Gerard likes pretty much the same food I like but he's not vegetarian so I'll probably just make something I like plus meat for him. I walk into the kitchen to find something and I start making a sandwich when I hear something from outside. It sounds like bones. Shit. They're here.

 I drop the food I'm holding and run into Gerard's room. He must've heard it to because he is sitting straight up and his eyes are wide as he stares at the window. I put my index finger to my lips signaling for him to be silent. I motion with my hand for him to follow me. He gets up and walks as quietly as possible over to me. We leave the room and look for somewhere to hide. I open a closet door. It's big enough for both of us. Thank God. I don't want to be alone right now and judging by the look on Gerard's face neither does he. We get into the closet and sit down clutching each other in fear hoping the aliens won't come into the house.

After about 5 minutes I hear banging on the door to the house, my hug on Gerard tightens. I look at Gerard's face, he looks so scared, honestly who can blame him.

"It'll be okay, everything will be okay." I whisper, trying to comfort him and myself. There is another loud bang on the door and what sounds like the door breaking. They're in the house. "Oh god no." I whisper.

I hear 3 or 4 aliens talking to eachother. I have no idea what they're saying though. I hear footsteps getting closer to the closet. One alien is leaning on the door.

Gerard's shaking pretty bad and he looks like he's about to cry. I feel my eyes fill with tears and I hug Gerard tighter out of fear and Gerard's grip on me tightens. I squeeze my eyes shut and try not to cry. I hear the aliens that's leaning on the door hit the door and yell something.

"NOBODYS HERE!!" It yells. How do the aliens know English? I wonder...

"FINE WE CAN LEAVE NOW! I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMEBODY OKAY!!" Another one yells. " The orders were to kill everything. I'm not going to risk getting killed because I didn't do my job properly. But, I guess nobody's here. We can leave."

I hear them walk away and leave the house.

"Hold on." One of them says. I hear something that sounds like something hitting wood. "Okay I'm done."

What did they do? What ever it was I'm not looking forward to finding out.

About 5 minutes have passed and we're too scared to leave the closet even though nothing has happened. I sigh and Gerard gives me a look. We're no longer hugging each other so I stand up. I open the door slightly letting a little light in. I peek outside and see no aliens so I open the door a little further and step out.

"No aliens here." I say and look at Gerard, still sitting in the closet. He had moved to avoid the light that spilled in the closet. "What are you? A vampire? Stop avoiding the light and come out here."

"If I'm a vampire how was I running outside when you first found me and dragged me into a fucking alley." He snapped. I smile a little and he just glares at me. I roll my eyes and walk away, looking around the house carefully. The front door is completely fine surprisingly. I could've sworn I heard it being broken down by the aliens.

"Nothing's here!" I yell to Gerard who's now standing in the doorway of the closet.

"I'm pretty sure there is something here, actually. There's furniture and shit here. Just nothing alive." He responds sassily.

"Wow, feisty much." I laugh. He snorts and walks to a window shutting the blinds. He then walks to the bedroom he was in before and shuts the door, locking it.
