His Mission Chapter 11 My safe haven , let me tell you about it . A cafe located down small side streets that's only a ten minute walk from where I live . It's a small building , possibly too small but that's what I like about it . The moment I enter the warmth and scent ravels around me , making me feel safe . My father and I are the only people to know of it's existence which means Trevor has no idea that it's my favourite place to hide . I love to sit by the window when it's raining and watch as the droplets of rain slide down the glass . The entire building holds a special place in my heart along with fond memories of me and my father . view . After ordering a hot chocolate and a cheese toastie , I scan the dining area and make my way towards a seat in the corner that's out of Lulu's cafe is designed like the inside of a cabin . Dark wooden booths line one corner and chocolate leather sofas are along the other . Pictures of assorted pastries , cakes and coffee covers the walls . The delicious scent of warm chocolate , coffee beans and pastry permanently lingers in the air . My stomach grumbles loudly in protest , screaming out for something to ravish . I can't remember the last time I ate . " There you go dear , enjoy . " The owner smiles , placing the plate down onto the table . The smell of toasted bread and cheese hits me and my stomach rumbles embarrassingly . " Thank you . " I respond , smiling at her in return . As she begins to walk away , my phone buzzes inside my pocket . I smile immediately as I pull it out , hoping to see Jake's contact flash up on the screen . It isn't Jake . My palms begin to sweat and I look around , the paranoia building up inside me . My hands begin to tremble as I scan over the text a second time - You shouldn't be skipping college ... I'm watching you Emily . Who is this person ? Why are they watching me ? That's not creepy at all ... Who are you ? Leave me alone ! I quickly send the text , slamming my phone down onto the table , I blow out the breath I'm holding and lean back against the chair , closing my eyes . Suddenly I don't have much of an appetite for the cheese toastie . 44444 After finishing up at Lulu's , I decide the safest place for me to be is college .

Chapter 11 1 knock on my classroom door and enter , my eyes landing on a substitute teacher sat at the desk instead of Mrs Wilkins . Sorry I'm late , dentist appointment . I explain briefly before taking a seat next to Trish . I still feel terrible , my body is weak and constantly in pain . 88 I've managed to hide the bruises forming on my skin underneath a grey turtle neck jumper . I ignore the stares around me and instead pull out a text book from my bag , placing it onto the desk . Beside me , Trish watches before leaning closer - " You look terrible Em , shouldn't you be at home resting ? " Gee , thanks Trish . I shake my head , giving her a small smile . " I feel fine . " I lie effortlessly . " Is it the flu ? What if it's Ebola ? " Trish grimaces and I notice her not so subtle way of creating distance between us . I immediately splutter with laughter and curse myself for doing so as pain shoots through my side . I grip onto it tightly , waiting for the pain to subside .
