Mini stories

Story 1

So I already have a story on here but this one isn't personal just so you know this happened to my friend David he sent me it so it is from his perspective.

Davids POV

A few small details before I start.

I was 16 when this happened.

I live in a 2 story house.

My mums room is downstairs and mine is upstairs.

My friend (who I'm going to call...) James lives next door.

My driveway is really long.

I don't live with my dad

The nearest shop is about 7 miles away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James was sleeping over for the night and we were playing video games in my room. It was really dark outside so I shut the blinds, when I did I saw a car parked across our driveway.
Thinking they were just at the pub I went down stairs to tell my mum, but I couldn't find her instead, I found a note "I have just gone to the shop if you need me call ***********"

So, I rang the number and I didn't get an answer. It didn't even ring. I thought her phone just died and she would find out when she got home.

I went back upstairs to my room and continued playing games with James. After about half an hour I heard the gate around the side of my house, so we both went to check it out. We looked out the back window and saw a guy trying to climb over the fence at the back of the garden.

When we saw him he apparently saw us too and he came charging at the back door. We didn't lock it so we ran into my room and locked the door from the inside. We heard him stomping up the stairs.

When he reached my door he twisted the handle a few times and then started to kick the door. By this time we were sobbing wimps. James being the more rational thinker got up and tried to find a weapon. In the end, I kid you not, I ended up with a tennis racket and he ended up with a removable post from my bed.

We didn't have phones at the time so we couldn't call anyone so I shouted out the window as loud as I could while James was keeping watch on the door.

Eventually. It broke. The fricking door lock broke clean off. When I saw him up close it was obvious he wasn't in the right state of mind. He tried to grab my friend who kicked him in the shin which didn't do much, when he tried to get away from the guy he grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

I didn't know what to do. It happened so quickly. In the moment I hit the guy around the head grabbed James and ran. We ran faster than we ever did down our driveway until we decided to hide. We could just see the guys car from where we were and there was someone else in it.

My driveway, being really long, was good to hide in, but not so good to run along. So we stayed as quiet as we could until we heard him pass.

About 15 mins later we ran down the driveway, snook around the car, to my neighbours house whose door was open. We shouted inside and no one answered. So we went to the next neighbours house and called the police.

When my mum got there we explained everything and the police took our statements. We now have new doors and window latches, cctv cameras and an alarm. My mum will barely let me out of the house alone.

Trigger warning.
Later on I found out the guy had raped and tried to kidnap my first neighbours kid. High and drunk he came to our house. He was arrested and put in prison. If my friend wasn't there or i didn't have my door lock, or if I hadn't heard that gate. I don't even want to know what would have happened. Let's hope We never have to find out.
