After I finished getting my groceries, I got home and entered my apartment.
I closed the door behind my back and put the groceries in the kitchen.
It felt good having a day off. I could just relax and do my own things.
Sometimes I had to clear my mind, because I was always busy with other people's problems.
I let myself fall on the couch and closed my eyes in peace.
I was relaxing until I heard a knock on my door. I wasn't expecting anyone.
I slowly got up and walked up to the door. I hesitated before I opened up the door. What if it was some kind of creep? I didn't always feel save all alone in my apartment.

I slowly opened the door and when I saw him, my mouth dropped open without saying anything.
It was Arthur.
"Hello Ma'am.", he said with a low voice. 
I bit on my lip before saying something. I was a bit scared of him since the last time I've seen him.
I had no idea he was actually going to visit me, but he actually did. How did he know where I lived? There were so many questions running through my mind.
"H-hello Arthur.. What are you doing here?", I carefully asked him.
"I told you I was going to visit you sometime soon."
"How do you know where I live?"
"I just know things.", he said with a smirk on his face.
I felt very uncomfortable and was not sure what I should do. I wanted him to leave.
"You shouldn't be visiting my home. I request you to leave."
Suddenly he started laughing really loud and uncontrollably.

I got scared of his sudden laughing and took a step back. He entered my place, which caused me to run into the bathroom and locking myself in.
"Please, Arthur.. leave! Leave now!", I yelled while being really scared. I felt like he was going to hurt me.
I heard he was bumping his head into the bathroom door, which was a disturbing sound.
"People always want me to leave.", he aggressively screamed.
"Oh god.. oh god help me..", I whispered.
"I am not going to hurt you, Ma'am. I won't..", I heard him say on the other side of the door.
The bumping stopped.
"I just wanted to see you smile.. Open the door, please."
I heard that his behavior changed again so I slowly opened the bathroom door..
