"I don't like this," I mutter, watching Rosie as she puts on her jacket. My heart is racing to the point of pain and I keep pacing back and forth in her bedroom. She sighs and turns towards me causing me to stop moving around.

"I will be careful." She wraps her arms around my neck. "And I know there will be a lot of security around," she reminds me, attempting to make me feel better and more at ease, but my nerves are all over her place.

We found out who her stalker is. I wish I could say I was surprised to learn that it was Everest, but I kind of expected him to do something as sick as stalking and terrorizing Rosie. He couldn't get over the fact that Rosie humiliated him in front of a lot of people at the party. I wish I was at that party. I wanted to see her put him in his place.

"I just want you to be safe," I mumble, holding her close to me.

"And I will be safe. Dad won't put me in danger and the detective has many security guards discussed as pedestrians around. Let's not forget the police," she reminds me. I should be convinced, but I'm not. I'm not saying that I would care about her safety more than her father would, but I saw the plan as a risk. When it comes to Rosie, I don't take risks. I always prefer to play it safe whenever she is involved.

We now know that the stalker, who happens to be Everest, follows her actively during the days she goes to classes. When she was at her parents' place, he didn't send her any message that indicated that he knew her location. However, whenever she is at college, the tone of his messages changes. He even sends her pictures of herself while she's sitting with me or any to freak her out.

Today, we're trying our luck. We don't know if he may follow her or not, but we've given him enough signs to make him believe that Rosie is going out with the girls tonight. She has posted stories on Instagram, showing her ticket to an event she's supposedly going to with the girls.

We're certain that he wants to hurt her and since she's going to be on her own, this will make him think that she's an easy target. We have already installed a GPS in her car to track her lest anything bad should happen. She is also wearing a very small earpiece that allows us to talk to her in case we need to give her a warning.
