You’ve been living on your own for about 5 years since moving out of your parents house and it’s been going pretty good and smoothly well up until the last 3 years since you’ve obtained a stalker.

He’s not aggressive or anything, he just watches from afar. It’s always been creepy and weird but you’ve never felt unsafe like your life was in danger when you knew he was watching.

It’s your mothers birthday today so you decide to go home and celebrate with her. Over dinner you talked about living alone and how it was until your mom asked if you had a boyfriend. You were silent for a while before saying yes and nodding, even though it wasn’t true you just didn’t want her nagging you the rest of your stay.

A few hours later after dinner you get a text from the same number that’s been texting you for 3 years, your stalker. “So I’m your boyfriend now, am I, love?” He asks, sounds like he heard you conversation with your mother
