BRENT RIVERA AND ME

Chapter 9

***MIA'S POV***

I had a good time at Brent's house yesterday. It was good that i opened up to him. It think it proved that I trust and really do see him as a best friend. Although I did open up, there are some things i have not told anybody-not even Katie.

I decided to call Katie to tell her about my day yesterday, but she didn't pick up. That was a bit unusual, since she was always on her phone. I texted her.

M: Hey Katie!

I began working on my homework. I constantly checked my phone, after an hour, I began to feel concerned. I called her again. No answer. I left a message.

"Katie! Where are you? Pick up!" I said into my phone.

After four more hours, I decided to drive to her house.

"Mom! I'm going to Katie's!"

"Okay! Have fun sweetie! Be back by 10!" She said back.

"Alright, see ya!"

I drove to her house. I noticed that there were no cars in her driveway. I became more anxious and concerned, as I walked to the door. I rang the doorbell. No one responded. Did she go on vacation or something? I didn't know what to do. The back door was unlocked, and I went in.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" I said, expecting but not expecting an answer.

No answer.

I noticed there was blood on the floor of her room. There wasn't just a little. It was enough for someone to die from the loss of it. I panicked.

"No. She's not dead. This is a prank." I said to myself.

I immediately dialed 911.

O(perator): Hello, this is 911. What is your emergency?

M: Hi my name is Mia Wilson and I'm at my friend's house. No one is here, and there is a lot blood on her floor!

O: What is her name?

M: Katie Hanes.

O: It seems like her parents called 911 a few hours ago.

My heart dropped. My hope for her living shattered, while my fear shot up.

M: Is she ok?

I began to cry.

O: I'm sorry ma'am, but I don't know. You can try going to the hospital to see if she's there.

M: Alright. Thanks for your help.

I hung up. I was not able to drive. I was too caught up in emotions. I called Brent.
***BRENT'S POV***
Mia called me. I smiled and picked up.

B: Hey! What's up?

M: Brent, pick me up at Katie's house.

I could hear her crying.

B: Mia...are you okay? And text her address, I'll be there soon.

My heart breaks when hers is.

M: I'll explain later. I'll text you, thanks.

Before I hung up, she said something that caught my attention.

M: I love you, Brent.
