Why me?

Who's Outside My Window?

Heaven

It's just my mom, my brother and I living here. We've moved all around Orlando, and only out of Florida once. We moved to Georgia but a few months later, we moved back to Orlando. Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Heaven and I'm 16. My mom is Crystal and my brother is Dane; he's 18

We never stay in one house for more than a year or two and we just moved into a huge house in Orlando near some woods. It's absolutely beautiful here! I love being able to look out the windows and see huge trees taller than skyscrapers. We have a big, beautiful wrap-around porch and an in-ground pool.

I was helping my mom unpack some boxes that had stuff for the living room in them when I opened the window and saw someone standing there... Watching me.

I screamed for my mom but as soon as I did the person ran off into the woods. My mom came over to the window and looked outside. Since the person ran off before she came over she didn't get to see. My mom, rushing over to me, asked, "Why did you scream? What's wrong?"

"There was someone standing right in front of me, staring at me when I went to open the window! I think It was a man but I couldn't really tell." My mom gave me a look like she thought I was crazy.

"What are you talking about honey? There's nobody standing there and I don't see anybody running. Are you sure you saw a person or was it all in your head? You know how many times you've thought you've seen something but it was really nothing."

"I don't know. It was probably in my head. Sorry, mom, I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay dear. Just don't do that again and if you do, please make sure it's an actual person standing there."

"Alright", I said. But I know what I saw and I know I saw someone.
