He's Just So Ugh...

6

I step out of the car and walk in. I look around and look down at my phone. I see I got a message from Stacy saying she's by the left window in the back. I look up and to my left and see someone waving at me. I smile and walk over and take a seat.

"Hi Ella it's so nice to meet you!"
I shake her hand.

"It's nice to meet you too! And you can call me May, I usually go by that." She nods her head and we sit down and we start talking.

"So I'll be gone by the time you get there, we leave early after my 2 boys go to school, so you just have to be there around 5 since he goes to daycare afterwards. And don't worry about picking him up he rides the bus home. I'll give you our spare key and leave the car seat at the house so you have the things. Uh...oh! I'll also leave some cash so you can buy food, but we just went shopping to I think we should be fine, also if you know how to cook. I would let my older boy babysit his own brother of course but he's grounded from me catching him sneak out of the house and come back at 4 in the morning on a school night high on whatever, probably weed. He'll be in his room all weekend, I have his phone that he will get back Sunday. You just have to keep an eye on him so he doesn't try leaving. I think you go to school with him too.

"So anyways about Ben, he's 5 years old and loves dinosaurs and swimming. So I suggest you bring a swimsuit, we have a pool in our backyard he loves it. Um he isn't allergic to anything, and hes a boy so well, he'll eat just about anything. There isn't a bedtime since its the weekend but he usually passes out about 10-11 and I have a guest bedroom he'll probably show you when he gets there. And yeah I think that's about it? Anything you need to know or want to ask?"

I nodded my head as I fidget with my fingers under the table. "Uh nope I think you answered all of them." She nodded her head and we talked a little more about Ben and then we left. I breathed out when I got into my car. I grip the steering wheel and look at my phone.

I grab it and open my messages, I decide to message Colbie, 'So where do you want to plan on meeting?'

I then wait and when he doesn't reply right away I open the message from Ryan, 'Have fun babysitting, it's going to be so funny once you figure out who the smoker boy is, ily babe please message me or something will happen, I don't like being left on read.'

I feel chills going down my body. Please tell me it isn't Ryan or I'm fucking screwed. I start my car and drive home. Once I'm almost home when my phone dings and I look at it to see if it was Colbie. It was.

'Yeah sure, want to meet at Holiday Park?' I texted him sure and luckily my house is only like 2 blocks away from there. I texted my dad that I'm hanging with Syd and that I'll text him when I'm leaving, he messaged back ok.

I get to the park and look around from Colbie. I see someone walking to the right of me and see its Colbie. Wait Colbie lives by here? Maybe he just got dropped off or his car is parked someplace else. I hope out the car and walk up to him. "Hey!" I say waving.

He waves back and says hey. We go over and sit on the swings since the park is pretty much empty. "So, what's going on with the stalker situation?" He says.

"Uh well I think, well now I know who it is and so it's just even creepier knowing who it is, and I may have to babysit his brother this weekend and he'll be there so I, I just don't know." I say slightly chuckling and looking down.

"Hey its ok just breath, who is it?"

"I can't tell you even if I wanted to Colbie." I look at him, he's already looking at me. I look back at the floor, watching my feet kick the wood chips.

"Why, is it like if you tell me I die kind of way or...?" I laugh.

"No, well I hope not. It's. It's one of your friends." He stops swinging and looks at me.
