EVAN IN "SCREAM"


written by Lindsay Taylor

I was like "Sidney" in the Scream movies. I didn't get calls from the killer, but I knew there was something wrong. I was in my house, in my room in the basement. I open my door and start to walk down the hall so I can go upstairs, when I suddenly feel very frightened like someone is down there with me. I'm so scared that I run as fast as I can down the hall, up the stairs and into the living room. Once I get there everything is okay again. This happens about three more times. On the third time I end up running out the front door of my house.

Once I get outside, (I was the only one home before this time.) my younger brother sticks his head outside and asks me what's wrong. I am standing in the front yard, staring at my house in complete horror because I think someone is trying to kill me. I am shaking, almost crying and I scream really loud and run down the road for about half a block before I stop. I'm doing this just as my neighbor, Evan, of course, pulls up to the house next door on a motorcycle. (Why a motorcycle - no idea!) He runs down the street after me to see what's wrong. I'm standing with my back to him shaking really bad and still almost crying. He grabs me by the shoulders, turning me around, and asks what's wrong. I stand there ready to collapse mumbling, "Someone's trying to kill me." over and over. He looks at me with this frightened and worried look on his face and says, "No. No one's trying to kill." I look at him (I'm sure I looked completely psychotic.) and say, "No! Someone's in my house! Someone's trying to kill me!" By this point I'm crying but I don't notice it. He just stares into my eyes and says, "No. It's okay now, everything's okay. You're safe now." (and so on.) He still has his hands on my shoulders and he pulls me to him and hugs me. I put my arms around him and hug him back, while crying into his shoulder and shaking while he tries to calm me down. ~ and dang it- then I woke up
