You’re currently lying in bed, waiting for your boyfriend, Justin, to come 首页 when 你 suddenly hear a sound come from downstairs. Thinking nothing of it, 你 bury your head into the book again - figuratively speaking, of course. It was a book Justin had gotten 你 for your birthday and when 你 finally got to 阅读 it - 你 just couldn’t stop. Your body tenses when another sound is heard. Normally, you’d blame it on the 小狗 你 and Justin had bought about six months 以前 but since he was ‘visiting’ Pattie, 你 couldn’t. Marking the page 你 had been reading, 你 place the book on the bedside 表 and actually focus on listening now.
你 yelp quietly when there’s yet another sound and this time it wasn’t the old house and 你 knew that 你 had turned the TV off. This time, it 你 are almost absolutely positive that it was a sound of a vase falling to the floor. Realizing this, 你 begin to chew on your bottom lip. There is someone in the house. And you’re 首页 alone. Suddenly feeling very vulnerable, 你 ponder about being quiet 或者 actually confronting the intruders. They probably thought that there was nobody 首页 considering 你 had turned off most of the lights before going to 床, 床上 - like Justin had told 你 to do before he left for work. When he kissed 你 goodbye, he had whispered; “Turn off the lights before 你 go to bed. I’ll be right up with 你 anyway and we can make sweet 爱情 together. How does that sound, huh?” He had teased, with a cheeky grin plastered on his face.
Hearing a door downstairs slam, 你 squeal - startled - and instinctively grab for your phone. 你 turn of the 阅读 light when 你 remember that the door is open and if the intruders decide to come upstairs to take a look, they would obviously see the light shining through. Using your phone as a flashlight, 你 slowly unwrap the covers from your body. 你 walk toward the door, as lightly as 你 can, and sneak a peek downstairs. Your breath catches in your throat when 你 clearly see two shadows moving around.
Swallowing back a sob, 你 clutch your phone and practically crawl away from the door. 你 make your way to Justin’s side of the bed, the one furthest away from the door, and curl up on the floor - hopefully out of sight. With trembling fingers, 你 冲床 in the number and bring it up to your ear. It rings and rings and 你 silently pray that he picks up. Pick up, pick up, pick up! Please, pick up?
“Hello?” His voice crackles through the phone and 你 catch yourself from letting out a sigh of relief. “Babe, 你 there?”
“J-Justin?” It comes out as a 问题 as 你 break down. Sob after sob escapes your mouth and 你 try your best to bite them back. 你 couldn’t afford to let the intruders hear you. “Babe? Babe, what’s wrong?” Justin asks concerned. Hearing 你 break down like that is hard for him, especially when he isn’t there.
“I-I think there’s someone in the house…” 你 sob, your voice trembling. 你 hear Justin’s sharp intake of breath and 你 imagine him running a hand over his mouth. “Baby… I need 你 to hide for me, okay? Go somewhere safe.” 你 nod to yourself, before letting him know that you’re already out of sight. 你 feel your breath quicken when there is another bang heard downstairs. “Stay there. Don’t make a sound. I promise, I’ll be 首页 as soon as I can, okay? I’ll come home, baby. Everything’s gonna be alright. I won’t let anyone hurt you. You’re gonna be okay, [Y/N]. 你 hear me?” When 你 don’t answer, he pressures 你 until 你 do. “Do 你 hear me, [Y/N]? You’re gonna be okay.” “I-I’m scared, Justin…” 你 whimper out and 你 hear Justin sigh deeply.
“I know, baby, I know. Alfredo is calling the police now. I’m on my way, okay? I’ll be there soon, I promise. 你 just have to be quiet and don’t move. Sit where 你 are. I’ll come 首页 to you, babe.”
And he did. Not even fifteen 分钟 after hanging up with you, there was a big slam downstairs and lots of shouting. 你 sit tight on the floor - just like Justin told you, hands around your knees as 你 sway back and forth. 你 use this as a technique to calm down but it isn’t working too well because 你 have no idea what is going on downstairs. Suddenly, a pair of arms snakes around 你 and Justin hugs 你 tight to his chest. Stroking your hair, he soothes 你 with a gentle voice.
“It’s okay, baby. I’m here. You’re okay. You’re safe. We’re okay.”
