Avrils P.O.V
It has been eight weeks since I've seen Melissa, I was sitting on my bed scrolling through my Photo Gallery on my phone. We took lots of selfies together, and I mean lots of selfies. I stop scrolling on a picture of Melissa by herself, I never actually knew that was in there... she must've took it while I wasn't looking by-the-looks-of-it. I think back to the day when Melissa disappeared out of my arms after the incident. According to my mother, the police have been investigating the scene, drops of blood but no Melissa they said. I told them that she just disappeared out of thin air, just like that. Mum said that I didn't have to go to school, but that would mean a lot of catching up to do.
I really miss you, Melissa, I think, Please come back...
I clasped my phone with Melissa's picture close to my chest, a tear rolling down my cheek. I hear a knock on my door and look up to see Mum looking towards me.
"Avril?" She spoke carefully, afraid that she would upset me, "Can I come in? You haven't eaten since last nights dinner."
"Bad time, Mum. Melissa and I are busy." I say referring to my phone with my eyes closed, more tears roles down my cheeks.
Once I re-opened my eyes to see the most sympathetic look in my mothers eyes, "Honey, I need to talk to you."
"What is there to talk about anymore..?" I say, covering my eyes with my hands as I sob continuously. I could hear Mum walk over to me and sit on my bed which made me bounce. She wraps both of her arms around me and hugs me.
"Sweetheart, you need to stop this, I don't want this happening again." Mum says, referring to when Dad died two-years-ago. It made me not come out of my room for two days because of it, we were so close... I don't want Melissa to be cut from my life, "You are worrying your own family."
"It's still my fault that Melissa's gone, she said that she had homework to do, but I insisted on going riding that day.." I shake, which makes Mum hold onto me even more.
"No, no it's not. You couldn't control what had happened." Mum says as she rocks me back and forth, child at heart I am.
"Well how can you explain how the hell she disappeared then?" I almost screamed, but being the caring mother she is, she cooed me and settled me down.
"That's one thing that I can't answer, Honey."
