I’m home alone this weekend! I’m excited to finally be alone. My parents said they didn’t want me throwing any parties. Which I wasn’t planning on having one but it’s whatever. Friday night i had two friends come over, Zoe and Matthew. We weren’t planning to make a mess so i thought ‘Why not?’. We were just hanging out, watching movies, and laying around my room as usual. The movie ended and we started to look for another one to watch. Then we heard a noise from downstairs. Matthew ran into my closet and Zoe went under my bed. I didn’t understand why they were so scared because the doors and windows were locked and if it was my parents they wouldn’t have cared because they come over all the time. I started to walk out of my bedroom to go see who it was. I was at my bedroom door when I heard glass hit the floor. There was another noise and more glass falling. “Oh my god!” I yelled. “Get back here right now!” Zoe said sternly. I grabbed my door and closed it. I walked further into my away from my door, I was terrified! Matthew and Zoe were scared too. I ran into the closet with Matt. I told Zoe to come too so we were all together but she was too scared. Matthew and I had to talk her into it. Matthew had to go to the door and pile stuff in front of it and I had to get a pile of random things together to put in the doorway of the closet so if anyone opens the it they wouldn’t be able to see us. Then we had to write a note for my parents saying that I snuck out and where I went incase something bad happened while I was out. When Matthew got everything piled in front of the door Zoe ran into the closet. Matthew and I went back in the closet and he helped me put the piles of random things in front of the door while Zoe called her mom telling her everything that was happening. Zoe started crying because she was freaking out. Zoe’s mom told her to have Matthew or I to call the cops and tell them what is happening. Matthew took his phone out and did what she said. I called my mom and told her what was going on. She said that she was going to turn around and come home as soon as possible. What seemed like an eternity passed by and we were still sitting in my closet. The cops finally showed up, we heard them yelling but we didn’t move we thought the person that broke in was still here. We could hear footsteps, we got closer together because we didn’t know who it was. “So you called the cops” a voice yelled throughout the house. The cop said something from downstairs but no one us could make it out. We heard footsteps on the stairs, “Put it down!” yelled a different voice. “PUT WHAT DOWN?? What do you think he has?” Zoe said with her voice filled with fear. Matthew and I looked at each other but didn’t say anything. “Put it down now!” was hollered again. Then with no warning there was a gunshot. After a few moments in silence there was banging on my bedroom door.
