Coming Home?

Preface ~ Katie

"Lauren! Don't do this! Please!" I beg.

"It's too late, Katie," She spits back, and I flinch under her glare. "I'm leaving."

"Lauren, don't!" But she's already slammed the front door shut behind her.

She'll come back.

Of course she will.

She can't just leave me and mum and dad.

It's been an hour.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Mum and dad will be home any moment now, and she'll be with them.

I'm sure.

Five.

Six.

Mum and Dad are home... No sign of Lauren.

Seven.

Eight.

She would've come back by now...

Oh God no...
