Sam haden't showed up to school all week. I hadent stopped calling or texting him but he haden't replied back to me since monday night.

On Friday as I walked out from school, I had decided that I would go back to his house to see if he had returned home at all during the week.

I hopped into my car and sped off towards his house for the second time this week. As I pulled into the driveway I saw that Sam's car and his parents cars where parked in the open garage. Thats means that Sam's home! I walked up to the door and knocked. I heard footsteps walk down the hall towards the door. The door opened and Sam's Mum appeared.

"Hi Jenny, I was wondering if I could please talk to Sam?" I asked politely.

"Sam can't have any visitors right now. Sorry Sophie" She said regretfully.

"What do you mean he cant have any visitors?".

"He's quiet ill at the moment and its contagious". Thats weird I thought.

"Well can I at least talk to him through his door then?".

"NO!" She shouted "Um, I mean that maybe you should just go home Sop-" She was interupted by a loud scream.

THATS SAM! I tried to shove past her into the house but she wouldnt move.

"I do think you should go home Sophie. Now." She said sternly while trying to hold me back from going inside the house.

"Sams in pain, Jenny. Hes my best friend, I cant just leave him!" I screamed at her.

"Look Sophie, go home and Iwill get Sam to give you a call when he is feeling better, okay?".

"Alright, but if I don't hear from him soon then I'll be over again and again until I do see him" I said and reluctantly got into my car and drove home but not before I had one last look at Sams upstairs bedroom window. I swear I saw a pair of eyes watching me but as quick as a flash they were gone.

"Hey Jake! I'm home!" I shouted when I walked in the front door of our house.

"Hey Soph, Mums gone again on a business trip so its just us two for about three weeks I think it is this time".

"I cant believe shes already gone again. How did she tell you this time?"

"She left a note on the bed" He replied.

"I really do think something is wrong with Mum, Jake. Shes been even quiter lately and i havent seen her eat once. Shes gotten so much thinner and I'm really worried" I replied anxiously.

"Don't worry about Mum, Soph. Shes a grown women and can take care of herself but if things get really bad we can interveen, okay?".

"Okay" i replied and with that Jake walked up the stairs.

"By the way Soph, theres left over pasta in the fridge!" He yelled from somewhere upstairs.

"Okay!" I shouted back opening the fridge and pulling out the bowl of pasta, placing it into the microwave and setting the timer. I poured myself a glass of milk while I waited for my pasta to warm up and when it had, I pulled it out and walked up stairs to my bedroom.

Upstairs while I was eating my pasta I decided to check my phone for any messages or missed calls. There were none. Either Sam still wasent feeling better, Jenny forgot to tell Sam to text or call me or Sam didnt want to talk to me. I hope it was the second option. I checked my social media before taking my dirty dishes down to the kitchen, deciding that I would do the dishes tommorow.

I heard a distant ringing and realising it was my phone, sprinted upstairs to answer it.

"Hello" I said breathlessly into the phone.

"Hey" Said a deep, husky voice.

"SAM! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU! I HAVE CALLED AND TEXTED YOU SO MANY TIMES! DID YOU EVEN READ THEM?! IVE BEEN WORRIED SICK ALL WEEK!!" I shouted furiously.

"Im sorry Soph" He said weakly.

"Best friends dont do this to each other Sam. Even when I was sick I called you morning and night because I knew that you would want to know if i was okay or not. You didnt do any of that. I didnt recieve anything and I've been worried all week Sam. All week".

"I'm sorry I-".

"No Sam Im done".

"Soph, Pleas-".

"Goodbye Sam" I said in a final tone and hung up.

Then I started to sob, gut-renching sobs that shook my whole body. I layed down underneath the covers after I had stopped crying.

Just as J was about to fall asleep i heard a loud howl from deep in the woods. For some reason that howl made my heart clench. It made me want to climb out of bed and run into the woods to find where the howl came from. I ignored the instinct and instead just rolled over and fell into a deep sleep.
