I woke up to a knock on my door. I checked my phone and it was 1:15. I was still supposed to be in school.
I knew the knock had been my mom, so I grabbed my shoes, backpack, and jacket and climbed out of my bedroom window. I went to my front door and walked in.
"Hey mom, I'm home," I said as I set my bag down.
"Hunny, why are you home so early?" My mom said as she walked downstairs.
"I didn't feel well and I had a bad headache."
"Well your car was here before you got home."
"Yea uh, I got a ride from Beck."
"Well I have a date tonight so I need you to stay here to watch your sister," she said.
"Mom, it's only been a couple of days since dad left. How did you already find a new guy?" I said.
"We met yesterday at my work."
"Wait, if this doesn't work out and he's at your job that might be a little weird," I said
"Oh hunny, don't worry everything will be fine," she said.
"Mom, you just met him and you're already going out. That's a little weird," I said.
She looked at me and raised her eyebrow. "And what about Beck?"
"Shut up," I said.
"Listen, just watch your sister. I'll be back at eleven," she said.
I got my stuff and walked upstairs and stayed in my room until my mom left.
"Bye hunny, I'll be back at eleven. Rachel please listen to your sister," my mom said.
"Ok loser, what do you want for dinner?" I asked.
"Pizza," Rachel said.
"Uhh fine," I said and grabbed the phone.
I picked up the phone and ordered the food.
"Ok I ordered the food. Wanna watch a movie?" I asked.
"A scary movie," Rachel said.
"You're only 7, we can't, I'm sorry."
She looked at me with puppy dog eyes.
" Uhhh If you don't tell mom we can."
"I promise," Rachel said.
"How about kidnap?" I said.
"Sure."
We started watching the movie and then the doorbell rang.
I paused the movie. "The pizzas here."
I opened the door and I got our food and paid. We went back to the movie and ate pizza. I paused it again.
"What?" Rachel said.
" I heard something," I said.
"It was probably just a tree," Rachel said.
"Yea you're right," I said.
We went back to watching the movie then we heard a loud thud outside our door.
"Ok, I definitely heard something," I said
"So did I," Rachel said.
"Stay here, I'm gonna check."
I opened the door and I saw nothing.
"There's nothing, probably just a raccoon," I said.
But then I turned around, and I didn't see Rachel.
"RACHEL WHERE ARE YOU?" I said.
Then I heard a thud come from the kitchen. I ran there and saw nothing. Before I knew It I hit the floor and I could barely see. I thought I saw my dad.
