For the past month, I have been getting threats and they're increasing, making me fear for my life. I'm not the only one who is scared. My family and Silas are also scared for me too. They don't leave me on my own and extra security has been installed in my apartment. The only time I'm without Silas or my family is when I'm in class and I have to give them constant updates that I'm okay or they will freak out.

"I promise I will put an end to this." Dad kisses my head, making me smile. "Please/do, because I'm super done with all of this," I heavily sigh.

"If you want Silas to be here when the detective comes, you can call him," Dad tells me. Part of me wants to call him; however, another part
