Theres a jitter in my palms i just cant explain. Im not sure if its from the fear of the person who was behind me or the curiosity of why my brother was behind me staring into my soul. After a long moment of awkward silence and a staring contest between me and my brother he finally breaks the silence.
My brother says "Why are you shaking and sweating?" I respond with "sorry i was just rushing to get home thought i saw something scary!" My brother gives a weird grin before he smiles and says dinner is on the oven go ahead and eat and he heads up stairs. Maybe i was wrong about him and he had nothing to do with whats going on but none the less i head to kitchen and eat.
After i eat i head upstairs and shower before i head to bed. As im about to get in bed i notice a paper on my desk, its folded up so i know i didnt leave it there. I open the paper and read the words in shock! The note says "It was nice seeing you tonight, i cant wait to catch up again!". I drop the note wondering if it couldve been my brother playing a joke on me but he would never go this far. I try to forget about the note and head to sleep trying to forget this whole day.
The next morning i wake up, shower, and get dressed. I take a pause when i see the folded note when i had wished i was just dreaming last night, but i just ball the note up and throw it away. I head downstairs to meet up Taylor to head to school when my brother stops me and says "Hey bro have a good day at school and dont go near any strangers today" before he heads into the kitchen. I pause wondering what he meant by that, could he have known about the stranger chasing me last night or was he just concerned about how i came in last night? I head out to meet Taylor with my head on a swirl and my mind racing.
We head to school and Taylor asks "is something wrong?" I look at her and say just tired couldnt really sleep last night. She looks at me with an uneasy look almost like she can tell im hiding something. She just nods and says ok will today will be a better day than yesterday. I feel so terrible for not telling Taylor what happened after i left her house last night but how do you tell your girlfriend the potiential killer whos been murdering everyone might have chased me from your house lsst night. Either way i know what im doing is for her protection.
When i get to class my teacher says they need to see me in the office. I ask why and shes says she doesnt know but i should hurry up and get there it sounded important. I head to the office when im walking and look out the window to my left to see someone in all black looking dead at me from outside i turn to see if anyone is around me but when i look back outside the person is gone. Maybe im just feeling over the edge after yesterdays encounter.
I get to the office and i see a therapist waiting for me. She says hey im the school therapist and i just want to talk to you for a little bit. When we walk into her office she informs me that my brother had called her and asked if she could speak to me because he thinks i havent been ok the last couple of weeks since hes been back. She says " if there is anything you want or need to talk about anything im here for you!" I just respond with "no im ok just a little tired had a rough night last night." She lets me know she will be meeting with me twice a week from now on and that this is a safe place to talk about anything nessecary. I just agree and ask if i can go back to class and she says ok but come back if anything changes.
After school i meet up with Taylor and ask her if we can go to the park instead of going straight back home. She says "ok lets do it!". When we get to the park we walk around for a bit before we sit down and start talking. As shes speaking i cant help but feel a horrible feeling in my gut as if we're being watched but in that moment i stop her and say Taylor i need to tell you something. She stops talking and says "whats up?" I pause for a moment wondering if i should tell her everything when all of a sudden the words flow out of my mouth like a waterfall "I love you Taylor and i really wanna spend the rest of my life with you!" Even though i know i meant those words i really wanted to tell her everything but i couldnt.
After the park we head back to Taylors house and i walk her to the door give her a kiss and say goodbye. I walk back thinking about how crazy today was and wondering why my brother would call my therapist but more than that why i couldnt escape this feeling that i have been being watched all day. I get back to the house and notice all the lights are off which is weird. I start walking through the house to find no one here until i hear a noise upstairs! I walk up the stairs in the darkness wishing i was smart enough in the moment to turn the lights on. When i get upstairs i head towards my room and when i open the door i blurt out a scream that almost shatters the glas on my windows.
