Well, I just had to endure 45 minutes of hell :yikes: I told you guys how Arielle finally realized Jake was not a good boyfriend for her. She's been avoiding him since Friday because she hasn't had a chance to give him his "dear John" letter she wrote him last night breaking it off with him.

He figured it out when he went to her myspace account and she blocked him and deleted all the things about him off her page. He started calling over and over again. She had her friend Kelly sleep over here last night and when Kelly went home this afternoon... TJ drove Arielle to her other friend Britney's house for the night. She's finally spending time with her friends and not him. So, I'm the only one home and I'm in my ratty old night gown because it was a lazy Saturday kind of day for me.

I'm sitting at my computer reading some posts here on chaz and all of a sudden my doorbell is ringing like crazy. It took me about 10 seconds to realize it was Jake. I ignored the doorbell that never seemed to stop ringing until he moved onto banging on all the windows on the front of the house calling her name and making a big scene out in my front yard. :rolleyes:

This went on for about 20 minutes and I thought he finally gave up. Next thing I know he walks in my back door :yikes: The front door had been locked but he tried to get it open. It was obvious he was not welcomed in the house or I would have answered the **** door!

I quickly shut the computer room door and locked it. I didn't want him to know it was me home alone in the house because if he knew it wasn't Arielle behind the locked door he would have gone searching for her at her friends houses and I was fearful of her safety at that point because he was obviously unstable at this time. He went rummaging through her room and then had the balls to shove something in the lock and jimmy it open and try and push his way forcefully through the door I am leaning my full body weight against to keep him out. I'm a big girl and he's a skinny little thing.. I don't know where he mustered up the strength to get that door part way open and slide me backward across the carpet.

Thankfully I got enough strength up to slam the door shut again and managed to get it locked and then held onto the door knob as tight as I could to keep him from unlocking it again. At the same time I'm still leaning all my weight against the door. He kept trying to get in there and was getting madder and madder. He was slinging the "F" bomb around and then he punched the door when he couldn't get it open.

Then he proceeds to pick up the box of stuff she packed up of his and threw it across her room and trashed her room. I'm sure there's broken stuff under the mess... I just left it there. Oh, did I forget to mention that in the middle of all this drama he pauses long enough to say "oh, I think your dogs just got outside" He knows fully how much we love our dogs and they mean the world to us and we don't ever let them loose. He figured he would say that and she'd open the door.. which she would have if it had been her home here and not me. I saw through his little manipulative game and pretty much called his bluff as I prayed to God the dogs were still safely in the house. I chose to completely ignore him and his comments.

I had been calling TJ on my cell phone but kept silent. He could hear the commotion in the background and knew something was wrong and came right home. But he called the house phone when he lost his signal on the cell phone to me and Jake saw that it was TJ calling and he decided he'd better get out of the house. But just as Jake was heading down the driveway leaving TJ came home and confronted him. It wasn't until TJ came in the house that he knew what had all happened.

I am so ticked right now. He trespassed into MY HOME. He made me feel unsafe in my own home :( I was actually fearful of this skinny wimpy boy... the rage he had in his voice and his behavior scared me. My arms were even trembling as I held that door shut.

I requested a sheriff out to the house and told them what happened. I'm not certain if he took anything other than the stuff he may have bought her. But they said we could file burglary/trespassing charges against him even if he didn't take anything because he entered the home. He went through a gate and through my backyard to get to the back door that was unlocked. But as soon as he entered the property knowing he wasn't a welcomed guest he broke the law.

So, we could have had him arrested... but I didn't. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that it was his emotions getting the best of him. I did, however, have the sheriff contact him right there on the spot and basically read him the riot act and let him know how close he came to going to jail and if he even as much as stepped on a blade of grass on our property that he would go to jail. And that they can keep this report an open case for 2 years and file charges against him anytime during that 2 years if he refuses to obey the orders to stay away.

