I haven't been able to sleep the past couple of nights. Just from that one encounter with that Creep has made me sick to my stomach ever since. I pretend to eat to not make my family worry, but I just can't keep anything down. There's just a creepy vibe I get from that man and it's been stuck with me since that night. I'm also still confused about the number Glenn got. Like who the hell's phone was that? My ex maybe? Ugh, someone just tell me what the FUCK is happening in my life.

Blossom keeps texting me to hang out but I'm just not feeling it. She's been texting too often, but that's because I haven't exactly replied within the last 23 messages she has sent. I'm the annoyingly fast replier so if I don't say anything back, all hell breaks loose.

I've been able to hang out with Simon, my hedgehog, more often since I can't freaking sleep. Simon must seem like a random name for a spikey creature but I was reading a book at the time called 'Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda' and I was obsessed with the main character Simon Spier. I got him when I literally finished the book so I instantly knew I wanted to call him Simon. He's been doing a pretty great job at keeping me entertained and distracted. I love this lil guy so much...

"Lia! There you are! Why don't you answer my texts?"

"What the fuck, Blossom! How did you get in?"

"The back door was open..." She sits on my bed staring at Simon.

Damn it, Dad. I told him to lock the damn door. He never listens.

"What are you doing here?" I hold Simon in my hands and let him roam the bed as I sit next to Blossom's legs.

I watch her squirm down next to me. She's always had an irrational fear of Simon. Poor Simon.

"You weren't answering like you usually do so I wanted to check in." She smiled.

"Thanks... Sorry, I just haven't been feeling myself lately." I watched Simon walk around.

"How come?" She asked as she moved further away from the bed as Simon sniffed her hair.

"Um, I don't know. I've just... been feeling funny. It's hard to explain."

She nodded before leaning over and kissing my cheek softly, "You should call Dylan. I'm sure he can cheer you up."

I rolled my eyes and sat up quickly, putting Simon back in his cage after kissing his little tummy.

"I mean it was only a suggestion."

"It's late. You should go back home before you get your ass beat." I smiled sarcastically.

"Yeah, you right." We hugged each other before I walked her out the front door, making sure all the doors and windows were locked before I buried myself in my sheets. Another sleepless night while I watch boring infomercials.

I was scrolling through my Tumblr feed when I started hearing something against my window. I stared before I realized it was the tree branches smacking against my window. I went to close my curtains before I noticed there wasn't a gust of wind outside. I pushed my window open and it was silent. No movement. That's when I notice a black figure looking toward me from across the street and not moving. I wanted to cry but didn't want to show my weakness. I run to my bed after closing the window and hide under the blanket. I don't wanna get out. I don't wanna move. I feel like they are here... watching me. Every. Single. Move. I. Make.

My phone buzzes on the nightstand which makes me slowly reach for it and pull it under the blanket with me. I see it's from an unknown number with an Audio Message attached.
