It happens when your alone in your room, for a brief moment all background noise fades away and you  hear your named called out by your mother. you get up and go to her to see what she wanted, but she insists she never called to you. you figure its just your brain replaying sounds in your head and you shove the thought aside, well for me this was an everyday occurrence, it has been happening since i was 8 when we moved into our new house. for the longest time i thought it was my mom tricking me, trying to scare me, but as time went on she became more concerned and sometimes angry when i accused her of calling my name. i am 17 now and i have gotten used to the voice, i only go to my mom when she calls my cellphone or comes to me in person. i had learned to ignore the voice and grew accustomed to it, its just that recently it had been getting louder and i still couldn't figure out where it was coming from. so i started to stand in different places around my room everyday until i heard it, but day after day it was the same...distant..voice. it was on the seventeenth day around 11:00 at night, that i heard it louder than i have ever heard it before i was not pleased because when i heard i was standing in front of my closet door. i felt a cold bead of sweat form at my brow as i was summoning the courage to open the door, when my fingers touched the doorknob it was cold, very cold, it sent a shiver up my spine as i closed my hand around it and i began to shake as i turned the knob. when i opened the door and peaked into the darkness i thought i could make a figure out but wasnt sure, so i hit the light switch.....and i saw her or it, whatever the hell it was, her back was turned to me, i nervously gulped and said, 'mom?' she spun her head around without turning her body, she had no eyes, just empty eye sockets, i was frozen, too scared to breath. reality was sinking away i was surrounded by darkness, there was a brief pause and i could feel her feeding on my fear...then she replied 'yes?' the voice was so loud i closed my eyes and covered my ears i could feel warm blood trickling out of my ears on my hands and i thought 'its not real don't open your eyes' as soon as the thought entered my mind, my eyes were forced open her nose was almost touching mine, her skin was pale and almost transparent i tried to scream as her flesh melted slowly away but i couldn't, she then slowly pressed her cheek against mine i could feel my skin melt into hers it was like my whole entire body had just been engulfed in flames, i collapsed... about an hour later my mom found me in the closet and i woke up in a hospital bed. my head was throbbing and i was pretty sure i had a concussion. i looked in the mirror next to me a good portion of the skin on the left side of my face was distorted and felt waxy. the pores were gone they had had been melted over,  i screamed at the top of my lungs, at the same moment my mom ran in the room followed by some nurses  she embraced me and repeated the words 'i am here your okay' over and over.

i am 18 now, about to graduate we moved to a new house after the incident my face is back to normal mostly, except for a few scars because of plastic surgery, but above all these things what i am most relieved about is, after moving out of the old house i haven't heard the voice since.

Nice imagery and a creepy story! However, you really need to break that into intelligible paragraphs.
