What to do if someone breaks in?

Question

I'm 14 and I babysit my 7 year old and 4 year old brothers while my parents are out getting groceries and going to work. I don't have my phone right now, so I can't call the police if something happens. I live in a pretty safe neighborhood, but you never know. 
   What should I do if I see someone trying to break in?
   What can I do to make sure my brothers and I get out safely? 
   IF they succeed and break in, is there a way for the scenario to have a happy ending?

No (good) parent is going to leave a kid home alone or a babysitter home with younger children without any phone. Perhaps there is a home phone. If not, talk to you parents about it. And if someone breaks in, quietly go out the back down. Protect in order of youngest to oldest. No screaming, just leave and go to a neighbours house. Maybe ask an adult with a phone to stay with you guys.
