Missing

chapter four

The next morning I wake up to the sound of most likely my mom vacuuming. I check the clock and it reads 8:30 am. I groan loudly before rolling over and putting my pillow over my head trying to drown out the noise. Who the fuck vacuums at 8:30 am? Oh right my mom does. I give up on sleep and sit up on my bed pulling my laptop up from the ground.

Mostly all morning I research all about the case. I find out that Niall said they didn't report about it at first because they had alcohol with them and weren't even supposed to be at the cabin. But it says no where who else was there. Who were they? Harry and James? I go back to just asking someone the next day at school about it.

I close my laptop and lean back against my headboard. My stomach starts to growl so I decide to go get some breakfast. I go downstairs to find my mother and father at the kitchen table eating breakfast. I walk over to the pantry to grab a box of cereal when my mom speaks up.

     "I made eggs, bacon and pancakes why don't you have some honey." My mother requests in her usual chirpy voice.

     "I'm good." I say pouring the cereal into a bowl and sitting at the table before she can protest.

     "So," She starts, tapping her fingers on the table. I ignore her. Can't she just let me enjoy my damn Lucky Charms in peace? "did you hear about the boy who went missing?" My ears perk up actually listening to her now. She notices my interest and continues.

     "Well I heard from the girls in my book club about how the boy, James wasn't even really friends with those troublemakers, that they just invited him up there for a couple of days.."

     "Well I guess he got excited because they are seniors and so he went." I think about it for a minute and all I can think about is that if they weren't friends with James why did they randomally invite him up there with them? I never did see him hanging out with them.

     "Who was there? At the cabin?" I ask wanting to know the question I've been looking for.

     "I don't know, I think one of their names was Neal." She remarks making me fight the urge to burst out laughing.

     "Niall." I correct her.

     "Oh yes that's right and another one named Harry." I feel slightly disappointed that she gave me information I already had but she did give me enough to keep me happy. I guess I was pretty glad that my mom and her friends were big mouths and talked about this, swapping information. I nod at her putting another spoonful of Lucky Charms in my mouth.

The rest of the day I spent on my project realizing I barely got any of it done the day before. It was worth 150 points so I was checking it and rechecking after figuring out how much the project was worth.

It's about 9 o' clock when I decide to take a hot shower. I get in and stay in for an hour mostly just thinking about everything. When I get out my fingers are all pruney from staying in for so long. I force myself at midnight to get off Tumblr and get under my covers. I instantly fall asleep knowing in the morning I'll regret staying up so late.
