two feet away from hell

3/3/07

The sound of rain hitting the ledge of my window woke me up on a raining sunday, I sat up in my bed, as I breathed in the scent of pancakes and bacon coming from upstairs, I heard my moms voice call out "Claire are you awake, breakfast is done." I replied "Yes mom, I will be up in a minute.

I removed my sheets from my body and walked over to my desk to grab a scrunchie I pulled up my hair and headed up the stairs as i threw a navy blue sweater over my body.

"Claire, Ryan is on the phone." My mother told as she sat me down at the table and placed my plate infront of me, I grabed the phone out of my dads hand and placed it next to my ear.

"Hello?" Ryan's sweet voice echoed.

 "Hey ryan." I replied. 

 "Oh my gosh, guess what!?"

  "What!?!" I screamed into the phone.

"Sophie and Justin broke up again!" 

 "omfg, again, thats like the fith time in the last two months, how long do you think it will last until they get back together?" I asked.

"I don't know this time, I'm started to think this dating thing is not really working out so much for them" She laughed into the phone.

"yeah." I replied laughing, "So wanna walk over to my place now?" I asked.

"I would but I have to babysit until two, so I will  be there at three." Ryan replied annoyed.

We hung up, and I continued eating. 

                                                                                     ~*~*~      

At three o'clock my parents had just left for town and I was home alone. My doorbell rang at three thirteen, I walked over to the door grabed the handle and twisted, Ryan  walked in my door along with Amber, Rebecca,Sophie and Sarah.

"I hope you don't mind, but they wanted to come."

"oh, no, its all good." I said with a big smile.

We all walked downstairs to the basement and entered in my room, I layed down on my bed and turned the Tv on, while  Amber, Ryan, Sarah & Sophie headed over to my mirror. Rebecca came in behind everyone and sat down next to me on my bed as we watched Jersey Shore.

Amber, Ryan, Sophie and Sarah all stood infront of my mirror picking themselfs apart.

I couldn't hear Jersey Shore because of Sarah going on about her huge pores and her eyesbrows aren't perfectly shaped. Also I could hear Amber going on about her weird hairline, all the girls were complaining about themselfs even though they are all beautiful and know it!

Sarah, Sarah parks, Sarah is tall with long legs, she has long blonde hair and big blue eyes, Sarah has braces, extremley long eye lashes and tan skin. Sarah is 15 .

Amber has medium blonde hair, with green eyes, really red lips, and cute little freckles. Amber is 17 years old.

Ryan has long chocolate brown hair with green eyes, she has a nose ring and a mole beiside her nose, she is short and thin.

Sophie is tall and thin with blonde hair and a cute english accent. She has a cute button nose and cute dipples.

Rebecca is cute, she is short with apple cheeks and blue eyes, she has black hair and bangs.

 Me, Claire,  I have dark brown hair with hazel eyes, i have big eyes, everyone says im built...and i have long dark eyelashes.

"Guys, shutup! I can't hear Jersey Shore!" Rebecca through across the room, "you guys are all beautiful and you know it, so just stop complaining."

"rawrr" Sophie said while gesturing a cat fight and laughing with amber at the same time.

All the girls walked over to my bed and sat down with me and rebecca, we watched jersey shore for a few minutes in silence until the news interupted the show with a warning of many kidnaps recently, were teenagers so we dont really care about that crap, so we shut of the tv and headed upstairs for a snack.

Everyone left at around eight o'clock, my rents still weren't home and i was getting kinda sleepy, but I didn't want to go to sleep, I was actually thinking about the kidnaps, I was kind of worried, but no they wouldn't come here, like what does my house have to offer, its old and not worth that much money, we dont have any fancy electronics, and my house is safe, they couldn't get in here anyway. I was still a little on edge so i grabed a small steak knife and wrote a little notes for my parents that read ;

Hi mom and dad, I went off to bed, did you hear about the recent kidnaps, anyway i will talk to you in the morning, love you lots xoxo .  - Claire. <3

I walked aroud the house for a minute and made sure the doors and windows were all locked,  I hopped in bed and placed the knife on my night stand, I dosed to sleep within a few moments....

My eyes shot open, I heard a window smash, which sounded like it was coming from upstairs, I started walking slowly out of my room with a firm grip on my knife, I could of swore I heard my bones rattling from shaking so much, I walked up the stairs into the mid section of my house, all the windows were closed and locked, I looked on the kitchen table, my note that i left my parents, had a..had a axe through it, there was an axe through my table, whats going on .. ?

I heard movement coming from upstairs, I slowly walked up the sets of stairs as i turned into the bathroom, i looked at the window, it was locked, there was nothing behind the curtains for the shower either, I was starting to calm down a little, I think im just paranoid...

I walked into the computer less shaking then before, the window was also locked, i left that room and went into my parents room, they weren't in the bed, on they're sheets there was a bloody handprint, I dropped my knife in shock and ran over to the bed, one handprint of blood stained the sheets, A lefty, I slowly backed away from the bed in fear and against the glass doors leading out into the balcony, I stood there pressed against the doors breathing heavily and my heart beating fast, I was about to run to the phone but then something, something smashed behind me, something, hands wrapped around my waist, bloody gloved hands, it was a man, thats all i could make out, I started kicking and screaming but he was too strong, he didn't say anything, just kept a tight squeeze on my waist, he grabbed my throat and pushed me against the railing of the balcony, and in one second he pushed me over the railing and I was falling, it was all in slow motion, I saw him walk back into my parents room and he left me here falling to my death, it was a pretty high drop, with nothing to catch me but the forest floor, I was inching closer and closer to the ground, time unfroze and was in super speed, my back hit the ground along with my head, I felt a quick second of pain..

My eyes darted open, my body cold and soaked from sweating, I was in my bed again, I sat up breathing intensely fast, I got out of my bed quivering with my blanket wrapped around me, I walked upstairs to the kitchen, no axe through the kitchen table,  the note was gone.

"Its alright," I said to myself. "it was just a bad dream."

I walked to the fridge and poured myself a glass of cold water, and headed towards the stairs, but first, I walked up the stairs and into my parents room, there they were lying there fast a sleep safe in they're bed, I headed back into my room and fell back asleep.
