I made it to my photo shoot with minutes to spare. I did however get scolded by my manager. The photo shoot itself ended up taking most of my day up. On my break I texted Jelena letting her know that I won't be able to see her tonight. She sent me a picture of her being sad. 

"This will be your last take for today." My manager announced to me. 

"For today? So I have a another photo shoot tomorrow?" I asked. 

He nodded. 

"Being a model is tiring." I mumbled under my breath. 

"You can quit anytime." He said, hearing me. 

"I said it was tiring not that I didn't like it." I shook my head. "I'm gonna head home. I'm tired." 

"How are you and Jelena doing?" He asked. 

"We're good." I smiled. "I hate being away from her." 

"I know, you get all moody." My manager laughed. 

"I do not." I argued with him on our way out.

I got home and called Jelena. She answered it, I could tell by her silence that I woke her up. 

"Did I wake you?" I asked. 

"Yeah." She mumbled. 

"I'm sorry." I yawned. 

"Mm it's fine." Jelena yawned. 

"Did you eat today?" I asked. 

It took her a while to reply. 

"Yeah, Maria made sure of it." She said. "Oh!" 

From the movement I could tell she was sitting up. 

"So I might have a stalker." She said a little nervous and scared. 

"What?" I took the phone off of speaker and put it up to my ear. "A stalker?" 

"I've noticed this guy following me around lately. He wears a black mask so I can't get a good look at his face." Jelena sighed. "I haven't seen him around my house yet, so I think I'm safe for now." 

"I'm coming over right now." I grabbed my stuff. 

"No, no. I'm fine." She said. 

"Don't I'm fine me Jelena, I'll be there in a few." I hung up on her. "Stupid girl why are you just now telling me this." 

I took the short cuts to her house getting there faster. I looked around as I got out my car. It was dark when I got inside. As I reached her room I noticed that the tv was on. I smiled seeing that she's still scared of the dark. I opened the door slowly. 

"It's just me." I said seeing that she was hiding under the covers. 

"You scared the shit out of me." She throw a pillow at me. 

I laughed catching it. 

"Sorry." I made my way over to her bed. "I locked the door, don't worry." 

"Okay." She moved over making room for me. 

"So this stalker." I looked at her. "Can you draw me a picture of what he looks like?" 

"I already did." Jelena got up getting her sketch book. 

I watched her as she flipped to the page. 

"Here." She handed me the book. 

"That's the guy from the bus stop." I looked at her. 

"Yeah." She nodded her slowly sitting on the bed. "I just know it's him." 

"Who?" I moved closer to her. 

"Before I met you, there was this guy who followed me around like a lost puppy. I would get teased for it a lot." She sighed shaking her head. "Soon I found out that he had picture of me. Explicit pictures of me." 

I was speechless. 

"When I confronted him about it. I shouldn't have done that." She slapped herself in the head. 

I grabbed her hands making sure she didn't do it again. 

"After I confronted him about he sent it to everyone in school." The pain in her voice angered me. "The teasing got worse. Boys would try to.." 

She stopped as tears rolled down her face. 

"Why did you keep this from me?" I asked. 

"Because, I thought you'd think different of me." She wiped her tears. 

"I could never." I moved wrapping my arms around her. 

"Because it all, I met you." She smiled. 

"Wait so you were gonna kill yourself because of that?" I asked. 

"Yeah, I couldn't take it anymore." She sighed. "I was willing to leave everyone behind." 

"Even Maria?" I gave her a questioning look. 

"She know about everything. I told her I was fine but I wasn't. I was dying inside. She doesn't know that I was going to throw myself off the bridge." She rested her head on my shoulder. 

"Till this day I'm still glad I went for a jog." I smiled kissing her forehead. 

"Me too." She closed her eyes. 

I watched Jelena as she fell asleep in my arms. 

"I won't let anything bad happen to you." I brushed her hair away from her face before cuddling against her. 

She turned over burring her face into my chest. I held her close letting sleep take me away.
