Who is this person. What is their grudge against me? "Aaarrggghhh", I screamed in frustration.
"Everything ok sweetie" My dad called upstairs.
I screamed and cried into my pillow so my dad wouldn't hear. He opened the door and sat at the end of the bed.
"What's happening Jess, is it someone at school"? He asked.
"I saw something at school Dad. You were um, in your office and there was a man with a gun at the side of you. He was pressing it up against your skull".
"Where did you see this Jess"?
"At school in my files"!
"What else did you see"?
"A video of mum in a conference and a picture of me in a lesson, please just tell me what it is dad! I'm getting really scared now"!
"I need you to take a deep breath and be strong"
"Why"
"A few years ago, when me and your mother were having a few problems, your mum used to come home late! Do you remember Jessica"?
"No, no not really"
"Well she was being stalked, and not just your mother but you me and your brother. She threatened them that",
"Them, they were like a group".
"Not exactly",
"Well what then Dad"?
"She threatened a man and woman that if they didn't stop stalking her she would take them to court".
"So they knew about me then"?
"The woman used to follow you to school. She was having a few problems at the time".
"So in other words she was mad".
"Don't be disrespectful Jess".
"Well you can't exactly expect me to be forgiving when they put my mum through hell".
"Yes I understand. Now please calm down and let me explain".
"I'm sorry dad".
"You have nothing to apologise for i understand why you're acting this way. The video of your mother in a conference was taken by the stalkers assistance. They had a grudge against this family".
"Where are the they now"? I asked
"We don't know" he replied, "they went missing a few weeks ago"!
"When did it stop"?
"It hasn't"!
"What do you mean"
"They still take pictures and videos"
"I don't get why school has them though Dad"
"We sent them so they could make sure you were safe" he told me, "we didn't want anything happening to you".
"Make sure you don't tell anyone".
"But".
"No buts, now get some rest", he insisted and left my room, closing the door slowly.
I laid there on my bed, imagining what they could look like. Why would they have a grudge against MY family. There was more to this than meets the eye, there had to be.
"What do you want for tea"? my dad shouted upstairs.
I didn't reply. "You are such a daydreamer" my dad said.
I laughed.
