The next morning...

I woke up and noticed that Zion wasn't  next to me. Maybe he was at an early meeting? Rehearsals that I didn't know about? I got out of bed and brushed my teeth. Today was going to be a productive day; breakfast with the girls, visiting the boys at their house and then going on a hike with all of us. Walking down the stairs, I heard the tv on.

Oh, Zion was home.

"Morning boo", I greeted, walking into the kitchen where I heard noise coming from. Ooh, daddy's making breakfast. When I entered the kitchen, it wasn't him. My heart started racing, beating in my ears. How did Benji and Monkey not see her coming in. 

"Wh- how did you come in here?" I asked, grabbing onto the table where there were a pair of scissors laying around. 

"The door." she said, with no expression on her face and she continued cooking. 

"I'm sorry, I have zero idea about who you are and why you're stalking me, but I need you to stop. You can not stalk me everywhere I go, break into my house, it makes me and my family feel really unsafe and you can end up in jail."

After these words left my mouth, she dropped the spoon she was stirring with on the counter and stared at the food in the pan for a few seconds before looking at me. 

"You're right", she finally said. "I just loved the way how you and your family were and I have nobody. I thought maybe it would be nice if I could stick around with you guys for a bit."

"Woah, woah, woah, slow down there for a bit. We don't know each other at all, you seem like someone my age, so you must have a job or something to do to get paid?? Also, I'm not homeless shelter, so you can't just barge in and expect me to give you a bed to sleep in. Sorry, that's not how it works. I would like it if you left my house and never turned back or I'm forced to get a restraining order on you."

Just like that, she said nothing and left the building.

"Fucking bitch think she can use my food and shit, hell nah." I whispered in myself and I dumped the food she was making in the carbage can and all the stuff in the dishwasher. She might have put poison in the food right? She might be psycho. 

I woke the girls up and made them ready for the day. When we left, I made sure to lock all the doors and check it twice. 

Zion couldn't believe it either. "Bro, we have to get a restraining order on her! Our house? You for real?" I nodded. "I thought she was you, so I came in real happy and shit, and I see that bitch, can you imagine how shook I was?"

We talked about it a bit as well with the boys who thought it was sad because she might just be a bit loco and have nobody in her life so we decided to not get a restraining order. After the small discussion with each other we got ready for the hike. I made some sandwiches and put fruit in our bag for when we would go on a break and have lunch, while the boys went ahead and put on their easy clothes and mountain shoes. 

Suprisingly the girls weren't tired at all when we decided to get a break. "Can't we go a bit further? We're not tired yet." Grace asked, suprising me the most since she would literally eat everything she could get when she could get it. Faith agreed.

"No, babies," I answered. "The old people are tired okay? Just please sit and eat something for now." The sighed and placed themselves at the picnic table we found and decided to sit at. Faith, of course, decided to sit next to her 'boyfriend' Austin.. uhm I mean Aussie. Grace next to Brandon. I sat next to Zion. 

We were having a nice conversation, like one big happy family when it suddenly felt like someone was watching me. I turned around, looking at the landscape behind me. No one. I turned around and ate further but that feeling still kept coming back. When I decided to look once more, before concluding if I was being paranoid or not, I saw her. She was just standing there. 

Like a freak.

"Zion", I whispered. "Zion look!" By now I was almost pinching him so hard, he could bleed. "WHat?!" he shrieked because of the pain. I looked back at the place where the lady was just standing. 

"She was standing right there, just now." I whispered, not wanting her to hear me. He turned around and looked as well. "Well I don't see anything. Are you pranking me? Stop playing, man." I shook my head heavily. "I'm not playing Zion, I'm actually really scared right now."

Zion narrowed his eyes and then smiled. "Yeah right."

"Zion!"

"Okay, okay. I believe you, but I want prove alright?" He turned around and ate furhter with the boys who looked just as confused as him. I looked back one more time and at that point I saw a strand of the woman's hear disappear behind a tree. 

"Let's just get out of here. Please."
