Chapter Seven

You worried me tonight, Paige. You always get back to your dorm at ten to seven, but tonight you weren’t there. I was waiting to make sure you got home ok, after that guy got stabbed to death in town the other night. They say he was knifed twenty seven times. There are crazy people around, Paige, and I’m just watching out for you.

I came round the building to see if you had just been held up, and there you were. Talking to a guy. Another guy, Paige. Really? I know this one. The girls go crazy for him, then he uses them up and spits them out. He’s a player, preying on na?ve young girls like you. I see right through him. Trust me, I just want what's best for you.

Sure, he’s not dangerous, but he’s not good for you, Paige. He doesn’t deserve your attention, or the way you smiled up at him. He only wants one thing from you. they all do. Not like me. I just want you to be happy, Paige. You're different, special. So don’t worry. I’m going to take care of you. I’ll make sure they stop bothering you.
