"Georgia is currently facing troubling situations with drugs and missing women in the state. The youngest and and latest missing person is 15 year Layla Everett, she is now the 16th victim that is now missing. This has unknowingly risen to an epidemic that is deeply concerning. Layla was last scene leaving school and didn't make it home when she was supposed to. This has started a speculation if possible trafficking of women and now children, since no bodies have been discovered. The missing women prior to Layla, were prostitutes who were known to go absent for periods of times. Authorities and families are asking if anyone has seen any of these missing women or Layla to please place a call to the number below. On top of the crisis of missing women, early this morning, the coast guard intercepted a boat and discovered several kilos of marijuana, cocaine and heroin. This has been the second boat stopped in the last three months and it is causing another additional concern of drug trafficking. Governor Houghton......."

"This is getting ridiculous.....you know, if they ain't find any of those women......best believe they got them in some typa sex ring....." I looked at my aunties over the stove. They had a glass of wine each, staring at the tv.

Liz looked up at the screen, shaking her head softly. "This is just sad, people only think this happens on tv and it's right here out our backdoor."

We were all at the house, our aunts and uncle came over to cook dinner and we'll eat here. I looked at my phone and thought about it, we're taking this as a friendly situation that can maybe be something else.

I dunno if I'm ready yet......

Me: my aunties making dinner, u wanna come over?

Corey......we knew each other since highschool. I'm not saying that I was the baddest female on campus......but I didn't understand why the smartest kid in school always wanted to be around me. Corey was this skinny kid with glasses and an oddly cute unibrow.....but, he was always nice to me. My sister and cousin always told me that there was a crush somewhere in there. I didn't believe it, until a couple weeks ago.

Corey straight up told me that he did have a crush on me. I'm flattered, especially by how he had grown. He was a programmer for Playstation, that came back home to Savannah and was doing really well for himself.

Corey: yeah, I was just gonna ask you if you wanna go somewhere

I bit my lips, fighting back the smile. Corey also mentioned that he is single and was open to dating when I felt ready. I briefly told him what happened and where my head was on trying to date.....Corey told me he'd be patient. If I just needed an outside friend to talk to.....he's also here.
