The Neighbor

Chapter Thirteen: The Girl Next Door

Davina took a step back and a took a moment to admire her work she finished. A minute later Tyler rushed in and stop in front of the stairs. "Davina!!"
Davina rushed down the stairs. "Tyler!"

"What is it?! Are you okay?!!" Tyler said touching her shoulders looking at her up and down.

"Look I have to show you something." Ignoring his questions. She took an article out she was holding in her hand. "Look read the first couple of sentences out loud." She gave the article to him. Tyler took the article and read the title out loud. "'Girl Gets Kidnapped by Neighbor'... Davina what the hell is this?! What are you trying to tell me??"

"Just read Tyler, if you wanna know why I called you. Just read."

Tyler didn't feel like arguing so he just did it. "Taylor Kennings was a normal teenage girl just like any other teenage girl. Then one day, she was home alone then decided to look out the window. She got her binoculars and looked to her next door neighbors window. She noticed he was watching. She gathered up information about this. Three days days later she went missing, and her whole house was burned down. She was nowhere to be seen, until Christmas. A horrible tragedy happened. She was found dead with blood on her wrists and ankles from how she was tied up. We found small cuts on the edges of her mouth to her ears. Her mouth was tied up with rope. Cuts and bruises all over her body. Her parents found her stabbed in the chest on their doorstep." Tyler stopped reading and looked at Davina. "Davina are you trying tell me that he's watching you?!"
"Yes."

"How do you know?!"

"I was doing the same thing she was doing. I went upstairs and got my camera and zoomed really close and I saw his telescope. It was pointing to my bedroom."

"Let me see."
Davina rushed back upstairs and got her camera and gave it to Tyler. He looked out the window facing the house across the street. He zoomed in as much as he could. As he was looking at the screen, he asked "which window is it?"
"The top one." He looked at the window as much as he could. "Davina... I don't see anything.. Are you sure about this??"

"Yes! I swear!"

"Davina I promise you I don't see anything. I'm starting to think.. Are you okay?" Tyler said looking down at her. "I'm fine. Tyler you have to believe me! I saw his telescope! He was watching me!! Why are you defending him?!"
"I'm not defending him!! I'm just saying... Maybe you should just go to bed"

"Tyler I promise he's watching! Look come with me! There's something I have to show you." Tyler sighed and followed. The moment she opened the door Tyler's eyes got wide. "Oh my God."
