A week had past and thankfully I've had no more strange presents or feelings of being followed, until this morning that was.
Sarah runs in my bedroom as I was getting dressed
"You need to get out the house now" she explains
"What you gone crazy?" I say to her
"No" she said grabbing a hoodie from my hook of my door I put it on to cover my bra as she pulls me downstairs pointing to the flowers and cup of coffee that was made with a toasted bagel on the kitchen counter with a note saying morning Brooke enjoy ps you look beautiful when you sleep X

I drop the note feeling sick and Sarah drags me outside "I've called the cops" she said as we sit down
we sit there in silence for about five minutes till a police car comes to a stop outside our house
"Oh great" I mutter seeing who got out the car yeah you got it Rick and Shane
"Good morning ladies" Shane said walking up to us "is it okay if check the property?"
Sarah nods and puts her arm around me and Rick and Shane pull out there guns and walk through the door guns raised a little while later they appear and tell us it's safe to enter the property

We walk in and I will be honest I didn't want to be in the place
"So Brooke you wanna talk about what's been happening" Rick said sitting down
"Nothings been happening" I tell them both who was sitting on the sofa I sit down nervously on the chair and Sarah sits down on the arm and puts her arm around me
"She's been getting stuff left like presents" she said explaining to the two officers
"Presents?" Shane questions her
"Yeah you know gifts" Sarah said rolling eyes at Shane
"What type of gifts?" Shane asked
"Started off as a box of chocolates and a gift bag with wine and a teddy, I also had flowers delivered to me at work"
"That it?" Shane asked
"Yeah" I nod "till today"
"No it's not" Sarah said "she got another present three days ago"
"What?" I ask her shocked looking at her as I knew nothing about it
"Yeah it was left on the porch when I left for work I opened the box and we'll look your self" she said getting up and disappearing bringing a box and handing it to Rick

Rick opens the box and I look over to him and he went a shade of red
"Well" I ask him wanting to no what was inside Shane and him look at it
I get up to see what they was looking at
"No way" I said covering my mouth seeing the black lace underwear set placed neatly in the box
"Is that your size?" Shane asks
"Does that even matter?" I ask him feeling disgusted at what was being left for me
"So you been left this stuff? Has anything else happened before this morning?"
"Well I dunno"
"You dunno?" Rick questions me
"Well on my way back to my car last week I thought I was being followed but there was no one around so I put it down to my imagination"
Shane and Rick get up to talk to the two other officers that got up and I sit and wait for them to get back
"There's no sign that they broke in so you both said you was asleep it either means they had a key or they picked the lock" Shane said to me
"Oh god. A key?" Sarah said her voice panicked
"We getting a someone out now to change the locks" Shane said looking at me
I shake my head and tears start to fall down my face
"It's going to be okay" Shane said putting his hand on my shoulder I shake my head and I turn to look at Sarah and she pulls me into a hug before pulling away
"I've got to get to work" she said "I feel awful for leaving"
"Don't go I be fine" I say wiping away tears

The locks get changed, Rick and Shane leave Shane leaves me his number incase anything happens and i get ready for work at work when I was at work I see a white van again sitting just up the road I stare at it for a second before turning away and dealing with a customer when I look back a few minutes later it was gone.

After work I head home and i go in I walk into the kitchen and grab a soda from the fridge there then was a knock on the door I walk to the door and I open it seeing an envelope on the floor I look around before picking it up walking inside and I close the door pulling out what was inside and I look at what it was they was pictures and I felt sick.
I pick up my phone and I dial the number that Shane gave me
"Hello" the voice on the end said
"Hey is that Shane?"
"Yes it is can I ask who is calling?"
"Brooke" I said crying I was absolutely petrified
"Brooke what is it?" He asked sounding concerned
"I've got another something left on my doorstep just now"
"Okay, I will be there in five" he said hanging up the phone

Shane kept to his word and was at mine in minutes I was sitting on the stairs waiting for the knock on the door and I answer it tears pouring down my face
I look at Shane swing he wasn't in his uniform
"What's been left?" He asked I walk him into the living room and I show him the coffee table pictures was laid spread out of me some was me at work some was me sleeping some was me living home
"Shit Brooke" he said bending down looking
"This person has been following me for months" I said pointing to the pictures
"Looks it" he said standing up looking at me
"You sure you have no idea who could be doing this"
No I'm serious" I said thinking "though there is this white van that I've seen twice now outside work, it was there the day the flowed got delivered at today at work"
"Can you describe it?"
"I don't know it was white a van I don't remember"
Shane gathers the pictures up and puts them in the envelope
"This are going to have to be taken in"
He said walking to the door and stop him
"Don't go"
"Brooke this is evidence"
"I get that but don't go"
"Come with me then" he said i nod my head grabbing my jacket and I follow him out the door.
