Brad laid in his bed trying to fall asleep, but he couldn't he kept getting an eerie feeling everytime he was about to fall asleep. He wanted to go to sleep really bad, he didn't care if it was jut for thirty minutes. He had been trying to go to sleep since 10:00, and know it was going on 2:00.
Right at 2:00 he started to hear a voice, it sounded like something was saying "you know you want to do it." Brad was not worried he thought it was just his imagination, and after that he didn't think another thing about it. Then at 2:30 he heard it again "you know you want to do it" but this time it was louder, and then from out of the corner of the room he saw what seemed to be a figure emerging from the darkness. Brad's eyes were focused on the figure, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He closed his eyes thinking that his eyes were just playing a trick on him, but when he opened them the figure was closer. This time he got a better look at the figure, it was a shapeless figure that seemed to have a hood over it's head were you couldn't see it's face. The figure got closer towards the bed, and held it's hand out and said " you know you want to do it" again, Brad noticed in it's hand seemed to be a razor blade. When Brad was sure that it was a razor blade, his face went pale, and a sick feeling came over him so without hesitation he got out of bed, and ran to the bathroom.
Brad went to the sink and splashed water on his face. He was hoping everything he saw in his bedroom was just in his head, but when he looked in the mirror he saw the figure standing behind him. At that moment the only thing he felt was terror, and the feeling brought tears to his eyes, so he closed his eyes again, to get control of his emotions for he knew that he would have to confront this demon that was haunting him, but when he finally opened his eyes it was gone.
Brad walked into his living room terrified because he knew that the figure was not fully gone yet, but when he saw nothing was creeping in the shadows he started to laugh at himself. So Brad started to make his way back toward his bedroom, when he hear the worst sound he had ever heard, it came from the front door, and when he went to see what it was there stood the figure. The figure in a blink of an eyes was in Brad's face, it grabbed his hand and said " you know you want to do it." Then it dropped the razor blade into Brad's hand, Brad broke down into tears and said " ok I will do it. Brad went to his room sat on his bed, and did what the figure wanted him to do he sliced both of his wrists and in no time he would sleep forever.

I'm not sure if English is your first language or not. Either way, check out Strunk and White's Elements of Style. It's a great handbook on all things grammatical.
