I awake to the sound of dozens of pairs of feet racing down the hallway, I sit up, rubbing my eyes. Glancing out the window, the sky is dark and gloomy, rain hits the window like hundreds of tiny bullets. As I sit and wonder what all the commotion is about, I hear a familiar voice greet me from across the room. “Good Morning Lottie!” I look across at the little tatted brown bear, his button eyes looking happily at me from the old chest of drawers. “Oh, good morning Patches” I replied with a yawn. “Want to go for a walk before breakfast?” Patches asks. I look back to the window and then back to Patches “But it's a bit wet outside” “Only a little. Think of all the puddles!” The sound of splashing in puddles makes me excited. “Oh yay!” I …show more content…
But Kye’s not in his bed, I guess he's getting breakfast with the other kids. Ill just wait. About half an hour passes, and Kye still hasn't returned. I decide to be brave and go alone downstairs to see what he is doing. When I reach the kitchen, I can tell something is wrong. Anna is talking on the phone and the kids are awfully quiet. They stare at me. Anna sees me and hangs up the phone, she smiles and wanders over to me. “Lottie I need to talk to you in private please” We go into the office and she sits me down. “I need to know if you know Kyes whereabouts, he hasn't been seen all morning and we think he could of ran away, do you have any idea where he went?” I feel sick. Ran away? Why would he run away. I shake my head and she smiles. “Thats okay, but if you know anything, let us know so we can find him.” I nod again and leave. “I bet he got so weirded out he ran off” I hear the whispers start, before I can hear anymore, I leave. When I get back to my room, Patches is waiting for me. “Hello Lottie! Do you want to come outside and play?” “Not today Patches, Do you know where Kye is?” “Dont worry about Kye, you have me to play with, im your friend” I shake my head. “Kyes my friend too, did you see him leave?” “I dont know what your talking about, just come and play on the swings with me” “No, I have to find …show more content…
I headed straight outside where the dumpster was kept and opened up the lid. “What are you doing?! Im your bestfriend? Im your only friend, if you get rid of me Lottie you'll have no one!” Patches yelled at me. “Thats not true, I have friends and the things you tell me are the reason they don't like me!” Before he could reply, I hurdled Patches into the dumpster, I heard him landing with a thump and I closed the lid with a bang. I turned towards the woods in the clearing, running as fast as my legs would take me, I wasnt running for long when I heard a cry, it was Kye! I headed in the direction of the sound and found him sitting below a tree. “There you are!” I was so happy I found him and he was okay. “We need to get you back!” I grabbed his hand and started running back, dragging him along with me. “What were you doing out here?!” He puffed as he spoke, “You're going to think im crazy, but it was your bear, last night I woke up to him telling me to leave, to run away and never come back, im sorry i was so scared” We made it out of the clearing, we came to a stop and I turned to
"You're the only friend I've got. I ... I'm not even friendly with myself, but you are. With me, I mean, aren't you, Ellsworth?"
“I know. Come here.” he said as he walked over and hugged me. We rarely hugged but when we did I felt like a child
"We wouldn't be able to find him until morning. Usually in the backyard", she said.
"I have to find him." He seemed unfazed by the creepy dancing woman in the room. He scampered out of the room and I helped him move the refrigerator from the door before we walked out into the hall.
“ But what will happen once they come back and find me gone? What will happen to you ?“ She says while she frantically follows him . She knows that he is worried as well and is terrified of what would happen if he doesn't do anything.
“That’s complete and utter bullshit ,” Lance interjected, turning to his friend in protest. “How could you throw me under the bus like this? I thought we were friends!”
“What?” I snap in a whisper. We stand at the bottom of the stairs, away from Felix and Thorn. He still doesn’t trust them and it’s going to take time, which we don’t have.
I turn around to face him. “It wasn’t that hard. He’s the only one who’s been helping you.”
“Yeah he’s with me.” Malessica said. “He protected me from the gunman, but we need to get home. I have to talk to dad now.”
School ended an hour ago and I am still on the bus texting my friends. "Come over at 4:45. We are going to play a game, bring flashlights"-Jaemin. When I finally get home I go straight to my room and grab all my flashlights and my watch. A few minutes later Oscar shows up and Eliot got a ride with Rob. That leaves Leyton and John, they are always late. 4:46 and Leyton gave John a ride so then we get inside and go to the kitchen and make some popcorn. When I walked in and I hear the TV on. I wonder who turned it on and thought that something was recording and I turned it off.
As I'm dashing through an open meadow I stumble, open what seems like a new device. It had buttons and made weird noises. Of corse I must have been hallucinating. That was the only logical explanation. But then the divide disappeared. I started jogging again, gliding through trees and storming through villages. And then I stopped. It's was if there was a tree right in front of me that I missed and stumbled into. Although after I hit the object I fell face forward. But then I glanced up and saw hands rushing towards me. It was a man. He had long hair as dark as the night. I stared deeply into his Crystal blue eyes. Then he said something that caught my eye. He said Awenti, are you okay. I couldn't believe it, there was a boy in front of
“I hang out with them because I would be just like you right here in this same exact moment, and I don’t want that to happen,” mumbled Trey.
“Glad to see you aren’t running,” David says. Aiden’s hand is still on my back, and it gives me the support I realize now I needed.
I turned back trying to make her feel comfortable coming close to her and holding her hand, I told her I guarantee that we will find him you just have to tell us what happened.
“That is really weird. He usually never forgets these things. Let’s go to the pond to ask him. Also, we need to let everyone know you’re safe.”
