I couldn't sleep at all that night I keep thinking I'm going to look up and he's going to be right in front of my bed ready to murder me.

I know I should tell aunt Lora but she'll think it's all in my head it might be but I still got a knife from the kitchen and brought it to my room just in case.

"Morning Jess" aunt Lora says with her normal morning excitement

"Morning" I didn't sleep at all last night I know I look like crap I really don't want to go to school today and deal with people but then I don't want to stay here all by myself either

maybe I could skip school and go to the library but if aunt Lora found out she would be upset with me and ask why I didn't go.

"You sleep okay last night?" She asks me while I pour me the biggest cup of coffee

"Like a baby" I tell her

"I'm sorry I was home so late last night"

"It's okay" I shrug

"But it's going to be like that for awhile" great so I'm going to be alone more

"O-okay" I say drinking my coffee

"Is that okay?"

"Yeah no problem" I give her a fake smile

"Okay well I better go I'll see you tonight" she says grabbing her things

"I'll walk out with you" I say not wanting be here alone even for a minute

School went by way too fast I never thought I would say that.

On the way home I googled things about ghosts someone said something about get a spirit board but I don't think that's a smart idea I've seen to many horror movies.

I don't know maybe my minds just playing tricks on me I think as I walk up my front porch steps

I take a deep breath and unlock the door and walk in the house everything is normal and quiet

I close the door and set my bag on the couch I walk up to the basement door and put my ear on it trying to hear if there's any noises but I don't hear anything I let out a shaky laugh and grab my bag walking to my room I stay in there for awhile but I get thirsty and make myself go downstairs to the kitchen

I grab a bottle water I hear the floors creak

"It's it your head, its in your head" I whisper to
myself then the creaking stops

"Is someone there? come out" I say and if no one comes out I know I'm just going crazy but then I see a person shoe and I look up to see the boy from yesterday
