Answers:
What your feeling is normal!. Grown people start feeling the same fear of "the unknown"!. You are alone and have probably seen every scary movie with that scenario ever made!.!.!.!.so don't panic!.!.!.!.you are normal!. I would ask your parents if it's okay with them if a girlfriend(s) stays the night with you while they are away, just so you don't have to be alone!. I'm sure they'd be okay with it!.!.!.!.I know I would!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you talk to your parents about it they can take you to see your doctor who may have recommendations on how to deal with your anxiety!. Likely your doctor will offer suggestions on how to deal with the anxiety without drug therapy first!. This is the best option!. If his/ her suggestions do not work, you may need a small dose of anti- anxiety medication to help calm you at night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Aw, it's ok!.
I get scared like that sometimes too!.
It sort of reminds me of a White Stripes song, This Protecter!.
"You thought you heard a sound, there's no one else around!.!.!."
I usually turn on the TV and watch until I just fall asleep or listen to my iPod and crank it up so I can barely think!.

I hope it works for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
