Keep your eye on it!
You decide that everything that is happening is too much. You reject the call and move to the window in which you saw the black figure. The curtain is already open. You pull the window open and leap out. You cut your arm on the window in your haste, but you don't even notice. You just run. Once you are at least a mile from your house you lie down on the sidewalk. You try to sleep, but you can't because of a combination of all the action that happened and the rough, uncomfortable sidewalk you are lying on. After a few agonizing hours you see the sun come up. You slowly walk back to your house, and when you get there you see your dad's car in the driveway. You go into the house through the window you left open the previous night. Your dad is waiting for you in your room. “I was so worried about you!” he exclaims, his voice breaking a little bit at the end.
“Last night was too much for me,” you explain. “I had to get out of the house, and I fell asleep on the sidewalk near the grocery store.” You actually had no idea where you were, but you felt that it might comfort your dad to tell him.
“After what happened to Mom... I couldn’t imagine losing you too,” your dad says as he breaks down and starts to sob. You embrace him in a hug and stay there for a while.
Within a week life has gone almost back to normal. You are going to school and doing your homework. You dad just started going to work again. You are planning on a having a funeral for your mom within the next month. Of course, nothing will be the same ever again. Losing a parent is difficult no matter what, especially when it is so sudden. Your dad also seems to have changed. He seems to be sadder than he was before. Eventually you forget about the glowing eyes outside your house on that day. You decide that it must have been your imagination. You never see anything like that again.
