It had been a little over 24 hours since Alessandra went missing. Her friends sat at the table in a heavy and uncomfortable silence with the occasional sniffle and cough. Alistair suddenly stood up angrily, startling everyone."This is total bullshit," he nearly growled out. Everyone silently agreed, staying tight lipped. They felt hopeless as they replayed what happened the previous night in their minds.

"Hey, it's been like 10 minutes. Ale would have been here by now," Harvey chewed at his lip as he stared at his phone screen.
"That hotdog probably messed her up bad," Alistair chuckled while shaking his head. Farrah laughed, elbowing him.
"If she doesn't come back soon, I'm gonna head over there and drag her by her ear," Harvey mumbled as the line to the roller coaster slowly moved up.

"What are we doing just standing here?" Harvey gritted, ignoring Alistair and moving towards the bathroom. Farrah followed in suit, her eyes wide with distraught. Alistair grabbed Annette who was frozen, dragging her along. They reached the sketchy bathrooms, trying to look around but struggling with the night sky. Farrah nearly ran into the women's bathroom yelling Alessandra's name loud enough that everyone outside was able to hear it.
