"Quinn! Quinn! Quinn where are you?" I heard my mother yell at me from down stairs.
"Shit, shit, shit!" I quietly yelled at myself trying to hide all of the evidence that I have gathered over the two years since Mila disappeared. My mother thinks that I am crazy, that I need to give up on finding Mila just like the cops did. She wants me to just believe that Mila ran away because that's what everyone else believes, but I just can't. There is more to Mila's disappearance than her just running away because of her toxic family life. I know how much Mila hated her family but I know that no matter how much she hated them she would never leave. I knew this because even though she hated them for certain things that they did, her love for them always outshone the hate.
"Quinn, are you in there?" I jumped as my mother lightly knocked on the door before she opened it
"You do know how knocking works right? Usually you knock, ask if someone is in the room, and then wait for them to invite you in before you open the door." I replied sarcastically as I shoved the forever growing box under my bed before I turned around to face her.
"Are you still trying to find her?" She asked nodding towards the box as I made eye contact with her
"Mom-" I sighed as she cut me off
"What have I told you Q? She ran away, if she wanted to be found she would have left something behind. Why can't you just accept that? Why wont you just accept that she is gone and she has been gone for two years now. You need to get over it. Mila left and got the life that she has always wanted, you need to do that too. You need to figure out what you wanna do, you're 18 now Quinn. You haven't even talked about college or even getting a job because the only thing that you have been focused on is finding Mila and it needs to stop." She finally finished the same speech that has been giving me every day for the past two years with a sigh. "I mean it Quinn, you need to stop."
"I know mom" I replied as she turned to walk out of my room "I just can't." I finished quietly to myself as she closed my door .
