The days of being at home by myself passed quickly. I have been waited on hand and foot by my brother and mother. This is always nice.
Then Neenah, Scarlett and nelly came to visit me every day. This is saying allot seeing as both nelly and Scarlett live at least an hour’s drive away from where they live.
Everybody has been helping me in some way or another and I am very grateful. I don’t think there has been a day where I haven’t said that you to at least one person.
Now it’s Saturday and I’m just getting ready for the sleep over that’s at Neenah house.
It’s quite hard to pack my bag as I’m still really saw, but, I can manage. I’m one hard Popsicle. I don’t like saying cookie because…well I don’t like cookies.
I’m only packing the essentials that I need, like contacts, glassed, (yes I wear glasses, though I am nowhere near classed as a geek, you can ask the many D’s I have in most subjects.) perfume, face cream and a change of PJ’s as well as clothes for tomorrow.
Sadly I have to travel 20 minutes to walk to Neenah’s. Mum is at work so she can’t give me a lift and my brother can’t drive. Not that he would drive me anyway. If he had a car he would be long gone by now. The sad part is, when he’s gone, I don’t even get his room. Such a disappointment really.
But anyway I’m going off topic.
After I finished packing my bag, I headed downstairs. Putting my bag down by the door, I walked into the ‘pristine white’ kitchen or as I like to call it, garbage disposal, and grabbed a slice of cold left over pizza from last night. Yum, don’t you just love cold pizza?
After writing a note for my mum when she gets back, I walked back over to the door and picked my bag up.
I guess I have to start the long trek to Neenah’s house.
My legs are going to hurt after this; you could say I am not the fittest person in the world.
I opened the door, walked out and locked it behind me. Well if I have to walk I guess I should make it fun. So I began skipping down my path towards the gate to let me out into the wide open world.
2i’m off to have and adventure.’ I shouted out as loud as I could. Which I tell you, is pretty dam loud. Though doing this did cause a few weird looks from my neighbours. In return I stuck my tongue out.
Stupid people ruining my fun. So I kept skipping. It’s not my fault if those people live a normal life. They are just not allowed to ruin my wonderfully weird life.
Halfway through my journey, (about 10 minutes if my math is correct) my awesome spy skills detected a tail.
For those of you who are not spy educated, which you should be, shame on you for not learning spy 101. A tail is someone who is following you.
I was just about to pass a window of a shop, so I looked in the reflection to see this person.
It was a man, probably in his late 40’s. He was a bit grubby looking, could use a shower. He wore jogging bottoms with a dirty jacket as well as a tiny hat that looked like it was squeezing his head really tightly.
Maybe he was just going the same way as me. I kept walking for 2 more minutes to see if this man would change direction, he never did.
At this point I was starting to get worried. Surely it isn’t coincidence that he is following me?
So to see if this was a coincidence or not I decided on a detour root. I walked down an alley that would lead out onto a road with a common on the other side of it.
I got my phone out, lifted it up and looked in the reflection of the screen. If anybody walked by then they would assume I was on my phone.
I turned my phone from side to side, still looking in the reflection. He was still behind me, getting ever so slightly closer.
I need to act normal. I was just literally 1 minute away from Neenah’s now. If I could make it there quickly, the man should hopefully stop following me.
I picked up my pace ever so slightly. The faint sound of cars zooming past the end of the alley could be heard, as well as my very quiet footsteps combined with the speeding footsteps of the stranger behind me. He was going faster.
Exiting the alley I could just see Neenah’s house in the distance. Not far to go now.
With the noise of the man’s footsteps speeding up I decided there was nothing else to loose, I might as well make a run for it and hope I make it out alive.
With that thought i took off in a sprint towards my destination.
I could hear my heart thumping with adrenalin as well as the man’s feet smacking the ground as he too began the chase after me.
Running up to the door with full speed I smacked my fists against it, making the wooden door creak slightly with the pressure of my hits.
“Neenah, open the fuck up mow.” I screamed at the door.
I could hear the man footsteps getting closer as he ran for me.
Just as I thought I was going to be a goner, the door swung open revealing my saviours.
I ran inside, slamming the door shut before the man could come in after me.
I collapsed on the carpeted floor, berthing hard as if I just ran a marathon. For my body it just did. The entirety of my body was saw and painful after that ‘marathon’.
“Sam, are you alright?” asked nelly, who was crouching down beside me.
“Does it fucking look like I’m alright?” I breathed out. “Is the man gone?” I asked after a few minutes of just trying to catch my breath.
“Let me check.” Replied Scarlett. She walked to the window by the door, pulled the curtains to the left hand side and looked out.
“Yeah, he’s gone Sam.” Scarlett said. Coming back over to where I was sat on the ground.
“Thank god” I breathed. Stuff like this was happening way too much to me.
I think I should invest in some pepper spray or something. Show the bastards who’s boss.
“What happened Sam?” asked Neenah, who was still standing by the door from when she opened it. Allot of help she was there.
“I’ll tell you in a bit. Right now, I think I need a drink.” I said giving Neenah a look that clearly stated I didn’t want just any drink.
She smiled and nodded, heading into the kitchen to get my drink ready for me.
God I hope being followed or attacked doesn’t become a normal thing for me.
