| | So, last night around 3am I was sleeping when I woke up to the sound of something in the front yard. At first I just figured it was an animal, but I heard soft, subtle footsteps on to the front porch. The window right by my bed looks directly into the front porch, so I think whoever was there was literally within a few feet of me. At this point I couldn't be so certain it was a human until I heard a key get inserted into the lock of the front door andI heard a man's voice make this weird grunting noise when he couldn't get in. It was absolutely terrifying. I sat in my bed, shaking and hoping so much that he would not be able to get inside the house. He didn't make it inside. I wasn't sure what to do. I slowly turned on the lamp by my bed within a few seconds of hearing him try to get in. I think that might have driven him away. It was so scary though. I felt frozen and defenseless.
After turning on the light, I called Matt hoping he would answer, just so I could not be alone. When he didn't answer, I decided it was silly for me to just wait on another person to wake up, so I called the police. After describing to them what happened, I slowly walked out of my room into the dining room. I remember that on Friday when some electricians came to work on the house, I told them I would put an extra key right by the front door just in case they needed to get in for any reason. When they were done, they put the key under the front door mat. "What nice people," I thought. I really thought they were putting it there to be nice.
So anyway, I slowly creeped to the front door and turned on the porch light. I peeked outside the front door and did not see anyone. I was too terrified to open the door though. What if someone was there waiting for me? I was completely alone in the house- Steph and Jess were out of town. I called Jessica, who was in San Diego, because I knew she would at least be able to calm me down and keep me company before the cops came.
When the cops finally came, we looked underneath the door mat for the spare key and it wasn't there...I feel so stupid. How could I be so trusting?!
No, the dude wasn't able to get in. They tried. I was completely alone. I don't really feel safe anymore. I just can't stop thinking about what would happen if they had gotten in? When I heard them try to come in, I was completely paralyzed. I was like a deer in the headlights that knew what was coming but was in too much shock to even move. Thank goodness nobody got in. I'm sorry this is such a depressing post. I promise I'll do a recap of Christmas break soon, because it was AWESOME (you know who you are!!)! I just don't know if I can be alone like this anymore...I need a hug. |
