"Julie hasn't called me yet" I thought. It was rather strange, since she promised to call me after she got home, and always kept her promise. I was starting to worry that something might have happened to her. "She was pretty drunk" I muttered out loud. But still, not drunk enough to forget to call or get lost. After about a couple minutes more of waiting for a call from Julie, I decided it was late and that I could just call her tomorrow. I never could have imagined what i had done by not looking for her that night.
In the morning i awoke to the seemingly brighter than usual rays of the sun, shining through my blinds. Thats when i noticed the most excruciating pain in my head. I could have screamed out loud, but i thought it best not to, since loud noise would just make it worse. Maybe we did have a little too much to drink last night. My mind tried piecing together the scattered memories that were last night, but failed horribly, as i couldn't remember anything. Then suddenly, it hit me like a truck, Julie! She didn't call last night, wich wouldn't have been a big deal with every other person i know, but Julie was different. i decided to call, still hopeful that she made it home safe. The call went to voicemail and i decided to call a couple more times, before giving up. I was starting to panic that something might have happened, but not enough to do anything yet. I just thought that she was still sleeping, hung over like me. Pushing the worst ideas aside, i simply decided to call again later, and got up to make some coffee, lord knows i needs it.
The day went by, yet still no word from Julie. I called a couple more times throughout the day, but no answer. Thats when i knew it was time to go over to her place to check if she was ok. I drove the merely 10 minutes it took to get from mine to her house, and knocked on the door. Nothing. I knocked again. Still nothing. Now i was worried, Julie wasn't at home, and that meant something must have happened to her. I knew she couldn't have gone anywhere else, she didn't know anyone else. My mind shut off and panic set in, alarms going off on my mind. And thats how, on the day of Julie Kanes disappearance i sat, crying on her doorstep.
