It didn't take me long before I noticed that the black SUV was following us. "Hey Lilly..." I said worry filling my voice. "What's up, Tyler?" she asked with concern in her face. "I think that car is following us. They keep making every turn we make." I told Lilly, hoping she would listen to me. Of course, she didn't, though. Apparently, I was just thinking too much.
At that point, I was anxious. I felt like maybe I could be getting set up by Lilly and whoever is in this SUV. If not that, then Lilly was just plain blind to the whole thing.
"Lilly they are, they make every turn we make. Are you not seeing this?" I started yelling at Lilly. "Maybe they live where I'm dropping you off at," Lilly replied, trying to find a solution that made enough sense for me to calm down. "I highly doubt that bullshit Lilly, pull over to a gas station," I order Lilly. At this point, I had a weird feeling, and I wasn't going to ignore my gut like I've been doing with her. This was just getting too creepy.
Lilly pulled over to the next gas station only about five minutes up the road from when I told her to pull over. She pulls up to the gas pump, and I take my seat belt off. I look back and follow the black SUV as it keeps on going past where we stopped. "See Tyler, you happy? they weren't following us. I told you!" Lilly snapped. She started her car and started to pull off. "Okay, but that still was weird, Lilly," I said.
We rode the rest of the night in silence. There is nothing to really talk about or say. I was a little irritated at the fact that she didn't understand where I was coming from or agreed how weird it was. It was like she was down playing my feelings entirely, and I was, at this point sick and tired of it.
We end up back at my spot. I thought it was just a coincidence, but I could've swore I saw the same exact truck that was following us just pass by my house. "You're being delusional, Tyler," Lilly insisted. "Yeah, whatever, maybe, drive safe," I replied to Lilly, getting out of the car. she waited until I was safely in my house, where I doubled locked the front door before she pulled away.
I told my parents what had happened the next morning when we sat down for breakfast. "Well, I had a weird feeling about that girl, honey," my mother said not long after followed my father's voice, "Not that weird of a feeling though honey. Maybe Lilly is right. Stop assuming the worst Tyler. I know bad has happened, but it doesn't mean it's going to keep happening, " my father said. He could be pretty poetic at times when he wanted to be.
Of course, everyone thought it was all in my head. My parents even suggested I go to inpatient therapy. I knew I wasn't crazy though. I don't believe in coincidences. Things always happen for a reason, and they are exactly what they appear to be.
