Home Chapter 1

It was the summer of 1998 when my favorite doll went missing, I have not seen my doll for 13 years!  Yeah, that is a long time and I miss her so much.  It all started when I was at my house it was just a normal day and then all of a sudden "Bam"!! there was something in the house where I had lived my whole life.  As I rushed upstairs I discovered that my doll my only doll had gone missing.  Then I flew down the stairs to tell my mother and father that my doll had vanished.  Well they thought that I had gone absolutely crazy, I told them and I yelled and screamed and all of it was like a whisper to them, they did not even believe me like always.  Caitlyn was my name but my parents just called me Cait, "Cait you are just hearing things that are not really real" my mom said.  My father had agreed with my mother like always, it was like they were never on my side.   But you know what I was not going to let it get to me, I know what I heard and it was real.  That next day I went to school like always and did what I had always done, and of course what my parents have told me to do and that is, be a good child, follow the rules, and of course, listen to the teacher, which I had always done then again I was a really good child well maybe.  Mind you this weekend is when my favorite doll had disappeared and was probably was never to be found again.  So as I sat and ate lunch my friend Sofia came up to me and asked me how my weekend was.  "It was really good I just spent time with my family and watched movies and ate popcorn".  "That sounds really fun Caitlyn, I wish me and my family could watch movies or go out to eat, but you know that we don't have that kind of money".  I felt really bad for Sofia I mean she was the best person to hang out with, we would have sleepovers and stay up until midnight, I remember those good old days.  But now it just feels like they have disappeared, and I want to spend more time with her.  The thing that scares me so much is that I don't want to tell her about my doll that like I said went missing.  After school, I go to my grandparent's house because of my mother and father work until late into the night, which I don't see my parents until possibly until 10:00 p.m.  I had always wondered why my parents did not have another child, I mean it sucks being the only child but at the same time it is also kind of nice, I guess.
