I almost left my friend’s house before the sleepover even started. Something about his parents felt wrong. They were polite. Too polite. At dinner, they kept smiling for no reason. Sometimes they’d stop eating and just stare at me. Other times, they’d stare at the wall like someone was standing there. My friend acted completely normal. So I didn’t say anything. After dinner, we went upstairs and played video games until midnight. Eventually, he got tired. We turned off the lights and went to sleep. I couldn’t. I kept feeling like someone was watching me. Then I heard scratching outside the bedroom. Slow scratching. Right against the door. I woke my friend. The scratching stopped. “What happened?” he asked. I told him. He laughed. “You’re probably just tired.” I tried to sleep. Eventually, I did. I woke up sometime later. The room was completely dark. I could feel someone looking at me. I slowly opened my eyes. My friend was lying beside me. Wide awake. Staring directly at me. Then he smiled. Not a normal smile. He didn’t blink. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. I grabbed the front door. Locked. I pulled harder. Nothing. Then I felt someone standing behind me. I turned around. His mother was standing there. Her eyes were wide open. She was smiling. She took one step toward me. Then another. But her body wasn’t moving normally. Her arms bent the wrong way. Her legs twisted with every step. I screamed and ran toward the kitchen. Then I saw an open window. I climbed through it and jumped. I landed hard and ran into the road. I called my parents crying. They came as fast as they could. When I got into the car, I looked back at the house. My friend was standing upstairs by the window. He was waving at me. I thought he was scared too. Then the car started moving. And his smile got wider. That’s when I realized something. He wasn’t waving goodbye. He was waving for me to come back. #scarystories #creepystorytime #horrortok #captionstory #scary @˖ ݁𖥔 ݁˖ 𐙚 ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁˖ - @metaphysiko
