Little White Lies

___ Prologue___

My heart was pounding.

I kept silent. I couldn't make a sound.

Then I heard it again. The rustling.

It became silent once again. My breathing was the only thing audible.

Click.

That's when I knew I was no longer alone in the house. The house that I thought was suppose to be safe. Just Alejandro and me.

Not anymore.

I heard heavy footsteps making their way around the first floor.

I quickly detangled my way out of my covers and grabbed the house phone from my night stand.

Crouching, I crawled under my bed, phone clutched in my hand.

I put the phone on silent so it wouldn't make noise while I dialed.

I held my breath, my fingers finding the only number I had memorized other than 911. Alejandro.

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.

Why wasn't he answering. I no longer heard the footsteps. My heart skipped a beat. What if the intruder was heading up here?

I start to cry silently.

The split second before I lost all hope in ever hearing Alejandro's voice again, he answered.

"Bueno? Chiquita , are you okay? What's wrong?"

"Ale- Alejandro , some-someone is downstairs," I whispered.

1 beat.

2 beats.

3 beats of silence.

I knew there was nothing that he could do for me right now other than talk to me and say everything will be alright.
