Saving Shay

23.

I warily stepped inside the familiar house I've accustomed to. It seemed eerily quiet and I wasn't sure it was me being paranoid or if it was something giving me a weird vibe.

I shrugged off the feeling and closed the door lightly. I dropped my bag onto the couch as I made my way into the house more. I looked around the house strangely, there's some thing wrong. But what?

"Ugh, I feel like I'm in a horror movie." I spoke out loud trying to calm myself.

I took the stairs two at a time and headed towards my room rubbing my wrist nervously. Logan, unfortunately got detention for disobeying the teacher or something like that and I my patience self was not waiting an hour to go home. Gabe, of course, is over at Maisie's house blossoming their relationship.

I sighed and opened the door to my room, stepping in and closing the door behind me. I jumped on to the bed fidgeting with my phone and started to play music. Well I need something to distract me.

My knees were bouncing up and down due to the nervousness and I closed my eyes. I breathed in and out trying really hard to not let my imaginations go wild and think that I'm going to get murdered by a clown.

Damn it. Now that's going to replay in my mind.

I heard a crash from downstairs and I jumped my eyes widening. I breathed out, calm down maybe it's just gravity being a bitch. I thought and stood up.

I heard another crash and glasses breaking and I flinched again. Okay so maybe Gravity is on its period. I thought and I smiled to myself trying not to panic.

"Yeah totally." I whispered to myself closing my eyes thinking of all the maybes and the solution to this problem. I looked around the room quickly and my eyes zoned in the window.

Maybe I can just climb out of the window and see from outside. At least from there I'll probably less likely to get killed. You don't even know if it's a murderer dumbass, my mind spoke up and I scowled. This feels like I'm in a horror movie and I'm the dumb girl who's going to get killed.

Yeah well I'm not going to be the dumb girl who's going to get killed this time, I thought as I ran to the window quickly unlatching the lock opening it. I looked down from the window and swallowed thickly.

"I never liked heights." I whispered clutching on to the window seal. I looked back at my door and looked down again and shrugged. Better safe than sorry, I thought quickly before throwing my leg over the ledge. I looked up and closed my eyes hoping I won't break my ass. It's not even that much of a distance, it's the fact that there's nothing down there to break my fall if I ever land weirdly.

I heard a thud from downstairs and I jumped bringing my hand up to my chest to calm my erratically beating heart. I heard another thud, followed by an another. Then there's thundering footsteps from the stairs and my eyes widened. Something is definitely wrong, I thought and quickly hoisted my other leg over the window seal and looked down slowly edging towards the pipe that's about a foot away from the window.

Maybe I can slide down the pipe like in those movies, I thought before catching the pipe with my right hand. I breathed out shakily before bringing my left arm around the pipe. I probably look like a constipated koala since I'm clutching onto the pipe with my dear life but my butt is still on the ledge.

I heard a crash coming from the hallway, really close to my rooms door. I didn't lock the door, the thought came quickly to me and I almost face palmed myself for being so stupid.

Right then I heard a bang on the door and my eyes widened and quickly scooted my butt closer to the pipe trying to get a hold of it with my feet.

Oh just do it, my mind butted in my thoughts irritated. I breathed out deeply before jumping off the ledge clutching onto the pipe with my dear life.

But just before I jumped off the door opened and I caught a flash of the persons face and my eyes widened more if that's possible.

It's worse than the serial killer clown.

a/n: Cliffhanger, I hate them myself but I like giving people suspense. But do not fret, Logan hopefully is going to fucking man up and do something. And I'm going to try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible. That's a lie actually. Sorry not sorry.

Oh and Halloween is getting closer. Do you guys even go to tricker treating anymore? My friends and I just going to scare people or steal candies honestly. I just hope I don't see anyone from school in the neighborhood though. Because ew.
