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