Unwilling

chapter 2

Amelia's POV :

After that incident with that mysterious man, I took a cab and went home. Then I hopped onto my bed and decided to take a good nap.

I woke up to the sound of the wind outside my window. I forgot to lock it, and due to the wind, it's moving and making noise. I entered my balcony to find a beautiful day. It's a bit cloudy with a cool breeze. I could go to the park. I usually enjoy the weather very much. So I decided to go to the park. I wrote a note that I was going to park and pasted it on the kitchen counter. In case my mom comes home, she will see the note and not be worried about my disappearance.

I went out of the house. I decided to walk,as the park is just a few blocks away. I reached the park. I sat on a stone bench and observed all the children playing. I wish I could be like them; I wish I could become a child. A beautiful mother and daughter are playing very happily. They both look so happy. Exactly behind them, I saw two large black cars parked, and one of the windows of the first car was rolled down. The person inside the car was the man from the mall. Looking right at me in the eye. I just stood up and ran to my house.

He seemed creepy, so I really got afraid and ran. I know it's a dumb move—a very dumb move—but I got scared. I reached home, but my mom hadn't come yet. It's weird; she usually doesn't work on Sundays. Even if it is important, she finishes it quickly. I'll call and ask her when she comes home.

So I decided to make dinner at home. I know mom will be tired when she comes home. So I decided to cook dinner for both of us. I decided to make Italian stuffed shells with meat and cheese. It's our favorite dish for dinner. So, finally, the dinner is ready. I made the table and set all the dishes on it. Now it's time to wait for mom.

I woke up to the sound of the door opening. When did I sleep? Ooh, I slept in a chair near the dining table. I looked at the clock to see that it was past midnight. My mom would never be this late. Even on weekdays, she doesn't arrive this late. I went to the living room to see my mom seated on the sofa with her head in her hands.

I went near her, sat beside her, and asked, "What's wrong, mom?"

She sighed heavily and said "Nothing.".

Then to lighten up the mood, I told her that I made our favorite dish, but then she said, "You have dinner and go to bed. I am not feeling well. Good night". 

To say I was sad was an understatement. I really made it with so much love. My mom was never like this. She used to appreciate every little thing I did, even the little things, but now... I can't let my hard work get wasted, so I ate my part of the dinner and went upstairs to my room. I changed into my PJs and fell onto my bed. It's 1 o'clock in the morning, and sleep is not coming anywhere near me. My mind drifted toward my mom. She was never this down. I guess I have to do something to lighten up her mood.

I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm. I switched that thing off and got off my bed. I have a really annoying headache because I didn't get enough sleepoff and got off my bed. I have a really annoying headache because I didn't get enough sleep. I reluctantly got out of bed, had a shower, and changed into some jeans and a T-shirt. I am not very particular when it comes to clothes. It's not like I am a tomboy; I wear girly clothes too; it just depends on my mood.

Then I took my bag and went down.hoping to see mom. But there is a note on the counter. I picked it up, and it says, ' I have some important work so I couldn't make breakfast. Please eat some fruit or bread and go to school. ' 

Great! My morning started out in a very great way. I took an apple from the fridge, locked the house, and went out. The school is just 5 minutes from my home. I managed to plug in my earphones and blast "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift. By the time I reached the school, it was filled with students.

I went to my locker and kept my books, and I saw my best and one and only friend, Anthena. "Hi, how was your weekend?" I asked her. It turned out that she went ice skating. She asked me how my weekend was, and I replied, "The lamest weekend ever' . I filled her in on the information about my mom. She ended up saying it might be just work stress. But I have seen my mom when she was under work stress. But that's nothing like this.

Then we walked to our first class together. Me and Anthena have most of our classes together. After a dreadful and long 3 hours of extreme torture, we are now heading to the cafeteria to have lunch. While we were in the hallway, my phone started ringing. It's Mrs. Grey, my mom's colleague.

"Hello, Mrs.Grey. How are you?"

"I am good, Amelia. But your mom... she..."

With that, my heart rate picked up abnormally.

"What happened? "What's wrong with my mom?"

"Amelia, come to the Citizens Hospital immediately."
