Needing some time to chill you were super excited to leave for a weekend surf trip. Unfortunately it happened to be on the same weekend the kids were both staying at their grandpas house so I was going to be alone. I tried to get my sister to come over but she couldn't only couldn't, which left me all alone Friday night.
Not having slept in the house alone before I was definitely nervous, double checking all the doors and making sure the outside lights were on. I stayed up late watching Netflix until I started nodding off, then made my way to bed and fell asleep quickly.
Somewhere in the middle of the night I got up to pee, then crawling back in bed, snuggling your pillow. Then just when I was about to drift back to sleep I heard a noise outside. Unable to tell what it was I listened closely but didn't hear it again. Assuming it was the neighbor or an animal, and being too tired to check I closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep.
Suddenly I was awoken by another noise, but this time I was terrified. I wanted to grab the baseball bat but was too scared to move. It sounded like the noise was from in the house. My heart was pounding as I lay motionless, just listening, hoping it was outside, or even a dream. Sensing I wasn't alone, I sat up and grabbed my phone. Just then a dark figure came in the room. I tried to scream but nothing came out. He came quickly over and slammed me down on the bed, holding his gloved hand over my mouth.
"Shut the fuck up and I won't hurt you!" he said in a deep, demanding tone.
My heart was pounding out of my chest, I was beyond terrified.
