Y/N'S POV

         I don't think I had much rest for the past days. But it was just another day, another kid goes missing. Now, here I am, sitting with Finney and Gwen at the lunch table. Bruce wasn't here. And police officers are so fucking quick on hanging those missing posters.

How was this even possible? How does no one do shit about it? All I could do was ignore the misery our entire group is facing and just wait until it's my turn.

"I miss them," I mumbled, poking my food. Silence surrounded the table until, "...Same here," Finney replied tiredly. 

No one else talked, it was painful silence. I could only wonder, how are Gwen and Finney able to handle this? How can they handle it so well but I can't. They're tougher than I am.

My mind wondered off once more.

My last conversation with each of them played in my head like my favorite song on loop. Griffin's smile when he told me how excited he was to start watching a show on his list.

Billy dropping me home and embracing me into a warm hug. Vance's sweet words, telling me he cares. Robin's warm smile, so unforgettable. Even Bruce's game, I wish I was there earlier. I wish I could spend more time with them. 

Maybe if we all sticked together then we'd all be here right now. Maybe it was my fault for even getting them in the situation. It's driving me insane. The school bell rung but it seemed much more louder.

I pressed my hands against my ears, in an attempt to silence the noise. But to no avail it didn't work. The loudness didn't tone down. I felt like bursting into tears. I don't understand why I felt so sensitive at this moment. "Y/n," someone's voice chimed.

I looked up to see Gwen, her concerned face made my vision blur. My face felt wet with tears. I'm crying. Why was I even crying. 

My head started pounding in pain from the amount of tears I started shedding, I hurled up when I felt someone try and hug onto me and possibly carry me up. My heart rate quickened. I tried to calm down with deep breaths.

Next thing I know, I've woken up in the nurses office. I blinked like a frog before my vision restored. "Y/n, are you alright?" The nurse spoke softly, seemingly trying to comfort me.

I didn't feel like responding. "You were knocked out for quite a while, I tried calling your mom but..." The nurse trailed off, I already knew that my mom wouldn't willingly see if I was okay.

She left the room which left me drowning into my own emotions.

All I did now was just stare off into the wall. My mind disfigured back into those small memories. Then my gaze softened once it caught onto the window.
