I woke up to the noise of creaking floorboards. I sat up in my bed and listened closely. Nothing but the sound of me inhaling and exhaling air. I stopped breathing for a second to check what time it was and noticed that it wasn't my inhaling and exhaling making that noise it was someone else. Who would be in my house at 3:17am? I quietly slipped on my slippers and tugged my silk dressing gown over my shorts and vest. I tiptoe over to the door and slowly open it. A man. A random tall bulky man wearing nothing but black with a wooly hat and sun glasses on. I quietly shut the door , get my phone and wonder if I should call the police. I can see my finger hovering over Joe's name. Why aren't I calling the police? Why am I texting Joe?
---------------JOE'S POV-------------
I was halfway through having a great dream about me and Jessica and what happened yesterday. I was just about to kiss her, only a few centimetres away from her li- BRRRR BRRR BRRR BRRR.
I turn to my side and notice my phone flashing. I pick it up and squint because the bright light burns my eyes.
'HELP'
'COME QUICK'
'PLEASE'
All from Jessica?
I stumble out of bed and throw on some joggers and some running shoes before I run to Jessica's house. I don't stop until I get there. Finally after about seven minutes of running I reach Jessica's door. I slowly creep in and see a tall muscly man standing with a bag full of things by the popcorn machine by the cinema. I slowly grab a large peanut bag that was on the table near the door. I tiptoe over to the man and quickly shove the bag over his head. Soon enough he stopped struggling and fell onto the floor. I pick him up and tie is hands and legs up with a purple rope that was hanging from the fireplace. I run up to Jessica's bedroom to find her on the floor with her hands over her face. I run up to her and pick her up.
--------------JESSICA'S POV-------------
I feel someone strong lift me up I had tears in my eyes so everything was blurry.
"GET OFF ME GET OFF!"I scream as loud as I could.
"If you insist." I hear him say as he puts me down.
I rub my eyes and notice that Joe was standing in front of me smirking. I hit his shoulder playfully and jump onto him wrapping my legs around his waists and my arms around his neck.
"Where is he?" I ask still on Joe.
"Come on." He said putting me down and leading me downstairs.
I see someone on the floor knocked out with their hands and legs tied up.
I see Joe dial 999 on his phone while I pick up the bag full of my stuff in.
I just finished putting back all my stuff when we hear a loud knock on the door. I was just about to answer it but Joe beat me to it.
