In the shadows, under the bleachers

Chapter 16

These past couple of days have been... something. From Mom texting and calling me sweet and innocent things to her sending me threatening messages if I don't come out and go home with her. To Mark offering excuses for her stalkerish behavior and her threats. She even showed up to the school and turned up to Mark and Will's game. Luckily I was down under the bleachers so she didn't see me.

Right now she was currently outside of Will's apartment once again pacing back and forth, waiting for one of us to come out. I'm honestly surprised Will hasn't call the cops yet.

"How much longer do you think she's going to keep doing this?" Will asked peeking out of blinds.

I shrugged, "Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if she went on all night."

"The persistence of this women is astounding." He muttered still looking out the blinds.

"I can just-"

"No," He immediately shut me down, "I don't care about that, you're staying here."

"But-"

"No buts, reckless. You're staying here, far away from you're psycho of a mother."

"She isn't a psycho Will." Although she's something similar

"Then what do you call her stalkerish, threatening and overall insane behavior towards you?" He wondered.

I didn't say anything.

"Exactly," He looked away, "I don't know what else to call it. Did she even tell you why she wants to talk to you?"

I shook my head, "Not once, she's just like, "sweetie can you please come outside." And then she goes to, "if you don't come outside I'm going to break down the door and drag you out myself. Or "it's I'm going to call the cops."

Will laughed, "That's actually hilarious, we should be the ones calling the cops."

"And why haven't you yet, is my question."

"Mark's begging me not to."

"So he knows what she's been doing these past couple of days?" I asked, "Wait you talking to him?"

"Yeah he does know, and I guess." He shrugged, "I mean I am still upset by the fact her gave her my address which gave her the chance the to stalk her son. But he's my best friend, it's impossible for me to stay with him that much that I wouldn't talk to him."

"You're being stalked, is that seriously not enough to make you stop talking to him?"

He shrugged again joining me on the couch, "I guess not, and I'd rather be stalked than let you go anywhere near her."

As if she heard us a message popped up.

Mom: I swear don't make me break down the door

"Have you tried oh I don't know, blocking her?" Will asked, looking over my shoulder.

"I have, many times but she just keeps getting new numbers to text me from."

There was a knock on the front door, shutting the both of us up.

"Speak of the devil we were just talking about you." Will muttered, right after he said that the person starting banging on the door.

"Open this door Aiden, Don't make me tell Mark about what you and his best friend are doing."

We stayed quiet and we eventually heard dogs barking and people opening there doors to shout at her.

"I swear to god woman stop pestering those goddamn kids. They ain't done nothing to you." I heard one guy shout, he had probably been sleeping and was rudely awoken by her banging.
