i walked out of starbucks, but i felt like someone was watching me. i shrugged it off and continued making my way towards my car.

when i sat in my car, i immediately got a text and i rushed to check who it was. did carter text me already???

my smile soon faded away when i realized that the text was from the stupid anonymous number. ughhhh.

anon: you look cute today btw :)

i felt my heart stop as i looked around through the windows. was he following me? i slowly slid down in my seat, hiding myself. that's hella creepy. I felt my phone buzz once again and i groaned.

anon: don't hide yourself from me ;)

fuck. my breathing became heavy as i started the engine and quickly drove away. how long has he been following me? more thoughts circled my head as i made my way home.

after she drove away, probably freaked out, i walked back into starbucks and made my way to the table she was sitting at.

something caught my eye on the chair, and crazy enough it was her school id. thank god, another excuse to follow her.

i grabbed the id and glanced at it, her beautiful smile warming my heart. after i peeled my eyes away from the picture, i walked out of starbucks and hopped into my car, making my way to her house.

i parked in front of the neighbor's house to make it less obvious, and i immediately slid my hoodie on, and made my way to her front porch.

my heart began to beat faster, knowing she was on the opposite side of this door. i placed the id on the welcome mat and knocked several times before turning around abruptly and making my way back to the car.

i heard the door swing open, but i kept walking.

"hey!" she exclaimed.

her voice made my whole body stop. i stood there looking at the opposite direction, not wanting to turn around.

"who are you?" her beautiful voice spoke calmly. god she sounded like an angel. i took a deep breath and bit my lip. you had no idea how badly i wanted to turn around and run to her and kiss her softly. but i couldn't. not yet.

he was standing right there, his back away from me with a hoodie on. my stalker, the anonymous person, who was it?

"hey!" i exclaimed. i knew i startled him because he immediately stopped and froze right there, his back still turned away from me, not saying a word.

"who are you?" i breathed, a part of me was dying to know, but another was telling me to go back in my house.

he took a deep breath which caused my heartbeat to accelerate. he then looked down at his feet, probably not knowing what to do.

"it's okay." i started. "you can tell me." i breathed as i took a few steps forward. my brain was telling me to run back to my house and get out of there, but my heart wanted to know who this was.

i took a few more slow steps, and soon i was a few inches away from his back. okay this was probably a bad idea but fuck it.

i swallowed hard as i put my hand on his shoulder, his body tensing at my touch. i immediately regretted the decision and removed my hand off his shoulder.

"it's okay. you can tell me." she breathed, causing chills to go down my spine. okay maybe i can tell her? she says it's okay...no no you can't justin, you'll ruin everything. not now. i heard her take a few steps closer, her shoes crunching on the rocks. fuck i need to get out of there before i break.

before i had a chance to leave, i felt a hand being placed on my shoulder, causing me to tense up in surprise. oh my fucking god, she's touching me. she quickly pulled away, probably after feeling my muscles tense up.

i licked my lips debating whether i should make a run for it or turn around and hug her. god why did she make this so fucking hard. i sighed and stood up straight, looking straight forward.

"i'm sorry." i whispered as i began to run towards my car, fast.

"no please, wait! i'm sorry!" she shouted as her voice cracked. "please!"

my heart broke as i reached my car and got inside. go back go back go back. no justin you dumbfuck. drive. i killed the engine and quickly drove away, my heart slowly breaking from what i had just done.

i sighed as i watched him drive away. great, now i'm never gonna find out who that idiot is. i'm screwed.

i shook my head in disappointment as i made my way back to the door, immediately spotting my student id on the ground. what the hell?

i furrowed my eyebrows and kneeled down to pick it up. my eyes widened as i soon realized what had happened. he came here to return it, i must've left it in starbucks.

i bit my lip as i quickly grabbed it and walked back into my house. i had the entire house to myself for a week because my mom was out of town for work. well that's gonna be a blast now isn't it, considering i have a stalker that follows my every move and knows where i live...
