I feel like this is an important chapter in developing the rest of this story so please let me know your thought throughout so I know what y'all thinking so far.
Sorry for my mistakesAva
Starting blankly up at my ceiling, I stayed silent, listening for any movements I could hear.
It had been a couple of hours since everything went down, and after waking up on couch and realizing Zyaire had went home, I went up to my room and laid down; Zyaire had called a couple of times to check up on Mom, bit he knew as much I did, which was nothing. I haven't hurt a single movement since iv'e come upstairs, despite me leaving my door wide open .
I hadn't slept a wink, seeing as I've been up since then listening out for mom. Crying, walking, mumbling, anything to give me a clue about what she's thinking. Given the timing, Zyaire truly couldn't have picked a worse time to tell her.
Getting frustrated with the silence, I got up, walked across the hall and a door down, before pressing my ear against her door... Hearing nothing, I backed up and started pacing back and forth, counting in my head.
'I should hear her by now' I though
"I'd usually hear her crying, at this time," I thought out loud
Lifting my fist, I hesitated a couple times , before knocking on her door. " Mom, I know you're probably mad... And disappointed in me right now, but I just need to know you're ok, so please just open the door,"
I waited a couple seconds, but heard nothing.
"Or at least, just say something," I begged
Still hearing no response, I placed my hand on the knob and slightly twisted it, before stopping. "I'm coming in then." I called out, nudging the knob, fully opening the door open. As soon as the door opened, my eyes immediately went to the glass surrounding her room, the dark blue sky illuminating the room, making it obvious it was early in the morning.
Bringing my attention to the bed in the middle of the room, I noticed the bed was untouched, aside from a pillow being missing.
" Mom," I called out, as I walked further inside making my way around the bed.
Making it to the side facing the glass, I noticed a small blanket, the pillow, and an empty wine bottle on the floor, yet mom wasn't in here. I went to check her bathroom, and that too, was empty.
I walked through the whole house searching for her, room by room, but they were empty. She wasn't in the house.
It was way too early for her to be outside, the sun wasn't up, and it was still kinda dark Taking in a deep breath, I face timed the group chat I was in with aunt Maya and Angel.
The phone rang about 4 times, and just as I was about to have up, they picked up
"Ava?" they both answered, voice boarded.
"Sorry for calling you so early, but Is mom with either of you? I woke up and I can't find her, she's not in the house."
Hearing a clicking sound, both their screen lit up as they turned on their night lights. " What do you mean she's not in the house? " Aunt Angel asked
"Last night Zyaire came over and told her something, something...bad, she went to her room without saying anything, and I haven't seen of heard her since. Her phone's still in her room and her bed's been untouched."
"What did he tell her?" Aunt Maya asked
"He told her that I've been going been behind her back for the past two years and keeping contact with him," I answered, rendering them silent.
