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