!#$& Wake me up When September Ends &$#!
(a/n. I am sad to say that this story is coming to an end. I think about 3-5 more chapters should do it. I already have the ending ones because I know exactly how I want this to end. I just don't know how many more chapters is going to take to get to that chapter so. EnJoY.)
Summer has come and past
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
7 years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
"Finally there's band practice again" Michelle said. Walking into Dewey's apartment the Saturday after Freddy and Eleni got back from their trip. They hadn't been able to stay as long as they hoped. For one the band needed them back. And for two, Katie still hadn't called Freddy back and he was worried sick.
About an hour after practice was suppose to start, Michelle yelled at Dewey to stop everyone. "Dewey I know you said Katie is late sometimes, but she's never this late. Its been an hour. Im gonna call her mother." "Okay you do that, but she's probably just sick." "Im still calling." Michelle said, walking into the kitchen.
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forget what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Michelle walked pack into the room where the band was, looking panic-stricken yet, trying to hold herself together. "Dewey." She said really low, but if anyone saw her face, they knew it was ment to be a yell. "Dewey" She said again more firmly. Instead of getting Dewey's attettion, she got Alicia's. "What's wrong?" Alicia mouthed. It wasn't her turn to sing yet, Zack's guitar solo was now. "Get Dewey" Michelle said in the same voice she used before. "DEWEY!!!" Alicia shouted through the microphone. "OW!" Was Dewey's reply. "Dewey something's wrong with Michelle."
Summer has come and past
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Dewey motioned for everyone to stop playing. "What is it NOW Michelle." He replied, acting as though she interrupted him to tell him that his house was a mess. "It-it was Katie's mother im sure it was, it was the right number I dialed it twice. Its on speed dial." "What are you babbling about" Dewey was still pissed she interrupted practice. "Dewey, its Katie. I called her house" She said, pulling herself back together with every word. "I- I called her house. Im sure it was hers, ive been calling the same number everyday since I was four. And her mother answered. I knew it was her mother, it sounds like her mother. But when I called her mother just kept saying. 'Stop calling here, stop calling here I don't know anyone named Katie, theres no one here by Katie' but she was crying to" Michelle said now starting to cry. "Yeah, I got the same thing everytime I called her house. Her mother is a bitch holy shit, does she not know she named her daughter Katie?" Freddy said. "Freddy, you dimwit, she's not a bitch, she's upset. And I know something happened to Katie, that's why her mothers crying. I am going to figure it out, is anyone coming with me?"

Wake me up, when September ends.
The whole band walked out into the cold October air. Dewey kept shouting behind them to come back. He still wanted practice, and to look for Katie later. No one agreed and so, the kids were outside by themselves trying to find out what happened to Katie. "So Michelle you came up with the plan, what do we do?" Zack asked, wanting to get right to the point. He was very cold and him and Eleni were going to go get coffee at the local starbucks after this. "Well first I thought we'd pay a little visit to her mother. She didn't move. I live right next to her I would have seen the truck. So she might have changed her number but that's it." "Okay then lets go." About a half an hour later, they all got to Katie's house. 'knock knock knock' Each band member pounded once on the door.
Katie's mother answered the door. "Hello?" She said. It was very muffled and incoherent considering she'd been crying for the past couple of days. "Hello Mrs. Brown. I'm Michelle Green. And these are all of Katie's friends, we were wondering if we could talk to you for a while." "THERE IS NO KATIE HERE!" And Mrs. Brown slammed the door and all the kids heard her cry even louder. "Great, just great! Her own MOTHER! Wont even talk about her what are we gonna do." Michelle had already answered his question without him realizing it first. 'Knock knock knock' Everyone looked up and saw Michelle pounding on the door. "I said there was no Katie here now can you please leave?" "NO! I cannot leave because I know you are lying. True she might not be here but please tell us where she is and don't give us that bullshit that you don't know her because I have lived next-door to you all my life and I used to come here and play with Katie and you were here!" "Fine, fine! It is all true, come inside!"

The band made themselves comfortable as Mrs. Brown directed them to as she made them hot chocolate. When she served everyone she quietly said. "Please do any of you know where my baby is" She looked really hopeful. "Uhm, we're sorry Mrs. Brown, we don't know where Katie is, we were wondering if you knew where she was. Did she mention going anywhere?" "Yes, yes. She mentioned going out with friends from work. And then she called me, and she was in trouble its on my answering machine if any of you would like to listen to it, I picked up the phone too late." "Oh that would be great" Michelle answered. They all walked over with Mrs. Brown to her answering machine. Here you go.

"Mom, Mom are you there?"
"Yes, im here whats wrong?"
"There's someone chasing me and I don't know who it is, mom you have to help me" Katie started crying frantically.
"Sweetie, where are you. I'll come I just need to know where you are," Everyone looked to Mrs. Brown who had new tears rolling down her eyes.
"I, I'm two blocks away from Freddy's. Please mom their catching up to me"
"Sweetheart im comm.-"
"Mom. Help they have me there" At that point the phone went dead.
"Oh my god! That's so horrible. I am soo sorry Mrs. Brown. But we have some news that might cheer you up." "Whats that." "We're all going to go out and find Katie, no matter how long it takes." "Oh thank you, the police said they couldn't do anything because they think im lying. Oh please find my Katie" "Don't worry we will" The band left to go check everyone who could be a suspect. Greenwood wasn't a very big city. Everyone knew everyone else. Usually there weren't any problems but sometimes things just happen.
