Chapter 7

Sam and Jenna lied down in Sam's bed in each other's arms.

"I'm never going to California again," Sam said.

"You've been back for nearly a month and every time we have sex, you say that," Jenna said.

"Look," Sam said smiling at Jenna. "I missed you all summer and I feel like an idiot for not inviting you."

"You can just invite me next time," Jenna said.

Jenna's phone began to ring.

"It's Haley," Jenna said picking up her phone. "Hey Haley."

"Hey Jenna," Haley said. "I was wondering if you could watch Keith tomorrow for like an hour."

"Of course," Jenna said.

"Well thank you," Haley said.

"Okay bye!" Jenna said as she quickly hung up her phone.

Sam and Jenna began kissing. At that moment, the doorbell rang.

"You have got to be kidding me," Sam said.

Sam got up and put on his robe.

"I will be right back," Sam said.

Sam walked out of the room, downstairs to the front door. He opened the door to see a man in a black ski mask. The man punched Sam in the stomach and began violently beating him up.

Meanwhile upstairs, Jenna heard a crashing noise.

"Sam?" Jenna hollered.

There was no reply.

"Sam?" Jenna asked again.

Once there was no reply a second time, Jenna got up, put a robe on, and walked downstairs. She was terrified to see the whole downstairs ransacked.

"Sam?!" Jenna screamed. "Sam!"

Jenna walked to the door to see Sam lying on the floor, his face bleeding, unconscious.

"Sam!" Jenna screamed in horror.

Jenna grabbed the landline and dialed 911.

"911," the dispatcher said. "Please state your emergency."

"My boyfriend is unconscious and his face is bleeding!" Jenna screamed.

"Okay," the dispatcher said. "We have your location. There's an ambulance on the way. Do you know what happened?"

"The house has been ransacked!" Jenna shouted. "I think someone was in the house!"

At that moment, Jenna felt someone grab her. Jenna screamed and dropped the phone.

"Ma'am?" the dispatcher asked.

"You bitch!" the masked man shouted. "I'm not going back to jail!"

Jenna elbowed the masked man in the chest and he let her go of her.

"Ow!" the masked man screamed.

The man ran out of the house and Jenna ran out after him. The masked man was nowhere to be seen.
