2: I'm Not Crazy, Am I?

A flash of red and blue could be seen through the front windows of your home, no doubt alerting everyone on your block of the possible trouble you were currently in. You inwardly groaned at the thought of the nosey neighbors that you would have to deal with later on. But that was the least of your problems right now.

You watched as the officer, the one who had been taking down your statement, jotted something else down onto his clipboard before he said, "I'm sorry, kid, but there's really nothing else we can do," he paused, taking note of the look of frustration on your face as you stood there in your pajamas. "Just make sure that all your doors and windows are locked."

"I'm telling you, there's someone or something in this house!" you insisted, pointing at the same spot down the hall that you had led them to earlier when their search had started. "You have to believe me. I know what I saw."

"I wanna believe you, kid, but my men and I have searched this place from top to bottom and we've found nothing," he stated, trying his best to put you at ease although he knew his words were most likely doing the opposite, but he went on with his explanation regardless. "There was no sign of a forced entry or any sort of entry to show that there was an intruder here, to begin with."

"This isn't some figment of my imagination from watching too many horror movies. I know what I saw," you repeat yourself, desperately trying to get him to understand. He did understand for the most part, but through the eyes of a teenager who lived alone with their dog, he probably didn't see much credibility in your words.

You had been more frightened at first, wide-eyed and a shaking mess when they came knocking at your front door after your 911 call. But that soon faded into anger, especially after they had asked if you had been taking any drugs or drinking alcohol prior. And while it was part of their job to ask, you couldn't help but feel like it was being used as another excuse not to believe your story.

Since it seemed like you were no longer in any potential danger, the officer gave you some departing words before he left. "You take care now, and if anything else happens just give us a call." You thanked him and then he was on his way again, shutting the front door behind him as he followed his two fellow officers outside to their patrol cars, leaving you to lock up on your own.

Once they drove off, you double-checked the lock on the front door, shutting the curtains to your left completely so no one could see inside from the street. The living room fell silent again, and all you could hear now were the jumble of thoughts inside your head, trying to search for any sort of possible explanation to all this, but you couldn't make sense of anything at the moment.

With a deep sigh, you continued to move on throughout the house, making sure that the entire place was secure, checking that all the doors and windows were locked. Despite seeing this as pointless, you did it in order to give yourself greater peace of mind. And all throughout that process, you couldn't help but feel like you were being watched the entire time.

Grabbing your phone charger from off your bedside table and Copper's bed, you turned off the lights, closing the door behind you before making your way over to the master bedroom located down the very end of the hall. Its door, which was usually left ajar, was wide open now after being searched by the police earlier.

Your golden retriever was in there waiting for you already, sitting farthest away from the door in the far corner of the room where you had left him. His fear hadn't seemed to have worn off either. Upon your arrival though, he perked up a bit.

You figured this was the best course of action. Your bedroom didn't feel so safe anymore, and you knew that if you wanted any chance at getting any sleep, you would have to stay in your parents' bedroom where there was at least a bathroom, so you wouldn't have to set foot outside for the rest of the night or early morning now if you wanted to be precise.
