Emmett was suspended, and in trouble with the law. Dash was also suspended, and Anna was a mess. I didn’t get to see her after that incedent because the principal ran in and so did the police and they took her from there. I wanted to hold her. I wanted to be the one to make sure she was ok. It wasn’t that easy. It never was. The next afternoon I went to Anna’s house to make sure she was ok. I knocked on the door. Anna’s mother opened the door just enough for her body to block the entrance and glared at me.
“Can I help you?” she said. She obviously didn’t know who I was, or that I stayed over a few nights before.
“Hi, I’m Cameron. I’m a friend of Anna’s. I need to talk to her. Is she alright?”
“Anna isn’t here.” she blurted out before I could continue.
“Do you know where she is?” I asked, desparate.
“She said she went to her Grandmother’s, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. She lies about where’s she’s going when she’s stressed.” She shut the door before I could respond.
Where is she?
