phil lives 8 houses away.
i still can't believe i never noticed. was he hiding from me? was he watching me? did he want me to know? why didn't he? what was he hiding?

is that why it was always him when i was walking to school, why he was everywhere i went. what did he see? was he following me?

now i can't stop looking out of my bedroom window. petal says i'm making myself ill by obsessing but i just can't stop.
i see him, am i the one that's following him?
i watch him leave his house and go to the shop.
i watch his step dad leave the house and stumble across the road back and forth. falling over. swearing at random people.
it's scary to me.

what if he knows. what if he knows i'm gay, and that i know phil. what if he knows where i live and he comes to hurt me too?
