Hide And Seek

3. The noise

I felt a weird gaze on me and I also felt like someone was knocking on the window in the bathroom. I stopped walking and listened. There was nothing to hear. Okay. I have to admit that I am slightly anxious, but no one could ruin this beautiful weekend full of privacy. Nevertheless, I turned on the light downstairs in the living room, in the kitchen, and in the front corridor. I wasn't really fed up with the chocolate. I took the bowl which was filled with pasta and vegetables that my mother had prepared out of the oven and put it in the microwave for two minutes. While I waited, I looked through the room. I noticed that the kitchen clock had stopped.ä working. It still showed 3:29 p.m. My gaze wandered to the window. A high scream slipped out of my mouth. I quickly covered my lips and collapsed to the floor.
I thought I saw a shadow of someone outside the window. This time I was really scared. Really scared. But I needed to get my shit together and convinced myself that I was just seeing things because I'm alone at home. So I stood up. And my heart twitched again. But this time it was the beeping of the microwave that pulled me out of my thoughts. "What the hell is wrong with me?! I'm usually never so extremely scared. I love horror and creepy stuff damn."Am I just imagining the whole thing? Well it's been a tough week maybe I'm just exhausted." I talked to myself while putting the pasta on my plate.

I only now noticed that my hands were shaking. Really bad. Like I was getting a panic attack any second. I tried to distract myself and took the plate with my food and sat down in the living room again. Maybe a good movie or series would distract me even more now. I just wanted to forget about this little scary incident that scared me more than it should've."Great. I forgot the fork." I wandered back into the kitchen to get this damn fork. I looked at the kitchen window again just to make sure I wasn't insane and noticed that the shadow was just the big branch of our peach tree. My mother spends half of her free time in the garden, if I haven't mentioned it yet. But this strange knocking in the bathroom was still stuck in my head. I couldn't really explain where it could be coming from. There was no tree. No rain, wind or bad weather. Maybe some kids wanted to scare me? I don't know.

I looked at my cell phone. It was already 9:14 p.m. In the meantime, I have already calmed down a little bit because I saw my phones background picture. Me and Damien sitting on a picnic blanket last summer. I grabbed my plate, a soft blanket and got comfortable on the couch again. This time I could finally start to eat and enjoy my evening. The "The Walking Dead" intro appeared on the TV screen. I love this show. As I mentioned before Horror and I are best friends. That's why I still couldn't understand why I got scared so fast a few minutes ago. It was weird. But not the good kind of weird.
