Trina's POV

I woke up the next morning at 6:20. I got up and immediately hopped in the shower. I normally get in later since Tori is usually in at that time, but she was still asleep. At least I assumed she was; her door was closed and I wasn't hearing any noise in her room.

I was dressed and ready by 7:15. That's a record for me honestly. People probably think it's easy to look as pretty as me, but they have no idea what they're talking about. It's hard to look as good as I do every single day. No one understands what I go through to look as great as me. I guess my incredible talent was just a bonus.

"Good morning, my beautiful parents!" I announced when I came down the stairs. I'd been in such a good mood lately. I couldn't believe I was graduating on Friday.

My parents looked at me from the kitchen. My dad smiled and my mom giggled. "Hello there, Trina," she said. "You hungry?"

"Starving," I said and sat at the table.

"Where's Tori?" asked Dad.

"Still asleep," I told him.

"Still?" he said and I nodded. "Dang, I hope she's okay. Will you go wake her up, Trina?"

I groaned and said, "Why me?"

"Because she's your sister and because I said so." he told me. "Now please just go wake her up right now or she's gonna be late."

"Ugh, fine!" I said and got up and headed up the stairs. I went to her room and knocked on the door. "Tori, wake up!" I didn't hear a thing behind the door. I groaned loudly and banged on the door. "Tori, if you don't wake up now, you're gonna be late! Stop being so lazy!" I still didn't hear a thing. "Tori!" I screamed and threw the door open.

I was shocked to see that she wasn't in bed. I looked around the room. "Tori?" I walked up to the bed and pushed the covers all the way back to make sure she wasn't hiding. There was no one there. I turned around and looked around her room some more. "Tori?" I went to her closet and opened the door. "Tori, if you're hiding in your closet, that's pretty messed up." I pushed back her clothes and looked on the ground. Nothing there except for her shoes.

"Hmm," I said and walked down the hall. I walked into my room and looked around. "Tori, you better not be in my room." I looked all around and even under my bed and in my closet. She wasn't there. Then I went to the bathroom and no one was there. I sighed and went downstairs. "I couldn't find her." I said halfway down the stairs.

My parents both turned to me. My mom said, "What do you mean you can't find her?"

"It means what it means, Mom." I said. "I can't find her. She's not in her room, my room, or the bathroom."

My parents exchanged nervous glances. "You don't think anything could have happened to her?" asked my mom nervously.

"Okay, let's not panic." said my dad as calmly as possible. "Let's just look around some more. I'm sure she's around her somewhere." We broke up and searched the whole entire house and even outside. When we met up in the kitchen ten minutes later, still no luck. We didn't have a clue as to where she was.

My mom was starting to look really worried and my dad was getting anxious. "Call 911," said my mom. "She's not here."

"Okay, look, what are the odds that someone came in this house and took her?" said my dad. He was trying to act calm, but I could tell he was freaking out on the inside. He was just trying to be the voice of reason. "It's rare that something like this happens. She's probably…she might just be at school already."

I pulled my phone out and saw the time. "Dad, come on," I said. "It's barely 7:30. She never goes to school this early."

"Try calling her!" exclaimed my mom.

I shook my head. "I saw her phone in her room."

They both groaned. "Well…" said my dad after a while. "Do you think…that she could have run away?"

"No!" I exclaimed. "She was happy. There would be no reason for her to run away. And besides…all of her clothes were in her closet. If she ran away, she would have grabbed clothes, but there weren't any missing."

"Well…has she gotten a new boyfriend recently?" he asked.

I was about to say no, but I remembered something from the night before. Andre and Tori were standing in the kitchen making out. I wasn't sure if they were dating or not, but I still brought it up. "Well…last night, I saw her and Andre kissing. I don't know if they're actually boyfriend girlfriend, but I definitely saw them kissing."

My parents just stood there and thought about that for a moment. Then my mom's eyes lit up and she said, "You know…Tori did look really giddy and happy last night after Andre left." Her eyes widened. "Call him! Maybe he knows something!"

"Okay," I said and immediately called Andre.

"Hello?" he said after the third ring.

"Andre, hey, it's Trina." I started off. "Listen, have you seen Tori? My parents and I have looked everywhere and we can't find her. Is she with you?"

"Uh…no, I haven't seen her." he said. He gulped and said, "What's going on?"

"We don't know where Tori is." I told him. "And we're trying to figure out where she could be." I sighed shakily and ran my hand through my hair. "Did she talk to you about running away or anything like that?"

"No, she didn't tell me anything." said Andre. "But I don't think Tori would run away. She was really happy with her life and besides, she's not the kind of girl to run away from something." I could already tell that Andre was telling the truth. Just by the sound of his voice, he was terrified.

I bit my lip. I was suddenly scared for my sister's life. "Then you know what this means, right?"

"What?"
"That if Tori didn't run away and no one knows where she is, then someone came into our house last night and kidnapped her!" At my words, my parents looked at me in a panic.

"That can't be the case!" he exclaimed. It sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than me. "There's no way she was taken. Are you sure your whole house has been searched?"

"Yes," I told him. "Me and my parents looked around the whole house and even outside. She was nowhere."

"What about her phone?" he said quickly. "Have you tried calling her?"

"Her phone's in her room; wouldn't do any good calling it," I said.

"Oh, my gosh, okay, um…" He sighed shakily. "Just…if you haven't done it already, call the police. Let me know how it goes." He was so shook up, I could tell.

"Okay, bye, Andre," I said and hung up. I looked up at my parents. "Call the police now."

My dad ran in the kitchen and grabbed the house phone. He dialed 911 and held it to his ear. After a couple of seconds, he was talking. "Yeah, I'd like to report a missing teenage girl." He closed his eyes and sighed heavily. "She's my daughter."

…..

It was thirty minutes later and our house was crawling with people. It was filled with family, police officers, and detectives. While my parents were being questioned in the kitchen, I went upstairs. I had to push past a bunch of people to get to my room.

I closed and locked my door. I looked around my room for a minute and then ran to my bedside table. I opened the bottom drawer and found an old photo album. I grabbed it and sat on the floor. I flipped through it until I finally found the picture I was looking for: the one from my birthday where Tori is sitting in my lap and our arms are around each other. I put my hand on the picture and rubbed my finger over her face. I didn't realize I was crying until a tear slid down my cheek.

"Please let them find you, baby sis," I whispered. "Please…"
