Ashlen

Missing

(This chapter is Trent's point of view)

There's a girl named Ashlen. The whole town knew her. Her family died when she was a baby so she never got to meet them. Trent was a citizen of the town. He knew her ever since she was a child. They both were in high school and he had a liking for her. One day she wasn't at school and he thought she was sick but the next day he heard on the news that a local girl disappeared and he saw that it was a picture of Ashlen. He dropped everything in his hands,"No! No! No! No! No!" His parents walked in and they saw him on his knees staring at the TV. They looked over and saw what he saw. They sat in shock, "Oh dear," his mother said holding her hand to her mouth. After he recovered from the shock, he got up and ran out the door to see if it was true. When he got there he saw that there were cops everywhere. "No!!" He yelled, then he heard a voice from behind him "Trent?." He turned and saw it was his friend Derk. He looked up are saw the cops. "Did something happen over there?" He asked, smiling as in a joke. "Yeah Derk, a girl name Ashlen is missing, she used to live there." Trent said with a serious expression. "Oh the girl on the news. Pshhh why should we care?" Derk asked. Trent took him by the collar angrily and said. "What did you say?! She was a big part of this town dude!" Derk looked at him in the eyes "Whoa dude calm down, I was only joking. Gees." Trent let him go. "Tell Mr. Phoenix I won't be here today." He said as he walked off

Later that day, Trent sat in his room thinking of what he can do to find Ashlen. "Where could she be? She would never leave without saying good bye." After thinking that, he got an idea, "She might have left some clues". He jumped up from his bed and ran out the door, "I'll be back later mom!" He yelled from outside the door. "Good luck", she yelled back to him from the door. Trent turned around and waved good bye and continued running for Ashlen's house. When he got there the cops were gone and it was silent. He took his key that Ashlen had given him to unlock the door. He heard a voice from behind him, "Sir, what are you doing?" He turned around to see it was the neighbor Ms.Kristen. "Oh Ms. Kristen. How are you?" he asked smiling. "Good, but I asked young man, what are you doing here?" She said and he scratched his head "I came to get my stuff." He said nervously. "Oh you must be Ashen's boyfriend." She said and he lighten up. "Yeah..." He said and she laughed lightly "I won't tell the cops you were here. Go find her and bring her home boy." She said as she walked away smiling and he smiled and unlocked the door. Is someone waiting for him or is there something mysterious in the house?.....
