Chapter 1: I woke up to the birds chirping and the sound of my dad on the lawn mower. I didnt want to get up, it was a saturday and I just wanted to sleep. My comforter was so warm. All of a sudden I heard, “Maisie Parker get your butt down here! your breakfast is getting cold.” Processing her words into my brain……. Breakfast was all I got out of that whole sentence, processing……...PANCAKES!!!! I flew out of my bed so fast, realizing i had my most embarrassing barbie doll pajamas on I changed as quick as I Could in to my regular clothes. My dark jeans, bootcut to be exact and my navy blue polka dot white t-shirt that i wore all the time. My long brown hair cascaded down to my waist almost. I was growing it out so I could donate to locks of love. I started my sprint down the hallway upstairs and finally reached the top of the staircase i started going two steps at a time. I totally almost biffed it coming down the stairs. My feet made the stairs creak and rumble. BOOM BOOM BOOM. When I Got downstairs my mother had just started cooking the bacon. “Did you hear the stampede to?” my mother said with a quick smile. I laughed and stuck out my tongue and her and sat down on the wooden chair. Pancakes, they just sat there on that plate and mocked me. “instead of sitting there and drooling you could get off your butt and get a plate.” said my mother I did as I was told and I got out of the chair and stumbled over to the cabinet. One of the hinges red and rusted so when I opened the cabinet it creaked. I opened the cabinet, grabbed a bright orange plastic plate and returned to my wooden chair. I held the fork in my hand and I sat and stared at that beautiful stack of magic. mom put the syrup on the table and I grabbed it and pulled it closer to me. I grabbed a pancake and I drowned it in syrup. I cut off a piece of my pancake in that (what my mother calls fake) sugar-ie, thick greatness. Than I heard the scream.
Chapter 2:
This morning, I should have stayed asleep. When me and my mother heard that hair raising scream we both looked at eachother then bolted out the door as fast as our feet could carry us. I didn't have shoes on but I knew I wouldn't step on anything as we hurled ourselves over the stairs, out the door and onto the lawn. The soft green grass made me feel like I was running on pillows. Finally looking up I saw my mother on the ground already. Than I realized she was holding my father in her arms. I heard the lawn mower still running. My mother was now crying and screaming “come on please...Please!” I didn't know what to do. I was in shock but I Pulled it together. what do I do? What do I do? Than I got it! I bolted forward as fast as I could run. Up a stair than skipping two, up another stair and completely flying over the last one. I ran into the entryway and into the kitchen, my pancakes still sitting there. I quickly passed my mother’s room and I got to the long hallway. Short turn and right into the living room. I was going so fast I went to flip the light switch and missed. Turning around so quickly, I tripped over my own feet. Getting up I flipped the switch on. The room lit up almost as bright as it was outside. I grabbed the phone, my hands were trembling so bad but I held the phone with a tight grip in my right hand. With my left hand I pointed with my pointer finger towards the phone. I had never called 911 before! what was this going to be like?!? No time to think! I held my breath and dialed 9-1-1. The phone didn’t ring for more than 3 seconds “hello what’s your emergency?” I didn't know what to do and I didn't know what to say “hello what’s your name” Umm Uhh “Maisie… Maisie parker” “ok maisy how old are you” I replied with “13” “ok” she said surprisingly very calm. “ok Maisey can you give the phone to your mom or dad?” “umm I can't do that” She said “ok Maisey what's the emergency” “I don't know” I said with a quieter tone. My dad was on the lawn mower and we heard him scream so we went outside. I didn’t even see him before my mom got down onto her knees then I knew something was wrong and I freaked out and called you!” then she asked “can you go outside with the phone” I said “ok” and ran as fast as I could until I got outside again flying over all of the steps and landed again on the soft green grass. I was surprised to see my mother next to my father holding his hand, He was unconscious, with a terrified look in her eyes. She was rocking back and forth on her knees. She was crying and screaming out “No” “No” I went to her and saw why she had the terrified look on her face. My father lying there with one hand in my mother's hand.His other hand was under the lawn mower.
Chapter 3:I’ve always loved car rides, but the car ride in the ambulance was horrible. After I saw what my mother had been looking at I was completely in a trance. I broke back to the real world when the lady on the phone said “Maisey can you tell me whats going on?” I told her my father was under the lawn mower. She told me to stay on the phone and to not hang up no matter what. So I talked to her. She asked stuff like “what's your favorite color and what's your favorite holiday. I asked her why I couldn’t hang up and she said the police and ambulance where coming. I have only seen an ambulance once and that was at a football game. They didn’t do anything, nobody got hurt. The whole time I was outside my mother just cried. Louder than ever before. Every second I had to sit there and listen to this lady and answer her stupid questions felt like a year. Just sitting there feeling useless. finally, I heard sirens! It’s like they were telling the world “get out of my way!” they pulled into the driveway. The police cars weren't here yet. When I heard the car doors slam I looked up to see one lady had gotten out of the ambulance and rushed over to my mother. I dropped the phone forgetting all about it. She grabbed her hand. She let her over to the van just as two men got out of the back of the van with a very large crate which almost looked like a tool box. They went straight to work with my dad and the lady with my mom was asking my mother questions. Questions like, “what happened?” “My daughter and I were inside when we heard him scream.” my mother said never looking the ambulance lady in the face. Than she went back into the truck and came back out within a couple of seconds. With her were a bundle of forms. My mother reached out to grab them and the lady shook her head and kept walking towards me. “they aren't for you.” She eventually reached me and handed me a stack of papers. She told me to take my time and to fill out what I knew and the rest to leave blank. She told me not to talk to my mother about any of the papers. She then handed me a bright blue pen with WEST WHITINGS HOSPITAL OFF OF EXIT 48. I grabbed it from her and as she walked toward the men by the lawn mower I looked down the piling heap of papers lying on the grass. I forced myself not to look at what they were doing to my father. But I Had to, just a glimpse. What I saw turned me inside out. The two men were pulling the lawn mower apart. Piece by piece they broke away and threw to the side. My father still unconscious and his right arm still under the lawn mower, there was blood everywhere! It was all over the lawn mower all over the two men and now the woman, it was all over the ground and it was covering my father.I didn’t want to look at it anymore, I didn’t want to think about it. I went back to my papers. Question #1 do you have any at-home problems? on the short line I wrote nice and big N-O. I quickly sighed,ok question #2 have you ever had any disabilities caused by family members N-O. #3 Any mental issues to you or any other family member? N-O. # 4 Do you have a therapist or a