Okay so it's short and not my best work in a long run, but its something right?


Mitchie
"No, not like that, like this" I told Alex as I took the brush from her and started carefully brushing her hair. I hit a tangle and pulled a bit harder than I meant to and she hissed in pain before grabbing the brush from me and throwing it out the bathroom window.
"Alex!" I exclaimed running to the window and looking out. "Sorry Ms. Smith!" I called out an apology to the poor woman who had been assaulted by a falling hairbrush. I shut the window trying to block out Ms. Smith's harsh words. She's supposed to be our school counselor. Go figure.
"Note to self, don't leave the window open" I muttered to myself coming back to stand in front of the girl with my hands on my hips. I raised an eyebrow and she instantly did the same. I couldn't help but laugh at her antics. I swear, it was like trying to stay mad at a puppy. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Alex watched me in curiosity before doing the same, but when she brought her hand back down, her hair fluffed out in a funny way. I giggled before fixing it myself.
"What is that?" She asked and I looked to her questioningly.
"What's what?"
"That sound you made" She said with a small smile that only grew. "I like it" I felt myself blush as I realized what she was talking about.
"Oh, erm. Its called a giggle. Its like a laugh, only... smaller" I decided. She only seemed to be more interested.
"A laugh?" I just stared at her.
"You know, like..." I tried to think of a way to describe it. "What you do when you find something funny." She looked like she was about to say something else when I heard my father calling for me. Alex and I exited the bathroom and went into my room where my dad stood in the doorway.
"Hey, I'm heading out. You sure you'll be fine with her?" He asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah don't worry, I've got it" I told him and he nodded. I hugged him as he planted a kiss on my head before leaving.
"Bye Dad" I called after him and I heard him respond before the front door opened and closed. I turned back to Alex who was watching me intently. I should be used to this, but obviously im not.
"What?" I ask her and she steps closer to me. I felt my heart pick up speed wondering what she was doing. Her face was centimeters from mine and she seemed to be filled with wonder and curiosity. She leaned in closer and I ducked my head hoping she wouldn't try to bite me. To my surprise nothing happened for a second, then I felt her lips make contact like my dad had. She let the contact linger a bit before pulling back. I looked up into her eyes that were watching me with the same intensity as usual.
"W-what was that for?" I asked a bit flustered. She shrugged and walked over to my bed and laid down.
"That's what those people were doing last night, and then he did that just now and I wanted to try it" She told me like it was nothing.
"what people from last night?" She pointed over to the corner of the room where my small TV was left playing silently having been forgotten.
"Oh" I said wondering just how long she had been watching TV last night, and just what was showing.
Just then I felt my phone go off. Alex jumped off the bed and dived under it in fear.
"Alex, it's okay, its just my phone" I told her taking it out to check the text I had just received.

I finished the poster, I sent it to your email, would you take a look?" -Harper

I just remembered where I had been last night before running into Alex. I had told her to make up a poster and send it to me so that we could distribute them. We had no idea where her friend could possibly be, but her parents suspect that she'll try to come here and see her best friend.

Of course, just let me log on- Mitchie

I went to my laptop and logged onto my email. There was one new one from Harper. I clicked on it and waited for the page to load. When it finally did I felt my eyes widen considerably. There on the screen was a poster on the top it said MISSING in block black letters Under it had a photo of a teenage girl around our age giving the camera a sarcastic smile. She had long black raven hair and sparkling brown eyes. Under the picture it said;
Selena Russo 16 years old, last seen in Dallas Texas leaving school with her girlfriend. Girlfriend also missing.
I looked back to Alex in astonishment. Or should I say Selena?
Alex
I came out from my hiding spot cautiously. I hadn't heard Mitchie move for a few minutes and I wanted to investigate. I looked over the bed to see her staring at something. I tried to look at it but whatever it was hurt my eyes to look at. I looked away and buried my head in Mitchie's pillow trying to get my sight back. Why was she staring at it? Doesn't it hurt her too? I wanted her to stop it because I liked it when she was talking to me and I felt a bit sad when she wasn't paying attention to me anymore. It was then I smelt something. Like last night but different. The smell wafted up from downstairs. I looked back to Mitchie trying not to look at whatever that horrible thing was. She was still absorbed in it. I decided to go find out what the smell is. I got off the bed and made my way out into the hallway. I went up reluctantly to the 'stairs' as Mitchie had called them. I didn't like walking on them. They weren't level. I looked at the wood next to it and admired the smoothness of it. I felt it a little before I got an idea. I climbed up onto it and pushed off. Soon I was gliding down to the other floor and before I could do anything, I hit the end and in a panic, reached out to catch something. Before I knew it, I was hanging upside down on the lower ceiling. I looked down to and realized I wasn't going to fall. This is so cool! I hesitantly let go with my hands and found that I was still hanging. I smiled and started crawling around on it, loving the way it felt. I went into the main room via ceiling and was surprised to find someone I'd never seen before. He was going through some stuff on the table and he was making a mess. I remembered what Mitchie had told me about messes. That I wasn't to make them. So why is this guy doing that? I moved over so that I was right above him and stood up, still hanging.
My face came down in front of his and he jumped back once he saw me.
"What are you doing?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, uh nothing. I was just..." He looked at the papers scattered on the table. "I got some of your mail by mistake and I was just returning it" He told me and I raised my eyebrow.
"Mail?" I asked.
"Yes mail. Now how are you doing that?" He inquired.
"Doing what?" I asked and he gestured toward my feet.
"Oh, I don't really-" I was cut off when his fist met my face and I fell to the ground in pain. The man got up and ran for a door. I was hurt, shocked and angry but either way, I wanted to know why he did that, so I rushed to the door and got there super fast. He was looking behind him and then turned to see me and his jaw dropped.
"That hurt!" I accused him rubbing my jaw where he had hit me. I brought my hand back and slapped him. He brought his hand to his cheek before he tackled me to the ground. We rolled around a bit hitting random things. I found myself under him and he brought his fist back and punched me again. I felt tears well in my eyes from the pain. I wanted to stop him but then he just kept doing it. I struggled for a bit with my eyes shut while I was crying. Suddenly I felt him get off. I slowly opened my eyes to find him against a wall that Mitchie was holding him against. She had something shiny and she was pressing it to his neck. She said something before gesturing to the door. He nodded quickly and started heading out while she kept the shiny object pointed towards him in a threatening manor. He opened the door and started running when I heard something blaring from outside and red and blue lights flashed on the walls. I let out a small scream before burying my head into my arms. Soon I felt someone's arms wrap around me and I looked up to see Mitchie watching me worriedly. I got up from my position and hugged her tightly. I heard her sigh before she started running her hand through my hair. It wasn't long till I found myself drifting off to sleep.


again, I apologize for this chapter but I guess you could say its kind of important. Also, Im gonna try to cut back on the italics because of the new upgrade that I personally hate on the mobile fanfiction. I can't read italics on it anymore because of the weird formatting.
