Kesha’s song *Tick Tock* was playing on my phone, which woke me up that
morning. Who in the world calls this early in the morning? Do they not have
respect for other peoples’ sleep? I know it seems like I'm blowing this out
of portion, but I need my sleep. I throw my cover off of me and get out of
bed, then walk over to my dresser and retrieve my phone. The caller I.D.
says it’s a blocked number, which I usually don't answer.
"Hello?" I ask. There was breathing on the other end of the line. “Hello?”
"If you don't want your little friend here to die, then I suggest that you
don't get the cops involved. Is that understood?" he demands.
Well, now I was definitely awake. "How did you get my number?" I asked the
man.
"No asking questions! Will you, or will you not get the cops involved, and
you better pick the right answer.”
"I-I-I promise I won’t get the cops involved," I said.
"That's a good girl…and don't worry, we will get to see each other very
soon," he said before the line went dead.
Did that just really happen? I wonder what the answers to those questions
will be. But I do know one thing: he has Candy. I try and call back the
number but it says that it is disconnected. I can’t believe that this is
happening to me. I decide to hop in the shower to relax. I let the hot
water run down my back and try to get these horrible thoughts of what might
be happening to Candy out of my head. After my not so great shower I decide
what I'm going to wear for today. After getting myself ready, I head
downstairs to the kitchen and walk past my mom, who has on her work
clothes.
When I walk up to the refrigerator, there are only two eggs left. Really?
Who ate all of the eggs? I take the rest of the eggs and find the frying
pan, I set the frying pan on the stove and pour in some oil. While I let my
eggs cook, I go back to my room because I just remembered that I didn't
have my phone with me. As I was bringing it downstairs, I realized that
there was a text message from Zach.
Zach: hey are we still on for today
I replied, asking him what he was talking about.
Zach: ha ha we are suppose to hang out today remember
Me: ohh yeah i forgot about that ha ha srry.
Zach: its ok…so i have everything planned today
Me: you have everything planned? what do u mean?
Zach: now if i told you then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it, just

Me: sure i can do that
Zach: Alrightly then see ya la8ter
Me: lol ok ill see you later
Zach: :)
I smile at the thought of hanging out with him today. I wonder what we are
going to do?
