After school, I head home.

"I'm home!" I announce to Robert and Courtney, but they are no where to be found.

I shrug and go upstairs.

Hours pass and I still don't hear the click on the front door.

It is now almost 8:00 and Courtney and Robert still aren't home. Why aren't they home? They would've called me.

I hear a creak towards my window and quickly whip my head in that direction.

I move the curtains to see Harry sitting there, trying to undo the locked latch to my window.

"Let me in."

"No."

"Please."

"I don't wanna talk to you, Harry."

"Anna, let me in."

All of a sudden, a noise erupts from downstairs.

"Courtney and Robert are home. I have to go."

"Their car isn't even in the driveway."

My eyes widen. Did I leave the door unlocked?

"Anna, let me in."

"There's someone in here."

"Let me in!" He urges.

Out of fear, I open the window latch and step aside, allowing him to crawl in.

We hear another noise from downstairs.

"Stay here." He orders.

"Hell no!" I say, pushing him out of the way to get to my door.

"Anna, you don't know who could be down there."

"I don't care. I'm not letting you go by yourself with no defense."

"Fine, but stay behind me."

He slowly guides me downstairs. I stay close to him in fear that someone could sneak up on me. We slowly walk into the kitchen seeing a man dressed in black with a sac on his shoulders.

What the fuck is this? Am I being robbed?

"What the fuck are you doing, dickhead?" I shout, and I swear, Harry mentally slaps me in the face.

I take a moment to mentally slap him back....in the balls.

The man takes one look at us then dashes out the back door.

"Call the cops!" Harry shouts before going after the man.

I quickly dial 911 waiting for the idiots to pick up and demand all this stupid personal information. Once I give them the shit they need, they are here in seconds and the guy Harry tackled is arrested.

That's when Robert and Courtney pull up. Noticing the cops outside, they rush over worriedly.

"Anna, what happened?" Robert asks.

"We got robbed. There was only one man, but he got somethings."

I didn't get a chance to see what he got from us. I'm just hoping Harry got it back.

When he appears behind me with the sack in his hand, I surprise him by giving him a hug. I wrap my arms around his waist tightly, waiting for him to return the favor.

"Thank you so much for being here."

I feel his arms finally wrap around me, pulling me close.

"He had your necklace."
