Leaping up from the bed, your heart dropped at the sound of glass shattering downstairs. Ariana gasped next to you as she grabbed ahold of your arm in fear.
"What was that?" She whispered, her voice shaking.
"I don't know." You responded quietly, waiting to see if you would hear another noise.
And just like that another sound came from downstairs making you both jump.
Looking at Ariana, you could see her eyes beginning to well up with tears as one arm was held tightly on your upper arm and the other grasping Myrons collar who was also alarmed at the noise.
"I need to go look." You told her, beginning to get out of the bed.
"No, don't leave me." She begged pulling you back slightly.
Suddenly you heard men talking downstairs. Immediately you stepped out of the bed, peaking your head outside of the bedroom door.
"Baby, I need you to call 911. Right now." Turning around, you shut the door quietly and locked it. You needed to hide. They would be up here any minute.
Your heart was racing in fear. You looked over at Ariana who was struggling through tears while talking to the 911 operator, then hanging up.
"Y/n, they said the police are on their way." She informed you. You nodded in response.
Walking over to Ariana, you intertwined you're hand with hers and walked into the massive walk in closet. Myron and Toulouse following, confused as to what was going on. Locking the closet door, you shut the lights off and hid.
"Here, come here." You sat down in the corner of the closet motioning for your girlfriend to sit next to you.
Ariana burrowed her head into your neck and held onto you for dear life as she silently cried.
You didn't want to show it, but you were scared out of your mind too. There were two mysterious men rummaging through your home in search of who knows what.
"I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, I promise. Everything's gonna be alright." You whispered into her ear as quiet as possible. Once again grabbing ahold of Ariana's hand, you lovingly ran circles with your finger on the back of her hand to comfort her.
You both just sat in the dark closet in silence, waiting for the police to finally get to your house. You could hear the men now upstairs and getting closer to the bedroom.
"They're coming in here next, I know it. What do we do?" Ariana panicked quietly.
Then there was a knock at the bedroom door. Your heart felt like it dropped into your stomach. You knew it wouldn't take a lot for them to get that door down if they were 2 large men. It shook you to your core hearing the eery knock.
Myron and Toulouse stood up in alarm as you reached forward to calm them down. You could feel your girlfriend trembling in fear beside you. Reaching over you pulled her into your arms to help her feel her some sort of protection.
"I'm scared." She confessed into your ear.
"Me too." You tensed up when you suddenly began to hear feet kicking at the bedroom door. The dogs immediately jumped up once they heard the ruckus and started barking towards the door.
You knew what was about to happen next. Not even a moment later the bedroom door broke from its hinges and the men were now feet away from the closet.
Their heavy footsteps lead right to the closest door. You crouched in front of Ariana, you both holding onto each other in fear, silently hoping that the cops would make it in time.
The men began slamming the closet door multiple times to get it to open. The dogs continuing to bark at the door. You squeezed your eyes shut in fear. When a loud voice rang through your ears.
"This is LAPD, put your hands where I can see them!!" You exhaled a large breath in relief.
"Thank god." You whispered as you pulled a sobbing Ariana into your arms. "We're okay, now."
The police officer knocked on the closest door. "This is LAPD, you are safe to come out now!"
You helped Ariana up as you unlocked the door and saw the officer. "Thank you so much officer." You thanked him sincerely.
"Our duty, ma'am. Both men are now in custody. Are you ladies all alright?" He asked. You looked at a distraught Ariana who was still holding onto your arm tightly.
"Just a little shaken up. Thank you so much again, officer." You thanked him once again as you all began walking downstairs.
You felt Ariana squeeze your arm to get your attention.
"Can we go to my moms for the night? I don't really want to be here after that." She asked you. You noticed her hands were still trembling.
"Of course, my love." You wrapped your arms around her squeezing tightly. Her small arms making their way around your waist.
"You're so brave."
"No, I just love you and would never let anything ever happen to you." You leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I'm going to go upstairs and grab some fresh clothes for us to change into once we get to your moms, okay?"
She nodded as she brought out her phone to call her mom and inform her of what happened.
Walking into the bedroom, your heart rate already started to accelerate. You quickly grabbed the essentials that you would need for clothes and ran back down the stairs.
"Y/n, you okay?" Ariana asked you as she walked towards you.
"Just didn't like being in there alone with all that just happened, you know?" You shyly confessed.
"Yeah, I understand." She said softly, stroking your cheek.
"I'm ready to get out of here, how about you?"
"Me too, lets go." She said as you both walked out the house and into the car.
Arriving at Joans was a huge relief for you both. You couldn't wait to hop into bed with your girlfriend knowing you both were safe. Myron and Toulouse were greeted by the pack of chocolate labradoodles as they all began playing with each other.
Joan was quick to make sure you both were alright when you stepped in the door. But with it being nearly 3:30 in the morning, she was just as tired as you both were.
After talking with Joan for a few moments about tonights events, you and Ariana had both changed into a clean pair of clothes and hopped into the guest bed.
Laying your head on your girlfriends chest, she immediately started to comb her fingers through your hair making you fall asleep almost instantly. Her following not long after. You both were so grateful that you could finally get the rest you needed after tonights unforgettable incident.
