Have I correctly used ‘right next to me,’ ‘with a sigh,’ ‘sneaked inside,’ and ‘parents’’ (with ‘s’ and an apostrophe)?

Have I correctly used ‘right next to me,’ ‘with a sigh,’ ‘sneaked inside,’ and ‘parents’’ (with ‘s’ and an apostrophe)? Should I really say parents’ instead of parents’ room, which sounds redundant? Should I say ‘walked out of’ or ‘walked out’?

I noticed that my younger brother Marc was sound asleep right next to me. With a sigh, I got up from my bed. I (walked out of / walked out) the room and sneaked inside my parents’.
