Prologue
I struggled trying to stay beneath the surface of the cold, freezing tense water noticing that second by second I was losing air. I had regret jumping into the lake. In my mind I argued with myself whether or not I should go above surface. I finally made a decision to go above surface. When I got above surface I regret making my decision, he was standing right there and he saw me.

1 month earlier

We stared at each other intensely seeing who would blink first. He blinked first so that was my cue to turn around and pay attention to the professor. Right when I was about to turn around to pay attention to the Professor, the Professor called my name. He told me that I shouldn't be wondering my eyes in his classroom. I was in my first year of college at University of Kentucky. It was my first day, I was embarrassed, worse thing about it was he asked me to leave his class. I was in shocked. Slowly I packed up my things and started walking towards the door. On my way out I glanced at him, remembering the face that got me kicked out the class.
Later on that day as I walked to the Café I saw him, the guy who got me kicked out of class. I walked towards him furiously; I was mad, beyond mad. As I got to him I started saying "You inconsiderate cocky guy! How could you!?How could you let him kick me out, when it was your entire fault"! I could tell he was embarrassed. As I was talking he just listened to everything I said. After I was done he said in a calm voice, "Hey it's not my fault I'm irresistible to girls, especially you" and walked away. I looked at him in amazement. I can't believe he thinks I like him! I mean yah his accent is cute, and yah he has that cute dancing boyish style. But like him? I think not! As he walked away, I started making a plan to get him back. I walked to my dorm in silence. As I walked into my room I took my clothes off and got into my bed. I said Good Night to my Best friend Shedly and feel asleep thinking, I had 248 days of this, going to school seeing the same guy every day.
I woke up bleary, and irritated. I got ready knowing I would see him today, in the same exact class. I would ignore him, and pretend he wasn't there. As I walked into the class (late) I notice there was only one chair open and it was next to him. As I took my seat I notice he was looking at me, but I ignored him. When the professor told us to take notes on the lesson, he started to panic. I looked at him wondering what's wrong. He then looked at me and whispered "Hey Kariana, can you give me a piece paper?” I pretended not to hear him. He then asked me again, so I gave him a piece of paper put before I did I made a big deal about it. I said "I don't know where you come from but here we make sure we come to school prepared, especially when you’re in college being prepared makes you a responsible guy, so next time come to school prepared! Understand"?
"Whoa, all I wanted was a sheet of paper", he said. I felt so bad for going off on him, that the whole period I ignored him.
As the bell rung, I took my belongings and started to walk towards the door, when I heard him call my name. Sad part about this situation is that I don’t know his name so I couldn’t call back to him, so I just waited for him. He walked up to me and asked me a question, he said, "Kariana do you not like me?” in his sweet accent. I was in shocked! I asked, “why do you think I don’t like you?’ He then said, “Every time I try to talk to you, you pay no attention to me or give me some sort of speech, Kariana I need you to know that I really like you.” I told him that I don’t even know your name, so how can you like me. We then started walking, and he told me his name was James. He was born in England, no wonder why he had the sexiest accent ever, he also told me he transferred from Harvard just to come here. I really didn’t understand why he did that but I didn’t care because he liked me and I liked him.
That night was our first date that we had, it was wonderful, and he brought me to this fancy restaurant called “Les Belle Petite”. Afterwards we went to a wonder theatre and watched this wonder play called “Jenny & Andrew”. Then he brought me to my dorm, and we had a passionate kiss, that lasted for a lifetime to me.
We had breathtaking dates like that every week for a month, he usually says I Love You, but I never pay attention to that. Until one day everything changed he started getting a little too close to me. I didn’t notice that until now, for some odd reason he was there, everywhere, if I was at a friend’s house he was there, the café he was there, he even transferred his classes to all my classes. One day my friend Mary and Tisha and there boyfriend Drake and Fuego came. As I ran up to them I saw him staring at me. As I hugged them he glared at me, I could feel his eyes piercing into my skin.
That night as I was in my dorm talking to Shedly, I heard a knock on the door. It was him he said. “Kariana I would like to bring you to my families Outhouse down in Serria Village.” I told him I didn’t want to go, I also told him that I didn’t want to go out with him anymore, and that we should just be friends, I noticed his nose started to flare as he started turning red. He turned around and said “Kariana you shall regret his”. I shrugged my shoulder and went back to talking with Shedly.
Me and Shedly started to get sluggish so we decided to go to sleep. As we were resting I heard a noise, it seemed like it was coming from the door. I noticed Shedly wasn’t in the room, so I thought she probably was in the bathroom and now she was trying to open the door. I went to the door to open it for her and in the door way I saw a guy dressed in a black. I stood there frightened. I didn’t know what to do, so I tried to close the door but he was stronger than I. He burst into the room and covered my mouth so I couldn’t scream. He then put something over my nose it smelled so sweet, I soon realized it was chloroform; I was knocked out in seconds.
I woke up around 2 o’clock in the morning to the sound of someone driving on the road pavement. I noticed that I couldn’t move, it seemed like I was in some type of box, oh my gosh, I was in the trunk of a car! I started screaming and panicking. The car drove for about another hour, it stopped and the trunk flew open. It was James he had kidnapped me! As he dragged me inside the house, I cried. I thought I would never see my family and friends. He kept me in a little room for about a week; he gave me sandwiches to eat. One night he forced me to say that I loved him and I would l like to sleep with him. That night I cried like I never cried before as had his way with me. He raped me. He then fell asleep; as he was sleeping I decided to run away. I got out the bed and ran, ran to the woods. I don’t know how he did it but he was after me in minutes, he called my name million times. I didn’t know where I was going that I ran into a dead end. A Lake, that’s it, I decided to go underwater, and hold my breath.
I struggled trying to stay beneath the surface of the cold, freezing tense water noticing that second by second I was losing air. I had regret jumping into the lake. In my mind I argued with myself whether or not I should go above surface. I finally made a decision to go above surface. When I got above surface I regret making my decision, he was standing right there and he saw me. We stared at each other I made a plan in my head. My plane was that I would swim far enough were he couldn't reach me. I swam for about 20 minutes, but then I got tired. I stop for 5 seconds! That 5 seconds will forever changed my life.
He was behind me! I started to panic; I was screaming and crying at the same time. As I was attempting to swim away I tripped over a big rock. I lost my balance and I started to drown as I got my balance again, I notice that he was standing right behind me. He reached out to grab me, but I went under the water. I went around and I jumped on his back. I tried to choke him, but he was stronger than me, he pulled me of and threw me in the water. I know it was just water but it hurt, after he threw me in the water my whole body started to throb. I knew I had to do something, so I started swimming again but this time towards him I started splashing water at him, and I poked his eyes so he couldn’t see. While he couldn’t see I started swimming away toward the docks. He then yelled and said enough and I heard a loud noise and felt an ache on my arms. He shot me.
I woke up to a dark room, I thought I was dead. He came walking through the door, and asked me if I was okay. It was James. The same James that kidnapped me, starved me, raped me, and shot me. He said he was sorry for doing all of that and that we was sorry for what he was about to do. He said “I Love You Kariana” and ran towards me with a knife; he started stabbing me, while he was stabbing me he said “I Love You”, every stab he said it. Stab, I Love you, Stab, I Love You, stab I Love You. I was dead.
