on my head. "No, just anxious."
Jamie shook her head and took a sip of her coffee. "Oh well, just remember, I'm here to talk." She flipped a page of the newspaper.
I went to the cabinet and got a breakfast-to-go bar. I anxiously walked over to the bathroom, quickly finishing the bar and brushed my teeth. I got my purse and went to work.
"See you at five." I told her.
Work was slow. Amy didn't even pay any attention to me. She was working the till.
I got home at five, but decided to stop at Wendy's on the way home. I called Jamie.
"Want anything, Jay?" I politely asked.
"No thanks, I ate at Chris' house."
"And didn't invite me?" I sighed. "Okay then."
I went to Wendy's and got my food, then returned home. I got home at six and was very excited to eat my food.
I ate quickly, not even thinking of anything, searching the internet on my laptop.
As I took my last bite and went to stand up to throw my garbage out, my phone buzzed.
"Run" It said. I closed the laptop, threw the garbage out, grabbed my hoodie and left, crying.
