Before she disappeared, she was on the phone with Daniel:
Hey baby.
There's something u have to tell you.😃
It's really-! Wait-I-i forgot about the whole time zone change.
Is-is this a bad time? I'm- I'm so sorry. I'll call- try to get back to you later. Well soon.
No. It's not- it can wait. It's not like- it can wait until you come back.
I- no, I am sure. I promise you that it's not bad news.
Her smile falls.
I just.....
No. I just hope that you think it's not bad......
A hint?
Uh I'm... We've talked about it before.
No help? Lol.
Well I asked you how you would feel if there's another one. If we'd get another chance.
How's that not helpful?!😆
Aw, we talk about too many things. I guess.
You agree with that?
Ok. Then we will minimize our conversations.
Hey, come on. Don't pout. We'll see each other in a couple of years.
Whatever he said makes her laugh.
I'll see you soon my lovely friend.
One more thing if I may.
Please.
Please. Please be advised.
Please be careful out there.
I-i- we want you to be home safely.
Swear on my life
That took me by surprise
No!
No. Right now!
Silence.
Well not really.
I couldn't hear him anyway.
If you're lying, I'm gonna die.
We'll see.
Three hours later
I woke up in the room alone
It is a certain amount of time to start getting worried about her whereabouts.
IT'S about time now.
2:50
Here I am recalling the times i was waiting for them to come back.
they forgot about me
they left me
for weeks.
almost MONTHS!
i'd do anything to not live thru dat again
but i'm not selfish
i recall the time thomas was mad at me at the laundromat
Well, you could at least help me.
m: I would, if you stop hollering.
You're the one who dropped them! Wake me up when that machine stops.
m;I ain't waking you up.
t;I'm not playing with you.Now, wake me up when that machine stops!
>Oh! How come you didn't wake me up when I told you to?
You don't tell me what to do.
Where'd you get that?
That machine.
You spent our quarters?
I was thirsty.
Oh, man, we need those! We don't even have enough for the dryers!
So?
What happened to our clothes?
I don't know.
Somebody stole our clothes.
me;It's not my fault.
Yes, it is-- instead of going to get a soda, how come you weren't watching the clothe.
How come you weren't watching them?
'Cause I was asleep, and that's why I told you to wake me up! You're always messing stuff up. I hate you!
that hurt but i was acting this way cause of what hap w/ my parents beforehand.
I don't care.
Where are you going?
m; None of your business, that's where I'm going.we didn't talk for weeks
