My Life As Sienna Brown
Part 19
I woke up again in the night, but this time, glanced over at the clock on my far dresser. It read 3:47 am. I could have sworn I heard something... or was it just in my dream. What had I been dreaming about? I tucked my hair behind my ear and hugged my sides as I snuck across the room and peered through the window. There was a figure sitting on the steps of my house- that was strange. Then they looked up... dammit!
I quickly pulled the curtains closed. I couldn't make out who it was from here, so I tip-toed across my floor, stubbing my toes on little things scattered across the floor, then down the hall and stairs. My cookie was still sitting on the counter where I left it. Everything else was cleaned up. I slid across the kitchen and to the front door, where I paused for a second then pried it open. The person sat on the stairs looking the other way. They hadn't yet realized I was standing there. I stepped closer and squinted.
