"I have no argument there," she said and relaxed.
As we got to the airport, the car that seemed to be following us went to the arrival door, so we weren't being followed after all. The whole ordeal had gotten Rachel on high alert, although I tried letting her know that there was nothing to worry about. As we approached the entrance of the airport, Lawrence was there.
"Can I have a word with you?" he asked.
"Not now Lawrence, I have a flight to…"
“I received notification that my flight has been cancelled. Looks like I don't have a flight to catch to anymore," I sighed.
He started walking.
"Don't follow him," Rachel warned.
"It's a crowded place; he won't do anything that stupid," I assured her. "Just don't stay too far from me."
"Alright," she agreed and followed behind me.

"So what do you want?" I asked.
"Why do you hate me so much?" he asked.
"I beg your pardon?" I blinked twice. "What in tarnation are you going on about?"
"You don't know how to answer a simple question?" he asked, slowly raising his voice, as he approached, but I wasn't afraid of him. "We…were going to be husband and wife. Me who has been with you since day one and you, the only perfect woman, perfectly crafted for my sake. Every stage of your life I have documented and recorded."
"Did you just say something creepy?" I asked.
"Natasha!" Rachel called out.
I turned to find her being tazed by two men.
"Lawrence, stop, let's be rational," I tried to reason with him. "There's no need to go this far."
"Natasha, I'm the only perfect man for you, and I don't think you realize it," he said, and the crazed look in his eyes finally succeeded in terrifying me.
I turned to run, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me to himself, covering my mouth so I wouldn’t scream. I bit his palm, but he didn't even flinch; he groaned. I felt so disgusted.
"We'll go somewhere far away, where no one would bother us," he said as he dragged me away.
"Yeah I don't think so," a voice said, followed by a thud.
Lawrence let me go and turned to face his assailant. It turned out to be Ian who wasted no time in punching him in the face. The men from earlier tried to run toward us, but the other Sullivan brothers were there, beating the thugs up and restraining them.
"Why do each and every one of us had a crazy ex in their lives?" Ethan asked.
"You were the only one with the crazy ex," Ben said. "Oh wait, Olivia had one."
"I guess it's a family thing," Ian said as he stared at his knuckles. He turned his attention to me, "Did he hurt you?"
"No but Rachel…" I turned to her, but she was already getting up.
"I've been grazed by bullets before, so a Taser is nothing," she said. She slowly got to her feet while grunting and wheezing a little.
I hugged Ian. "I was so…"
"Shhh…it's okay," he said to calm me down. I was still a bit shaken from the ordeal.
