Scary and Creepy True Stories

They're At My Door

To start off, I'm a 16 year old female, I was visiting my mom's apartment for the weekend with my sister, we go there every weekend or every other weekend to see her. We arrived around ten in the morning, and brought in our pillows and movies from our grandma's car, we get inside and chill for a couple of hours while watching T.V. before my sister says that she's hungry and my mom said "ah okay, uh what do you want?", "uh pizza?". I said I was okay with pizza and my mom said that she'd have to run to Kroger's, which is less then a mile away and that she'd get some movies from Red Box. My sister then asked if she could go with my mom to Kroger's and my mom said that she could and asked if I would be okay in the apartment by myself. I said I would, because I knew I would be, "I'll be gone twenty minutes tops, okay?" my mom said, she didn't like leaving me alone as she told me later. Now my mom's apartment is in kind of a crappy place, where sex trafficking people have been spotted, and drug dealers and thieves and stuff. But I was on the third floor of one of many surrounding apartment buildings with tons of neighbors, so I figured I would be fine, "okay but lock the door okay? And you know not to open it unless it's me right?", "yes mom, I'll be fine". They left soon after, and I was sitting in the couch on my phone with Jimmy Springer playing in the background, it was about ten minutes after they left when I heard the doorknob jiggle, I looked up not feeling scared right away, but also feeling a little weary. I should mention that I carry a pocketknife everywhere with me, the blade is about three to four inches long, it was sitting on the coffee table in front of me when I got up to go to the door. I'm only 5'3" and I knew not to open the door, so I grabbed a chair and stood on it to look through the peephole, and that's when I shit my pants, on the other side was some Mexican guy just standing there trying to open the door, of course being how I am I tried to laugh myself out of being afraid because I had no reason to think that he was going to do something to me, maybe he just had the wrong room. I had never seen him before though, and I don't know everyone in the building personally but I'd seen them all at least once and he definitely wasn't one of them, "hey man I think you got the wrong room", he froze his eyes glued to the door handle, and then at the peephole, he could probably tell exactly where I was when I spoke. I swear we made eye contact and one of his eyes was so yellow I thought he had jaundice or something, then all of a sudden he started ramming his shoulder into the door, like full on shoulder ramming like in a football game or something, I jump off the chair and grab my phone and knife and run into a room with a window and lock the door. I call my mom's friend who lives in the apartment building across the street and start crying hysterically and said "Jess someone's trying to break in, call the cops and bring Chris. Please just get over here" she didn't even hesitate "oh shit okay were coming". Within seconds of hanging up I call my mom and the guy is still hitting the door and he's yelling in frustration now, my mom picks up after a few rings and I tell her what I told her friend and that she was coming with Chris and that she needed to get here quick. All she said was "I'm coming", by the time I saw Jess make her way down two flights of stairs and across the road with her boyfriend, my mom was flying down the road and was there within mere seconds of me calling, they all race inside and I hear everyone yelling in the hallway, I unlock the door and peak outside of the apartment and see Chris holding the guy against the wall while my mom hugs me and Jess is screaming at him. Long story short, when the police arrived and took my statement and the man first denied it by saying that he thought it was his room, but then he ended up confessing that he wanted to see me and talk to me because apparently he thought I was pretty. The police had him in handcuffs and ran a background check on him and what came up wasn't surprising, he had a warrant for an assault charge on a woman and had been arrested for kidnapping, yea we didn't sleep that night.
