John Price

When you were younger, like in high school, you were alone a lot. If not always.

Everyone saw you as the weird teenager. You hadn't done anything wrong in reality, victim of a conspiracy and rumors by students more popular than you. You were silent, not very rich, quite dreamy. So you made them a perfect target.

To escape this difficult life you were living, you went to meet strangers online. At first, everything was going well. You gave little information. You only spoke occasionally and it was enough.

Now, even after years, you continue these meetings. Even if you have friends in real life, like John for example. Your best friend and best advisor.

This old man was one of the best encounters in your life.

Back to your internet friends. You had one in particular with whom you were very close. You shared everything. Photos, names, address, passions..

Isaac.

He was perfect and you quickly fell in love with him. Well, you thought you loved him. John had warned you and told you not to give so much importance to a man you had never seen. But you didn't listen to him.

Now that you were a couple with Isaac, you often sent him nudes or other messages to excite him. Even though you didn't really want it, you were too well manipulated to resist. And there was nothing you could do about it, while John was getting furious.

Last night, a stranger tried to break into your house. It was around 11 p.m. when you heard it.

He had broken the window and slipped inside your house. He found you, asleep with your dog on your lap, in front of the TV. Just as he was going to grab your wrist, your dog woke up and attacked him.

You managed to escape to your room with your dog and called the police despite your panic attack. Then, of course, you called John. John and the police arrived at the same time. The intruder was quickly handcuffed while John comforted you with the help of your dog.

That's when a police officer told you he found who the intruder was: Isaac.

The Isaac you were talking to. The sweet Isaac who you thought was good, kind, smart and funny, a man in his twenties, was in reality an old man in his forties, always drunk or on drugs. He had a notebook with him where he wrote down what he was going to do to you.

Kidnap you. Rape you. Get married. Keeping you with him forever and making you the perfect spouse.

It was a shock for you. You could have suffered of that.

John, who was there during the explanation, immediately took you in his arms and began to rock you gently. “Shh, everything’s okay darling…” he whispers in a soft voice, gently rubbing your back “I’m here, everything’s going to be okay.”
