"Hello?"

"Tiffany!"

"Alex? What's going on? It's what, 3 in the morning?!"

"I got up to go to the tiolet and there's someone in my house."

"... are you sure?"

"Sure? Of course I'm sure! I live alone! I swear, I heard a loud bang and several crashes." 

"Have you called the police?" 

"Yes, they're on their way but I wanted someone to talk to, you know, in case..."

"Alex it's going to be okay, you're not going to die. Just stay calm okay?" 

"But-but if I do, I want you to know you're my best friend. I want you to know that I have one hundred bucks and all my favourite belongings under the floorboard under my bed. I want you to keep the money and distribute my belongings throughout my family. I want a tree planted somewhere really nice with my ashes mixed with the dirt."

"Okay, okay Alex, but you're not going to die. You'll be okay, you hear me?" 

There was no answer.
