Today started out like any other day. I made breakfast, got dressed and started my recording. I felt though, something wasn't right. In the pit of my stomach, it just felt like...something bad might happen? I didn't know whether to call it a bad or good feeling, but it wasn't comfortable to sit with.

I sighed, heading downstairs and grabbing a coffee. I need to relax. I might just be stressed or ate to much this morning.

After finishing my coffee, I went back upstairs to continue my recording. I didn't have much left to do, just a mod review and some editing for a few videos I recorded yesturday.

As I was just about done editing a parkour video I had done with Aleks, I could hear sirens outside. I usually hear them since the police station is a thirty minute drive from my house, but they sounded like they were only five minutes away.

I walked over to the window, moving the curtain and peeking outside. There were about three cars, turning corners and splitting up as they got to my street. What business did they have here, and why did they split up? Were they searching for someone.

I wasn't gonna lie, I was terrified of crime. It happens to often now that you don't know if the next person someone kills, rapes, or robs will be you and its terrifying to think about.

The loud bang on my front door being slammed shut made me jolt out of my thoughts. I turned to face the bedroom door. Someone was definitely in my house, and I just hoped to god it was the cops.

I looked at the guitar I used for guitar hero and picked it up like you would a bat. I quietly opened the door and tip toed downstairs.

As I turned into the living room, There was a guy who just finished locked the front door. I couldn't keep in a gasp of surprise and that got his attention. He turned to me shocked and as I was about to yell when hearing the sirens once more, he pushed me up against the wall, pressing his hand over my mouth.

I tried to squirm away but he used his body to keep me still. Fuck this man was strong. I tried to yell through his hand but he just pressed it back harder. "Shut the fuck up. I'm not afraid to kill you."

I froze and instantly stopped. This was my fear. My fear of having a criminal come after me next. I didn't want to die or be abused. Why me, did I do something wrong?

After a few minutes the sirens finally went away and the man lightened up, letting me go and taking a step back.

I lost all strength in my legs and slid down the wall. The guitar which right now would of been my only weapon was about a few feet away from me, and this man was the only thing between me and it. I could take the risk and just grab it and try to knock him out, or I could stay here, perfectly still and hope he'll leave me alone.

Before I had time to make a decision he spoke up. "Don't you dare try and grab that fucking guitar, or call the cops. I could kill you in a heart beat."

I gulped, who was this man? "Wh-Who a-ar-are y-yo-you...w-wh-why we-were th-the cop-cops aft-ter y-you?"

"Without telling the whole boring fucking story, I escaped prison. Simple as that." I didn't answer, I didn't know what to say. My mind was basically blank, I was to afraid to think or even move right now. I could make one wrong step and I could be choked to death or stabbed. Just the thought brought tears to my eyes.

I heard the man give a grunted out sigh which made me flinch back slightly. "Ok then, how about me make a deal." I almost wanted to say no, but if it means living... I nodded hesitantly.

He bent down in front of me, making me back up further to the wall. "You let me hide out here, as long as I want. I won't kill you or harm you in anyway. Deal?" He held out his hand.

Was it worth it? Having a criminal here just at the price of living? I mean, I could be sent to jail for hiding someone. This was also the last place they were so by tomorrow or in a week they'd be asking around the houses if they've seen this guy. But, I really don't want to die...and the tone he used seemed sincere enough to be real...

I nodded slightly, shakily taking his hand and shaking it once. This is not going to be fun...