counselor you go to? N-O. #5 Are your parents divorced N-O. ok ,thank goodness I thought to myself, last question. Have you seen any mysterious people around your house lately. I thought long and hard about this question. I thought it was kinda a stupid one but I left it blank because i didn’t have the slightest clue as of what they meant. I brought the lady back the papers and watched as she was working on my father but I just decided to get out of their way. Just as I turned around to go by my mother the men yelled to the woman “get the gurney!” Although she was right in front of them. She did as she was told and ran to the truck giving me a clear view to where the men and my father were. They had gotten the last piece of the mower off and he was now free from that evil contraption. I saw something that will haunt me forever, my father lay there still unconscious with nothing but blood and shredded flesh for what we would think was were a humans hand is supposed to be. He had nothing but a stub of flesh, blood and bone. I turned and puked, I puked like I have never befor. Suddenly I felt a hand on my back, it was my mother she very surprisingly had a gentle, calm tone. She said lets go and she walked me over to the ambulance and lifted me into the massive truck. I immediately noticed that my father was coming toward the truck on the already soaked with blood gurney. “he’s losing blood fast!” The man yelled as he lifted one end of the gurney up while the other man lifted the other end of it into the truck. Than my mother got in last and sat down next to my on the red leather seats. The door slammed and it was just me, mom , dad and one of the two men. He leaned over closer to us. “Everything is going to be ok,” For a quick second I got a hint of hope But when the truck started and we felt the truck jerk forward I knew that this small spark of hope would be burnt out faster than I would ever know. Than all of a sudden, everything I’ve ever dreamed about or wished on was in no compare to what I wanted right now. I just wanted everything to go back to normal. But this was just the beginning. I knew things were just going to get worse. And 5 minutes later, I was right.
Chapter 4:The road was bumpy and jaggedy on our long journey down the road on our way to the highway. I watched the gurney with my unconscious father outspread acrossed it. I didn’t want to look at him. I got up and I sat down closer to my mother than I was before. She had her head in her hands and she was bent over far enough to her knees to where I couldn’t see her face. I knew she was still crying by the way her back went up then slowly quivered down. I wanted to say something but I couldn’t find the right words so I just sat down in the empty space between my mother and and the door. Than l everyone jerked forward just a little, we were now on the highway. I could tell just by looking out the window. I watched the little yellow lines as they flew past the window. I saw the big blue sign that stated WEST WHITINGS HOSPITAL NEXT EXIT. Than the lady from driving yelled back to the man sitting across from me and my mother “Tom get ready to get out… I just called Jerry and they have a room ready and we gotta get him in there as soon as were there! Just incase you get nerved-out you know that Adam has done this kind of thing before so you can just ask him to take care of it. He knows what to do and he’ll get the job done” the man sitting across from us yelled back with full force “do you think I’m stupid? I know what my job is so dont you dare go off telling me how to do it!” My mother raised her head for the first time, She mumbled something then said “where are we?” The man sitting across us stated almost yelling “hospital.” The man got up and grabbed the front side of the gurney. His hands gripping it tight, his veins popping out of his skin. His breaths got shorter and his blinking got slower. We felt a quick turn and a yell from one of the people in front “when he’s inside I’ll tell Linda what happened and I’ll fill out the forms you guys work on getting him inside.” Surprisingly there was no smart comeback from the man by us. He was ready to show the lady in the front what he could do, I could tell he was going to take good care of my father. I knew he was going to take good care of him because his eyes never left my fathers. Than the van came to a screeching halt. Many different people came rushing out of the hospital. Many of them in gowns and face masks. The man who was holding my fathers gurney was already yelling out orders to the other men and women. One moment we were in the van but a moment later my and my mother were assisted to the main lobby. We went through the huge automatic sliding doors right on the nurses and doctors heels. Me and my mother were brought to the main desk ,my father was being wheeled away but right before they got him through the door to the emergency room he was consumed by doctors checking him all over I could hear every word they said “where is his other hand?” “we never found it.””he has lost too much blood already!” “get him to surgery!” My focus went back to the lady at the desk who was already talking to my mother. my mother's facial expression told me she wasn’t listening and/or did she care what-so-ever about what she was saying. The woman was fairly skinny and had dark brown short hair, she had blue eyes and was most likely and older woman as she has wrinkles all over her face. The lady was talking about what they were going to do to him and then she said words to my mother that I knew would make my mother hate that lady with everything inside of her. She said “if he dies we are going to need you to understand that we didn’t do this to him.” “this is his fault so whether or not he lives is up to him.” Than just like I knew would happen she exploded. She went from pale and heartbroken to purple in the face and she looked like she was going to put this lady in the emergency room right next to my father. She made sure the whole world know that she was going to get to this lady. “Instead of talking about how my husband is so stupid why don’t you tell me whats going on because your brain must be malfunctioning if you think that all of this is on us, if you think I want to be here in this horrible place listening to you tell me how my husband is going to DIE than excuse me for saying but you should really be taking some of those fancy little meds for the mentally screwed up people like yourself!!!” Some more cursing came mumbling from my mother’s mouth and she went back to the lady. I felt a small smile coming to me but I realized that this was no time to smile. I went back to my pouting face, all frustrated and confused as my mother was she went straight down to business. “the men in the ambulance said that you had some forms you needed me to fill out. The lady still surprised with a blank look on her face, went down under the counter and came up with a packet of papers. If she would have set those papers down on the floor I think It would have been taller than I was. My mother grabbed the packet and asked the lady when we could see my father. She tried to explain to us that it would be quite while before we could see him, “at the least I would say it will be about a week before they even think about letting you into the room with your father.” she sent us into the waiting room to fill out the forms. We were without a car and I could tell that this was the last place that mom wanted to be. Just as I suspected she stated “alright this is bull.” “lets go”
Chapter 5:
She got up from her chair and grabbed my hand. She walked to the lady at the front desk and said “I’ll be back later.” then before the woman could say anything we were out the door.
