The Night Of The Escape

It was a regular night....well that's what I thought at least. I was on the phone with my best friend Brooke. I couldn't go to sleep that night for some reason but something was a little fishy about that night. I lived in a apartment room D311 Brooke lived in the floor above me. It was at that moment I seen a black shadow run behind Brooke. She didn't realize until I told her. We got a little creeped out so we decided to go to sleep for the night. I was excited to talk to her the next day but she didn't come. So I just thought she skipped school to hang out with her boyfriend Carson. It was time to go home so I called her but she didn't answer that's when I got a little scared because Brooke ALWAYS picks up her phone. But she didn't this time....my palms got a little sweaty I started freaking out. I got home and called her but once again she didn't pick up. Once I told my mom she immediately called Brooks mother. Brooks mom said that she went missing yesterday in the middle of the night. After that me and my mom went on the news as soon as possible. There was murderer on the lose and to stay indoors at all times. That's when I knew that Brooke wasn't going to be okay. I ran to my room locked the door and started to cry. Now there was a huge police investigation to find my best friend I still had hope everyone did. But there was this little voice in my head saying she's going to be okay. But I still was scared. It was December 23 2019 two days before Christmas. That was the last thing on my list to think about the only thing I cared about was my best friend Brooke. The police investigations has been happening for two years and there's been no luck finding Brooke. It was the next day I decided to take a walk I heard a girl screaming....it didn't sound like Brooke so I just went back home and didn't think anything of it. The next day was my first day of high school it was like any other day to me. I didn't care. Brooke was still missing and that was the only thing on my mind at that point. The police was almost positive she was dead but I still had hope. The investigation has stopped and I wasn't happy about that it was almost like everyone gave up. Brooke was my best friend so I did a little investigation myself. All I knew was that I was going to find Brooke one way or another that was a promise. The next day I decided to go walking again I went the same way to. I heard the same scream. The scream came from this little shed behind this old wooden house. I slowly made my way over the shed door was locked but I had to get in there so I looked in the crack of the shed by the door I seen Brooke. I didn't know what to do so I pulled a bobby pin out of my hair and tried to pick the lock after 2 tries I unlocked the lock and opened the door I seen Brooke all tied up. We both broke down in tears crying I ran over and untied Brooke as fast as I can we both ran out of that building as fast as possible and went straight to Brookes house when we opened the door Brookes mom was in the kitchen making dinner when she heard the door open she turned around and say Brooke she broke down in tears and screamed for Brookes dad he came rushing in a ran to hug Brooke after Brookes parents got done crying they asked who found her Brooke said I did and her parents looked over at me and hugged me and said thank you to me about 50 times me and Brooke went to my house and my mom was so happy Brooke was back after that we went to the hospital to run some test....turns out the guy who kidnapped Brooke was the murderer and was planning to kill her the next day he was sentenced life in jail April 14th 2019.
