Tristan

The room was dark as I tossed and turned in bed next to Candy who I forgot likes to take up ninety percent of the bed.

I turned over and moved Candy's legs as I sat up on the bed and quietly made my way over to the dresser.

I turned to make sure Candy was still asleep before I slowly opened the dresser and moved a couple of T-shirt's until I felt a small bag.

"There it is," I picked up the bag and grinned.

"What you doing?" Candy asked turning on the lamp and looking at me.

"I can't sleep so I need to smoke."

She rolled her eyes.

"You just trying to get high."

I actually was but weed does help me sleep too.

"Relax I'm not even going to smoke that much." I told her as I opened the bag.

My eyes grew wide with surprise as I realized there was less inside the bag than I remembered.

I looked at Candy.

"Did you smoke my weed?" I asked.

She looked dead at me not saying anything.

At the time I didn't see what was wrong with what I said but she did.

"Yep because pregnant women smoke weed." She said sarcastically.

"I know that I had more weed than this."

"You probably smoked more than you remember it happens." Candy explained.

I looked at her.

"What about the kids?" I asked.

Candy looked at me.

"Our kids know better than that."

As I was about to say something there was loud barking coming from downstairs it was Charlie.

"I think it's time to take Charlie out for a walk."

"Nah that's not it."

Charlie being a retired Police German Shepherd I could tell be the way he was barking and it wasn't to go on the walk.

"I think someone's in the house I told Candy quietly.

"Are you sure?" She asked nervously.

I made my to the closest and grabbed a bat since Candy confiscated my guns.. well the ones she know about anyway.

I had the bat in my hand as I made my way to the bedroom door.

"Stay quiet and lock the door and you know what do if I'm not back in five minutes."

Candy nodded as I walked out of the room and closed the door.

I slowly walked down the stairs where Charlie's barking was getting louder and louder.

As I made it down the stairs and into the  dark living the barking was louder coming from the kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen and seen Charlie barking at the back door.

I held the bat tight as I went to the back door where Charlie was still barking.

I looked out the window blind next to the door to see no one was in the back yard.

"Down Charlie I said in which he finally stopped barking it was giving me a headache.

"Who ever you are get away from my door and my property I'm only saying this once I called out.

I heard nothing then I looked at the blind to see nothing so I slowly opened the door.

There was no one there I looked farther to see if I saw anyone but nothing..

I closed and locked the door then made my way back upstairs.

I double knocked on the door to let Candy know it was me and she opened it.

"What happened?" She asked as I grabbed my laptop of the dresser sat on the bed and turned it on.

"I think someone was in our backyard."

"Did you see anyone?"

I shook my head.

Candy looked at me.

"What are you doing?"

"Ordering a security system."

So what y'all think?

Was someone really there or is Tristan being paranoid?

Is Tristan doing the right thing?
