Found

a break

School is over for the past week, due to thanksgiving break. Gives me an opportunity to search for Lucas. As I'm walking, I felt fingers grip on my wrist. I then turn around to see Troy. "What?" I ask.

"Project? Did u forget, Reed?" He scoffed.

"Of course I didn't. Tomorrow. I'm busy." I muttered walking away. I meet Zara by the coffee place, not to far. "Hey!" I said in a breathy voice.

"Hey. You good?" Zara sneered. I catch my breathing and sit down.

"Had to run here." I said laying back. Zara gives me a look, the 'wanna go search now?' look. I nod my head, as I take a sip of my glittery black water bottle.

"Where first?" Zara asked. I point to the oddly woods in the corner of my eye. "Over there?" Zara groaned in horror.

"What? Are you scared?" I joked.

"How funny." Zara replied walking towards the woods. "You sure he is here?" I folded my arms.

"If I knew where he was, I wouldn't be searching for him right now." I hissed under my breath.

We began to search. I kept dangling my flashlight every time I heard a noise, or a footstep. "There's nothing here, Haze. It's time for dinner. We should go home." Zara complained. I listened. There's always a tomorrow right?

As we were trying to find a way home, Zara and I seen cops everywhere. Guess they were searching too. A cops eyes land on us. "Hey!" I heard him yell. We wasn't gonna run from a cop, so we stayed where we were.

"What are you kids doing here?" A cop from beside us asked. I widened my eyes.

"Uh. We were looking for my lost bike, and I just remembered I left it at her house." I answered while pointing to Zara, faking a smile on my face.

"You sure? You wasn't looking for your boyfriend?" He replied. "I get it. I know what it's like to lose a loved one." I widened my eyes. "Get on home, we'll try our best to find him." I listened and went straight home. Zara walked to her apartment as I walked to my house. My mother opened the door for me.

"Hey sweetie." A smile grew on her face as I walked in. "You okay?"

"Fine." I mumbled. "Why does everyone keep asking me that?" My eyes widened as i went upstairs.

I sat on my bed, in tears. Looking at Lucas and I in a Valentine's Day photo. He won me a teddy bear while we were at the carnival. I wipe my tears and place the picture back down, and take a warm hot shower.

I get in bed trying to fall asleep. I didn't feel tired, or awake. This all felt like some dream, I was trapped in and stuck in forever. I eventually fell asleep, and woke up with no dreams this time.
