I sat by my desk and wonder if Jerry would call. U.P. was at the restaurant (Uncle Phil), so he wouldn't be home for at least another few hours. I was trying to work on my homework, but how could I when so many things were happening!? I was about to work on calculus, but then my phone started ringing.

"Hello? It's Mika, who are you?"

"Hey, Mika, have you heard from Kim recently? I've been trying to contact her for over an hour! Everyone's starting to get worried. Oh, it's Julie, by the way."

"No, I haven't seen or heard from Kim in almost a week…"

"Oh, well, thanks, bye!" And just like that, the conversation was over. As soon as I put my phone down, it started to ring again.

"Hello, Mika, we have a bit of a situation. My dad's angry and yelling at me, and I need to go somewhere, fast. So, can I come over? Like, right now?!" It was Kim, and her voice sounded really rushed, confused, and, for the first time ever, useless.

"Kim? O.K., I'm sure uncle won't mind."

"Thanks a million, Mika!"A few minutes later the doorbell rang. "Mika, it's me, Kim!"

"Hey Kim, we should probably tell everyone where you are. They were really worried."

"No, we can't, you can't even tell your uncle I'm here. I need to hide. From everyone and at the current moment I can only trust you." I brought her upstairs, and she got set up in my empty closet. It was a walk in that had no clothes or anything in it, because I switch between Halkmakistan and California too much to be set up in one place. So I live out of two suitcases, a backpack, and a purse. I usually just sleep in a sleeping bag where ever I go. And that only takes up a corner in my bedroom. So my closet remains empty.

Once we'd set up her sleeping bag and such, we went back out and sat on the floor. "Kim, why are you hiding?"

"It's a long story…" She said with a sigh.

"We have time."

"OK, so it all started when my mom got hit by a semi truck…"

Alright! This is a collision so; the next part is going to be written by my friend, Steve3T, and she's doing Kim's story.

"The semi truck was large and he crashed into my mom while we were walking home from church… I got out my phone and called 911 they didn't come until 10 min. later, even though it felt like forever." I said almost crying. I couldn't finish I just couldn't! "I'm sorry may I go to the bathroom Mika?" "Sure go in that room." She said pointing to this yellow door that matched the room nicely this is my first time here or second… I don't remember. But I went inside to find the unfinished bathroom, that's right she never really stays here long oh yeah! Sometimes I'm such a blond! (No offence to any blonds I just thought it would fit here) so I sat on the floor and cried.

I cried everything that was in me. My mom and dad fight a LOT and I can't keep it in any more. My dad hates me; before my mom got hit she and my dad were fighting over the divorce papers. Before church of course, but either way they needed me to choose who I wanna stay with. I want to stay with my mom but my dad just got REAL mad when I told him. He "loves me" supposedly. I don't care anymore but I have to my mom is still at the hospital. So I stopped crying and made it look like I didn't cry. Mika couldn't know she may be one of my best friends plus Julie and Jack but none could know
