I lay awake under the covers, the eerie sobs ringing in my ears. I was tempted to get up, but the idea fled and terror crowded my head. I kept the pillow close, and my phone as well. Hoping it was just my friend Irene. She was known for crying in her sleep from nightmares, and this assured me it was her. I ignored the fact I felt something staring at me, because I felt to tired to care. Drifting off to the sound of small whimpers wasn't that hard..
" J-jack, Jack! Wake up!" I felt a small hand grip my shoulder firmly, shaking me awake.
" What is it Irene.." I grumbled, turning to her slightly. Her brown hair draped in front of her face, Her eyes dark and seemed scared, the curtains closed.
" T-there's something u-under the bed.." She stuttered. Sniffing, She had been crying.
" Yeah right...Let me sleep longer, it's a mouse like before.."
" IT IS NOT A MOUSE!" She sobbed, holding my shoulder tightly, pulling me to the floor with her.
" Irene! Cut it out! I'll check I'll check!" I sat on my knees, staring under the bed, nothing.
" Seriously..."
" I-I swear I s-saw something!" She looked at me, her eyes wide with terror.
" ..C'mon, let's get breakfast started, I'll check later."
" B-bu-..."
" Irene..."
" F-fine!"
I walked out the bedroom door, it slammed violently behind me. Irene let a blood curtling scream out, banging on it with all her might.
" JACK! LET ME OUT THIS ISN'T FUNNY! OPEN THE DOOR!" She cried.
" I-I'm trying!" I quickly turned the door handle, it wouldn't even budge.
Then, she stopped, and went quiet.
" I-Irene?" I knocked once, the door opened with a small creek.
" Hey Jack...."
