His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 24: Missing

Y/N's POV

I woke up to my alarm going off. I reached over and grabbed my phone. I turned off the alarm and got out of bed. I made my way over to the bathroom to take a shower.

After my shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and left the bathroom. I looked for an outfit, thankful that I had done laundry the night before. I put on some underwear and a bra before choosing an outfit. I settled on a F/C shirt that covered my arms and some jeans. I also grabbed a sweatshirt and tied it around my waist, knowing that I would need it when I went outside.

After I got dressed, I made my way over to the bathroom again. I grabbed my brush to work on my hair. I looked into the mirror while brushing my hair. I didn't look as tired as I did yesterday. I didn't look the best, but at least it's not as bad as yesterday.

After I was done with my hair, I walked into the kitchen. I looked through the fridge for anything to eat. Might need to go grocery shopping soon. I grabbed the eggs and butter and set them on the counter by the stove. I grabbed a pan and a spatula and prepared to make some eggs.

I listened to the satisfying sizzle of the eggs as I checked the time. 7:30AM. I still had an hour and a half before I had to be in class. I flipped my eggs and grabbed a plate along with a fork before heading back over to the stove. I was ready for some food.

I made my way over to the couch with my food. I found the remote and turned on the TV. It was already set on the news. The weatherman was talking about what the weather was going to be like in the next few days. I watched as I started to dig into my food.

A couple minutes later, a story about a missing person was on. Well, that's new. I gave the screen my full attention. The person missing was a man at the age of 21. The story went on with more information on the case.

Once I was done with my food, I took my plate to the sink. I washed it along with everything I used to make my food. I put the dishes back after they were clean. I put the eggs and butter back into the fridge. I looked around to make sure everything was in place.

I walked back into my room and gathered everything I would need for school. I grabbed my phone and checked the time. 8:10AM. I still had some time before I had to leave. I decided to quickly check YouTube to see if there were any new posts that I should watch later that day.

About fifteen minutes later, I decided I should head off. I grabbed my backpack and keys and walked out. Before making my way out of the build, I put on the sweatshirt I still had tied around my waist. I walked out making my way to my car. I got in and started the car before driving off.

By the time I made it to the classroom it was 8:40AM. There were a few students there already. I made my way over to my seat and sat down, setting my backpack on the floor next to me. I pulled out my phone and some earbuds. I listened to music while waiting for my friend to arrive.

About ten minutes later, Alicia walked into the classroom. She looked around and saw me sitting in my usual spot. She smiled and made her way over to me. She sat down in the spot next to me. She set her backpack next to mine on the floor.

I pulled out my earbuds as she turned towards me. She started by asking, "Did you hear about the man who went missing?"

I responded, "Yes, why do you ask?"

"Did you know him? Apparently, he was a student here." she said.

My eyes widened a bit at her words. "Really? I didn't know. No, I didn't know him." I replied.

"Well, Bella did. She would hang out with him from time to time. She's pretty upset right now. She just hopes he's ok and that he'll come back in one piece." Alicia said.

"All that we can do now is hope that he's ok. Hope they don't find him dead." I quietly mumbled the last part, hoping Alicia didn't hear it.

It looked like she didn't hear it. I let out a silent relieved sigh. We continued talking. We talked about random subjects. The only thing that stopped us from talking was the bell.

After all of my classes, I drove back to my apartment building. I walked into my apartment and made my way over to the fridge, wanting to see if there was anything I could snack on. When I opened the fridge, I remember the mental note I made this morning. I needed to get groceries. With a sigh, I walked back out of my apartment.

Almost an hour later, I walked back into my apartment with groceries. I set the bags on the counter and put everything away. I grabbed a bag of chips to snack on. I made my way over to the couch. I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.

I sat there watching TV for about half an hour before I realized that I needed to get up to go to work. I turned off the TV and got up. I closed the bag of chips and put them away. I walked into my room and got ready for work. I grabbed my phone and keys before leaving my apartment.

After I got back from work, I walked into my room. I went straight over to my computer and opened it. I went onto YouTube and watched some videos. I ended up watching random videos until almost 11PM. I got up and closed my computer.

I decided it was time to get some sleep. I walked over to my closet and put on some pajamas. I checked my phone to make sure that the alarm was set. After checking, I plugged in my phone and put it on the bedside table. I crawled into bed, just then remembering that The Puppeteer said that he was going to pay me a visit.
