Problems

Ch. 14

Allison's POV

I was lying on my bed, while having my head on the headboard. I looked at my arm, after the whole fire incident. Thy took me to the hospital so they could wrap my arm from the burn. I wanted to take it off, it felt horrible.

Now I would have a mark that reminded me of that day.

My mom peered her head on the side of my door.

"Hey, I thought you might need some food."

"I'm not hungry."

"C'mon, you have to eat something. I'll just leave this right here."

She placed the tray on my dresser and left. My phone rang and I liked at the caller ID, it was Tracy.

"Hey."

"Hi." She said. "how ya doing?"

"Fine, hate the bandage, but fine."

"Hey, have you seen Dylan? I didn't see him at all at school today."

"Nope. Where are you?"

"I'm at his house."

"I'll be right there."

I got off my bed and gathered my bag. I crept down the stairs silently, but I accidentally stepped on one of Johnny's toys and it had to make noise!

Johnny!

I looked down to see if anybody heard and thank god the nobody did. I finished walking down and was almost out the door when I heard someone.

"Going somewhere?"

I looked behind me and saw my mom crossing her arms with a raised eyebrow.

"Just going to see some friends... Bye!"

I ran out looking behind me, my mom was t the front porch screaming my name at the top of her lungs. I ran for about who knows how many blocks, but I stopped by at a fence to relax.

I looked up and saw Tracy pacing back and forth, Dylan's house.

"Tracy!" She looked at me and ran into my arms. She was crying desperately, what happened to her.

"What happened?" I asked her in worry.

"I knocked on his door, h-his mom c-came out a-and said that h-he w-wasn't home. H-He did-didn't even c-come!" She said through sobs. Dylan come yesterday to his house.

"He's been gone f-for 3 d-days!" What?!

"It's like t-the ground just ate him up, he j-just disappeared!"

"Did they already do a search party for him?"

"Yes! But t-they still h-haven't found h-him yet!"

I didn't know what to do, if try already did a search part for Dylan, and they still haven't found him, ugh! I told Tracy that we should go to my house so she could calm down.

We walked until my house came into view and I was ready for the yells and shouts tat my mom would give me.

"Allison Cortez!!"

"I know mom, I'm in trouble and grounded for who knows how many weeks, but my friend needs me right now so if you'll excuse me...."

"Allison!"

"Mom!" I said back. I looked at her in sincerity and she nodded her head to go. Tracy was still crying, an I didn't know if I could make her stop.

When somebody cries, it could be easy to make them stop. But when Tracy cried, it's the hardest thing to make her to stop.

"Don't worry Tracy, the police is gonna find him."

"What if they don't! What if he's in trouble! What if...."

"Tracy! Stop saying that! Their going to find him soon, okay."

I rubbed her back so I could calm her down. By now, my shirt was filled with tear stains and some make-up from Tracy. There goes my my shirt that was white, focus Allison!

I kept rubbing her back until she calmed down and was able to breath steadily.

"I have to go, my mom texted saying that dinner is almost ready."

"Okay, it's gonna be alright okay."

"Okay." She was out my door when my mom came in. She was holding a package.

"This came in for you."

She handed me the package, it didn't say who it came from, weird.

"Ways wrong with Tracy?" She asked worried.

"She's upset because Dylan didn't come to his for 3 days, I'm worried about him."

"The police is gonna find him soon."

She closed my door and I was left alone with a package that I don't know who it came from. I looked for a label to double check and nothing was there. It only said that it was for me. I went to my dresser to put on a pair of sweats.

I sat on my bed and started to take off the tape. I opened it and screamed.

"Ahhhhhh!" I could barely breath, my mom and dad came in running and when they saw what was in the box, my mom screamed while my dad looked freaked out.

"Who sent that?!" My mom screamed out.

"I don't know! It didn't have a label or anything on it! Ir just said that it was for me!"

My dad turned over the box which was on the floor now and under it revealed a scorpion walking across my carpet.

"Dad!" My dad put the box on top of it and got a clipboard that I had and slid it under the box. He got the box and quickly went outside to get rid of the scorpion.

I looked down and saw a note. I picked it up and read it.

You, your family, and friends are in danger.

I dropped the note an my mom picked it up to read it. Her eyes went wide open in shock.

"Who sent this to you?"

"I don't know, but someone is out to get me."

Who do you think is out to get Allison?😱😰

Question: Where is Dylan?

Bonus question: Who sent Allison that horrible package?

Comment and vote please😊 I don't know how many chapters this story will have but probably at least, it would be in the 30s.
