Overwhelming Fear

A moment in my life when I felt an overwhelming fear was when I came home from school one day, and saw that one of my kitchen windows were broken. Instantly I thought that my house was broken into and that there could be someone still inside. I have never felt so scared in my life. I was by myself because both my parents were working, and I just didn't know what to do. I called my parents right away and they told me to calm down and just leave it the way it was. I didn't go upstairs and I was too afraid to walk around anywhere. I sat on my couch with this huge fear that someone could be upstairs hiding or waiting. Police came, and everything was calm again. I began to cry because anything could have happened. When my parents checked upstairs, the drawers were actually out and the clothes were everywhere. Someone must have been up there looking for something. It was scary, but mainly I was safe, and that's all that mattered at that point. It was really scary for me, only because I didn't know exactly what to do if someone actually was inside. Nothing like that has happened again at my house, so I'm fine now. Again, I don't understand some people and their ways of doing things. It just makes the world look bad.
