I don't like being alone, it's one of my top fears. When I'm alone I feel like things will try to get me. Yet sometimes I want to be alone. I don't understand why, but I just do.

I walk to school with my father and brother, I ride on the bus with my friends. Go to school with my friends. I ride the bus with my friends, and I walk home with my brother.

I'm not really ever alone, even when my parents are gone I have my brothers. Some days I'm left home alone and it terrifies me.

I won't walk into my parents room because I feel like something, or someone is watching me. I just stay in my room and pray that they'll be back soon.

I hate feeling like no one is there for me, so I call my friends, so I can think of something else.

Some days I actually enjoy being alone because then I can just relax and not worry. Those days rarely happen though.

Whenever I hear the word "alone" I think of those terrifying nights by myself.
