Wednesday: Day 5 of Spring break. Spring break is feeling like summer, boring and hot.

Zee and Deidre called today saying that they're having a blast. Good for them, they deserve a little alone time, all the way on the other side of the country. SIGH! Today I got a text that was even creepier than the last ones. I couldn't just delete it.

"Zoey, how much do you love me?"

I texted back, for the first time "IDK you, and I don't want to know you, and I hate you! You killed my BFF's cat for Christ's sakes!! I fucking HATE YOU!!!!"

In what seemed like a blink of the eye I get a call.

"Zoey, you know I won't stop until you are MINE," a creepy synthesized voice screeched at me.

"FUCK YOU, YOU ARE A WORTHLESS WORM OF A PERSON, AND A FUCKING WASTE OF SPACE!! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!!"

I hang up feeling flustered, proud, and scared. I don't want him to text or call anymore so I block his number. I thought that would solve the problem.

I'm an idiot.

Thursday: Day 6 of Spring break. I think I should give you a little background on my family.

My mom is a workaholic who is basically always on her Bluetooth, talking to God knows who. She's an entrepreneur (she started her own business for all of y'inz who don't know what that is) and she's building up her company day by day. Like, literally, she's ALWAYS on the phone. She never even makes us food. She leaves her credit card with a note saying "Don't spend too much on dinner".

Dad : gone, left when I was 4. Don't remember him too well.

Sister: Bailey Joanne 17, long blonde wavy hair, blue-green eyes, and my personal help center. NOW, ON WITH THE SHOW!!

"Bailey, oh Bailey-Bear!" <sing-song voice>

"Zoey, oh Zoey-Bug!"

"BB may I come in?"

"Yes you may ZB," this is embarrassing, but that's how I talk to her. *---*

"Bailey I want to show you something, please help!"

"Zoe, puh-lease. When have I ever not helped you?"

"Well, ok."

I show her the texts he's been sending me for the past two weeks. She scrolls through them all, and looks to her window.

"Why didn't you show me this earlier?"

"I don't know! I was scared. "

"That van's been in Mrs. O'Neil's driveway for like a month and it hasn't moved. I think I'll check it out. I mean, it has a satellite dish on it!!"

And with that Bailey ran down the steps, and across the street.
