We Don't Know Each Others Name

Return

Alex's friend Katie

Once we got back from the beach, and being scared off from that cabin and leaving Alex, we all ran to my jeep. Surprisingly it stopped raining after we left and we walked towards my jeep. We got in and I tried again to start up my car. Finally it started.

Max, Anthony, and I drove to my house in silence. When we got there we ran up to my room to discuss all of the things that had happened.

"Who was that person, and why couldn't Alex leave?" I said.

"Maybe he wanted to kill her." Max said.

"Why would you say that? and what about her parents?" Anthony cut in.

"What about them?" me and max asked.

"Won't they notice when they get back? shouldn't we tell them right away? what if they blame us?" Anthony said worriedly.

"True, but I don't think they will blame us. We should tell then so we don't get into anymore trouble than we might." I said

"But they just left for their trip. When do we call or tell them?" max asked.

"I don't know. We should sleep on this and decide in the morning." I replied. I was really worried about Alex, but I was also worried for us because we haven't called her parents. The boys had left and now it is just me here. She was supposed to spend the night, but I guess plans have changed.

It became dark outside and all I've thought about was that man and how Alex is there at that cabin with him. I tried to go to sleep, but I was struggling. I decided to place headphones in to help me fall asleep. Sure enough I dozed off.

~~~~~next morning~~~~~

I slept really rough knowing that my best friend was at some strangers house. I still didn't know what I was going to do about her parents.

Anthony and max came over. They had the same sleeping problems as me. We talked all morning about what we were going to do. They decided that they were going to call her parents, because I didn't have the nerve to do it. It was now noon and we all went out to get lunch. They went in a car and then I drove in my own. We went to subway and ordered our favorite subs we order every time we go.

After lunch they had left and I told them that I had errands to run. So instead of them hanging out with me, thy went on with their lives and did other things, just like I had wanted them to do. Wasn't really going to run errands. I really wanted to go back to the house where we had left our best friend to possibly die.

I had made it back to the beach where we had gone yesterday. I parked my jeep. I tried to get out but I was having a hard time being able to do it. I finally did. I started walking in the woods the same exact path we took to get there.

I made to the clearing of the edge of the woods to see the cabin. I just stood there. I couldn't find the strength to walk any farther. I couldn't get any closer to the house that belonged to the man holding my friend hostage.

I realized my plan was stupid and useless. What was I going to do when I got to the door what was I going to say. Nothing. I didn't know what I was going to do, a I just went back to my jeep and drive back home. I saved that mission for another day. It was just too soon.