We didn’t have a ride home but by the looks of it my mother didn’t care. It was starting to rain. Not a thunderstorm kind of rain but more of a drizzle. Than my mother said “I’m cold, I’m wet and i want to be home.” she had no facial expression what-so-ever, Just a blank look of sadness and frustration. We were standing outside hand in hand in the pouring rain just standing there looking ridiculous. Than I saw the black cadillac pull up to where my mother standing. It was going slow enough to where it didn’t splash the small amounts of water on the creases between the sidewalk and the parking lot area. A window started to come down and my mother made eye contact with the person inside. I could see him also, he was a little on the heavy side but he had combed over hair. His hair was dark and wetted down. It looked as if he had been outside for a while because with the amount of rain falling he looked as if he had been doing something for a long time. He wore a navy blue under armour sweatshirt and black basketball shorts. He looked as if he were my dads age. He leaned over to talk to my mother and said with as very gentle but scratchy voice “would you like a ride somewhere?” My mother very politely said no thank you I just called a cab.” I knew she was lying but she didn’t know this man. So the man pulled away and down the road he went. Then my mother said something that almost made me smile “ya today isn’t the kind of day I would want to be kidnaped.” “I’m just joking, something was just a little off about that guy.” I said back “I know” I felt my mother trying to lighten the mood. She didn’t have her phone either. Most likely because we were in such a rush to get to the hospital she forgot to grab it before we left. She said “well we better start walking.” then she sighed and started walking with my hand in hers we walked down the sidewalk. WE got to the exit of the hospital exit and I felt the flashing woosh of the cars flying across the highway. “is it like.. illegal to cross the highway?” I asked with a questioning voice. She answered “yes” then she tightened her grip and said “alright lets go” and we made a sprint to the other side. she quickly caught her breath as I did the same. “now number two.” she started another sprint, I was right on her heels and we reached the other side. She told me we were only like 10 minutes from our house, it made me feel a little better. We started walking down the road when we passed an old house. “nobody has lived there for a really long time.” Then she asked me if i wanted to take a break. I wanted to say yes but i didn’t want to go in that house! but all I could come up with was ok. But then my mother gasped as she saw what I saw. We both saw it at the same time. It was the black cadillac.
Chapter 6:
This isn’t his house, I am sure of it! It can't be.” my mother said as she approached the car. I stayed put, all of a sudden I saw my mother gasp and back away slowly. I walked over to her slowly afraid of what was in the car. Then I saw it, It was the man we had saw but this time he was different. You could see the dark red veins spreading across his face like a rapid disease. His bloodshot eyes stuck out from the sockets that held them. He was so pale he looked as if he were a ghost. He looked possessed by the way he didn’t make eye contact with us. His mouth hung open just enough for saliva to run out all over his cloths. My mother walked to the other side of the vehicle and onto the dead green grass. The grass was a pukey green color and as very unpleasant to look at.This was a sorry excuse for a lawn. This was more of that graveyard kind of place. The scenery brought that horror movie kind of feeling into the air. There was an oak tree that towered over us so high I couldn't see the top. Many branches lay scattered sporadically across the short dead grass. she told me to grab one of the branches on the ground so I did. The random branch I grabbed was a very long and slender branch It looked to be about four and a half feet long. I picked it up, brushed it off and walked back over to my mother who was back by the widow of the car. She was by the window by the passenger side and she reached for the stick I held in my hands. I gave my stick to her and she grasped it tightly with one hand and she fed it through the open space of the car. She fed it through slowly and gently until she was just a couple of inches away from hitting the man. Her hands were shaking but she kept moving her hands further into the car. The look on her face looked like she thought he would wake up and tackle her. She sighed and moved one inch closer until she bumped him with the stick gently. Then in an instant the man was sitting up straight in the car looking at us with though bulging red eyes. He started kicking around like he was contracted with no way out. until he found the car door handle and got out of the car. My mother held up that stick like it was a weapon. she started to put it down when the hulk man suddenly lifted his head and screamed. not just any ordinary scream, This one was one where he lifted his head and released the sick maddened beast inside of him.He looked at us with that rapid dog look in his eyes. Then the hulk man started moving toward us…....
Chapter 7:
The veins across the man's body bulged now more than ever. Now instead of pale and ghostly he was red and steaming with anger. his fists clenched and his triceps looked like one swing from that guy and you wouldn’t be seeing tomorrow. He towered over us. The last time we had seen him he didn’t look so tall but then again he was sitting down in his car. the last time we saw this man he was just a normal guy in a normal world. But now he was like the hulk! His arms and legs bulging with muscle, his face hot and red with hatred. He started yelling and screaming into my mother's face from where he stood, spit flying everywhere. “ you rejected me!” “am I not good enough for you!?” “I couldn’t just give you a ride home!” Than he sat down on the ground and just started to cry. He just sat there as red as an strawberry and just cried. My mother was speechless by the way this man reacted to this specific scenario. This is crazy! Isaid to myself in my head. “Is there anything I can do for you” my mother asked the man on the ground. “I need my medication.” he mumbled. My mother didn’t ask where they were or what they were for. she just walked over to me, grabbed my hand and whispered so softly I could barely hear her “lets go before he gets up again.” then within seconds we were in a dead sprint down the road. We were running as fast as we could not looking back to see if that scary man was behind us. We kept running until I saw the sign. 21 Ave that's my road! I was so excited to be back. I felt like I hadn’t been there for a year! I was so excited I lost myself for a second my feet tripping over themselves. But i stayed up and just kept running. Entering our concrete driveway, sprinting up the wooden stairs, Unlocking the door with the key under the matt and getting to the comforting coziness of my house. The sofa, the TV and my magical, amazing, beautiful, stack of drowned in syrup, stack of pancakes, oh how I missed my pancakes! I walked over to the kitchen table still trying to catch my breath and I grabbed my bright orange plate holding the pancakes and I brought them to the microwave, I clicked 3:00 then clicked start. Waiting for them felt like an eternity. I didn’t know where my mother was but I would find her when I was finished with my pancakes. It was 7:56 and I was ready to eat my pancakes then I was going to talk to my mother but right now my pancakes had to come first. So when I heard the beep of the microwave I quickly grabbed them out of there and with my fork I stuffed them down my throat as fast as they would go. I ate and ate until the pancakes were gone and my plate looked as it did before I put anything on it. Than I got up and put my plate into the sink and started to look for my mother. I hadn’t heard her yet since we’ve been home. I started in the dining room and worked my way back looking in every room in the upstairs. Mothers room, kitchen, dining room, closet, library and entry way. Nothing was found. I started to climb the stairs when I heard the front door of my house open and close. I rushed down the stairs to get outside. Who just exited my house? I thought to myself as I reached the bottom of the staircase. I opened the door just in time to see my mother slowly getting into the car. She was pale and I could tell she was sad and depressed as her actions were slow and effortless. I quickly ran through our lawn and got to the driveway. I grabbed the car door just as she was closing it. “what are you doing?” i asked her with a little more anger in my tone than i intended. With no effort to make an expression what-so-ever she just said “I need to go check on your father.” “well can i come?” i said. she replied with just a simple head nod left to right. “not this time” she said “i need you to stay home. I was confused but she had already pushed my hand off of the car door and she was closing the door. A slam of a car door and she was off to the hospital again. I walked inside of my house and I was going to look for the landline to call my mother so we could talk again because we didn’t really get the chance the last time. I started my search in the kitchen and i was looking on the table and on the counter when i realized something. wow i am such a blonde I thought to myself as i realized that the last time i had the landline was OUTSIDE when i was talking to the 911 lady. When i got outside the phone was right where i left it but when i got to the phone lying on the ground i realized suddenly something that half scared me and half surprised me. The phone was ringing.
