Missing

I woke up with a big migraine from all the drinking last night but hey who's there to stop you when it's an all teens party. I tried to listen intensively to see if there's anything or anyone up but I was greeted to the sound of...well nothing, which really wasn't normal I usually wake up to my sister barging in my room to wake me up for well anything. But today was different I mean I really didn't take too much to dwell on it, I thought maybe she just got up early to go somewhere. Then I realized we are new here there's nothing or nobody she really knows here to go with without me that is. Not trying to sound like a bitch but it's true whenever we meet new people and hang out she always sticks next to me and I never complain because I love her company. Like I said she can make anyone smile and laugh with her even if they aren't feeling up to it but that's just who she is and I love that about her.

So I started thinking maybe she's not up yet so me being the lovely person I am decided to get out from under the devilishly magnificent warmth I call my blanket and casually tiptoe over to her doorstep. (Yeah cause tiptoeing is so casual huh). Once I reach the door I slowly turn the knob to make sure not to wake her up , I peek my head in with of course you guessed it a bucket of ice water. I slowly crept towards her bed and splash the water all over her, or so I think I do. But when I don't see her move or scream I yank the soaking sheets and comforter away from what once looked to be a body turns into a set of blankets and some pillows.

Then that brings me to the conclusion that 'what if she never made it back home' I started freaking out. I mean honestly where could she be. I shouldn't have left her all alone she was always the type to get scared easily. This is all my fault, so I slowly start crying for a good half hour or so, but then I realize our parents didn't know were we went last night.

They don't know where we went OH MY GOD!

How am I gonna tell them!

This is gonna break them!

What am I gonna do, what if they end up blaming me, I don't know what to do. How will they react?!

What if she's never to be seen again? How will I live with myself if that ever does happen? Will she hate me I once we find her and blame everything on me? GOD THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!!! What is I never do find her how will my parents view me afterwards how will I view myself afterwards?!

I just started freaking out at this point but I already know what I have to do but how? That's the question, how am I gonna tell them that it's all my fault that we left and now my lovely sister is missing?! Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no!!! What am I gonna do! I start yelling at myself in my head at this point I'm literally pulling at my hair and bitting my nails which I never do I mean I love my nails.

I'm finally brought out of my train of thought when I hear something coming from the kitchen, so I of course run down stairs thinking it's gonna be my sister making something to eat. I'm running down 2 flights of stairs at this point to get to the kitchen with the biggest smile filled of hope and happiness. In case you didn't know yes my family is rich, as my dad being the CEO of one of the biggest and most well known technological companies (if that is even a word I mean I don't really care) called VFC(Valencia founder company), and my mother being one of the worlds most famous fashion designers and interior/exterior designers as well as owning her own wedding venue shop and planners. So yeah if that doesn't tell you much my families income is a lot when you think about it.

I'm brought out of thought when the kitchen door comes into view, and I stop dead in my tracks when I only see my mom at the stove making breakfast. Did I not tell you that me and my sister eat like a shit ton, no well I am now. She was wearing her work clothes and an apron over it to make sure the clothes underneath don't get dirty. There was already a stack of pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, sausages, and a pitcher of freshly made orange juice and strawberry mint water. She was cleaning up at this point, then I look at my dad sitting at the table with a dark French roast coffee cupped in his right hand with the rim right next to his lips ready to take a sip. He had some of his paperwork out on the table to go over real quick before he heads off to work.

Oh right did I tell you that me and Roxy were adopted when we were baby's, apparently our parents couldn't have children of their own and a lady ran up to them with a round very pregnant belly about to pop. Like seriously. They took this lady in because she needed help from what we don't know maybe my parents do but before giving birth she apparently took out these two rings we both got on our 14th birthday. Supposedly she wanted them to give us the rings on our 14th birthday and some other things like how she loved us and all.

I mean I really can't be mad at her for leaving us it wasn't her fault she died while giving birth to us, sometimes i just wish I knew her though. But it really didn't matter at this point because even though she gave birth to us and gave us life and all, my parents will always be Daren Gus Valencia and Analia Brea Valencia. Before our biological mother, whose name I can't remember I was told so long ago, died she asked if they can adopt us and they asked if she was sure and she said yes and they said that they were so happy that they can finally have kids. So they said yes of course and she later died that day due to complications during the birth and that's how we are here now.

Our parents offered to help us find our biological(bio) family But we declined of course because I'd she was running from them then why would we want to go back to them, that kinda seems stupid and like a waist of her efforts plus we already had a great family and parents at that. All I can say is they looked so relieved to hear that that they couldn't even hide it from their huge smiles plastered on their faces. Back to the moral of the topic.

