Remember a couple chapters ago when Vincent was talking about how essential "love, trust, and respect" are to a relationship? This is an example (admittedly, a rather tame one) of what a relationship looks like without those things.
It's not good. I've known a lot of people who've let relationships like this go on a bit too long. I've been there myself in the past. I know it's not always easy to tell when things are bad, and I know there are often other factors at play, but if you feel like something might be very unhealthy about your relationship (if you feel unsafe, if you feel like you can't trust them, if you don't love or even LIKE them), you don't have to stay in it. "It's just easier" is never a good reason to maintain an otherwise problematic relationship.
Please love yourself and take care of yourself, first and foremost.
It actually can't be Kellen. But don't worry. It's not just you; I had considered this myself when writing this scene, if nothing else because I love making connections and tying different arcs together. The thing is though, it kinda doesn't work. Like, chronologically, the timeline doesn't match up. Chase and Kellen would've already been split since about a year before Emily met him (it's okay to forget this, as it got brought up a looooong time ago). http://rain.thecomicseries.com/comics/115/
Rather, this girl harassing Emily is literally just another girl Chase jerked around. Kellen IS yet another of his exes, for sure, but she's not THIS ex. Speaks more on how much he jumps around from girl to girl than anything.
(Also, You sound like my friend urging me to get an aluminum bat for safety, lol)