Chapter 8:
The phone ringing was disturbing to me because who would be calling me at this hour? it wasn’t my mother. I knew that the last thing she would want to be doing right now is talking to a 13 year old about her husband getting eaten by a lawn mower and a hulk man sicker than a dog, chasing them down the street. so i just picked up the phone with curiosity overcoming my thoughts telling me to not pick up. I picked up the phone not knowing who was going to pick up or what this person was going to say. So I picked it up and clicked the cute little green dot with the word Answer on the bottom, hearing the soft beep i raised the phone to my ear and listened to what noise would come out of that landline. expecting a “hello” or just an “excuse me but could i talk to” But all i heard was air brushing against the other end of the line i was on. Then a scratchy and dark deep booming voice rang through the phone, almost scaring me out of my skin. all the dark mysterious man said was “she is coming.” Then befor i could come out of my state of shock i heard the phone make a double beep sound and the other end was 100% silence. I just did my best to store that info in the back of my brain. I started to dial my mother's phone number as I walked up the stairs and back into my house. When i got inside I walked to my mother's room just as it started to make that buzzing sound the, dial tone. I went straight to my mother's room and laid out spread acrossed her memory foam mattress covered in the softest comforter ever! The phone never leaving my ear, I heard a vibration coming from the kitchen so i got up and walked slowly to the kitchen not knowing what it was. When arriving at the kitchen i looked at the counter where the faint vibration seemed to be coming from. I walked over to the counter and saw a bright pink sparkly phone case. It was my mother's phone ringing. I grabbed the phone from of the counter and clicked answer. Realizing I had just said hello to myself i felt really stupid when the quick rush of confusion hit me. Why would she not bring her phone? she knew i would call her! she never goes anywhere without her phone! I was confused but i just put the home phone down right after i hung up. I went back into my mothers room and I grabbed the grey remote and aimed at the tv. when the tv came to life the news was on, my mother is always watching the news. Something about a dolphin or something. Next channel was family feud, next channel was Liv and Maddie next channel. I just kept flipping through the channels when finally I hit the best tv show ever, cake boss! I love this show so much, Buddy (the owner) is always making these huge cakes and he makes wedding cakes, birthday cakes, party cakes, normal cakes and cupcakes, brownies, rolls, cannolis and biscuits. I am going there one day! I got comfortable in my mothers bed comfortable under all of the blankets and the big fluffed up pillows behind my head, i felt the strain on my legs arms neck and shoulders slowly go away. I looked down at my mothers alarm clock which said very brightly in large red numbers 10:57. I was surprised by the time. I was watching buddy talk about how he was going to make a working foes ball cake when i fell asleep and I dreamt about cake.
Chapter 9:When I woke up the first thing i did was look at the clock to see how long i had slept. the clock read 12:48, I was shocked but despite the amazing length i had slept i had to see if my mother was home yet. I got up from all of the soft warm blankets and i walked out into the kitchen still trying to calibrate so i wouldn't completely bif it and land on my face. when i reached the kitchen i heard nothing but silence. I walked out into the driveway realizing that was the only way i could tell if she was home or not. I walked to the door and opened it feeling the cold door handle. The door wouldn't open so i looked down and saw the door locked. I didn’t lock it last night before i went to bed (woops). I unlocked it and stepped outside to find that it was snowing. The white magnificent beautiful dust covered the ground. Stepping back into the real world i looked to the driveway and there was nothing there but a pillow of snow. No tracks, and no car. So I did what any smart person would have done, I went inside and made pancakes. After i ate my favorite breakfast ever I went back into my mothers room. I have never really had a chance to be in her room by myself and i wanted to explore. I walked in and I went straight to her closet. I found this dress in the middle of the third pile on the second shelf (to be specific) the dress was black but had slashes of color all over it, it looked as if there were neon zebra print all over it. I just had to try it on. Mom isnt here this is my chance to go crazy! I grabbed a pair of her high heels with cheetah print all over. I ran into the bathroom and come out a whole new person. Next came make-up. I went back into the bathroom in my neon covered black mermaid dress and cheetah print high heels and i went into one of the pull out drawers and sure enough there was enough make up there to cover an elephant head to toe! I started, blue eyeshadow up to the top of my forehead, red lipstick covered my lips and purple blush all over from my ears to my nose. next i went into her jewelry box and pulled out the biggest hoop earrings i have ever seen in my life! I went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror and saw the best looking clown ever. I pulled my hair back into a ponytail so i could put the earrings on. I put my earrings on and i let my hair down. I walked into the kitchen where my ipod lay on the counter…….. It was time to take a selfie.
