It was a Wednesday evening. I was sitting on the couch watching the news. There was all this stuff about a 15 year old girl gone missing while walking home last night. We went to the same school. Even though it happened in my neighborhood, it doesn't worry me. I've lived in this neighborhood my whole life.
Nothing has ever happened to my family and nothing ever will. Things are just the way they should be with just my mom, Ella(my sharpei), and I, Annamarie. By the time I finish watching the news it's about 10:30 p.m. So I decide to hop in the shower. Closing the bathroom door behind me , I undress, turn on the shower step inside and let the hot water trickle down my body. Letting all this stress and exhaustion melt away. Water calms me down it always has.
Just as I am getting out of the shower I hear something from downstairs. I figured just Ella and don't let it phase me. I dry off, apply some lotion, slip into my robe and head to my room. Now I'm standing infront of my dresser trying to find some pajamas to put on. After finding some pajamas I put them on, hop in bed, put on some headphones, blast some music, and slip away from this world. I must have just enough for an hour or so. When I wake up I see slight movement in my closet. Ella is laying next to me; so it's definitely not her. I slowly get out of bed and walk over to the closet. I I flip on the lights and take a look around. Seeing that nothing looks out of the ordinary, I turn off the lights, and go downstairs to the kitchen for a snack. I glance at the clock it's 12:27 am. "Mom should be home soon", I say quietly. I then head back up to my room after getting a snack. The light is off and the door is partially shut. When I left all the lights were on and the door was open. I try not to let it get to me too much and open the door and walk in. I set my plate on my dresser, and I stand in front of my mirror. In my closet I see a shadow standing there. " Who are you?!", I scream. Slowly they come towards me. Whoever this is has all black on including a black hoodie with a little brown hair showing out the sides. They stop just inches before me. I normally don't get scared , but right now I'm freaking out. They raise their hands and slowly remove their hood. My heart is pounding. I feel as though it may explode from the facility of my chest. When their hood is completely removed I cannot believe my eyes. Standing right before is my best friend Hailey.
