"4 months before"

I wake up to screaming it was Naomi she was having another night terror ever since Sophie disappeared everybody couldn't sleep and when we did it wasn't much. We either were woken from our own nightmare or someone elses. Nobody could ever fall asleep due to the fact we were always thinking about Sophie scared that it might just happen to us. Sophie had been missing for 2 weeks now and there hadn't been any sign of her for two weeks.

We were all at Shawn's house it had been two weeks since Sophie disappeared and we were all trying to figure out what we could do. The police didn't help much so we were the ones that thought we had to do something about it, we knew Sophie and she would never just run away without telling us or leaving a note or anything. There was a knock at Shawn's door and his mother answered we all peered through the living room hoping it was Sophie or any good information about her.

Shawn's mom opened the door greeting 2 officers they looked a bit concerned so we decided to come out of the living room. "We have some bad news," the officer said pausing for a second and biting his lip "I'm sorry to tell you this but we got a call last night about a body down by the lake." We all glanced at each other nervously hoping it wasn't Sophie. "We went to see the body and it was indeed your friend Sophie Martinez I'm very sorry for your loss." The officer said Lucas collapsed to the floor hitting his hands on the hard wood floor. Tears escaping our eyes having to face reality Lucas's screaming pulling us away from our thoughts "no it can't be her it can't be her! You have to be wrong it can't be my Sophie." he said pulling at his hair. He pushed past the officers running to his car and driving away.

We all sat in silence. I sat on Shawn's living room floor comforting Mia sitting in silence listening to her soft sobs and sniffles here and there. Telling her I have to leave, I get up and tell everybody goodbye giving hugs as I walk out Shawn's from door and walking to my car. Turning the keys in the ignition and that's when it hits me and I realized that everything wasn't gonna be okay anymore. That everything was slowly collapsing around me and my friends and that nothing would be the same. Driving away, I don't realize tears are streaming down my face till they start hitting my lap the warm tear soaking into my jeans. Getting home I walk through the front door greeting my mom and walking up the stairs throwing my backpack into the corner of my room out of frustration and flopping onto my bed. Hearing my mom's footsteps coming up the stairs to 'talk about it'. I hear the creaking of my bedroom door and feel the bed dip down next to me.

"Honey is there any news about Sophie yet?" My mother asked calmly putting her hand on my back rubbing soothing circles onto my back. "Yes." I respond trying to swallow the lump in my throat. "Anything good?" she said it with a sound of hope. "No." And that's what broke me that's what made me see that Sophie was gone and she was never coming back. Sophie had been my best friend since the 6th grade (sophomores now) she was had brown mid-shoulder length of hair, glasses framing her face, and little brown eyes hiding behind them,she was very petite and was beyond gorgeous yet she never realized it. She was always there for me when I needed her and that's why I loved her she was one of my best friends and now she's gone."Mom she's dead she gone forever I'll never see her again." I screamed anger had striked me and I didn't know why I grabbed my keys,phone, and camera walking out to my jeep and driving off to god knows where. I just wanted to be alone so I drove to my favorite place a little outside Rose City.
