FLASHBACK: 4 MONTHS AGO
"We understand. Thank you officers for y'all hard work and dedication you guys have done and had for these 4 years. My husband, along with our kids, truly appreciate it." My mother said before closing the front door.
"Mom?" I said while wiping away tears. "Yes baby?" "She's dead isn't she? That's why the police are giving up! They think she's dead and that there's no reason to continue to search for her!"
"Sweetheart calm down." My mom choked out holding back tears. "Calm down!? I can't calm down my little sister could still be alive for all we know and the police are giving up on her!" I yelled uncontrollably.
"Ciara! Listen to me.....we are going to find Jamiee do you understand? Whether we have the cop's help or not we're going to find her." And with that, my mom embraced me into a hug and we fell to floor crying onto each others shoulders.
END OF FLASHBACK
I've been stuck in this hell whole for over 3 months now and I'm just about tired of it. Nurses coming in giving me medicine and checking to see if I'm ok every 5 minutes irks my nerves!
Everyone, including my family-well my parents-thinks I'm a fucking nut case! Nobody believes me when I tell them that Jamiee's still alive. They all think I have a problem with "letting go".
"Ciara, Dr. Perez is here for your monthly visit." One of the nurses walks into my room and say to me. As usual, I don't tell her anything and walk straight into the visiting area and sit in my seat across from Dr. Perez.
"Hello Ciara, how are you today?" Dr. Perez said to me as I sat down. "Im straight." I replied with annoyance in my voice. "Well lets get down to business shall we? Have you had any dreams lately?" He asked pulling out his pen and paper.
Gosh I hated talking to him! All he's going do is write down everything I say and tell my parents-like they're going to do anything about it.
"Yeah. And? You don't care about them anyway. You ask me the same shit every time you come and every time I tell you the same thing. How about you just give up; just like the cops and my parents gave up on Jamiee!" I felt adrenaline rush up my spine and I knew that if one wrong word came out of anyone's mouth I'd crack.
"Ciara...please calm down. I do care. And so does your parents we're trying to get you help."
'Get me help....?' Yep, he just said the wrong thing...."Y'all ain't trying to help me! Y'all think I'm fucking crazy! That's why I'm in here! Help me my ass....fuck all y'all. I know the truth about Jamiee and I don't give two fucks if you, my mom, my dad, or even my little brother believes me. Jamiee is alive and I kno it. Too bad y'all can't feel it too."
I can't deal with this bullshit no more. It's time to show everybody that I'm not crazy and that Jamiee is still out there somewhere. And I won't stop at nothing until I prove that I'm right. Even if I have to continue to live in this annoying ass place for a few more months.
