You could still hear the rain pounding against the house, and the wind screeching through the cracks. It made my skin shiver, making it feel as if you were completely alone with no one to help you if something were to happen. Curling up on the couch in my living room, I hugged the blanket closer to my body as I punched my best friends phone number in my cell phone. Tapping my fingers on my thigh I waited for Cathy to answer.
"Hello?" she answered on the forth ring. "Hey, Cathy. I was just wondering if you wanted to come over here tomorrow and hang out for awhile?" I was hesitant of her answer, for the past few months I had been stalked by my ex husband Ryan Cox, he had become so obsessed about me, that he even was willing to try and attempt to kill me, just so no one else could have me. "Um, I see no problem about that. Erin, are you doing okay? You sound scared?" I sighed mentally, leave it t Cathy to sense something wrong with me, "No, I'm good, so I'll see tomorrow okay."
"Okay girl, keep safe, good night."
Snapping the phone shut, I got up from the couch and went to go and make sure the doors were all locked. Even though I was the only person to live in this area I was still wary of anything that might could possibly happen.
After turning off all the lights I decided that I wanted to sleep on the couch tonight considering the fact that it was already warm downstairs and there was a television set.
I huddled back up on the couch and started to flick through the channels, not long before falling asleep I thought I heard something scratching at my back door.
