Forever And Always

Chapter 8

I arrived home thirty minutes later as I was walking slowly. It was already four and it was the day I went to the market to get groceries.

Since it was on a Wednesday, I hoped there wouldn't be many people like the last time.
It had been hectic to find anything,considering the amount of people that had been there.

I took the shopping list and hurried down the road. I had to get there first.
A few minutes later, I was at the grocery store and already looking at my list. I walk around picking anything that's in my list and putting it in the large trolley.

By the time I'd finished, I was really tired by pushing the trolley around full of groceries.
I noticed, this guy staring at me all the time. He was pretending to be picking random things but his eyes were fixed on me. This cannot be a good sign.

I pushed the trolley so forcefully that I almost fell from the impact. I hurriedly went to the cashier and paid. The groceries were carefully put into plastic bags and I was really impatient.

I looked around, my eyes searching for the strange guy. He was nowhere to be seen. And perhaps there was no guy at all staring at me. Since that knocking incident, I had become paranoid.

A guard helped me get my groceries outside and then he went back to his job.
I immediately take out my phone and call a cab. I really hope it'd arrive fast. I couldn't stand there anymore. I impatiently wait for the cab and it took forever.

"Hello there ", a voice says.
I jump and I turn around to find the same guy who'd been staring at me. I tried to calm down and my Instincts screaming at me to run away.

Just then the cab arrives and I quickly step towards it. The driver gets the luggage into the cab and I had already gotten in. Oh my gosh! So I wasn't paranoid after all.

I asked the driver to hurry up and not slow down at any point. But he had to slow down at the traffic lights.

Finally, we arrive home. After paying him and he had already gone, I had to struggle with the heavy luggage. I made it to the kitchen and stocked everything in the fridge.

I ran to my bedroom and I almost start crying. I then remember how strong I am and I blink away the tears.
I walk to the kitchen and made myself something to eat. I was really exhausted and I didn't even do my assignment.
I really didn't know who this mysterious guy was and what he wanted. I had to be careful from now on.

I promised myself that I would tell my parents first thing they arrived.
I couldn't help but connect the guy to the knocking. I had a feeling he had something to do with it.
I was already missing my friend so much and I wondered if he'd already forgotten all about me.
Slowly, I begin dozing off and I slept peacefully.
