It was three o'clock in the mourning. It was a stormy night. I was woken up by a sound from outside and it sounded like someone was trying to break-in again. As I grabbed my gun and put on my shoes and went outside to see what it actually was, I was at the end of my driveway and I looked around the property and saw no one or anything that could of made the sound that woke me, then I looked up the street and saw a shadowy figure running toward me, so I pointed my gun and yelled I got a gun don't come any closer or I'll shoot.

Then I heard a girls voice that said "don't shoot Cody, It's me Stacy."

As I put my gun down and tried to get a good look at the shadowy figure, just then she walks under the street light.

Then I saw that it was Stacy and said "What the hell are you doing here this late at night."

"My father was being an ass to me again, so I just left and you're the only one that I know that I'm welcomed to come to anytime of the night." She said.

As I said "Well yeah, but, why didn't you call so I knew you were coming, cause when I heard something outside, it scared the shit out of me and that's why I grabbed my gun, cause some one tried to break-in about two months ago." "That's what I thought it was." "Let's go inside cause it's raining and I don't want to get to wet." I told Stacy. "Although you look like your wet as it is anyway." I said as I smiled and laughed.

"You're such a smartass." Said Stacy laughing.

"What are you doing here again?" I asked again.

"Well my dad was being an ass and I just left." She replied.

"Why did you come here and not your boyfriends house?" I asked

"Well for your information he dumped me about a month ago." She said

"Oh why did he break up with you?" I asked, "If you don't mind me asking." I Asked.

"Well, I guess he liked one of the cheerleaders at his college." She said, " I guess that's what happens when you're a big quarterback at a big college." She said.

"So you came to me instead, wait don't I live like 30 miles away from where your dad lives, How did you get here." I asked "Please don't tell me that you walked." I added

"No I didn't walk all the way here my car just ran out of gas about a mile down the road and I walked the rest of the way, that's why I'm so wet, I accidentally slipped on your porch steps cause of the ice and hit the door with my boot, that's probably the sound that woke you up, then I decided to go back to my car cause I figured that you didn't want to see me right now cause of that last argument we got in to, so I decided to walk back to my car cause I forgot my cell phone in the glove compartment anyway to call Jennifer." She said.

"Who's Jennifer?" I asked, "and also, why did you think that I wouldn't want to see you, didn't you get the message I left you about a three months ago, about a week after we broke up from the argument." I said "Your dad answered and he said that he would tell you." I added.

"Jennifer is a cousin of mine on my moms side, and did you actually believe my dad." She said while laughing.

"Well, now I can tell it was a bad idea." I said. "The next time you want to get a hold of me keeping calling until you talk to me cause my dad never tells me about people that called for me that day." She said.

"Oh shit look at the time it's already 1:00 in the mourning and I have to get up at 6 and be at work by 7:30, so I'm going to go to bed now and if you want you can crash on the couch and then I'll drop you off at your house on my way to work cause I head that way anyway, we'll just have to leave a little earlier then what I usually do." I said.

"Is it ok if I just stay here tomorrow instead of going home?" Asked Stacy.

"Well I don't get off until about 5:30 tomorrow evening." I said.

"I don't care, I just don't want to go home." Said Stacy.

"Why don't you want to go home cause your dad will chill out by the time I drop you off." I said

"I don't want to talk about it right now but I just don't want to go home right now." She said.

"All right All right calm down, I won't make you go home if you don't want to then, I guess." I told her.

"Thanks." Said Stacy.

"Yeah sure." I told her. "I'll just be right up stairs if you need me at all and if your sleeping when I wake up for work I'll try not to wake you up while I'm leaving." I said.

"Ok, thanks for letting me stay here tomorrow." Stacy said.

"Yeah sure anytime, just let me know earlier so I know that your staying and I can fix up the guest bedroom." I told her while laughing. "Just joking." I added.

"All right, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Said Stacy.

"Oh yeah before I forget cause I usually do, I'll leave my cell phone number on the kitchen counter in case you need to get a hold of me at work." I yelled down the staircase.

"Ok thanks I'll make sure I do if I need anything." Yelled Stacy.

A Couple Of Hours Later..….

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, AHHH damn it I got to go to work now. I mourned as I got out of bed.

Ow what the fuck was that cause it fucking hurt, oh shit it was my damn side table again, I really need to move that damn thing again, cause I'm always running in to the damn thing. I said to myself.

Creep, creep, creep, I really need to fix those damn steps cause they're loud. I whispered.

"Oh, your up Stacy, I didn't think you would be up after last night but I guess you are." I said.

"Hey, it's about quarter to seven, are you sure that you don't want to go home now cause I figured I would check one last time to see if you changed your mind last night?" I asked.

"No I'm going to stay, I was thinking about going home but I'm deciding to stay here." She said.

"All right, oh like I said last night, my cell number is on the kitchen counter, if you need to get a hold of me." I said as I was walking out the door. "Bye I'll talk to you later tonight when I get home from work, I get off about 5:30 or so depending how busy we get before my shift ends, and if you decide to go anywhere, can you please lock the door, cause I don't want anybody to break in again. I said

"All right, I'll make sure I lock it, bye." She said.

5:30.…. Arriving home.

"Hey Stacy, I'm home." I yelled as I got in the door. "Hey Stacy where are you." "What the fuck happened here, everything is all knocked over and broken." "Oh shit don't tell me she forgot to lock the door when she left and someone broke in again, son of a bitch." I said to myself. "I told her to lock the fucking door before she left." I said. "I wonder if she was smart to grab her cell phone on the way to her house or where ever she was going with her cousin? I asked myself. "Depending if she got a hold of her cousin" I told myself. "Oh shit if someone did break in I wonder if they found the safe with the money and all of my papers in it." "I'd better go check real quick."

Squeak

"All right good they didn't get to it everything is still here." I signed with relief. "Thank god." I said.

"Oh shit then I wonder what happened to Stacy, I wonder if she was here when it happened." I asked myself.

"I'm going to call her house and see if she's there." I said.

"Oh shit what was her number I forget, it's been so long. Oh wait I wonder if her dad puts it in the phone book. All right where are the letter M's where are there, here they are, all right now where is Matthews at." I whispered to myself. "Oh here they are. Ok let me see what was her dad's first name. Oh yeah it's Don I think. Oh damn it isn't listed." "Well before I do anything I better report this to the police."

Ring, Ring, Ring….
