The Things I See

Two

I woke up to a vibration. I got out of my bed and walked to the window. I saw her. Crying behind her car. Then I saw him. He rushed outside to what looks like slamming the door behind him. He looked around and I saw her start to move. It looked like he had something in his hand. It looks like...a...a...knife.

    I ran down the stairs and grabbed something to protect me and asked my roommate to call 911 if anyone gets hurt outside.

    I put my hand out as saying stop to him. I went over to the girl and gently grabbed her arm. She had a tear streaked face. This guy was thick-ish with a long beard and mustache. She stood up and he just gave me a dirty look. He said some thing. I couldn't understand. He said it again and this time I understood. I didn't know how to say it so I pointed at his knife then her.

    After that I brought her inside and exchanged numbers and she went back home. It was 4pm time for me to head to work. When I got there there was this new girl. She had short brunette hair. A purple sweater and a nice pair of jeans.

    I signed what's your name. She signed back "Tera." So I signed back "What a lovely name. I'm Austin it's nice to meet you.". "Its nice to meet you."

    I guess I'm a therapist for deaf people. I sign everything to them and they sign back.

    Long story short she lives in a foster home since her parents both died in a fire trying to get her out. She's going to see me every Tuesday at 5:10.

    We both went home and when I got to my front door it was wide open and I saw broken glass, stuff knocked over and some holes in the walls. The first thing I thought of was that guy. I turned around and Ther he was standing in my front yard with a gun.
