Chapter 7

It was finally the day that I was getting out. I was relieved actually. I missed the taste of pizza and fries and McDonalds and KFC and Subway and every other junk food there is.

I hear the door open and I look up smiling. I was clearly happy and in a good mood.

'Before you go, there's a police officer here to see you,' he smiles politely and walks out of the room.

A second later, the cop walks in. I look at him confused.

'How are you feeling now, Miss Grayson?' he asked.

'I'm starting to get better, thank you,' I smile.

The police officer nods.

'So...why are you here?' I say, trying to not sound rude.

'This is about your mother' he starts.

I nod eagerly for the cop to carry on.

'She has gone missing'

Wait what? Missing? What does he mean by missing? Not what I think it means, right?

I gasp as I start to comprehend it, 'Missing?! B-but she was in the house the whole time!'

'Miss, calm down and breath,' the police says and I nod, 'I would like to ask a few questions if that's okay with you?'

I nod again, lost for words.

The police officer sits in the chair next to the hospital bed. 

'Did you notice anything suspicious or different?' he asked as he opens his pad and clicks his pen.

I thought to myself about the times when Mum came home late either drunk or on drugs. Ever since Dad left, she was corrupt. It was like he changed her just by leaving. It didn't even feel like she was my actual mother as we weren't as close as we used to be.

'I don't know, we're not close as we used to be,' I start to say, 'but she has been coming home late drunk or having a few moody moments'

The police started to write down on his pad as I spoke. 

'Do you remember if there was anyone else in the house?' he asked.

'A man who I believed was her boyfriend,' I said quietly. 

'Do you have anyone to stay with at the moment?' he asked again.

I shake my head at him.

'Well lucky for you, your mother's friend has offered to take you in until the situation is over' he smiles and starts to get up, 'she will be here soon to pick you up'

I nod as he walks out of the room. I heard more footsteps and look at the door.

Lauren was stood there worried.

'I heard what happened, I'm so sorry,' she says and hugs me, careful not to hurt me.

I felt a tear fall down my face.

'Don't worry,babe, she will be back,' Lauren reassures me and squeezes me tight before standing up straight.

I nod and shut my eyes for a while before opening them again.

'So what's happening now?' Lauren says as she sits down on the chair next to the bed.

I cleared my throat before speaking.

'Well the cop said I will be staying with my mum's friend until the situation is resolved'

'Do you know who?' she looks at me and takes my hand.

I shake my head, 'Not really no, I wasn't in my right mind to even ask'

'I'm here for you and you can crash at mine anytime,' she smiles, 'we need a girl night soon'

I smile back, 'yeah we do'
