"He really is going to hurt me," Jillian realised.
"I told you! We need to call the police," Jesse insisted.
"We've already done that multiple times, they're useless unless we have an actual suspect."
"So what do we do?"
"I don't know. We wait."
"He is NOT coming into the house again!"
"We may not have a choice."
"You're placating this guy, Jill."
"Jillian, this guy is coming to kill you," Shae told her.
"Then, we're going with the same plan."
"Like hell we are!" Jesse objected.
"Okay, okay. You all wait in your bedroom until he comes, then when the time is right, just burst out and we all jump him."
"Okay, that at least sounds better," Jesse gave in with a sigh.
"It's going to be okay. I can handle him. I did last time."
"I don't think he was actually planning on hurting you last time, Jillian," Shae pointed out.
"Regardless. We're doing it tonight."

Later...
1:00am
Jillian sat on her bed silently waiting for the Admirer to come in.
Come on...
*bang*
Was that something?
I hear footsteps.
*BANG BANG*
Is that banging?
I shouldn't leave my room...
Slowly... her bedroom door creaked open.
The Admirer stood there staring at her, not saying anything.
"I've been waiting for you," Jillian told him.
The Admirer walked slowly towards her.
He shut the door behind him, not breaking eye contact.
"Why have you been doing this to me?"
No answer.
"Still going to be a coward?"
No answer.
"Do I have to try to take your mask off by force again?"
He shook his head.
The Admirer pulled off his mask.
"NO!"
