I was laying in bed late one night during my 16th summer i was watching my little brother he was only 6 and shouldn't have been up but he couldn't sleep and i told him he could stay up 10 more minutes. We watched tv in the living room just then i heard my phone in the upstairs room i told my little brother i was going to check my phone because it might be mom and dad. He just smiled and continued watching tv. i walked up stairs and looked at it but it wasn't from my parents it was from a number i didn't know it said "your pretty.." i texted back saying "i think you have the wrong number" because i was homeschooled and didn't have very many friends it sent and i went to go back down stairs.
Before i even got down the hall to the stairs i heard another "ding" i looked down at my phone and it said "are you sure...?" another ding "your not the girl i'm looking at right now..? my heart stopped as more dings came but this time they was pictures of... me first one was of me and my brother sitting in the living room then of me getting up... who ever this was took the pictures from the bottom corner of the kitchen doorway then i remembered that my little brother was still down there. I grabbed the bat was ready to run downstairs when another ding came this time it was a picture of me standing in the hall this one came from the right. I looked over and seen a shadow.
I finally ran down the stairs i could hear whoever it was following behind my heart was racing when i got to the bottom of the steps i swung the bat behind me and all i heard was cries of pain. I snached my little brother up and swung open the front door i got him on the porch, but then i felt a hand grab my arm i screamed to my brother to go get help then i got pulled back i fell to the ground. I could see my brother from the window running across the street and the guy came towards me i picked up the bat again and hit the guy in the leg he fell to the ground and i got up i hit him again, but this time in the arm before running the same way as my brother. I bangged on the door and it opened and i fell to the floor and slammed the door shut with my foot.
I huddled up with my little brother and they had told me that they had already called the cops. Not even 5 minutes later there was cops outside an and parents "ding" i pulled my phone out of my pocket and the text read "goodbye i love you.." the cops soon told me they caught the guy and that he was 19 year old who escaped the hospital after seeing me there when i went to go see my sick grandma. The cops said that he had been following me for about two weeks they also said that in the phone was many pictures of me walking, sitting around the house and the worst was the ones of me sleeping . Iv since changed my number and started having friends over when i was home alone or babysitting but this is scarred in my mind and i still get nervous when i hear my phone "ding."
