I tell Luke. Luckily, the bus comes fast.
We're on and off within a matter of minutes. When we reach
our bus stop we run down the street to the house and bolt
through the front door. My mom's sitting at the kitchen
table with the phone to her ear. She's at the end of her
phone conversation. "Okay, thank you, bye" I hear her
say. "Mom, did they search for her at the school?" I
asked. "Yes. Shes definitely not there. They're gonna
check the video cameras and call me back. I checked the
playground around the corner. She's not there either."
Luke hesitates but then asks "Have you called dad?"
"I was just about to" she answered. Mom spends about
3 minutes talking to dad before she says to us "He's
on his way over." "Mom, I'm gonna go walk around
town and look for her. Maybe she wandered off." Luke says.
My heart is pounding. "I'm coming with you" I
say. He hesitates for a second but we're all in panick so
he agrees to let me come. "Okay. You two be very careful.
Keep your phones on" says my mom.
Luke and I head for the neighborhood around
Sarah's elementary school. We're practically running so
we don't speak until we reach the neighborhood. "Luke,
I'll go this way, you go that way" I say. "If you
find something or need me, call me" Luke says.
"Okay." Luke and I head our seprate ways. Within a
minute, I dial Dave's phone but he doesn't pick up.
"Damn" I whisper to myself. I franticly look on both
sides of the street for a little girl with short, brown, curly
hair wearing her red spring jacket, black leggings and black
shoes. Where is she? Shes only 7! How far can a 7 year old
get?! I start to get mad, but not at her. At myself. Maybe
I'm not being a good enough sister.
After
running around looking for her for 10 minutes, I stop to rest
on a park bench. Luke hasn't called. Mom hasn't called.
Dave hasn't called. I just want my sister back. I love her.
It was just last year that we would spend the weekends playing
Hide and Seek all day long. She loved it. Everytime I
found her she would laugh showing off her bright smile. Maybe
that is how I have to interpret this. This is just a huge game
of Hide and Seek. The idea makes me feel better. And right now,
I have to be the best damn seeker in the
world.
So yeah! Thats the
second chapter. I hope you like it. Feedback is much
appreciated(:
