Together at Last?

“Rise and shine,” my mom shouted as she dramatically pulled the curtains apart and sun beams came shooting into my eyes. I rolled over until I slammed onto the freezing cold wood. “Oww!” I moaned to myself. I was going to NYC with a bunch of my friends and I had to look perfect, especially because we were going to Times Square! I pulled out a bunch of my old fitted tops and find the perfect baby blue lace up top that I have been saving. I scrolled through my shiny jeans until I find a suitable independent dark shade. I picked up my mascara and applied a few coats, as well as my lip gloss. I threw on my new shiny, black, tall boots and ignored the breakfast my mom had made for me. I really wished that I never had ignored her kind smile and actually ate breakfast with her, because that might have been the last time I ever get to see my mom, ever again!


I climbed into my friends car and we drove off to the city. I stared at my house growing further and further away. And fading into apartments and bright lights. We pass the streets flooded with people of all types, that is what I loved about New York City. Once we made a sharp turn into a parking spot I stopped day dreaming, it's time to have fun!


Hearing the click sounds on the wedges of our shoes as we walk down the sidewalks. We all didn’t know the times square area as well. We were walking around and enjoying the view until I spotted a perfect store! It was a pastel blue with gems in peaceful patterns. It was the perfect match! Running into the store, we went crazy and picked up a bunch of clothes to try on. The store had all the styles you could imagine!from vintage to modern. We grabbed everything we saw! Hangers were stacked over our arms! I saw one dress that was amazing, that 1 dress struck my eye. It fit my personality just right and I absolutely had to buy it! My friends disappeared into the dressing rooms while I admired the dress.


“Perfect!” I shouted as I skipped down the hall to the dressing rooms. “Aria, Lucy, where are you guys!” And until I heard faint voices gasping for help my world spun upside down.I don't know what is happening as my friends voices are drifting further and further away.


I burst out of the store , drop all my clothes, in the middle of spinning the street. Reaching for my phone with my shaking hands. Trying to get a steady grip, I called the police. As soon as I pressed call, my screen turned all static. Looking up and away from my phone, I see and can feel a flash of movement behind my back.



“Oh no!” I screamed so loud I couldn't even hear my own voice screaming.I knew exactly what was happening someone was hacking into my phone! I look at my shaking phone that got an unknown text saying. “ Sweetie, you are not alone you are being watched and things are about to get real. I would start running before it’s too late.”Before what is too late? I panicked. Looks like this isn’t just someone hacking into my phone, someone wants to kidnap me! My eyes made a gesture I couldn't tell if it is tears.

I start sprinting as fast as I could in the middle of Time Square. Knocking over people's shopping bags and pushed through food truck lines.Running up to as many people I can find and started shouted in their face “Help me I am going to be hurt!” and to each and every person louder and louder. But, even the loudest I've ever screamed was not even enough. They all gave me a run-that-is-a-crazy-person look! My mouth was dragging words and throwing them off the buildings. I had no more speech I couldn't save myself anymore. My world was ending as a pure black force took over me. I was dropping into the earth gravity was fighting with me. My world is black now just black.


I woke up in a deep space. Fear was in control of my body. Music was blasted, I felt my body move. I was in a car, and I am driving even further away from the city and my house! A frantic panic stroke over my body. I miss my house and my friends, I don’t know what is happening to me! Falling down from the pain, I decide to fall asleep, not caring. I needed to disappear, in hope I would wake up and be with my Mom just like this morning.
