By the time we'd gotten home, I'd calmed down. I'd reasoned with myself that he probably didn't realise it was me.
I managed to force down four slices of ham, mushroom and pepperoni pizza as I sat curled up on the sofa.
By the time the second movie had finished I was tired and there was no way I could make it through the third.
“I'm off to bed!” I yawned as I stretched.
“But we have another one to watch!” Kasey-Ray looked wide awake. She could probably watch another two or three movies before she started to feel sleepy.
"I'll watch it tomorrow, or you can tell me all about it." I laughed as I ruffled her hair. “Night.” I leaned over to give each of them a kiss. “I love you all!”
“Love you too!” They chorused.
Once I climbed into bed, I fell straight asleep and it was not long before I was dreaming about him.
We were back in the DVD shop again, but this time when I knocked into him, he lifted his arms and placed them on me, stopping me from moving, then he leaned down to kiss me. His lips were mere centimetres away from mine when I heard a loud banging coming from the shop window.
“I warned you!” I heard Jessica hiss, making me jump away from Sean. She was furious as she pounded on the glass. Everything around me slowly disappeared leaving me standing in a darkened room. Jessica was still pounding on the window. The banging noise was pulling me from the darkened room and dream. My eyes opened and the familiar surroundings of my bedroom came into view. Then I heard the banging again. It was coming from my window. I couldn't see who it was as my curtains were shut and I was too scared to go and look, because I knew it would be Jessica. She had found out that I'd seen Sean and come to deliver her warning.
Pulling my knees up to my chest, I rocked myself back and forth. I was so scared. I wanted to scream but there was no sound.
Then my bedroom door swung open, making me catch my voice and scream as the light switched on.
It was my Dad and he stood there half asleep wearing just his boxer shorts and a t-shirt.
“What's going on?” He demanded, rubbing his eyes as he looked from me to the window, but all I could do was shake my head and start crying.
My Mum wasn't far behind him and she quickly came to sit beside me, placing an arm around my back.
Taking a deep breath, whilst shaking with nerves, my Dad stepped towards my window and pulled my curtains open. Then he sighed and started to laugh nervously.
“Stupid tree!”
He slowly opened my window, carefully trying not to let the wind pull it from his hands, as he reached out and snapped a few branches off the tree and threw them to the ground outside.
“There!” He closed the window and shut my curtains, looking relieved. “I'll take off a few more branches tomorrow. You try and get some sleep.” He walked over and gave me a kiss, then left with my Mum to go back to bed.
No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get back to sleep. Rather than switching on my TV, I decided to go downstairs and watch TV there, and that's where my Mum found me at 7:30am, fast asleep on the sofa.
“Morning,” She cheerily said as she sat down to change the channel, after placing a blanket on me. "How long have you been down here for?"
“Dunno,” I shrugged with a yawn.
“Your Dad and I are going for a walk later, if you want to come?”
“Maybe.” I was that tired, I didn't have the energy to talk. The next thing I knew it was after 10am and Kasey-Ray was sat next to me.
“You don't half snore.” She teased. She ducked out of the way, as I launched a pillow at her. I lazily got up off the sofa and padded up to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I went to my room and straight to my window, to see where the noises were coming from. I didn't feel scared, maybe because it was daylight, but I needn't have worried; it was my Dad. He was up the ladder, sawing at the tree. He caught a glimpse of me waving and smiled; I turned back to find some clothes.
