My cousin started to get obsessive/creepy

I (17F) goes to school away from where my family lives, in the few years I lived in an apartment with my sister until she got married, when she got married i started to live alone, I was 16 around that time and my family get worried a lot about me. I have an uncle who lives here , they have 3 children, since 2 of them are adults,they work far away from home ,and the youngest studies in a boarding school,so my uncle and his wife lives alone​.Since life was hard because living in a dorm alone cost a lot, I asked if I can live with them, they said yes. I have a few problems there but decided to keep quiet coz well..im just living there,until maybe around 7 months into living there, my cousin who went in boarding school drops ​​​​​​out. At first it was normal,I was normally introverted so we don't talk much,until just a few months aagoi started to feel something weird about him. My room was separated but the door was not to be locked coz the comfort room was inside my room, I'm a deep sleeper so I don't usually wake up when someone touches me, only until someone shakes me ofc. So a few months ago,I started to wake up in the middle of the night because I feel uncomfortable,and every time I wake up, I wake up into him into my room, sometimes he's lying down on my lap, which explains why I wake up coz he's heavy, I didn't suspect anything coz well.. We're cousins, until I keep waking up in the same situation in the middle of the night, sometimes twice in a night, sometimes I feel like he does something I don't wanna think about coz who stays in a room doing nothing and leaves when im awake?and he gets touchy with me? That's not normal bruhh.

That stays on for as long as 2 weeks I think, and I started avoiding him, not talking to him and stuff, I never told anyone coz I don't wanna start something in the family, I didn't tell my mom ​about it but I opened up with one of my closest sister, I was sobbing as I started to tell her over the phone, i didn't cry the whole time this happens so I couldn't control myself when I cried, my sister told me to pack up and stay with a friend of hers for the time being, and I did and I started to look for a new place to live,my mom and my other sister never knew what happened,I'm just happy that they approved of my moving,since they usually don't approve when it's about money, we're not rich 🤞...

So that's what happen until I moved. I thought everything was okay when I moved but he just won't stop, he goes to my workplace (I work in weekend) hung out for the whole day until I go home and follows me, everytime that happens I don't go back to my place,and just ride around the town to stall and ride another ride to some friend's house in a place where he's not familiar with, sometimes I even wish he'll get lost and can't go home 🤷‍♀️,well, he can't follow me when he don't even know how to act unsuspicious when following someone(he hides behind a tree after following me in the same ride for half an hour)​​ he's still doing stuff like this but well.. I get used to it and already knows his pattern so everytime he follows me, I go to their house and leave when his parents see him(he gets scold for leaving without permission)

Now we barely sees each other coz he's banned at my workplace and he don't know where's my place. But since my family don't know anything,they asks me to go there sometimes.

That's all, nothing happened this week so maybe it's okay now​​​​
