The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Before I had opened the box I looked all over for a return address. After flipping the box over many times to look for it I gave up. I took the pocket knife from my backpack and opened it. When I opened the box I was confused because I saw very elegant tissue paper. When I lifted it what I saw took away that feeling of relief I had for just a split second. It was tissue paper with my baby pictures on them and the date and time of my birth. When I was just about to remove the rest of the paper I heard the back door open. I got so scared that he was back I grabbed the butcher knife from the knife block and knelt behind the door. When the door opened I took the knife behind me and I swung I missed them. When I got up I tackled  them to the ground they got back up. Whoever it was they knew were I kept my wooden bat. I started putting it there when the first call happened. It was just a couple days after my mom  left for her medical treatment. I was sitting at home doing my home work and then my house alarm started going off. It was louder than it has ever been before. I turned it off and called the company to let them know what had happened. I told the man what happened and he started laughing and all he said was this isn't the last time. This isn't the last time you will want to fear for your life and it isn't the first time you will turn to someone for there help and it will just be me always torturing you. So the real question is did someone really set off your alarm. After that night I have always kept it there. When I saw him go for the bat I made a run for it I grabbed my phone and ran out the front door. But before I could I felt the most pain I had ever felt. As I turned around I saw the masked man removing the butcher knife from my side and laughing maniacally. AS he started to walk away I got the strength to fight back. I grabbed the vase that had been sitting on the table since we moved in here I smashed it on to him. He picked me up and slammed me into the wall I hit my head and then the room went dark. When I came to I woke up in a hospital room with my boyfriend Eric and my 4 friends Daniel, Tyler, Samantha and Paige. When I started to wake up my boyfriend by my side and friends I started to remember what happened. When the doctor cleared me Eric took me home. He was going to go to work and then he would be over when he dropped me off I thanked him for taking me to the hospital. When I said this he looked puzzled he said that some man took me in and dropped me on a empty gurney outside a ambulance. he must of saw the look on my face and asked if I knew this said man I said it must have been my neighbor He gave me a kiss and watched me walk into the house and just left.