Chapter 10:
I picked up my ipod and i clicked the home button to turn it on. right away the many text messages that have been sent to me were blinking on the screen, one than two then three then four, five, six and they just kept coming. I haven't been on my ipod for 24 hours and i've gotten 13 text messages! i unlocked my ipod and went straight the the camera and took many selfies, of me looking like a clown. Memories were made today i said to myself with a smile on my face. i went back into the bedroom and got dressed into my clothes again and i removed the pounds and pounds of makeup on my face. next i went back to my ipod, grabbed it and went back to my mother's room. I sat on the bed and turned the tv on. I got under the blankets again and turned my ipod. I went straight to my texting app and as i clicked i heard the buzzing sound of another person texting. When the screen finally was on the app i saw my friends had been texting but there were only 13 messages and what about the message i had just received? I scrolled down without even looking at what my friends had said when i saw that the person that texted me wasn't any of my friends, it wouldn't let me see the name of the person until i accepted them as my friend. so I went to the settings and accepted the person. I went back to the texting home screen and i saw the name above the message, It said “hey” thats it. But the name above it was just enough to make my heart skip a beat. Josh Johnson, he was the most popular and cute and……...OMG he's talking to me! I was so surprised, at school i am known as the biggest screw up of this century! Well anyway back to Josh. I told myself over and over don't sound desperate just act natural so I texted “hey” back. Almost immediately “what's up” came to my screen. On the app i have it always said (there name) is typing and right after he said “what's up” it said Josh is typingI was just waiting and waiting for words to pop up on the screen. It felt like an eternity waiting for the boy of my dreams to say something when finally he said “hey what's up with you? I live down the street from you and i know you probably haven't noticed but i see you all the time and this morning i saw an ambulance go by was it going to your house?” I didn’t know what to say! HE LIVES BY ME! I just told myself to act natural. “ya” I said. Josh started to type again and in an instant “why were they there?” than before i was even done reading it he said “is everybody ok? are you ok?” In my heart i was like awww but in real life he just cares about the populars and the pretty ones. i replied with “ya i'm ok but my dad just had a little accident.” He said “glad your ok but what happened?” Again with the awww! but i just said “oh you know the usual dad falling of a lawnmower and getting his hand chewed up in a lawnmower.” I felt tears coming back to my eyes but i just wanted to see what josh would say back. A long period of time went by (30 seconds but it felt like an eternity.) When Josh said “oh my god are you ok? I know that can be hard for some people.” I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t want to sound like a wimp so I tried to think of something to say when Josh texted me and it said “don't worry” i was confused for a second when more words popped up on the screen “dont worry im here for you.” I was like WOAH but i just send a question mark. I felt stupid because he just said something sweet and i acted all stupid. DANG! when I realized he was typing again. He said “I know that this is hard for you and that you feel hurt but i am here for you and i want you to know that I am always here to talk to you if you need someone to talk to.” I said something that i've been thinking about in my head for a while. “since when do you care about me? I mean we never talk to each other and you are always with the popular pretty girls.” I sent it with a smile on my face because it feels good to say that to him because now he knows how EVERY girl that isn't popular or pretty feels! He started typing again and now i made myself look like a jerk. WOW i keep messing up i need to start thinking before i click send although i'm still proud of the last statement although it wasn't so nice. Than i saw what Josh said…. “hey I don't like those girls because they aren't… real and I like a different girl so those girls don't mean anything to me!” I didn’t know what to do or what to say so i did the only thing could think of… change the subject! “do you have facetime” i said and he replied with yes and he asked what mine is so i told him Maisie [email protected] and he said “ok great talk to you in a second. I was like OMG i am going to talk to JOSH face to face OMG OMG OMG ok stay cool maisey i said to myself. Than my facetime alarm went off and I was like ok pick accept or pick decline. I just clicked accept and turned the camera off. Than i SPRINTED to the bathroom and grabbed my hairbrush while it was connecting and i got back to my mother's room before it had fully connected and i ran my hands through my hair and made sure it was perfect. Than i saw his face right in front of me and he looked like….him. His short blonde hair, blue eyes, the way his hair just barely covers the corners of his eyes. TOTALLY PERFECT!!! the screen was dark so i asked the obvious “hey why is it so dark?” and it was quiet until i heard his voice say “i don't know it just is.” his voice was quiet and kind of…. sad. I just said ok to change the subject. Than he said “so whats up.” you know boys they never know what to say so all they ever say is “hey” or “what's up.” But i said “why are you all of a sudden talking to me!? you never talk to me.” he just said nothing. We just sat there in silence until he broke the silence with a sigh and a simple “i don't know” So i decided that i was going to figure this out! So i said “that isn’t an answer” with a smile on my face that he couldn’t see. Then he smiled into the camera and said “are you home alone? i don't hear anybody else.” oh so now he’s changing subject again! “ya i'm home alone” i said “he said the weirdest thing next “so when are your parents coming home?” i said “I don't know it will be a while probably.” He smiled and said “maybe because we live by each other and we can just hang out for a while?” I was surprised at what he said and i was overwhelmed so i muted it so he couldn’t hear me and i screamed as loud as i could “OH MY GOD HES COMING OVER!!! I unmuted it and very calmly said “Sure” trying to hold in another scream.” then he said “ok” and he said “talk to you in 5” and he hung up. Oh……. My…….. God!Chapter 11:I was in shock! A boy……. at my house! My house was clean and there was nothing to clean….. Except me! I forgot all about my regular jeans and polka dot shirt! I needed to look….. Not poor! So i ran up the stairs to my room and grabbed the handle to the closet and flung the door open and looked for cute clothes than i saw my nike shoes that i have never worn before because i was going to be in basketball but dropped out and now i have the coolest basketball shoes ever! they are black and they have pink laces and shredded design on the sides. I had to find jeans and a shirt first! so I grabbed my favorite boot cut jeans and i put them on and i grabbed a regular black T-shirt that said in huge white letters I AIN'T CRAY-Z! I sat down on the floor and put my AWESOME shoes and I ran to the hallway in between the stairs and my room and i stopped at the hexagon shaped window on the wall, I scanned the road down and up again to see if i could see Josh yet but i didn’t see him…. major relief! I flew down the stairs two at a time and raced to my mother's room and grabbed my hairbrush, ripping through my hair to make it soft and straight. I wa ready for him to get here, Maisey Parker don't you dare do anything stupid! I said to myself. I was just standing there in my mother's room when i heard a loud and annoying ring coming from the kitchen so i took my time getting there still thinking about Josh and i picked up the phone and clicked the green answer button. “Hello?” I said into the phone. “yes hello is this Maisey?” It was definitely a lady talking because it was light but high pitched voice and it was scratchy and proper “Yes it is” i responded. I heard a rustling on the other end then i heard a familiar voice, “Maisey is that you? are you ok? Im sorry im still here its just your father is in poor condition and i need to be here for a while.” It was my mother! “Mom how are you calling me you left your phone here! When are you coming home?” there was a short pause and i heard the lady with the soft annoying voice talking but i couldn't make out what she was saying, i heard my mother talking back but all i could hear were mumbles. the only thing i hard out of all of the mumbles was “there is no way i can tell her, when suddenly my mother said “maisey its going to be a long time you're probably on your own tonight again i'm sorry.” then there was silence and in an instant a recorded voice said “this call has been ended. I was like really mom thanks for helping. wait, I have school tomorrow! I put the phone down and I just stood there when suddenly i heard the doorbell.
