Kylie's POV

I sprinted downstairs searching for him.

I looked everywhere upstairs before that and nobody was there.

"Shawn!" I yelled.

"Shawn!" I repeated.

I was starting to freak out.

I had tears forming in my eyes and I could barely see.

"Shawn!" I screamed.

I was in the kitchen now and I was running around the counter probably looking like a maniac.

"Shawn! Where are you!?" I yelled.

Nothing.

I started freaking out a lot.

"Shawn? Where are you?" I tried to yell, but it only came out as a cracked voice.

I had tears streaming down my cheeks.

Where was he?

Uncontrollably, my body fell to the floor, and I wrapped my hands around my knees to be in the fetal position.

I tried to cry, but no tears came out.

After about two minutes, I noticed that I wasn't even sad anymore. I was angry. I wanted to find him.

I looked at my hands to see them clenched together, and pale white from me squeezing them too hard.

I sat up and screamed.

But, it wasn't like a scared scream or a sad one, it was more of a distressed, frustrated scream.

I kept growing angrier and angrier, but I did not know why.

I clenched my hands together more than humanly possible. I was about to take a knife and throw it at the wall, I was so angry.

But, then I unclenched my hands and took a deep breath.

Inhale

And exhale.

Once I calmed down, I slowly looked down at my shaking hands and I kept my eyes strained on them.

Inhale

Exhale.

My hands were shaking mildly and I started counting.

"One...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight...nine...ten..." but the list went on.

It didn't stop at ten.

It went on to eleven, twelve, and eventually thirteen.

I was shaking horribly now, my whole body trembling in fear.

I squeezed my eyes shut and pressed my legs to my chest.

"It was all just a dream...It was all just a dream," I repeat.

I shoot up in my bed without a sound.
