I looked at her as she began to fall asleep in my arms. She then woke up jumping as if she had a nightmare, causing me to jump. I looked at her and mouthed the words "what's wrong?" She just looked at me with a straight face and shook her head.

"Do you have any food?" Candy said as she began to move away and stand up. It was about five at night now, and I could tell she was hungry.
I shook my head no. She looked at me and whispered "I'm going to go get some food, do you feel okay enough for me to leave for a little?" I nodded my head and she kissed my forehead. She grabbed my sweatshirt and walked out of the door.

As I waited for her to get back I pulled the covers up and grabbed the remote. Maybe some gaming would get my mind off of the pain. I lied, I'm still hurt. But I can't tell Candy because she'll get upset. 

About an hour later, she still wasn't back yet... I don't know what's happening so I decide to take my phone out and text her "are you okay?" And waited for a response.

30 minutes later, no response. I got really worried. I decided to try and call, but that had no answer either. I got really worried so I decided it was time to go out and look for her.
