ERICA AND BOYD HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR TWO WEEKS NOW, AND PEOPLE ARE LOOSING HOPE OF EVER FINDING THEM FAST.
It seems like everyone, but Nat, has given up their attempts to find the two missing teens.
The search parties that were- at one point- full of volunteers and police squads, have soon dissipated, after just a mere two week of looking; tired and dejected from their lack of leads.
It's pathetic!
And, if looks could kill, each and every one of them would be six-feet under from Nat's glares alone.
How easily they will give up when two- as far as they know- defenceless kids are in need!
It's fucking insane how quickly they stopped looking, eager to let the two teens become a distant memory!
The police keep insisting that they probably just ran off together. They keep spinning the star-crossed-lovers story- one that even Erica's own parents support, despite knowing Erica's feeling towards girls and (lack-of-romantic) feelings about boys.
It makes Nat want to throw up.
Erica's parents are standing in front of cameras, fake tears streaming down their cheeks, as they spew sob-stories about how Erica is 'their beautiful, little angle', and how, 'if she's listening: they miss her, and want her to come home'.
It's insane!
When the blonde girl is there, they never even notice her; they ignore her- shun her, even! But now that she's gone (and the local newspapers and reporters have taken an interest in it) suddenly, they're parents of the year!
Nat rolls her eyes, supressing a noise of annoyance at the thought of Erica's parents. There's no point in getting angry over people like them- something Erica had told her multiple times, on the rare occasion that they'd actually talk about her parents.
The more she thinks about Erica (which is always), the more she feels like she can't breathe; a heavy, unexplainable weight pressing down against her lungs, so harshly, that it feels like every breath is torture.
Because that's what it feels like for Nat without Erica: torture.
In a few mere-hours, Nat's whole entire world had crumbled at her feet. She had searched for hours through the rain for Erica and Boyd- but nothing.
She lost Erica.
Nat promised to protect her, and yet- like many things before-, she failed.