"Where's you sister sweetheart, is she still asleep at this time?" My mom says all while turning her head to look up at the clock on the wall above the China cabinets and a voice filled with curiosity. "I hope you two had fun and made some new friends at that party you went to yesterday." At this my head snaps so fast to her that it really honestly and truly hurt so bad that my eyes started watering because I got the worse case of whiplash, that bitch hurt. "What?!" I almost practically yell, "How do you know about that? I didn't think you guys noticed we left..." I quickly slap my hands over my mouth trying not to be stupid and say anymore at this point.

I let out a long exasperated sigh when I realized they just kept staring at me like I was crazy or something with a hint of concern cause yeah it's not normal for her to not be up before me.

"Wellllll...Ihaven'tseenheryettodayshewasntinherroomlikeusualwheniwentintoopenthedoor" I can't believe I said that all in one long singular breath. "What pumpkin we couldn't hear anything you just said" my dad says as he places his paperwork down with an eyebrow raised with curiosity and amusement, to get a better understanding of what I'm saying. At this point I can't help but feel really fidgety and nervous.

I take in a deep breath and try to calm my nerves down to some extent, 'you can do it all you have to do is just say it you got this, right' I try to talk myself into this before I totally freak out again. 'Deep *inhale* breaths *exhale*...' I walk over to the chair a take a seat across from my dad to explain what I know so far. I take one more deep breath and look back up to my father and mother and look back down really quick and I think this has got their full attention and if not then the fact that I've been quiet for far too long has. I mean usually I'm a really talkative and outgoing type of person.

"Yes me and Roxy went to the party to make new friends but I came home first because I started to get tired and Roxy seemed to be having a lot of fun so I told her to come home when she's ready..." I take this chance to look up to them and see that I have their full attention so I look back down at my hands as if they were oh so very interesting, but they really weren't I was so nervous at this point I bet they can hear my heart beating out of my chest from a mile away.

"Once I woke up this morning nobody was there to wake me up hence why I'm the only one to come to the kitchen" I look back at them then again my hands that are now on the verge of bleeding from being picked and bit at so much. "I went to wake Roxy up this time thinking cold ice water would do so I splash it on her bed, but their was no movement so I moved her blanket and whatnot to only find her pillows and other blankets together."

I started tearing up at this point but held them back to try to act tough I didn't want to look like I lost hope or something. I don't know what of yet that's the problem though there was probably most likely nothing to be worried about but deep down I knew their was and it hurt like a bitch to think of it and all the possibilities.

I look back at them but this time my eyes stayed planted on theirs only to see confusion and what I think is concern for what I don't really know probably the fact that Roxy is missing. Let's just make this quick "I don't think she ever made it home" I chocked out, at this point tears start falling down my cheeks and I let out some sobs they weren't cute let me tell you that. I couldn't help but wipe them away with my long sleeves even though it didn't do them much justise.

"It's all my f-fault if only I we-went with my gut fee-feeling then thi-this wouldn't have happened" I couldn't stop the tears no matter what I do at this point they just kept falling and falling like a river trying to escape a dam. No scratch that the fucking dam already brick. At this point I'm just crying and saying I'm so sorry. I feel a set of arms wrap around me and pull me into their chest telling me it's ok and it's not my fault but I know it is if only I told her we shouldn't go tonight. Then another set of arms come crashing in and I look up to my mother with tears in her eyes telling me we'll find her but I already had a feeling it won't be good if we do. So I just started crying even harder.

I know mom loved us both so much but deep down I know she loved or liked her more, because she was the girly-girl mom wanted so she was Mamas girl while I was more of a daddy's girl. I was the more head strong and tomboy one of the two of us. So I really didn't mind that she got moms love because all the while I got dads. So I know mom was taking a huge blow to this. I just wrapped my arms around them making sure they were tight but not too tight to suffocate them. I held them close hoping they won't ever leave me so they didn't, they stayed home from work and called the police to make a report.

Later that day the police show up to our house and I give them my statement and walk back to my room and close it softly and walk back into my bed and wrap myself back up and start crying myself to sleep wishing it was me that went missing instead hoping that she's alright and nothing happens to her. The last thing I think of is all the sweet memories we shared before she went missing and how I miss her.

I don't really know when I fell asleep but I did in the middle of all my crying and I didn't really care I just wanted my sister back. I missed her, I missed having her joke with me. I missed having her laugh with me. I missed all the bickering and fights we had. I missed how she would always have this spark in her eyes whenever she was really focused on something and wanted to get it done no matter what. I missed how she would always yell at me for all the stupid yet small things I would do, and whenever I got into trouble she would try to get in trouble to, to go through what I was going through or to just be with me. But most of all I missed her. I missed her like she was that breathing tube to keep a patron alive while in their coma and I was in that coma and she was the breathing tube. I miss her. I only remember whispering a "I miss you" before I knew it I was out cold.
