I tossed and turned in my sleep, since I was very uncomfortable. I can feel myself waking up, but I don’t want to since I am exhausted beyond belief. I have never been a morning person, so I squeezed my eyes shut tighter and tried my best to sink back into my soft mattress.

The more I tried to absorb the soft material, the more pressure I felt on my body. It felt like I was sleeping on bricks and that couldn’t be right, because last night, I had fallen asleep in my room, as I did every night for my 17 years of life.

I ran my hands along the surface that I was laying on and my eyes shot open with shock. This was no comfy mattress. This most definitely was cold bricks!

I sat up straight and rubbed my eyes. Where the hell was I and how did I get here?

I examined my surrounding and came to the conclusions that I was definitely not in my room.

I could barely see 12 inches in front of my face, since the area was poorly lighten, but from what I could make out, I was in a dark and empty enclosed space. There was nothing in sight, no furniture, doors, windows, nothing. All I saw was complete blackness, making me bring my knees to my chest in fear.

“Jared? Mom? Dad?” I called. My voice came back to me like and echo. I really was alone and I had no idea how I had turned up here.

I tried my best to retrace my steps. I remember getting a ride home from school with Jared and he kissed me goodbye. I came into the house and I did my homework all night while I texted Melissa. Then, my parents came home and I tried to ignore them so they didn’t question me (more like interrogate me) about how my day was and if I was happy. I hated that they treated me like I was five, so we argued, especially my mother and I. It wasn’t unusual that we fought. It happens almost every day.

I remember being so angry at them that I stormed to my room and skipped dinner. The thought of this made me bring my hand to my stomach. It should have been rumbling with hunger by now, since I couldn’t ever skip a meal. I loved food, but nobody ever knew that because I’m only 110lbs. It was weird that my stomach wasn’t acting up.

Anyways, I then went straight to bed, since the argument drained me from my energy and I knew that I needed it because today, Melissa was going to be dragging me to this big party at some random guy’s house. Oh joy.

So I remember going to bed in my own room… That leaves the real question of how did I got here. The thought of this made me go into panic mode. I must have been kidnapped and I was drugged, so I don’t remember being taken!

I started to rock back and forth as I clung my knees for dear life. I wonder if my parents knew, or even cared. Melissa was probably having a cow right now if she knew that I was missing and Jared probably would too, especially since his sister has already been missing for a year.

A light bulb clicked in my head. If Jared’s sister Lexi was missing because she was supposedly kidnapped, then maybe she’s here with me too!

 I stood up from my sitting position, feeling very confident with my theory. “Lexi!” I called while crossing my fingers that I would receive some sort of reply. I got nothing, making my body slump backwards in defeat.

Instead of falling back to the ground like I thought I would, I came in contact with a cold surface instead. I turned around to investigate and I saw that my back was resting on a glass wall. I stood up and ran my hand along it, as if it was something foreign to me. This glass wall must be at least10 inches thick, if not more, so there was no way that my spaghetti arms were going to do any damage if I attempted to smash it down.
