We head back inside and I instantly feel the mans eyes on me as we go and sit back at the table. When I sit down he just won't stop staring. What's with this guy? I question.
The mans gaze stays on me until we leave.
We walk around the small town and decide to shop for more food for the cabin. We enter Rite Aid and hurry to the food section while Alexa and I pick out chapstick first. We decide on Carmex and regroup with our friends who have already picked out 3 bags of chips and a 2 lt. bottle of Pepsi. My eyes scan the creature holding the Pepsi and I am ready to fire. "Don't you dare get that fucking Pepsi you gay piece of shit when there is a perfectly good 2 lt. bottle of coke you sick human being. I can't believe my eyes, Sam. I am betrayed by my own friend. What is this?"
"I like Pepsi, what's wrong with it?" Sam retorts.
"You like Pepsi? That's like saying you'd rather shoot your mom in the tit than give her a simple hug you beast. No wonder you're the weird one in this group." I shoot.
"Jesus Christ fine, I'll get the coke. It's not really a big deal." She tests.
"Thou shalt not use the lords name in vain, Sam, you devil worshipping cuck. And it is a big deal because if you get that Pepsi, you're walking back to the cabin." I spit.
Sam returns the Pepsi for a Coke "that's better" I smile. I turn around and Alexa is holding 4 bags of chips and clutching 2 2 lt. of Coke and I immediately help her as I see she is struggling. Taking the cokes, she lets out a sigh "thank you" "you're welcome" I smile. Assuming we're all done, I follow Alexa to the cash register and see the man from the restaurant standing in the isle farthest from us picking out items.
"Alexa, that man over there has been following us since we got to this town." I whisper.
"How do you know?" She asks.
"He was on the side of the road while we were heading here and then he came in to the restaurant and sat down and ate while watching us."
"Maybe we remind him of someone?"
"But why would he follow us?"
"Maybe he has a mental issue. It's not that big of a deal. This kid in school kept staring at my friend and when we asked, he said she reminded him of someone. He was autistic."
"Still weird." I sighed and paid for our foods as the others behind us placed their snacks and drinks on the counter. Once paid, we all make our way out of the store, the man nowhere to be seen.
"You guys wanna go back home now?" I ask. "Sure" Ryan retorts. "Yeah" Alexa replies next.
"Alright... now where is my car?" I say as I search my pockets for my keys. With my keys in hand, I press the alarm button and find my car, parked in front of us across the street.
"I'm about two seconds away from killing myself." I mumble. We all walk to the car and get inside. Starting the engine, I check my mirrors but notice something strange in my rear view mirror. The man is stood menacingly in front of the Rite Aid we had just left and as we backed out of the parking space, the man turned around and returned into the store.
