Well I've got some good news and bad news. The good news is I've been accepted into the varsity tennis team at my high school. The bad news is this means I'll be having practice five days a week so I'll have less time to update. Sorry.

Chapter 3

Ignored?

Kyle woke up to find that he was in his room. 'That's weird I don't remember going to bed,' he thought to himself. He then realized that he wasn't in his bed but on the floor in the middle of the room. Kyle stood up and saw that he wasn't in his pajamas but in his normal clothes and jacket and his hat of course.

Kyle went over to his bedroom window and looked outside. He saw that it was night and snow was coming down hard. He then glanced at the alarm clock by his bed to see that it was eight o'clock. This really confused Kyle. Why was he just unconscious on the floor much earlier than he ever went to bed?

Deciding that he may get an answer from his parents Kyle left his room and went downstairs. His parents were sitting on the couch watching TV while Ike was sitting on the floor nearby playing with blocks.

"Hey Mom and Dad," he said casually.

His parents didn't respond so Kyle spoke a little louder. "Do either of you know why I was unconscious on my bedroom floor? Was I sick or something?".

Kyle's parents still didn't respond to him. Sheila glanced over at the window and said to Gerald. "I hope that Kyle and his friends are at Stan's house now. They shouldn't be out in this terrible weather".

This made Kyle really annoyed. Why were they ignoring him? He walked over and stood in front of the TV. "I'm not at Stan's house I'm right here!".

Kyle's parents continued to watch TV as if Kyle wasn't even there and they could see right through him. "This isn't funny you guys, stop ignoring me!".

Still not getting any response from his parents Kyle walked over to Ike. "Ike why are Mom and Dad ignoring me?".

Ike didn't look at his brother but just kept on playing with his blocks. "Ike? Ike!" Kyle said while waving a hand in front of Ike's face. Finally Ike looked up but not at Kyle but at his mother. "Mommy where Kyle?" he asked.

"He's at a friend's house sweetie," Sheila replied.

"God damn it stop pretending like I'm not here!" Kyle shouted.

He then tried to tap Ike on his shoulder but to his complete surprise his hand went right through his baby brother not touching him at all. Kyle pulled his hand away from Ike and stared at it shocked.

At that moment the phone rang and Sheila got up to answer it.

"Hello? Oh hi Sharon. Kyle is what?! Of course, we'll leave right now," Sheila then hung up the phone and walked over and picked up Ike. "Gerald get your coat and call the police. Sharon told me that Kyle's gone missing".

Kyle's father looked very surprised and worried as he went over to the phone to call the police for help. Kyle could only stand there on the spot and stare at his family as they quickly got their coats on and hurried out the door leaving Kyle alone.

I hope it didn't seem rushed like the last chapter kinda was. Anyway did you like it?
