The Neighbour Next Door

Chapter 8

Lauren had been here an entire hour and we've already cry laughed about three times! But something still didn't feel right, the way that that man looked at me didn't settle well for me.

I sat on my brown leather chair in my room starting at the window. The weather was grey and stormy to match how I felt inside, scary and mysterious. Suddenly Lauren walked over to me and sighed.
"Tiff, what's wrong? Ever since I came you've been acting really strange." I looked down at the floor trying not to look at Lauren's face.
"Well, I have this neighbour and every night I hear children screaming." I said stopping.
"Oh that's terrible!" Lauren said.
"I know but that's not all of it, this morning I received a video from someone who I don't know, so I opened it and someone recorded me whilst I was asleep!" I said feeling my face turn red.
"What kind of sick person would do this to you?! Have you told the police?" Lauren said giving a warm hug which made me feel a tiny bit better.
"No but if I hear any kind of screaming I'm going to investigate!" I said looking at Lauren.
"Tiff you can't! What if the neighbour sees you and hurts you or worse kills you?! Your safer going to the police." Said Lauren.
"And what report someone about hearing screaming? They'll probably just think it's in my head." I said back.
"Ok, but what about the video because that is serious." Lauren said making a good point.
"True, but I still want to go. You don't have to come if you don't want to." I said taking a deep breath.
"Are you crazy?! Of course I'm going to help!" Lauren said smiling.
