A Pair Of Eyes

"Terrance...have you taken your meds yet..?"

"...meds?"

Enne sighed. He took out a bottle of pills out of the drawer next to us.

"Your meds. Don't tell me you forgot to take them this morning..."

"I... completely forgot."

"Terrance—you can't continue being like this."

"I know—I just keep forgetting to take them-"

Enne clicked his tongue as he looks down to the ground.

"....I'm sorry."

"No. I'll remind you to take them whenever you're done with your breakfast."

I felt bad for Enne. It's like I'm still a child...I don't want that.

"You don't...have to do that--"

"No. If you don't take your meds daily, this'll get worse."

Enne let out a soft sigh.

"I'll try my best.."

Enne picked up the cup of coffee I bought and took a small sip. I stood up and walked my way to the sink as I take the pills.

I can't swallow.

It went quiet in the house after that situation. I was tired, I headed to my room and sat on my bed. The temperature was not hot nor cold. It was okay, but at the same time I feel like something's wrong.

Something's off, out of place...I don't know what it is—but that doesn't matter. What matters more is...

...is someone watching me or not? This isn't the first time. I felt this feeling a few times. I never told Enne about it, I mean—what's the point if he's not gonna believe me anyway.

I checked out my window and looked at the other window across the road. I saw someone's head, faced straight towards my window..or me. His face seemed really familiar, but I can't quite to put a finger on it.

It creeped me out, now that I just found out why I was feeling like this. I want to tell Enne about this, but as I said. I just found out why I felt like this. I'm not fully sure if the person was actually watching me, staring at me, or just looking at a blank space. He was an old man anyway.

There's nothing wrong with spacing out, especially when you're old. But I noticed something odd about his face. His eyes were wide open...and His pupils were small. His eyes were staring right at me—eye to eye.

It creeped me out a little, but I just let it slide. I walked back at my bed and laid on my back. A big sigh escaped my lips as I close my eyes.

"Taking a nap already?"

I heard Enne's voice next to me. His voice was soft and his tone was gentle. Whenever he does that, It would always put me in ease.

"I'm tired..."

"I know. I just need to inform you that I might get home late. It's my boss's birthday, me and the others are gonna have dinner together tonight."

"...alright. But can you please go straight home after the dinner party or whatever?"

"Sure. I'll be leaving now."

"Alright.."

"Goodnight."

Enne pat my head. It made me feel soft bodied, but the feeling of being watched still lingered.