Chapter 12:I heard the doorbell and my heart skipped a beat, ITS JOSH!! I made sure my shoes were tied and my shirt was straight and i ran my fingers through my hair, i took a deep breath and i started walking towards door, every step i took it felt like i was getting FURTHER away from the door. When i reached the door i thought “now is my chance! i can still run to the back room and jump out the window and save myself the embarrassment of looking stupid in front of josh. But instead I reached out and latched my hands around the door knob, i turned it and opened the door to let josh in. When i saw him standing there i was like woah but i tried to keep that to myself, He had his hands in his pockets and he had a backpack was wearing a neon blue Old Navy shirt and guess what!?! He was wearing really cool basketball shoes to! I stood there admiring his perfection when i realized i looked like a moron just standing there so I said “hey come on in.” He lifted his head, did a cool hairflip thing to get his hair out of his eyes. he smiled and walked inside and immediately went to the living room and he just sat down on the couch like he owned the place. “would you like anything to drink?” I asked. he shook his head no and he reached for his backpack. he hasn't said anything yet is something wrong? i thought to myself trying my best to figure it out, Then I heard Josh start to talk “hey so whats up with your parents? why aren't they here?” then i said “ya my dad is in the hospital and my mom has to stay there with him so ya…..” He looked at me and smiled and asked “are you ok? that is a lot to go through.” “ya i know but i'll be fine.” i said. “when are they coming back?” he said with his smile fading. “My mom called right before you showed up and she told me that she would be at the hospital all night tonight and probably for a while after that so im kinda on my own.” He wa still digging around in his backpack looking for something then he said “So you're going to school by yourself and then you just kinda……. own this house?” “ya kinda” i said. Then he said “Hey do you want me to come by here later tomorrow and pick you up before school and we could just walk there together? I just dont want you to walk by yourself.” wow i never really thought about how i was getting to school. “that would be great” i said. He pulled his hands out of his backpack and with it came a big bulky camera. It looked really fancy and it had a huge lense. “Whats that for?” i asked. He said “I'm in photography and i have to take nature pictures or whatever so I was thinking maybe we could walk around the neighborhood and take a couple pics?” I thought that was a great idea so without even saying anything i got up and started walking towards the front door “K lets go.”
Chapter 13: Josh go up and came to the door holding his HUGE camera and i opened the door and we walked outside together. The sun up and the birds chirping it was a perfect day to take some pictures. We started walking down the road and there were a couple trees scattered around and maybe a few flowers here and there but nothing that exciting so we kept walking not saying a word to each other. We started walking down the road until we got to a road that had a huge sign in front of it WELCOME TO GEORGIA PINE CHURCH. There was a hill down on the other side of the park, I used to play down there and there was a huge park right beside it but the park never did interest me because there weren't and slides & swings or even monkeybars. “Hey Josh why don't we go down to the park? you will get some pretty cool pictures down there.” Josh looked at me and said “I've never been to church…. am I welcome?” I didn't know the answer the that question so I stuck with “absolutely.” WE walked past the big sign and right to the church. The parking lot was packed with cars. OHHHH ya its a sunday I thought to myself. We started walking down towards the park and I thought when was the last time I was here? I couldn't remember when the last time i was here was, It's been a really long time because we never had time (according to my dad.) We were walking down the hill to the park and Josh was behind me. *Click* I heard the clicking sound behind me and i spun around to see Josh pointing his camera at the huge oak trees right next to where we were walking. They towered above us and looked like a canopy over this side of the park. Josh was looking at the screen of his camera, a smile on his face. “You need to come see this” he said. I walked over there and went behind him, looking over his shoulder. I looked at the camera screen and Josh adjusted the camera so that the angle I was looking from was better. The picture he had taken was so beautiful, the trees were So clear and you could almost see every crack and overlap of the bark. The sun was in the background of the tops of the trees. “how many pictures do you have to get?” I asked. “Umm around 10 i guess.” he said back. “well then…….. one down.” Josh smiled and started walking again. We got to the edge of the park where there was the largest tree in the park. There was one branch that was lower than the rest. Then i saw the swing. It was a wooden swing and had two decent sized ropes on both ends of the swing. I knew that this would be a good picture if he got the right angle. “hey why don't you take a picture over here. Josh walked over by me and said with an enthusiastic voice “ya this would make a good picture.” He stood back and snapped a few pictures *click* *click* *click* “Ohhhhh these are great!” He said with a smile. “Here” he said “look at these.” I walked over already smiling. The swing was so clear and you could see every last detail, the sun shone off the ropes and the tree looked perfect just like the last picture we took. “thats two” I said smiling. “you know I can take pictures of people to.” Josh said. then I saw something catch my eye. I turned around to see maybe 30-40 feet away there was a couple sitting on the ground. They were older and they both had a wine glass in their hands. That's what caught my eye I thought. Before i could tell josh that taking a picture of them would be a good pic Josh said “hey theres a pond over there do you want to go get a picture?” “well this isnt my project” he laughed a little and started off towards the pond.
