The Beautiful Memories

I go in another neighborhood

I go up to another door and knock

"Hello! Who are you?" They ask politely "Hello I need help please, I've been kidnapped," I was covered in dirt and sweat "How do I know you're not lying?" They ask "Just at least let me in and I can explain everything, a car is looking for me," I say

"If you say so, come in," They welcome me "Thank you so much," I say "So go on," they say "So..."

I explain everything that happened.. except the part where the girl got shot. I can't tell anyone or they'd never let me in

"I need to call my mom," I end the story with "Oh! Here you go." I start to walk away in another room so she didn't hear me

~~~~~~~~~~
Hello?- Mom

Stay at a nearby gas station mom I'll get there as soon as I can- Aurelia

But- Mom

I don't want you hurt. Please and tell me which one, text this phone your location when you get there.- Aurelia

Ok fine.- Mom

~~~~~~~~~

I hang up running up to them, because we need to leave quick.

"First, what's your name?" I ask "Cecilia," they say "Nice name," I say smiling "What's yours?" They say "Oh god we have to go get in the car! I'll tell you then," I rush them into the garage

"OH OH!" They say "I'm gonna lay in the back seat on the ground and you drive to the location my mom is at, and then I'll be on my way ok?" I say "Oh alright and what is your name?" They start the car and opens garage "It's Aurelia," I say "Wow pretty name," they say

"Thanks, well I'm gonna try and get some sleep I guess, how long will it be?" I say "Wait you're really trusting me? And it'll be like an hour or so," They sound confused "At this point I need to trust anyone," I say

"I see," they say "Why are you trusting me? The story must sound crazy... I got kidnapped out of the blue," I say "If you aren't lying then it was the right choice so I'm still gonna be the good person either way," they say "Don't you have other stuff to attend to?" I ask "I don't I'm pretty lonely over here, the only person who visits me is my sister," they replied

"Do you have work?" I ask "I only work 3 days a week which I go back in 2 days," they replied "Oh ok, well I'm gonna get some rest," I say closing my eyes "Ok sweet dreams." They say

—past—

Aurelia: 15

"Honey there's nothing to worry about" Aurelia's mom hugged her while gunshots went off "Why did you even bring me here" Aurelia starts to cry "I thought time together would be nice"Aurelias mom says "This is all your fault, now we're trapped in this shooting" Aurelia starts getting mad at her.

"Aurelia I didn't know this would happen, I just wanted quality time with you" Aurelia's mom starts to cry "I should've never agreed to this, you put us in danger" Aurelia says

They were hiding under a table together at a mall. The doors got locked but we could never be too sure.

Aurelia's mom cries "You're so annoying mom! Please stop crying I don't wanna see or hear it right now." Aurelia gets angry, her mom wipes her tears and sucks it up

A while passed by and the announcements went off

"The shooters are now caught and everyone is safe, but a couple have passed. 7 were injured and 3 were killed."

"That's terrible, let's get out of here" Aurelia's mom grabs her hand and everyone leaves

"I hate you, I could've died" Aurelia says, her mom didn't respond.

After they get in the car Aurelia doesn't talk to her mom until they get home

"Thanks I guess." Aurelia says, again her mom doesn't respond, later on her mom was sitting in her room

Aurelia walked in "Hey mom I-" Aurelia says catching her cry "Get out," her mom pushes her out and closes the door

She listened through the door and heard her mom crying she felt terrible.

—current—

I wake up, from that dream.

It was real and I still feel terrible. Why did I have to be reminded?

"Hey we're almost there," Cecilia says "I hope my mom is ok," I say "I'm sure she is, how would they find her out here anyways?" Cecilia questions "I don't know," I say "What is going on," Cecilia sees something

"Stay in the car ok? I'm gonna go check something out, I don't want anyone to see you just in case," Cecilia parks somewhere hidden, I didn't listen I got out of the car and hid somewhere near by, I can't see where I'm at.

I hear gunshots and screaming. I hope Cecilia is ok.

After a while I see her car leaving

What? Did something happen? Well I have her phone she's gonna have to get that

Her car is being chased by them...

I have to see what was going on... how?

I saw my moms car and ran up to it seeing my dogs... alive luckily... they were so excited to see me

But I didn't see my mom... I went around the car and saw her...

Dead.
