PSYCHO KIDNAPPER

PSYCHO KIDNAPPER
Sharon's world shatters when a relentless stalker escalates his obsession, nearly kidnapping her. Now, a year later, as she navigates a budding romance with Jason, the shadows of the past loom large. Will her protective family and new love be enough to keep her safe, or is the psycho kidnapper closer than she dares to imagine?

Beep beep beep beeepppppp (alarm). "Oh Shit!!! I am late again!" I groaned, the digital clock flashing 7:30 AM. Gosh, Mom was going to kill me. This was the fifth time this week I was late for school. I scrambled out of bed, a frantic blur of motion.

After a quick shower, I threw on my usual skinny blue jeans, a yellow top, and my favorite converse. I curled my hair, leaving it loose, and applied a touch of makeup. A final glance in the mirror confirmed I looked presentable, despite the rush.

Downstairs, my younger brother Ken was already at the dining table, munching on his breakfast. He grinned, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Mom is pissed, you are late again." I hated it when he did that, enjoying my fear. My heart sank. Mom was definitely going to ground me, and I had plans with Jason this weekend.

Just then, Mom entered the dining area, her expression calm but firm. "Oh, so finally you got ready." I swallowed, too scared to reply. "Come on Sharon, this is the fifth time you are getting late for school, have some sense of responsibility dear," she said, her voice softer than I expected. "I am sorry, Mom, it will not happen again, I promise." I really hoped it wouldn't. My date with Jason depended on it.
