Chapter 5, Trix's Recovery

"Turn it on the news child." My Mom said. I grabbed the remote from under my butt and changed it to channel 3.

"Its on ma!" I yelled as I sat back on the couch.

We are advising everyone to stay indoors, there's an 87% chance of a tornado and 100% chance T-storm. Barricade your doors and windows for safety. Stay tuned for more!

"Mom..." I turned my head and she was already gone up the stairs.

"Here, put these on the door!" My mom threw some wooden planks on my lap and I quickly barricaded the door and window.

I then ran upstairs to get my phone to text Trix first and then Jason. I was really worried about them.

~Hey, You Heard About The Weather?

I waited ten minutes and no response, ~Uhhh, Trix? You there?

I started to panic, "Mom!!" I ran down the stairs as quickly as I could, "Trix isn't answering my texts!"

"Um, call her dad sweetie."

I dialed his number and waited.

Ring Ring

The person on the other line picked up. "Hello?"

"Hey, Mr. Jackson? Its Ryan, I was just wondering if Trixie was at the house?"

"No, in fact, I'm worried about her too, last thing she said was she was going to the park."

"Alright, thanks."

"Alright now."

I hung and told my mom the info, "Your not going out there." She said in a demanding tone.

"But mo-" She cut me off.

"No!"

I stormed off into my room, thinking about Trix. I then looked at my window... I opened the window, letting in a powerful gust of wind. It knocked many things off of my dresser and night stand onto the floor.

I grabbed my hoodie and looked out the window, I was on the second story of my house but I wasnt scared of a fall. It was for Trix...

I jumpped onto the roof, but my mom heard. As I walked towards the edge, she came bursting through my door.

"Ryan!!!" She hollered.

"I'm sorry but Trix is family to me as well." I'm jumpped off and started running.

"I'm coming Trix!"
