Scribbled Notes

By: Valerie 

"I know what it feels like, that has happened to me my whole life something ALWAYS goes wrong when I am included." That's the last thing I heard from my best friend. Before she disappeared. When she disappeared she left only a note. " This is something I have to do by myself, I have to take care of this. Will be in touch soon." What does that mean? I have no clue what I am supposed to do. I miss her like crazy and she doesn't call or write. I am scared something really bad happened to her. I really hope she is not in danger. I don't want to talk bad about her but she has been the type that is known to get in trouble, she likes to do drugs, likes to smoke, and well she kinda uses people for sex and money. She can be a dangerous person when she does that, she gets mean; fights people.

So I guess this means I am a bad friend doesn't it? Well IDK but something's telling me it is, oh by the way I got another note today, no return address or anything. It reads: Hey, just checking in, I miss you like crazy, wish I could see you, meet me at the corner of Hemlock and Fifth, I will be there, I love you! She is crazy! I want to see her but I am busy trying to deal with the police and everyone who are trying to find her, I got homework to do, and animals to feed! I can't just abandon people, and animals!

Now I know I said that I would not want to meet her but I guess that it is okay. I go there, it is a cold and rainy day, the rain is so cold I feel like I am gonna get pneumonia. As I am walking, I feel like I have elephants running in my stomach, because I am so nervous.

I get there and I don't see anyone though I am a few minutes early. I wait for about 15 minutes then start walking around, as I do I see a line of arrows, they are very faint, but I know they are from my best friend. I follow them, and when I do it leads to a Weeping Willow tree. I look and look, but I don't see anything. I am about to go home but then something catches my eye, as I walk closer I see it is a piece of yellow paper mixed in with the leaves. It says ¨"Hey, I know I said I would meet you, but I don't want to, I don't know who you brought with you, but I want to see you! I love you! I am so SORRY!¨. I re-read the note, and my eyes fill with tears.

Chapter 2

It's been two days since I have gotten the letter from Mercedes saying that she was scared to meet me because she thought I brought someone with me. I spent all the last few nights crying myself to sleep because I couldn't see my best friend who as of now has been missing for five days! I am so scared I don't know if she is lying in a ditch with a knife in her back, I have NO idea, I just hope she is ok! I love her more than anything but someone did something so bad to her and she thinks that running away is the solution. I HATE that she thinks that. We tell eachother everything and she runs away. We have been through hell and back and she still stays by my side. She is like the sister I never had. I think that something else is going on! Maybe that is why she didn't want to meet me, because it wasn't even her!? Eh, I am probably letting my imagination get the better of me.... I do that a lot. Oh and by the way I got another letter today... " I love you and I want to tell you why I left but I can't. I wanna kill myself" As I read that I started to hyperventilate. I love her and I am so scared that she will kill herself and I don't want her to. I have known her my whole life and she is just crazy to think that that is the only option. I hate that she thinks that! She knows she can tell me everything! I hate thinking that she is dead and killing herself. She means more to me than I mean to myself. Like, if my leg got chopped off trying to save her I wouldn't care. If I had to die for her I would. She means that much to me.

Chapter 3

Mercedes (missing best friend)

I was walking home from school and I had my headphones in my ears and my music up loud and I saw flames coming out of a building and I called 911 and told them what was going on. When they got there the whole building was engulfed in flames. At least no one was in that building. When they finally put out the flames completely, I was getting questioned. They asked me
