Gone

The phone rang. "Hello," I said, "Hello." No one was there. I put the phone down trying to hold back every tear in my eye, as I wish just one phone call would be about how someone had found her. We had been getting all kinds of phone calls ever since she went missing. My best friend the very soul of my happiness the bright star in a dark gloomy sky was gone.

Everyone says they still feel as if she was still here and it's almost as if she never went missing. Do I think that? No, whenever I think of her being back here I remember how cruel she was and the way she had so much power over ones emotion, how almost everything was about her as if I was almost happy she was gone. But then I remember how she had the ability to make you feel so special as if you were her whole world. I want her back but at what price?

It was exactly a year after Maddison went missing. Every labor day we will have to remember the tragic incident that happened that night but none of us spoke about it not me, not Parker not Emeline, not even Zaria as her closest friends we couldn't bring ourselves to face it.

"ANNA." My mom shouts as I hear a crack in her voice.

"Mom. What's wrong?" I say with a scrutinized look on my face.

My mom hands me the latest paper with a panic-Stricken look on her face. My hands shook as I took a massive gulp and felt my saliva sliver down my throat. BODIE FOUND AT THE BACK OF HASTINGS AND DILAURENTIS GARDEN THE DECEASED IS SUSPECTED TO BE MADDISON DILAURENTIS. You'd imagine after all this time we would be able to live in peace but no not in this town its a circle of mysteries that all correspond with one another and you can't escape you are trapped under it's sickening spell. It catches you and strangles you until it pushes you to the limit and you can no longer go on until you have to leave and want to turn away and never come back to this place. But if I leave after they found my best friends body and I was one of the last people to ever see her alive they would only suspect me.
