Welcome to my first story! This is about a average teenage girl who has the perfect life. But she always has one certain thing missing that she can't figure out. One day, when her parents go on a trip to Paris without her, something unexpected happ...
It was an ordinary day for me, except for this time, my parents, Angelica and Jacob Redwood went to Paris without their own daughter! Of course this made me very upset, but apparently it was "business" according to my dad. My dad was a hardworking man, and my mom, well, she was a house mom. Seems normal right? Not. Would a perfect ordinary normal family have such a useless drug addict daughter? No.
Enough about my parents. Let me introduce myself. I am Mikayla Redwood, a 17-year old teenager who smokes every day. Yeah, you could say I have a problem, and I can't help it. Who can resist it? Anyway, there was normal sides of me at times. I had a great popular friend group because I was rich. I had Lily, the shy one, Brittney the head leader, Maggie, the funny one, and then there was me, Mikayla, the smart one. I wasn't nerdy smart, but smart at least. We were all the prettiest girls in school. But being pretty comes with a price. Everyone has dark secrets, including me which you know, is that I smoke everyday. But lots of teens do... right?...
So now that you know about me, let's just get on with my story. I woke up to a sound of a thump the day after my parent's trip to Paris. I went downstairs quietly in my cotton candy nightgown and my bunny slippers to see if it was a robber. The door was locked, so I looked through the window. The only thing I saw was a newspaper on the ground. I didn't see anybody though. But what mainly scared me was the newspaper. I know it seems silly, but if you think about it, our neighborhood is located somewhere in the woods. So it doesn't make sense to anybody who would come here. But then again, dad did always read a newspaper in the morning, but I didn't care about where it came from. I unlocked the door and went outside just barely and picked up the newspaper gently and went inside. I was crouching down and I looked up, but nobody was in sight. I went inside and locked the door.
Normally I wouldn't care for reading the newspaper because I had news on devices or whatever. It also seemed more like a manly thing. But something on the newspaper caught my attention. The headline read

I stared at the paper. That was the flight my mom and dad went on. I called them quickly but there was no answer and I left a voicemail on the phone.
"Mom?... Dad?... If your alive, please contact me as quickly as you can. I read what happened on the newspaper." When I sent it I could feel my face getting hot and me tearing up. I screamed crying and collapsing on the floor.
A few neighbors had heard me when they knocked on my door. I answered without opening it saying and lying that I was alright and I had a jump scare from a video. I couldn't hold it in. I ran up to my room and sobbed my eyes out.
I'm sorry for the cliffhanger everybody! I know this story might be bad or barely have descriptions! I will read all comments! Please tell me the honest truth and I do not care if it is brutal because it will help me grow to be a better writer! So let me know below and I will try to write more of this series soon! Bye I love you guys!
