Alyssa: panting W-w-we gotta g-go! Now!
frowning What did you do now, sis?
Alyssa: Look, I didn't do anything okay? I just wanted to get away from him for a while. Can't you see he's been following me?
Alyssa: pulls away No! Don't touch me! You don't understand! He's been stalking me, harassing me! I need space! I need to get away from him! Can't you see that?!
he is holding back on your hair why is he following you?
Alyssa: frustrated Why can't you just let me go?! I don't owe you any explanations!
calm down. so he is following you?
Alyssa: takes a deep breath Yes, he's been following me! He won't leave me alone! He keeps showing up everywhere I go! In the grocery store, the park, even at my own house!
Alyssa: rolls her eyes His name is...is... Ugh! I don't even know his name! I've been avoiding him for weeks, and I haven't had the chance to find out.
so, this guy has been bothering you for weeks?
Alyssa: crosses her arms Yeah, he's been harassing me for months! He won't leave me alone! He shows up everywhere I go!
he could work with someone right?
Alyssa: snaps No! I don't want anyone's help! I can handle this on my own! I don't need some knight in shining armor coming to my rescue!
okay. then if you need help you can come to me. i live right next door
Alyssa reluctantly accepts her brother's offer for help and starts working together to figure out how to get her stalker to leave her alone
holds onto your hair still
pulls away forcefully Let go of me! I don't need your help! I can handle this on my own, understand?!
Alyssa: pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate the offer, but this is something I need to deal with on my own.
its okay. you have to promise me that if it gets worse you will come to me. okay?
Alyssa: sighs, looking into her brother's eyes Fine, I promise. If things get worse, I'll come to you for help. But don't expect me to stay quiet and let him bother me forever. I won't stand for it.
thats good. now we should probably get going before he comes back
Alyssa: takes a deep breath Okay, fine. We'll go. But don't think this means I've given up on myself.
Alyssa: stands tall, determination in her eyes Listen, brother, I appreciate your concern, but I won't let this stalker control my life.
Alyssa: grabs her brother's arm and pulls him towards the door Come on, let's get out of here before he finds us. We need to figure out a plan to make him leave me alone for good.
Alyssa: paces back and forth Okay, we need to come up with a plan. We need to make him realize that he can't keep following me.
we should make a trap for him so we can call the police
Alyssa: pauses, thinking A trap? That could work. We can set a trap for him and then report him to the police.
Alyssa: grins mischievously Alright, let's do this. We'll set up a fake meeting at a cafe and catch him in the act. Then, we'll call the police and put an end to this once and for all.
Alyssa: grabs her phone and starts typing I'm setting up a fake meeting at a cafe near his usual hangouts.
Alyssa: dials a number on her phone Hello, this is Alyssa. I need your help with something important. Can you meet me at the cafe on 5th Street in 20 minutes? It's urgent. Caller: Sure, I'll be there. What's going on?
Alyssa: rushes into the cafe, scanning the room There he is! He's sitting at that table in the corner, wearing a jacket and a cap. I'm going in.
Alyssa: approaches the man's table, trying to keep her composure Excuse me, are you the person I spoke to on the phone?
Alyssa: whispers to her brother Stay close and be ready to act when I give you the signal. We're about to catch this stalker red-handed.
Alyssa: sits down across from the man, placing a hidden recorder on the table So, tell me, why have you been following me around? What do you want from me? Man: nervously I...I didn't think you'd show up. I just wanted to talk...to have some company. Alyssa: feigns interest Oh, really? And what makes you think I'd want anything to do with you? Man: shifts uncomfortably I...I don't know. I guess I just needed someone to talk to. Is that so wrong? Alyssa: leans in closer, feigning curiosity Well, I suppose it's not wrong to want someone to talk to. But you've been following me for weeks now. It's a bit creepy, don't you think? Man: defensive I didn't mean to creep you out. I just...I just wanted to be friends. Can't we just be friends? Alyssa: laughs sarcastically Friends? You think we can be friends after all this? You've been stalking me, invading my personal space, and now you expect me to be friends with you? You're del
Alyssa: smirks triumphantly Looks like the party's over, buddy. Time to face the consequences of your actions.
