DON'T KILL ME, BARON. (A ONE-SHOT STORY)

Don't Kill Me, Baron

I heard a cracking sound from the living room. Like a glass fell on the floor that made it into broken pieces. Like some wall clock that fell because of some shaking.

"Hello? Is somebody there? Mom? Dad? Are you home?" I shouted.

I'm here at my room which is located at the second floor of our house. My parents went away for three days because of some business trip. I'm alone here, right now.

It's already midnight.

The big house is quiet like it is haunted. The sound wasn't followed by another.

I'm scared.

I reached out for my phone at the bedside table. My lights are turned off except for the lamp beside me. I hid under my blanket as I browse my phone, I immediately open the dial's pad and called my Mom.

It's ringing.

I accidentally tap the 'Loudspeaker' on the screen that made my heart jumped. It was the only sound that keeps on echoing in my big room.

'The number you've dialled is unavailable right now. Please try your call----'

I dialled next my dad's number. It was the same voice that I heard when I called my Mom. Saying the same thing!

Mom, Dad, answer the phone! I'm afraid!

I tried calling my bestfriend but his phone's off. Oh my god! Please somebody help me. Remembering what I had saw on the news, makes me want to cry! I don't want to be on the news with a headline of: 'Dalaga, natagpuang patay sa kanyang silid pasado alas tres ng umaga. Suspek, nakatakas.'

As I heard the clock ticking, my tears fell on my cheeks as fast as my heart beats. As soon as the clock strikes at 3:00 am, I heard the door clicked!

I'm shouting inside! I'm totally scared! Mom! Dad! Help me! I run fast quietly jumping into my cabinet, hiding inside as if I will fit. I'm shaking!

"Faye? Where are you?" someone called.

I tried my best not to make a sound of myself crying!

"Faye? It's me. Come out, now. I'm here, you're already safe."

It's familiar. That voice is familiar.

Could it be--?

I crawled up to my bed as I get out from my cabinet.

I think it's my bestfriend.

I carefully walked to my door and opened it a bit to see who was it. I walked down the stairs straight to the kitchen. There's no one in here. I was about to turn around when someone covered my eyes!

"Oh my god! Let me go!" I panicked!

"Hey, chill. It's me." He said as he removed his hands. He turned me around to face him.

"Jack!" I exclaimed. I hug him. I burst out crying!

Oh my god. It's my bestfriend! Thank God!

"Hey! What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He asked as he patted my back.

I keep on crying and wailing! My heart beats a thousand times faster than the usual.
