Pocket Knives

Chapter Two

My mum hung up her phone and knocked on my bedroom door.

"Come in!" I called, my mom came in with her face white, as if she had seen a ghost. I gave her a questioning look and waited for her to speak.

" there was a man on our property today" she breathed out, I cocked an eyebrow with a look that told her to go into detail. "He's just got out of prison for taking advantage of little girls" she finished, my eyes went wide in fear. I just hopped that they wouldn't come back. My mom told me that a woman down the street and her son were friends with him, the guy told the son all that he did and what do ya know? The kid reports the psycho to the police.

I bid my mom and brother goodbye and laid down on the couch, hoping to watch that movie that Mitch said to watch, I looked it up and was just about to watch it when..

*rattle* *rattle*

The front door...

I looked out the window slightly to see someone, a man... He looked as if he would break in, after that rattling stopped and ran around my small apartment, turning off every light and sat down again when I heard someone try to open either the back door or the kitchen window, since both where close to each other I couldn't tell.. As soon as whoever did that, I text my friend Carter on Facebook

Me- Hey dude!
Carter- Hey
Me- What's up?
Carter- scared
Me- same.. What are you scared about
Carter- my friend is in Mexico in his winter home and hurricane Patty is hitting..
Me- What?!? That's horrible!! Darn I hope their okay!!
Carter-Me too... So why are you scared?
Me- well some scary dude decided it would be a awesome idea to try and break in...
Carter- well shit! Did you call the police?
Me- no, my brother will be home any minute from swimming with his friend and I don't want him to get scared..
Carter- I don't blame you
Me- I gotta go, my brother is here, bye
Carter- bye

I opened the door to my brother, hugging him, he asked why all the lights where off and I told him we needed to keep quiet because a mean man was coming if we didn't keep the lights off, for once he believed me. I laid down, listening to my music and I heard a knock, I looked out the window to see my moms car parked outside. I helped her with a few things then hugged her, bawling my eyes out.. I think this is the second time I have ever cried this much, I told her what happened.

" Here I want you to have this with you at all times" She whimpered and handed my a pocket knife with a sliver and gold handle. It was beautiful.

To calm us all down we turned on The Outsiders, I sat at the end of the couch, my mom behind me and my brother was on the other side. I smiled and continued to watch. I quickly fell in love with all the characters, Ponyboy and Johnny being my favourites. I mean Darry and Soda where quite the looker, Dally was flirty, dirty and a real looker and had the same first name as my little brother, Dallas. Two-bit was quite funny in his own way not to mention he was just as much as a chocolate cake fan as I was. Steve Randle was quite tough, smart and would probably be a fun person to hang out with.

But there was no doubt that Ponyboy and Johnny were my favourites

I looked up the book on IBooks and started reading until I ended up falling into a deep slumber.
