PART 3

A Person of Interest

Never again

My hands are shaking. This is getting to be too much. He showed up at my bus stop today. It was fucked up, and I’m not going to lie, I was a little scared. You could just kind of see something in his eyes, you know? Like, some serial killer vibes. I wasn’t alone, but you know how it is with people now. This other guy who was waiting for his own bus, he was just into his phone. Even though my ex was being real intense, demanding that I take him back, give him another chance, or whatever, this other guy just kept staring at his phone. You could tell that he was just hoping that it would all go away. He didn’t want to get involved in anything. Nobody ever wants to get really involved. You know, people seem to care a hell of a lot more about tracking their order for a new pair of shoes than what’s happening in real life, right in front of their eyes.

He tells me he can change. That we can go out more, that we can have dates, we don’t have to just Netflix and chill. He’s telling me that I have to give him another chance. Like it’s written into some kind of contract. And he hugged me. I didn’t want it, so I pushed him away, and I just ran. I was so scared. And my coworker, she’s telling me to call the police, but what am I supposed to say? My ex hugged me too hard? And it’s got me thinking, like, maybe him and Window Boo across the street are the same crazy, just different flavors. Like, all that striptease through the windows … what would he have been capable of if that had ended wrong? Like, how can he have that IN OUR AMERICA LOVE WINS bullshit in his front yard and then be a nasty peeping Tom every night?

Anyway, I went camping by myself, if you can believe that. I needed to get away from both of them. And I tell you this: NEVER AGAIN. I was DESTROYED by bugs. And when I come back, guess who’s lurking? Guess who’s somehow spied into my room? Fucking neighbor boy.

They’re both the same kind of creepy, just different volumes.
