Don't Touch Me [ryden]

reminder for everyone

So something just happened to me today...

I don't think you're all going to care but I hope this will serve as a reminder for everyone bc I have never been in a more traumatic experience my whole life and if I don't say it I might go insane and I literally thought I was going to die.

So someone broke in our house, or atleast I think he did. We aren't really sure yet, but this what happened.

It started at like 4:30 something in the afternoon and I was in my room, as usual I was on my phone and I was even rereading my chapters because I was going to update this story. While I was doing that I was also texting my bestfriend Joe, you guys might know him he's Brendonswhore  in wattpad I've mentioned him before. So in the middle of talking I heard shuffling outside my room, like fabric rubbing against fabric and at first I couldn't tell if there were footsteps as well, but I was definitely scared already, being the biggest fucking scaredy cat that I am.

Mind you our whole house is locked, but most of our windows and doors were glass and like sliding doors and shit. We have curtains for most of them too and it was raining really hard and it just made the whole house darker. I didn't even bother to turn the lights on yet bc well I was in my room and it was just 4. I also live alone in my house, my mom has work in a different city, and so does my dad. Our housekeeper wasn't here with me either because she recently got married and asked for a leave. So yeah, alone.

I had a grandma though who liked to visit me sometimes, and she had a key to my house and everything but besides that she would always call me or tell me if she comes over. I live in a suburban neighborhood and one of my neighbors was my aunt who lived just a house away. Anyways, so I started feeling scared when I heard the noises so I tried calling out to see if it was my grandma and I was like "Lola?"(that's what I call her), and there was nothing. So I kept trying and I tried raising my voice and there was nothing still.

Remember everything was locked, the doors te windows, except for my bedroom door which was wide open, and from my room I could see the living room.

So I craned my neck and looked, I swear to you I was already so terrified of doing just that. So I texted my friend and I was like 'Shit wait, I think someone's in my house.' and I was already freaking out bc I started hearing footsteps and I was so terrified because the house was locked, I didn't even hear the main door open or anything. I didn't hear any windows getting smashed. Nothing. So I was like shit someone broke in what the fuck, and then I looked over one last time and he was standing right there, just a few feet away from my bedroom door. He was so tall and big and his face was so dark, I couldn't really make out what he looked like bc it was really dark inside. But he looked like he was wearing a baggy jacket that was probably a dark green or a navy blue idk. I swear to you he was looking at me and i don't even know how to describe it man, it was just the most terrifying thing ever I know it doesn't even sound that scary like I'm being dramatic but he was just looking at me and I was frozen.

There were a lot of ways it could've turned out I could've ran, shut the door to my room and locked it before he could get to me but honest to god I was so terrified that I couldn't even move. He also moved as if he was going to walk towards me and being the dumbass that I am I fucking hid under my blanket, yes! Hid under my blanket! That's the best I could do! I know, what a fucking loser.

I was already thinking he was near the kitchen area and there were knives there everywhere, if i fucking run for the door he would get to me and what if he stabbed me in the back, or what if he had a gun and he would shoot me right there if I moved, and I was already crying so hard and my friend was like "just go out the fucking window or something just jump!" but I was still completely frozen and I could do at that point was scream and scream and call for my aunt hoping she would hear me, or any neighbors I didn't even care, I just wanted to out of there. I was full on screaming and crying at that point.

Thankfully someone heard me and it was already my aunt, and at first she was like "What's going on? What's happening?" and I was so relieved to hear her but I thought 'fuck what if he's still out there what if he does something to my aunt' god forbid. So I was like 'HELP! He's out there!' and she was like 'who? What are you talking about?' but I was already sobbing and she barged in running then checking the rooms, the bathroom everything but I was like 'No no just get in here, he's out there! Be careful, just come here.' Like I was so desperate to have someone there but I was also so terrified for her.

Then she finds me and we run together outside the house like I didn't even bother looking behind me or at the kitchen or anything I was so scared.

So she let me stay at her house and her husband was like wondering what's wrong so he ran to my house and brought a rake with him, like he was a cop btw he could've brought a gun or something but I guess he was just in a hurry.

And he said no one was there, he checked everything and we didn't even notice anyone come out of the house. Everything after that was a big blur, there were so many people then the cops and then they started asking me questions, and some of them even said that what if he was already inside the house because we had like this space near the roof and they were like maybe he's been there for a little while now and I was just so terrified of hearing that. Like a man, in your fucking house where you live alone has been there all this time doing god knows what! The scary thing was no one knows where the hell he went, who he is or where he came from, nothing.

So I begged my mom to come home because I couldn't even stand being alone, but unfortunately she couldn't bc she had so much work that she couldn't leave and I mean I get it, but she called a few people to work on the house and install new locks and double locks and called my cousins who were guys to stay here with me for now.

So that's pretty much the shit storm that has happened just a few hours ago, and now I can't sleep that's why I'm still up writing this.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know and that I hope this doesn't happen to any of you, ever. Please please please be extra careful, always check your house especially if you're living alone, check your locks, just be prepared in case of emergencies like this. Make sure you don't do the same fucking thing I did, real smartass move hiding under the blanket. Just be cautious you guys, like really take care. Be aware of like missing people in your area, that kind of stuff, and make sure your house is safe. It's really awful feeling unsafe in your own home.

Yeah, that's about it, take care, y'all are really special to me! What happened really sucked but I just hope there's a lesson here learned by everyone, also if anyone wants to talk that'd be great right now. Also thanks for the reads and comments you're all amazing. Love you xx.
