Silence

Alone

Laying in bed with the music blasting loud, I was thinking "damn its great to not be bothered". My bedroom door was wide open, with the hallway lights on, because of my imagination which runs wild when I'm alone.
Suddenly I see the lights of the hallway turn off, the first thing I thought was that my parents were home. I removed my earphones. "Mom! Dad!" I called out, but it was silent... I waited a couple seconds thinki g they probably didn't hear me "Mom! Dad!" I calles again, but still silent... I got out of bed wondering why they weren't answering, but when I step outside my room and look up at the end of the hallway, what I see frightened me. Theres a figure of a man standing at the end of the hallway, which was only a couple meters away. I knew he wasn't my father, he was too tall, and he was obviously not my mom. He was just looking at me for what felt like forever. Until suddenly he starts walking away, and right when he does I rushed into my room, slammed the door behind me, locked the door and called my parents.
"Mom! Dad!" I yelled
"What's wrong sweetie is everything okay?" My mom asked.
I started to cry "there's someone in the house mom! I'm so scared!"
"Oh my god! Robert we have to go home! There's someone in the house!" I heard my mom say.
All I could hear was my dad cussing in the back, then my mom added "we're on our way sweetie just dont hang up okay!"
"HURRY!" I yelled.
My mom tried her best to comfort me, but I was just so scared I couldn't calm down. Suddenly I heard the door knob rattling.
I whispered "oh my god... mom... I think he's trying to get in my room."
"ROBERT HURRY UP!" I heard my mom cry out "HONEY WE ALREADY CALLED THE POLICE THEY'RE 5 MINUTES AWAY, JUST HOLD ON!" My mom ordered. I kept looking at the doorknob, watching it twist and turn. All I could feel was panic and fear. Then after a couple of minutes I heard the sirens outside my house, and the knob just stopped dead. I couldn't move, I didn't want to move. I heard a knock on my door which made me jump.
"Are you in there sweetie, its the police" I heard a woman say. I didn't respond. "Honey, I know you're scared, but you got to open the door" the same woman. I snapped out of it and unlocked the door. Two officers came in and walked me outside, asked me questions and waited outside for my parents with me. They told me that it was the first and last time I was going to see this man because they were going to be guarding my house for a few days, damn were they wrong about that.
