The Man Out To Get Me

I suddenly jump up out if bed. I cautiously look around my room scared that Jude will be there. He isn't. I go to my window facing his house. There he is. He's staring out his window and at mine. I fall back from the window landing in my floor. My ankle hurts really bad. Oh no.

As I look at my ankle I can see how twisted up and broke it is. How am I even supposed to explain this to my mom? I saw Jude and got scared because he haunts me in my dreams. She'd never believe it. I think I'll just tell her I tripped while getting out of bed.

As I limp slowly down the stairs into my moms room I see that her light is already on. I knock slowly. She opens it immediately and says,

"What was that bang? Are you ok? What happened?"

I point down to my a ankle and say,

"I was getting out of bed when I fell over and broke my ankle."

Luckily she buys it. She looks at me sympathetically.

"Get on a different shirt but be careful. Looks like your going to the doctors early." she declares.

I limp back up the stairs and change my shirt. I first notice that my window is open. I then look around my room but I don't see Jude anywhere. I change my shirt and limp back down the stairs.

We get into the car and drive back to the hospital. As we wait in the waiting room with the same bare white walls I looks out the window. Then I see him. Of course. Jude followed us all the way here. Okay it's official, he's stalking me now. When I see him I jump but then quickly look away as I hear them call my name.

I'm on crutches and have a lime-green cast. The doctor said it was the worst break he's ever seen. Isn't that just great. Jude scared me so bad that I broke my ankle. And now I have to be on crutches for almost a years.

Wonderful.

As my mom and I are on our way home I am thinking about wether or not I should tell her about all my dreams about Jude. All of the things that have happened because of him. As we pull into the driveway I decide against it.

As I walk up to my room I can hear something or someone moving around upstairs. I slowly crutch up the stairs and into my room. What I see is so terrifying I scream.

There climbing out of my window is Jude! He proceeds to silently creep out my window pretending not to hear me. My mom comes in just as he disappears off the roof.

My heart races out of fear as I try to explain what just happened to my mom but any efforts I tried to make were useless. I more just stood there hyperventilating than explaining but my mom understands me anyway and walks straight over to Jude's house.

I hear her yelling at him through my window that is still open. He denies everything though and my mom buys his story instead of mine. Great. Now my mom thinks I lied and I'm grounded and also have Jude stalking me,sneaking into my house, and still haunting me in my dreams.

As long as we don't go any where with trees though then it's impossible for him to chase me through the woods like in my dreams. Good thing we won't be moving anywhere to soon. And if we do go anywhere I'm sure it won't be where there's a bunch if trees and hopefully if we move Jude won't follow us.

I slowly crutch down the stairs. Once I am finally down I am greeted by my mom. She said that if I don't pass out this weekend then I can go back to school on Monday since it hasn't happened in a while. Now I have to get all my homework caught up in one day. Great.

It took all day for me to get my homework done but I finally finished. It's 11:01 by the time I get to bed. Finally three days without passing out. As I begin to fall asleep I hear foot steps coming up the stairs and then my door slowly creaks open. My mom had come to make sure I was asleep. So glad it wasn't Jude.

I easily fall asleep. I'm exhausted. Great. Here it comes again the hiding the running I know the drill but something seems different this time. There's something else. Or should I say someone else.

This time my mom is there. He's holding my mom around her neck.

"Come to me now or else your mom goes to." He yells at me.

Reluctantly I amble towards him. He quickly shoves my mom away from him and draws me closer. What's he doing with me? Why does he need me? What if I die tonight?

Then suddenly I am awoken by a loud "BANG!" that echoes throughout the house. I know exactly what it is. Someone just shot a gun. The alarms start to go off as I here someone coming up the stairs. He's here.