Chapter 14:We walked to the pond and on the way there i realized that the grass was green… It was green! The sun was shining and the trees were growing. Flowers… BURSTS of colors everywhere. I have never really taken time to realize how beautiful everything is. Wow. Josh and I finally got to the edge of the pond *click* *click* *click* “wow” he said, but this time i didn't get to see them he walked around the pond a little more to the cattails *click* *click* *click.* “HONK” The sound scared the crap out of me! I turned around to see a goose in my face. He was flying and his wings were in my face, I didn’t know what to do! I couldn't see Josh and i wanted to stay cool and let the goose go away but it's hard to act natural when a goose is a ll up in your face! so I thought for a second what do i do? So after a long and hard discussion with my self conscious I decided to….. flip out. “AHHHHHH” I didn’t care if the whole world heard me! I just wanted this thing out of my face! Josh was yelling something, then i didn’t hear him anymore. What the heck is going on here!!! I didn’t want to hurt the good but it was time to get this thing out of my way. “MOVE!” and i swung my arm around and now the goose was on the floor, he was fine. I couldn’t see Josh anywhere. Oh my god I just need to get my thoughts put back together here. I looked up and saw the goose again. There weren't any geeses around here, Wait are they geeses or gooses or wait...WHAT Am I doing! Ok where is Josh. I looked around and i didn’t see him. There is NO WAY he ran away because of a goose! I ran towards the church again and up the hill i went. I started to run towards the road when I saw it. Oh my….. Not again. The black cadillac was right there in front of me.
Chapter 15:The black cadillac was sitting there right in front of me. The Hulk man was nowhere in sight. I couldn't see through the windows they were all black. There was pounding on the glass. HE'S IN THERE! OMG OMG OMG what do i do! *deep breath* Ok i am going to get him out of there. There was a crack in the driver side window. I looked around for a rock or a stick, I couldn't see anything. Ok i've never punched anybody before but i had the feeling that this would work. I wound up my fist and let loose towards that window. My fist hitting it with full force a tough blow went up my elbow ringing through my arm. Ok Maisey one more it's ok, you're going to get in there! I wound up and fired again but this time i smashed right through that window. The blow still came but this time it was worse and it just about knocked me over. There was black glass everywhere it scattered all around the ground and it was on the inside of the car to. My wrist was in so much pain. I needed to get Josh out of there. “Josh lets go!” Josh was in the backseat still had his camera around his neck and he had a terrified look on his face. All of a sudden out of nowhere there was a burst of pain from the back of my head. I was dazed and now i was laid outspread on the ground. There was a lady above me getting into the car. She looked tall from where i was and she had beautiful blonde hair that was up in a ponytail. When she turned to look down at me I saw she had pale skin and red bloodshot eyes. She wore a black zip-up sweatshirt and black leggings. I got to my feet faster than i should have because My head was causing me to feel like a magnet to the ground and so sure enough back down to the ground i went. I had to lay there again and think. I can't lose him to. My dad now Josh. No. This is not how this is going to end! I need to shake it off. I got myself to my knees. I think i broke my wrist And it's my right hand to I thought. Shake it off, your ok, just a scratch. ok I was on my feet and i was ready to show this lady that i'm a lot stronger than she thought. She was still standing outside of the car but she wasn’t looking at me, she had her head in through the broken window and she seemed to be talking to Josh. “HEY YOU!” The lady in the car turned around and and saw i was on my feet. “you had a fair warning that i was coming” she said “oh really” i said “yeah my husband offered you a car ride home. You and your mother turned him down and then brought him to an abandoned lot and poisoned him! and then you drug him to the middle of the road to die! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM!” she said to me with tears forming in her eyes “WE DIDN’T” and with my left hand i drove my hand right into her face. She was down and out, but she wasn't hurt enough to keep her there. “Josh we need to leave!” Josh started to climb up to the front seat when that lady came back at me but this time she was throwing punches to. “you're gonna have to do better then that girl!” she said her face turning bright red. “FINE” I yelled remembering something my dad taught me, I dove onto the ground just as she started running at me and I tripped her. She dove for the ground but caught herself right in front of the hill. “Ha nice try.” she yelled. “well then i guess you’ll be needing the grand finale!” i yelled back. she spun around and I drove my left hand right into her stomach which made her bend over then i wound up again and shot my fist right into her nose. She went flying down that hill at a million hours an hour. “Ok Josh times up lets get out of here! Josh now sitting in the drivers seat crawled out of the window and landed on the blacktop. He stood up and gave me a huge hug. He was almost crying “thank you” he said “not to break the mood or anything but we gotta go!” Both of us started a dead on sprint to the road that our houses were on. “Maisey this way!” Josh yelled from behind me, “What are you doing” I yelled trying to slow down. “She knows where you live so if we can get to the hospital then you can stay with your mom. Josh made a really good point, she does know where i live. “ok fine but you're not coming.” “what!?!?!” Josh was almost yelling. “I dont need you coming with me ok you will be stuck there with us and my mom won't like that very much so why don't you go home ok?” He looked at me and just nodded his head “fine” he started to walk towards his house but then he stopped. He turned around and looked at me, he walked back over to me and gave me another hug. “be safe ok?” “ok” “text me when you get home.” he said starting to walk away again. “ok bye” “bye” and Josh started to jog back to his house looking back at me every once in a while and smiling wow he is so cute! I thought No time for this lovey dovey stuff maisey you have to get to the hospital. I started walking, thinking about how much i just wanted to be at the hospital, safe and with my mom.
Chapter 16: I started walking towards the road with the abandoned house and everything was still a mess in my head. Ok im just going to think for a second. *sigh* ok so i went to the park, i took some pictures, i got attacked by a goose and i saved a really cute awesome guy from this evil lady (who i beat the crap out of). Well i think I have done a pretty good job… Yeah good job Maisey.
I passed the abandoned house not wanting to remember anything about it I just kept on walking until i heard the rushing sound of cars. I was waiting for the right time to run across the first lane on the highway when there was a car horn behind me. I spun around to see a black cadillac going 60-70 miles an hour behind me. Alrightieee not many options here now is there….there were no options whatsoever so I took off on a dead sprint across the highway, The lady in the black cadillac has lost her mind! I ran as fast as i could and i reached the middle of both lanes, I had just sprinted across a highway… wholy smokes. A small circle of grass that separated the two lanes. The cadillac behind me had no intention of stopping. Alright Maisey you have two options, go across the road and have a 50-50 chance of being crushed or you can turn around and have a permanent bumper dent in your forehead… OPTION 1… LET'S GO!! so across the second one i went when i realized all too fast that i had taken to long in between the two lanes because before I even knew it that cadillac was 2 inches behind me. And then a zap came, a flash of white and then...all black.
