NORTH DENVER, 1978

"Say isn't it strange? Isn't it strange. I am still me, you are still you, in the same place"

The next morning, the two children were woken up with very loud yelling. They quickly sit up looking at each other, wide eyed before standing up and rushing to the door way of the kitchen

"im sorry!" Gwen yelled. She was bent over the counter well her dad was next to her, A belt in hand. My eyes go wide at the scene.

"dad! Stop!" Finney yells from beside me

"hey! You stay out of this!" Terrence yelled warning Finney. "Gwenny." Terrence looked at her " why did the police come to my work?!" He yelled smacking her, making me flinch

"I don't know! I'm sorry!" She yelled back, tears rolling down her face

" you need to tell me what you know about this investigation! "

"nothing!"

"Tell me!- what?!"

"nothing!"

"What?"

"NOTHING!" Gwen yelled getting louder every time. She grabbed a vodka bottle from the counter before backing away from her dad " hit me again and I'm dropping it!"

"drop that and I will beat your ass twice as hard!" He swings the belt causing Gwen to drop it, glass going everywhere. Terrence grabbed her throwing her to the ground

"dad stop!" Finney yells. I grab his hand

" that was 20 dollar bottle of goddamn vodka!" Terrence yells ignoring Finney and continuing to whip Gwen. "oh how u listen to me" he points a finger at her " you are NOT your mother!"

"I know!" Gwen responds using the counter to get up

" you do not gear things that are not here! You do not see things that are not there!"

"Okay!"

"there are not there Gwenny!"

"okay!!"

"and your dreams are just fucking dreams! Do u understand me?!"

"yes!"

"do u understand me!"

"yes!!"

"say it! I wanna hear you say it!"

"my dreams are just dreams"

"say it again!"

"my dreams are just dreams!"

"say it again." He says in a tone sending chills down my body

"my dreams. are just. Dreams." Gwen says in anger

"go watch some television or something" he mumbles " but no ice on that butt young lady! I want you to think about what u did!" He says pointing at her as she walks past us, me following.

You sit down in between the Blake siblings. Gwen lays her head on my shoulder, slightly shaking. I give her a quick kiss on the forehead before I feel Finney lay his head on my other one. I look over to him and notice a very noticeable mad expression on his face.

A few hours later, the kids were in the same position watching tv. A few hours earlier I had called my mom telling her I was staying the night again not wanting to leave the siblings alone. A phone rang giving you a weird gut feeling, you just shrugged it off.

" I understand. Yeah thank u" I hear Terrence say before hanging up the phone. He walks over to us calling me and Finneys name, causing the three kids to look up st him " Do you guys know a kid name Robin Ar-ar..-ar"

"Arellano?" I ask my stomach dropping. What if something actually did happen to him

"Yeah that's it"

"he's our friend from school, why?" Finney asks for me. I close my eyes and praying it isn't what I thought. It goes quite before I hear the words I thought I would never hear

"He's missing"

I look over at Finney, my mouth wide open from shock as my eyes began to fill with tears.

"are u ok?" Finney asked

"Yeah" tears threatening to spill "I have to go to the bathroom" I stand up and walk quickly to the bathroom before they can stop me. I walk in and close the door forgetting to lock it. I stare at the floor in shock. I sit against the wall and pull my knees up to my chest before I start sobbing. I hear someone walk in and close the door behind them before engulfing me in a hug.
