Somebody Is Watching

Chapter 4

I called the police I was terrified. When the police officer got there I told him what had been going on. The only thing he did was file a report. That is all he could do. I was so scared at that point. Who ever this person was wanted to get my attention and did. After the police officer left Shannon just sat on the couch with me in silence. Me"What do we do?" S"You heard what the cop said. There really isnt anything you can do." I felt stuck. Was this person going to hurt me? Or worse? I was up the rest of the night and tried to write. I was too distracted. Finally I took some medicine and knocked out. When I woke up Shannon was asleep beside me. When he woke up he smiled at me and kissed me. Me"Im sorry you have to deal with this too. If you want to leave me I understand." S"Listen, this isnt your fault. I love you. A lot. I would never leave you." I felt guilty he had to deal with this. Me"Thank you, Shan. I love you too." The next day I had to meet with an artist at the studio. I was nervous. I was scared to even leave the house. I ran to my car and locked the doors as soon as I got in. I drove to the studio and walked in as fast as I could. After the meeting I went back home. I would just work from home again. Shannon had to leave for a few hours for a band rehearsal. When he was leaving he said "lock the doors and do not answer for anyone." When he left I locked every door and stayed in the office. I was so scared the guy would come back. I was messing around on the piano when I heard a huge crash upstairs. I froze. My first reaction was to start crying but that wouldnt do any good. I calmed myself down and quietly went outside to my car. I grabbed my keys and drove down the road and called the police again. When they arrived at our house they went upstairs and looked around. The police officer came back downstairs and said "it looks like the person got in the window and accidently knocked over a lamp." Me"Oh my god." Shannon pulled up right then and rushed over to me. The police officer told him what happened. S"What the fuck?! You guys need to look into this a little more." The officer knew he was upset and said "Why dont you guys come down to the station and meet with one of our detectives. This could be a very serious situation." I was so scared. Why was this happening to me?
