last night, I went out for a meal with girlfriends and for the first time in years caught a bus.
Long story but had to get lift to the nearest bus stop and lift back from bus stop at 11.
so, on way home I was the only person on the bus and last minute this man gets on too.
empty double decker bus and he comes and sits right behind me.
well, Im just wondering what (generalisation I know) you guys would do?
would you have gone and sat in an otherwise empty bus, right behind a lone female?
He didnt speak but I could see him in corner of my eye, leaning on the back of my seat looking at me.
Hey, if he had cracked a joke, said hello, or something to appear less scary, maybe it would have been ok.
But no, he just watches, no smile, just .. looking.
I think its okay because there is a driver on the bus so Im safe.
Then I get off at my stop which is isnt in a town.
He gets off too. its like a horror story and I feel scared.
No signal on mobile.. where the hell is my lift home?
He stands there and flicks his lighter over over over.
I cant see him properly but I can see the little flame.
I can smell him and I hear him breath, jesus I dont know how because my heart is going like a steam train.
My hands are sweating and I think Im going to be sick.
Why does he not go I wonder and why does he stand so close?
I try to appear confident... difficult when it is black dark and no houses for at least a mile.
I feel mad with myself for going on the bl oody bus in the first place.
(but I live in a safe area)
Bloo dy hell, this is why I didnt take the train, thought it safer on the bus.
My lift arrives and Im shaking as I open the door, this man turns to me and laughs hysterically as I climb into the car.
I tell hub today(he was working so couldnt collect me and hadn realised arrangements)and kids at mams.
Hub mad that I go on the bus. He says that last year a woman was followed on the bus near to us and raped and left for dead.
hubby says that if he is walking behind a lone woman he crosses over away from her and doesnt stand close to try to reduce her fears.
Ok.. so Im still here to tell the tale but it was scary.
Incidently,(from enquiries made ) this guy got back on the next bus!
IM not doing late buses again.
