Chapter Fifteen

I jerked away from her. I couldn't believe what I had just heard.
"Nick...what? What's wrong?" Catherine said her eyes wide reaching for me. "Did you get scared? Are you thinking about what happened?"
I grabbed my boxers and pulled them on...not able to speak.
"Nick what is wrong? Tell me"
After I pulled my clothes on I looked at her...."It's you...you're the one after me."
Then I ran...to the door swinging it open not caring about the silent alarm.
I looked down the hall way and there was no one..."Shit" I turned and there she was,"Nick..please what's wrong?"
"Stay away from me you psycho bitch!" I ran back into the house and she ran after me.
"Nick you think..." I grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
"How could I be so stupid?!" I pulled her into the bathroom and then slammed the door shut. I then pulled a chair infront of the door. I knew the police would be to my room soon to take her away but I went over to the counter and pushed the alarm button anyways.
Then I sat down in the chair and waited. Thank god it was finally gonna be over..
Within the next ten minutes they arrived with Kevin. They all rushed over to me and I got up letting them at Catherine. "It's her Kev...she's the one after me!" I cried.
Kevin wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug, "Dont worry bro. It'll be ok. It's over now"
I moved from Kevin and watched as the police handcuffed Catherine and started walking towards the door.
She looked at me with her cold green eyes, "Nick...I cant believe you..."
Then she was gone.
I sat for a few hours with Kevin and the detective. I told them everything that had happened which really wasn't much and how I knew it was her though. The voice..that whisper...and the words.
"Well Mr.Carter they will do extensive questioning and you should be fine. Once we get everything under way, you'll be able to move back into your own home. But until then just stay here. Just incase she breaks out. I seriously doubt it would happen but you never know. Call me if you need me."
"Thanks" I said running my hands through my hair.
I got up and walked with Kevin and the detective to the door letting him out. "You go sit down on the couch Nick..I wanna talk to the detective for a minute to make sure they are doing everything to make sure Catherine doesn't hurt you" Kevin said.
"Alright." i sighed and sat down on the couch. Then the door closed. "Hey Kev...why dont you put the code in for me..since they caught her and all...I'm too tired to get up. "
"Sure Nick..I'll put it in on my way out." Kevin called back.
"Thanks man it's 4325" I called back out. I then heard the code being punched in and the door closed again.
I layed my head back on the couch and closed my eyes...finally it was over... When I opened my eyes again I looked over to the figure standing by the wall. "Kev...I thought you had left."
Kevin looked over at me, "No not yet."
I laughed, "Don't worry Kev..I'll be ok they caught her remember?"
"Yea I know Nick," Kevin answered then looked away then back at me and smiled then laughed.
"What?" I asked laughing wondering what the joke was.
"You got rid of her." Kevin answered laughing still.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"I said...you got rid of her. Just like I told you to. Just like I knew you would." Kevin smiled.
My eyes grew wide.."What ...you mean...you....why?"
"Why not Nick? I told you I'd be home soon and here I am. We're perfect Nick. You know deep down you love me." Kevin said as he moved closer.
