i drove off to annie's house.

she probably took the bus, because i didn't see her on my way out.

even after looking for her.

i let out a great big sigh.

that damn sheryl girl.

i'm wondering myself why i didn't speak up for annie.

i feel as if i would be said anything, something bad would happen.

annie would get sad again.

and i would never want something like that to happen.

but god damnit hayden, you should've opened your damn mouth and said something!

i pulled up to annie's house and the door was locked.

i raked my hands through my hair in frustration.

i then remembered i had a key from this morning in my car.

i quickly ran to my car, unlocking the door mid run.

i snatched the key from my dashboard and slammed my door behind me, locking it once again.

i clambered up the steps and unlocked the door.

"annie! please listen to me. i'm so sorry! i didn't want to say anything bad. you've got to understa-"

i ran up the stairs and paused as i opened her bedroom door.

it was dead empty.

i quickly checked her closet, along with her bathroom.

"what the hell?"

i sped out of her room and looked in the hall bathroom, the three other bedrooms on that floor, the two hall closets, before running down stairs.

my breathing started to pick up out of panic.

i double checked the door hall and living room.

nothing.

i ran into the dining room, kitchen, other closet, downstairs bathroom, and clothes room.

nothing once again.

i checked every single room, corner, small space, anywhere she could be hiding, only to find no annie.

"annie?!"

i called out, only to get an echo in response.

i looked at my surroundings.

everything seemed to be spinning, which was quite odd.

"annie...annie..."

i continued searching everywhere where i had before over and over, muttering the love of my life's name over and over.

"annie!? annie, if you're here, this isn't funny!"

"annie?!......annie!?"

my breathing was so fast as if i had just ran 400 miles without a stop.

i stopped in the middle of the hallway, due to the spinning and dizziness getting unbearable.

i slid down the wall and onto the floor.

i felt tears stream down my cheeks as a continuous waterfall.

yet some part of me didn't register.

my hands began to shake wildly.

i tried to curl up into a ball but it was hard to do an action as simple as that.

"a- annie-"

everything was uncontrollable.

my breathing hitched as i went into full panic.

"it's all my fault. a- annie. annie."

i fully shut down after a few minutes.

it felt torturous.

i was scared.

i was panicked.

i was worried.

and most importantly i was regretful.

i was regretful of the last few hours.

because losing annie- literally- was all my fault.
