The missing.

Chapter 13

I sat in the office, in a jail. I never thought I would be here before, I mean in a jail, explaining a murder from awhile ago, a murder that happened in front of me and a dead man in a cafe shop, then explain how the killer is the hottest boy in my class. Then I would have to explain the ghost in my house, the big box and the note. Even the wedding ring.

Oh god, I was freaking out again, I hated this, I got sweaty and rocked back in forth in my chair picturing everything that happened. It was common tho, who wouldn't freak out after what I've been through.

It was early Monday morning and I could hear the police and other people out there question eacthother. Then interrupting my thoughts, was a women yelling. I wasn't sure who it was until she stormed into the room, my mom.

" god Kate, your such a disgrace, making up stories and getting your ass in jail, what is wrong with my daughter."

I froze in my seat, I looked up at her, tears welled up in my eyes. My face turned hot, as my hands turned into fists, ready to burst.

" mom, you have no right to say that, your the one drunk my whole life, how could you treat me like that"

She slammed her fists on the table, no trouble to tell she was drunk right there and then in the police station. She went to grab ahold of me as I pushed myself back in my chair. The police grabbed her, and she was thrown out.

I burst then, tears exploded out of my eyes. I let out big sobs afraid to go back home that night, if they would let me now, they just saw what was almost physical abuse. My own mother, coming after me like that. Maybe I would be put into a foster home after this.

Papers slammed on the desk, innturupted again I looked up at the police man. He sat down on the chair and offered me a gum. I quickly denied it and slouched in my chair more. He opened the folders to the missing case of my old teacher. He looked at me, opened his mouth and I knew what was coming.

"Explain"

I sat back in my chair and let out a big sigh, well here goes nothing. I began.

"It all started I guess, when me and my mom moved from the town, up to the mountains, as you can see she is a drunk so she never payed much attention to me. Then I started having nightmares about a ghost and I found things in the mansion, Harold the guy that killed her and other people helped me, like figure out more, I thought he was on my side, until we went to his uncles, they tied me up and carried me to this shed, sat me down and told me how he killed her, finally when he left his uncle came and carried me out. Being shot at his uncle kept running, finally the last bullet knocked him down, I never stopped i kept going, the next morning I realized I was shot too, just not bad. I walked the highway and found a cafe where I thought I was safe, but Harold was there, and he went crazy looking for me causing another person to die. Then you guys found me, that's about it"

I sat back in my chair, and I knew I lied about the ghost part but they wouldn't believe that part. The officer nodded his head, wrote down some things on paper and then left the room.

I sat in the chair and starred at the ceiling for like an hour until an officer came in, he told me to go with him, I didn't hesitate just got up and walked with him. We walked to the back of the jail and he put me in the cell and told me he wouldn't send me home to my mother, he promised the doors weren't locked to the cell and there was someone on duty just up the hallway so if I needed anything I could ask. I just nodded and lid down on the cushions.

God these last couple weeks have been nothing but horrible, I wonder what school what would say about this, what would people call me now? A hero, a freak, what? Guess I'd find out soon, when I went back.

You know I was done hiding and being so shy, school is no longer the scariest thing in my life. What just happened was, and you know after it all, I'm no longer afraid to be myself. I still may have alot of things going on, but people can't always judge me. I thought alot about what went through my head, but never really paid much attention to alot of it because none of it really made any sense. I dozed off after, my last thought was the ghost at home.

Authors note; what would the ghost have for her? Kate's mom doing that, oh god, would she even be put back home? Keep reading:) VOTE VOTE VOTE PLEASE:) sorry I took awhile to write, I promise I'll try to upload faster for the next chapter:) but thanks so far! Keep commenting too:)
