                     My mother was missing. I don't know wither to be worried or to not care. I mean she never gave me that reason why she left my father and I. Even if she did give me a reason, it probably would be a stupid one. I just don't get how she could disappear either. I'm starting to get these thoughts that just didn't make so much sense. I started getting this weird feeling in my stomach as well. I just couldn't explain what was going on. 

                    I needed to get out of this house. It was almost three in the afternoon. I haven't heard from Liam, ever since we saw each other in the park. I couldn't go over his house because, I didn't even know where he lived. I think I am going to surprise him at work! I decided to do so. I couldn't wait to surprise him out of nowhere. I get in the car and drive to the police department.

                   I enter and see a bunch of police officer's busy, as usual.  I go to the front and ask if Liam was here. The nice lady at the front desk said, "I'm so sorry but Liam left about an hour ago. Do you want me let him know you stopped by?" 

"No, that's fine. But thanks though." I said, smiling.

"Alright, Have a nice day!" she said, smiling back at me. 

                    I get in the car, getting those thoughts again. 'Liam already left?' It was a Thursday, he doesn't get off that early. Things didn't make much sense. I didn't want to be such a stalker and go to crazy. Crazy like call him, with so much questions. No, that wasn't me. I wasn't going to be that kind of girlfriend, being protective. I guess I could just call him and, have a lovely conversation on there. 

                 Once I get home, I get my phone and start calling Liam. He picked up the phone with that beautiful voice. 'Hello beautiful' 

"Hey, I was at the police department to go see you at work but you weren't there." I said.

"I left early because I had to take care of some unfinished business." Liam said, sounding serious.

"Oh okay, I hope I'm not disrupting anything." I said.

"Nope, you aren't at all. I'm glad you called though, to check up on me." He said.

"Yep, I was just a bit curious. you know." I said.

"Yeah, so how was your day?" Asked Liam.

"It was fine, you?" I asked.

"It was busy, trying to take care of somethings." He said.

"I bet so, I have another question." I said, trying to stay calm.

"What's your question?" asked Liam.

"How come you have never invited me to your place?" I asked.

He was quiet for one second and I started getting nervous. I knew I shouldn't have asked. Ugh Lonnie.

"My place is a bit messy, so I barely have guests over. Maybe later you can come over. I don't want you to come to my place, all messy with my work." He said, sounding serious again.

I felt a bit weird but I don't know. I couldn't explain my feelings. I had to hang up.

"Oh alright, well I better be going. I need to get some cleaning done. I'll talk to you later." I said, trying not to sound so weird.

"Alright, bye Lonnie. I love you." Liam said.

I quickly hung up. Something weird was going on. He didn't even bring up my own mother, who went missing. He never even told me about Bryson Allan. The guy who escaped from prison. None of it made any sense. I needed answers but I didn't know what to do. Most importantly, I didn't know who to trust or what to trust. Liam was just being a bit weird today. I don't know why I keep getting weird feelings about it, whenever I think about it. Think about his weird behavior today and, how he didn't bring up anything about my mother or Bryson. After all, he is a police officer. I needed a plan. 

 My plan was to follow him after work. Which means follow him to his house, to see where he lives. Basically, to spy on him and maybe try to break in. Maybe not break in but, to see what was up. I had to keep in mind that he is a police officer. I parked my car across the street from his work. I had to try not to make it obvious that I was spying on him. I saw him. He was getting in his car and driving out. This was go time!

I continue to follow him, while he is driving. I still tried not to make it so obvious. We finally get there to his house. It wasn't so bad. It was just a nice house, in a quiet neighborhood. I now know where he lives. I had to come again to check it out. But another day. I didn't want Liam to think I was some kind of stalker. I got those weird feelings again. I drove away as quick as I could. I felt really weird. I felt like I was being watched. I just couldn't take it anymore.

I was finally home. Home sweet home. I still feel a bit weird because, I basically still feel like I'm being watched. But who would watch me? I doubt Liam would. I can't believe I am worried about who is watching me. Maybe my gut feelings are being weird on me again. They could be wrong anyway so. Anyway, I should be worried about my mother and such. I decide to run a hot bath, to relax. I shouldn't be stressing out, I had a baby inside of me. I was still pregnant. I had to keep that in mind.

When my hot bath was ready, I was ready. Before, I could go in I went to go get my phone. I get my phone from downstairs and start heading upstairs. When I'm upstairs, I get a text. A text and a picture from a blocked number. The picture was my mother tied up, crying. 'I am watching you.. and so is your mother'  ...
