Corey
I miss you too babe. Why are you scared?
Sarah

Sarah
No idea lol it was just on tv. Girl gets stalked and murdered in her house when she’s alone.
Corey
haha i think you'll be alright sarah. It’s just a movie.
Sarah
Yeah i know but im just getting super paranoid. Turned the light on in my room haha.
Sarah
Hiding under the covers.
Corey
Anyone in the house with you?
Corey
Where’d your parents go?
Sarah
“romantic weekend vacation”
Sarah
i know lol. they won’t be back until tomorrow night
Corey
Well just make sure everything’s locked and you’ll be fine
Sarah
The front door. It’s like a little bit open but i could’ve swore i closed it all the way
Corey
maybe it just didn’t catch all the way, not a big deal.
Sarah
no its weird, i definitely closed it. I’m sure
Corey
you’re just scared and are overthinking everything
Corey
no one actually does anything like in those movies
Sarah
That’s not really true
Corey
You told me you were being paranoid
Corey
you’re fine, really. Nothing to worry about
Corey
It’s late here. I should really go to bed soon babe.
Sarah
don’t leave me corey. I need someone to talk to.
Corey
Ok ok I’ll stay don’t worry.
Corey
You should try going to sleep soon.
Corey
Sarah what? what’s happening?
Corey
Of course you did babe
Corey
There’s a lot of sounds out there you only notice them when you’re scared
Sarah
No this is different.
Sarah
It was like a bump. From downstairs.
Corey
Don’t you keep the cat downstairs?
Sarah
I think I'm gonna check it out
Sarah
Why? do you think it’s dangerous?
Corey
You’ll freak yourself out. Just try to forget about it
Corey
Babe that movie just freaked you out.
Corey
Our town’s way too boring for that stuff to happen haha
Corey
You’ll be fine, i promise.
Sarah
The bump. even louder this time.
Sarah
Something’s down there.
Corey
It’s all in your head.
Corey
It was probably the cat.
Sarah
Someone could have known that I was home alone.
Corey
You locked the doors right?
Sarah
It’s dark down here.
Corey
Turn on some lights. That way you’ll see nothing’s wrong.
Sarah
The guest room door is open.
Corey
So? You must have left it open.
Sarah
It’s been closed for a while.
Sarah
I cant think why it'd be open.
Corey
Your parents might have been looking for something.
Corey
Just go back to bed.
Sarah
I can see something moving.
Sarah
Something under the bed.
Corey
You're just freaked out.
Corey
You should really try to get some sleep.
Sarah
and the cat is right here with me.
Corey
It could just be the pipes creaking. They do that when you don’t use them for awhile
Sarah
The floorboards are creaking not the pipes
Corey
It could be the house setting in.
Sarah
It came from the kitchen. I’m going back up.
Corey
you still think there’s someone there?
Sarah
I keep hearing a tapping.
Sarah
It’s like footsteps.
Corey
It could be the wind
Sarah
Oh come on, it’s never the wind. Someone’s in the house.
Sarah
I think I’m going to call stacy, see if she can pick me up.
Corey
It’s almost 2 am sarah, you shouldn’t bother her.
Sarah
is it really that late?
Corey
yes. and you watched a scary movie, you’re alone, so you keep thinking it’s going to happen to you.
Corey
if you were any real danger you’d call the police, not talk to me.
Sarah
I guess you’re right.
Sarah
I’m going to check out what’s that noise upstairs.
Corey
Not because I think someone’s there just don’t give yourself a panic attack or anything.
Sarah
I’m in the kitchen.
Sarah
I don’t see anything. The shadows of the trees in the backyards are pretty creepy though.
Corey
But there’s nothing to be afraid of, right?
Sarah
It’s like some times the trees sway but only certain branches. Like the shadows are moving.
Corey
That happens. Could also be clouds covering up the moonlight.
Sarah
I can’t stay in this kitchen. I keep hearing steps in the distance. I don’t like the shadows.
Corey
The mind always plays tricks when you’re scared. Remember the cat?
Sarah
Ok I’m starting to feel silly about all this haha
Corey
Alright thats better. Are you heading to bed now?
Sarah
Yeah. Thanks babe you’ve been such a good help. I love you.
Corey
I love you too sarah.
Sarah
I think I’m gonna turn the light on in my room though haha it can’t hurt.
Corey
Wait, wasn’t the light already on in your room? Why was it off?
Corey
Sarah are you there?
