LOST EVERYTHING

Chapter 2

When something so bad happens in your life it feels like it is not real. Like it is probably a nightmare. It is just too bad to be true. There is no way it is true. It feels so surreal. It feels like it is a nightmare, like how if you saw a monster running around, you would think you are hallucinating or having a nightmare, because it is just too bad to be true.

Right now I am in my bed twisting and turning, looking for sleep to come and take me away from the nightmare I am living right now. Ha-ha, so funny that I want sleep to take me away from a nightmare... the irony. Wait, no, why am I laughing I am sad...

All I can think about is how scared she is, or the fact that they could be hurting her this very second while I am here lying in bed trying to sleep. The trauma she is facing right now, the thought that I might never see her again. Is it possible? She was just about to enter college and start her own life, couldn't they have at least waited to kidnap her when she was not under my care?

Now I can't help, but blame myself about the fact that she was kidnapped. I should not have listened to her when she told me that she was able to handle taking herself to school and coming back. I should have suggested to continue taking her, but nooo I just was too focused in my work...

This cannot be true; no way it is real. She can't be kidnapped. This is all just a big nightmare, and when I wake up in the morning everything will be ok. I will find myself trying to pull the blanket off her so that she wakes up and gets ready for school.

Yeah... everything is ok... nothing happened... it is just a nightmare.

I woke up to the sight of the warm, bright sun, shining through my bedroom window. I got out of my bed and stretched a few seconds before my vision went black for a second and I saw stars, I kind of lost my balance but regained it while my vision came back to normal.

I have to remember not to move so much when I have just woken up.

I went to the bathroom and started to brush my teeth as I tried to think of something to think about.

Hmm what to think about... come on brain, give me something...

Food? No, something else... probably something I hate... yeah that's it.

Now... what do I hate... why is this so hard? I hate a lot of things. Ugh forget it, let me just let my mind it be blank since it doesn't want to be filled with thoughts today. I will just get ready for the day and go wake up Kelly.

KELLY

Oh my goodness I remember, which probably means it was not a dream. It can't be real... no way it is real.

I ran to her room with my toothbrush still in my mouth and she was not there, her bed perfectly laid meaning she didn't sleep in it. I checked my phone and saw the message from the unknown number.

You are going to get your parents to sign a contract.

Oh my- it was real... it is all real, this is sadly not a nightmare... it is just my actual life...

I didn't even have the chance to enter shock because I got a call with someone I work with... Mr. Vance. He is the person who sells me the materials needed for the watches.
