serious but then he got worse, calling me, sending me stuff. He showed up at my dorm the beginning of October acting like nothing had changed, like we were still dating. It freaked me out. My brother finally found out about it and said something to him. He stopped for a while but I guess it’s started again.”
     
    He let out a laugh, “I guess you just have that effect on people, making them crazy.”
     
    I sighed and shook my head. “I broke up with him last May. It’s been almost a year and he’s still at it.”
     
    “ He comes near you again I want you to tell me.” He said, repeating his words from earlier.
     
    I looked over at him; he was looking straight ahead with a murderous glare in his eyes.
     
    “ Don’t worry about it. He’s my problem not yours. I think I can handle it.”
     
    I didn’t want anyone else to deal with my baggage, especially Eric. He’d already helped me out of a jam once before, I’d hate to see what he would ask for in return if he had to help me again.
     
    “ I know you don’t like me, and I still don’t know why exactly, but I just want you to know that if you ever need anything don’t be afraid to ask.”
     
    I didn’t say anything to his comment as I pulled into the driveway and parked next to Seth’s grey truck. Leaving all of my stuff in the car I got out and headed in behind Eric.
     
    “ Bro! Your woman’s here!” Eric called out into the house.
     
    “ His woman? Are you a heathen or something?”
     
    Eric rolled his eyes before going into the kitchen and I followed him in, sitting down at the table. A few second later Seth came up behind me and wrapped his arm around me kissing my temple. “What are you doing here?”
     
    “ Bad day. Eric talked me into leaving and coming here.”
     
    “ What happened?” he asked sitting down.
     
    Eric leaned back against the counter and took a swig of a soda he had cracked open. He nodded for me to tell Seth about Chris but I was afraid to tell him in fear I was going to scare him away.
     
    Seth looked back and forth between us. “Cameron, tell me what happened.” There was a little strictness in his tone, and he had used my full first name, something I had never heard him do.
     
    I started telling him the same thing I told Eric on the way here and then proceeded to tell him about what happened at school. He looked a little pissed by the time I was finished.
     
    “ What’s his name?”
     
    “ Chris”
     
    “ Chris?”
     
    “ Powell”
     
    He nodded looking off in the distance. I didn’t know what he was thinking but I really wanted to know. I moved my glance over to Eric and he was watching Seth intently.
     
    “ You’re not going to do anything stupid are you?” I asked Seth.
     
    “ What?” he looked back at me. “No, No. Just let Eric or me know if he bothers you again.”
     
    I agreed grudgingly before getting up and going into the living room. Seth yelled to me he was going to take a shower and that he’d be right out.
     
    There were four remotes sitting in front of me and I had no idea which one did what. I picked them all up and tried to turn on the TV as Eric came and sat beside me.
     
    “ Are we remote control illiterate?”
     
    “ Shut up” I said chunking one at him. He swatted it away and grabbed the one that was in my left hand. With a push of a button the TV was on.
     
    He held up the one I had just thrown at him, “This one changes the channel.”
     
    I grabbed it and started to flip through the channels as Eric got up and disappeared out the front door. How could someone who looked like he did be so annoying? I stopped flipping when I saw something that caught my eye and turned the volume up a little. It was the news and there was a picture of a girl on TV with her name written underneath: Lauren Steinman . I started to listen intently to what the news anchor said.
     
    “ Last night a body was found in the alley between Twenty-fifth and March. The body has been