So, now I have to contact the officer at the high school and let him know what's going on and have him keep a close eye out for any harrassment or stalking behavior from him. I don't trust him... he's libel to do something to Arielle because he is truly obsessed with her and has the attitude that "if I can't have her, no one can" I'm worried for her safety.

Sounds to me like you NEED to FILE THAT REPORT AND TAKE OUT A RESTRAINING ORDER!

This is a kid who sounds like he could be dangerous, Nancy. And he also vandalized your home.

I'm glad you're safe but you really should have had him arrested. The **** he did is absolutely uncalled for and ridiculous. He's a punk and deserves to be treated like one.

You should have...i would have had him arrested. What he did was break the law, which he obviously knew he was doing. Facing that now might keep him from being as stupid to someone else in the future, as it is, he got away with it.

Well, the sheriff that came out to the house leaned more towards giving him a stern verbal warning and threat of being arrested rather than putting him in jail at this point. He said that arresting them after a recent break up often causes the problem to worsen. He said to give him the opportunity to abide by what the sheriff told him and if he violated it at all that he's pay the consequences by going to jail. The officer at the high school is the one that will deal with the restraining order issues if he harasses her or stalks her in any way shape or form. So, I took his advice and did what he suggested.. I hope I did the right thing. Now I'm thinking I didn't... waaahhh. This has never happened to us before. I just want us to be able to live our life without him in it! Grrrr... he makes me so mad.

OMG.........I am glad you are all ok!

I agree......you should have had him arrested and shown him you are SERIOUS! That was a violation of your privacy, a violation of your home, and it could have caused you a heart attack or ANYTHING with him there acting like a mad man!!

I hope you made the right choice and it all works out Nancy. (((HUGS)))

They had better follow up on the restraining order. And I would not give this punk kid one ounce of leniency after this. He violates that order by one inch, sling his ass in jail. Emotions are emotions but that went on long enough to be called premeditated by some.

Well, this isn't going to be over anytime soon. He apparently doesn't comprehend the "it's over" that was clearly displayed to him more than once. He just called the house again. I didn't answer and he didn't leave a message... but his number showed up on the caller ID. I think TJ will be making one last phone call to him to tell him once again to not call the house again. If he continues then I have no choice but to call and report him for harrassment. He's making his bed, and he's gonna lie in it and I'm not gonna feel an ounce of guilt about it.

doesn't that violate the restraining order? don't they usually include a set amount of feet away and no phone contact?

Well, there's not technically a restraining order in effect yet. He gave him a verbal warning and made it clear to him he could not step foot on this property. I guess we didn't think to include the phone calls with it. I'll find out more on Monday when I have to talk to the other officer. Gosh, I just hope he will move back to his parents house in Alabama and move on and forget about her.

Wow! I am very glad you're ok. I sincerely hope that after all this Arielle doesnt feel bad for him and go back on her decision. What was he trying to do?

The SAME thing happened to my mom when she was 18. She broke it off w/ a psycho boyfriend and he would park outside her house, follow her places, and call her all the time and go up to her work and yell at her in the middle of the store and make a hug scene. She eventually went to live with her aunt in a different state for a few reasons but mainly to get away from him and start fresh and be more "on her own" since she was 18. Getting away was the only thing that stopped the harrasment and stalking.

What is wrong with society when you think there is a chance in hell of living through being caught uninvited in someones home?

Well, Jake called TJ on his cell phone after he called here and got no answer. He apologized to him for everything and TJ stood his ground and told him he was not to call again and not to have anything to do with Arielle. And that if he caught wind that he was causing trouble for Arielle in the slightest way that he would have to deal with him and he'd go to jail for beating the crap out of him. Jake has always been afraid of TJ ... so I know he knows he serious when he said that. He said he would not call again and would not cause any trouble for her. I have my doubts that he means what he says...but we'll find out soon enough. I'm still going to talk to the school officer and do what I have to do to assure her safety.
