Scary and Creepy True Stories

Lifelong Stalker

Ever since I can remember I've always lived in the same house, beside the same two neighbors. On one side it's a nice elderly man and his wife who would always let me play with their dogs, and on the other side it's an equally nice Puerto Rican family, with this family, the husband's brother lives with them. I remember whenever the grandchildren of this family would come over, we would play all day long, the brother would usually be outside with us when we would be playing, then over time as we all grew up a bit they stopped coming over as often...one thing stayed the same though, the brother would almost always be outside when I was. I can recall being in grade three and being able to walk to and from school by myself, and most of the time he would already be outside in their back yard when I would be getting home, and he would always find a reason to talk to me, but being a very shy and naive little girl I didn't find anything wrong with a man in his thirties or forties always wanting to talk to me or hang out with me, I just thought of it as me getting a new friend. He would always come right up to the fence that separated our yards and call me over, and give me a high five or pull me into a very long hug, again, none of this I found weird and neither did my parents as they never told me to stop talking to him or any of that advice that a parent may tell their young daughter.

It wasn't until I started to hit puberty, which was around grade five, that I started to get a little uncomfortable around this guy. I used to go out in the summer in a bathing suit and play with the sprinkler that my family had, but then the brother would start coming out into his yard and he would watch me, or he would ask if he could come over and play in the sprinkler with me. Like I said, at this point I started getting a little uncomfortable and I told my parents again, but their advice this time was that I shouldn't play in the sprinkler anymore. I also started making some friends at this point in time and they would come over, and the brother would come out and introduce himself to my friends and try and hug them too...needless to say, I lost most of my friends because of him. It wasn't until I made a guy friend that I really felt safe and comfortable in my yard, the brother would still come out and watch us play but he wouldn't talk to us. It was also this new friend that told me the advice I had needed from my parents for about five years, he told me to just ignore him if he tried talking to me, and I did just that and things died down for a year or two and I thought things were over. I was very wrong. There were still occasional occurrences in that year, as I was a school patrol (I helped make sure the students at my school could cross the highway safely), he would come over a couple times and hug me and his hands were quite low on my back and he would ask me questions about when I got out for lunch, and he told me how he could take me out for lunch. Thankfully one of my friends that was also a school patrol heard this, and told our principal and she had a teacher stand with me when I was on duty.

Things started up again when I was in grade seven. I had developed quite a lot and I was already attracting a lot of unwanted male attention walking to and from school at this point. One weekend, my family was having a yard sale and for a couple hours I had to watch the stuff by myself, so I invited my best friend over and we sat and laughed and had fun for a while, before the brother and the wife came over. My friend had known everything, as she has been my friend since grade one, so we both got a little uncomfortable, they looked around for a bit and bought some stuff and left. We thought that was going to be it. We were wrong again. The brother came over again only about fifteen minutes later, this time with his phone and he asked both of us for our phone numbers, our Facebooks, and our skypes. We both told him that we had none of those and he went on to tell us that he wished we did so that we could talk whenever, he also went on to tell us how we were both very beautiful and he would love to be with us. Long story short, he explained a dark and sexual fantasy and it thoroughly disgusted both of us. He asked to take pictures of us, and my friend wanting to be a model, she immediately said sure. He took many photos of us together and then he danced with both of us and had pictures taken of us dancing and then he left and we ran inside in tears and told my parents and they said we were taking things out of proportion and that my friend could go home if she was so uncomfortable but I had to stay outside. We reluctantly went back outside and I talked my friend into staying with me, we closed and locked the gate to my yard and yet again the brother came back and looked very shocked to see the gate was closed but he stood there and talked to us for awhile before leaving for good.

I am now in grade ten, and for the past three years I've avoided being outside for longer then I need to be, as well as not going  through my back yard anymore. I've seen him following me around our neighborhood in the last couple years, I just try to ignore him, but I live in fear of him. I'm counting down the days until I turn eighteen so that I can move out and not have to live beside him anymore. As of the day I am writing this there are 1, 063 days....
