He Still Showed Up
My ex would follow me from my house, my job, etc., and I didn’t even realize it for a long time. When I finally felt ready to get back out there, I went out with a guy to a concert. I didn’t advertise this anywhere, nor mention it to anyone aside from my family, who hated him and wouldn’t have told him.
He showed up at that concert and made a scene. The next night he showed up at my bedroom window, begging me to let him in so we could talk. When I threatened to call the authorities, he punched my window in and then ran.
After filing a report, the officers looked around to ensure the coast was clear before taking off. The following day, I was leaving for work and saw something dangling from my rain gutter. Upon closer inspection, my blood ran cold. I saw that it was my ex’s set of headphones.
It had appeared they got caught on the gutter when he jumped down from the roof at some point. I got a ladder to retrieve them and found what was basically an abandoned campground on my roof, directly above my bedroom. I had no idea how long he was sleeping there, but it still gives me chills.
After finding that, I filed a restraining order, which he broke multiple times before leaving the state. Story credit: Reddit / MoveMeWithASound
