i'm always watching. (a billie eilish story)

chapter one.

i was sitting on the couch with layla playing with her hair when the doorbell rang. "foods here" i said. i got up off the couch and made my way to the door. when i opened it i looked at the man. he looked very similar but i didn't know where i'd seen him from. went to grab the food but the man still had his grip on the bag. "oh sorry here's 10 bucks." i handed him the money but he didn't budge. "hello billie. are you alone in there...darling?" he said with a creepy grin on his face. "no i live with my family and my lovely girlfriend. now leave me the fuck alone and give me my damn food!" i said as i snatched the bag and shut the door in the man's face. i walked back to the couch where layla was sitting and set the food down on the coffee table in front of us. "what took so long?" layla said grabbing her food out of the bag. "some creepy man asked if i lived alone. he looked oddly familiar but i didn't know where he was from." i told layla as my hands were shaking. "one sec..." layla said as she grabbed her phone. i saw her go onto the 'ring' app for our doorbell and saw the man was taking a picture of our address.

"layla babe they're here." i said to her as i was locking all of the other doors but the front door, so we could let the police in. one police saw the man driving away so he went and followed him until he got to our dead end at the end of the road. we saw an officer walk up to our door and try to knock on it. i didn't give him to chance to i was freaking out and needed this man to be away from me and my girlfriend. "hi officer." i said with my breath shaky. "what's the problem here girls?" he said with his hands in his pockets. i explained everything to him. "it doesn't seem like there's anything we can do right now because it hasn't happened multiple times. if it happens again give us a call and we will be at your door in less then 2 minutes." the cop said walking out the door. "wait officer you don't understand. i've definitely seen this man before just not here. he looks very familiar." i said grabbing the officers arm. "must have been a dream. sorry kiddo there isn't anything we can do about it. if it happens again give us a call." he shut the door and walked over to the other officer who was losing the man in hand cuffs ready to put him in the police car. until they let him go...
