YAY! 2nd update in 24 hours! haha.

2019

It's been 10 years, 5 months and 2 days since i got the call that Mitchie was missing. 10 frickin' long years, 5 frickin' months and 2 days. But who's counting? I want so bad to be mad at her, for leaving without a trace. But I couldn't. I loved her too much.

I'd hired a private investigator, and told him to search every lead he got. He came up empty, and I told him to try again. And again, and again and again. Still nothing. Then, when I graduated from college, I did the unthinkable. To celebrate my new freedom and maturity, I gave up the search. I decided that I'd been searching long enough and if she'd wanted to be found, she would have turned up by now.

Now I was just about to turn 29, which meant that she was about 26 or 27. I was living just outside New York City, with a job as a musical producer for Broadway shows. I recently had a small reunion with Lola, when she was chosen to star in a musical I was working on.

Now, with the day almost over, I was heading back home. I turned the corner onto my street... and promptly walked into a woman. The bags she had been carrying fell, and her groceries spilled out, and the stroller she'd been pushing almost rolled into the street. I caught the handle of it just in time.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" she said.

"It's okay," I said. "It was my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going. Here, let me help you with those." I started picking up things that had fallen on the ground.

"Thanks," she said. I looked up to see who I was helping.

She had straight brown hair that hung just below her shoulders, and bangs that fell haphazardly in her eyes. Her eyes were a dark brown that seemed to look right past you and into your soul, and her lips were pale pink and twisted up into a small smile. I saw all of this, but I didn't need to. I'd recognize her anywhere.

"Mitchie?"

Okay, okay, I know, it's a short chapter. But I felt like being evil and leaving you with a cliffhanger. besides, I'll probably update either tomorrow or the day after. Or maybe I'll be evil again and not update till next week.... it all depends on the reviews!
