Chapter 7: Wandering

My mother had completely dissappeared. I snuggled closer to Sam. He wrapped his arms around me. This was horrible. Caroline and her mother were speaking to eachother, hut all I heard were low murmurs in the background. We were back in the car, driving, looking. I really doubted that she would just be wandering the streets alone when it was dark outside, but who knows? Not me, obviously.
"Girls go to sleep." I sighed. It was midnight and I knew that I wouldn't have one of those dreamless nights again. I sighed once more, laid my head on Sam's shoulder, and drifted off to sleep. I had a third dream. It was my mother she was looking for my dad. Se started to run and I called after her, but she didn't stop. Just kept on going. I woke up then with a jolt.
"Good morning, love." Sam said. A felling coursed through me when he said love. I smiled brightly.
Nothing really happened that day. Really we just drove around. We didn't exactly have anywhere to go. I was very bored. I was glad when Caroline's mom said that it was time to go to sleep. I had the strangest dream that I have ever had. Of course, my mom was there, but she was holding a strange little book. She... was writing something in it, but I didn't know what. Was I getting pieces to the puzzle? Was I the secret conection to my mother, to the truth?