I awoke with a blinding flash of reality. For a quick moment everything was blurry…….then reality hit me. The blinding bright light of red and blue flashing lights from the ambulance and police cars surrounding me was petrifying. I saw the faces of many unfamiliar people above me, I noticed the lady and the men that had helped my father, their looks of fear upon their faces were immediately burnt into my brain, their hands right above my face, hovering side to side. I tried to come to my senses, where am I? Who am I? I couldn’t feel anything. But from the corner of my eye i could see a rolled over black cadillac crushed like a pop can and I saw yellow police tape all around me. I could hear someone yelling “Maisey Maisey!” I looked over to see Josh behind the yellow tape. Suddenly a tremendous pain right behind my eyes started to act up. A very loud pitch ring vibrated through my head as if someone has installed a fire alarm into it. I couldn't feel anything. i wanted to scream but I couldn't do anything. I felt helpless. Than in one quick moment the world went dark once more. I saw a bright light shining. It was blinding but for some reason i felt like i needed to get there. I couldn’t feel myself walking but the light kept coming closer and closer, almost there, BEEEEEEEEP “she’s a flat line I don't know what else to do!” And then the light was too bright and i fell into pure blackness.
Chapter 17: owwwwcchhh
My eyes fluttered open and the lights were so bright i had to squint my eyes. “Dr.Laysh shes up” I looked around and saw a young lady standing next to the bed holding me up, she had red hair barely noticeable by the way her face mask that nurses always wear, covered her face, the rest of her clothing was the same baby blue color, I tried to move my head but my neck felt stiff. I couldn’t feel anything, “ok Maisey I know you're scared but I can tell you what's going on.” I felt a little relief but a lot of fear. “Maisey you are in the hospital.” THE HOSPITAL! “Your mother is here but she is in with the doctor.” “Maisey your father was sent here right before you were and he lost too much blood while the doctors were working on his hand…...Maisey im sorry but hes gone.” I couldn’t feel my arms, legs, neck or middle but I could still feel the tears coming down from my eyes. “Ok Maisey now its time to talk about you, the doctor thinks you broke your wrist,your elbow and your collarbone before you got hit…. do you know how that would have happened? I didn’t know if i would be able to talk but I had to try. “I beat up a car.” It came out a lot clearer than i thought it would. “you…….you beat up a car?” she said “ya I did! what you don't believe me?!?” “well Maisey you honestly… had a small chance of living with the loss of blood and broken bones, you really were crushed and you are very lucky.” she said trying to change the subject, “Your father died bye loss of blood. But you…. you now have…” she looked down at her clipboard, you have a broken wrist, elbow and collarbone from before the crash.... well when you got hit by the car the you went over it not under it so your chances of living were much greater going over the car then being crushed by it.” “Maisey you actually should have died in that crash.” Right then the doctor walked in with someone. I was expecting my mother but in walked Josh. “You see this is why I was supposed to come with you!” I felt like he was trying to be funny but i was so tired and upset i couldn't even think about smiling. “Oh ya and hey, YOU NEVER TEXTED ME BACK!” This time I had to smile. Just then a nurse came in and told Josh he had a phone call. The doctor let Josh say goodbye then he walked back out with a nervous look on his face. I just wanted to cry, I just wanted to cry my eyes out until Josh walked back in. “hey Maisey” said the nurse. I looked at her and she started to speak again, a smile on her face, who was that guy?” “Josss” I felt stupid by the way that came out but my mouth just wouldn’t function how i wanted it to. “well back to you maisey… I am going to be honest with you,” right then the doctor cut in, “Maisey you didn’t break anything other than your wrist, collar bone, elbow and your hand it several places but that's already healing along with everything else, your elbow and hand have pins in them right now but they'll be out in a week. Your collarbone is currently being talked about by the other doctors, it should heal normally that will only take around 2 weeks and you should be up and running again, you have a cast on your arm because of all the places your shoulder to your hand are broken.” The doctor stopped talking, smiled, and walked out. Well then I guess i'm not dead so… just then I heard the nurse walk out and now i was by myself. I felt a little pain right next to my shoulder. owwwwccchhh…Yep this officially sucked big-time. I've always hated that freaking black car. I thought before everything went black again as I fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 18: I woke up and heard the same sounds I was expecting as I shook the sleep from my mind, the beeping sound of the machine that makes sure I have a heart beat and I felt the little clothespin looking thing on my finger. As I went to close my eyes again I heard a slight cough from the corner of the room and I nearly jumped so high I could have hit the ceiling, I looked over to see Josh sitting in a chair, his hands folded in front of him, his elbows on his knees, he was looking directly at the ground as if he was hypnotized. “hey” I said. Josh looked up, snapping out of his trance and said “hey how are you doing?”I thought I should probably say something funny just to break the mood a little “Oh you know trying to slow my heart rate down from the near-heart attack experience I had just went through when you coughed… how about you?” I said smiling. “I’m doin’ just fine maisey parker, just fine” He said with a sarcastic smile on his face. There was something bothering him and I couldn’t help but ask, “hey are you ok?” He looked back up at me said “umm yeah” and he put a pathetic smile on his face and he went back to having his elbows on his knees and his head hanging low, looking at the ground again. “fine dont tell me” I said trying to sound a little sarcastic. Josh picked up his head again and said “It's been nice knowing you maisey parker… but it’s time.”
Chapter 19: “time for what?” i asked. “Just forget about it” he said as he got up and started walking toward the door. When he walked out I just couldn’t take it all in. I hadn’t seen my mother yet, Josh just said the weirdest thing ever and I’m half broken. this sucks I thought. I reached up and felt the hard substance around my neck and down my arm to my hand, It didn’t hurt that bad and I wondered what drugs had been filling me up. Just then a doctor walked in but it wasn’t Dr.Laysh. “Hi Maisey I’m Dr.allison but you can call me Drake.” I didn’t know why he was here so I asked “why are you here… you aren't my doctor” He thought for a second and replied with “I believe I am supposed to inform you that are in trouble and it’s time to go.”
chapter 20:
“what do you mean?!?” A million thoughts were going through my head. Psycho murderer, serial killer, robber, other doctor, mcdonalds manager… I don't think he likes me. “Umm I don’t really want to be kidnapped or anything today.” I said with fire in my eyes ready to knock the crap out of this guy if he touched me. He started walking towards me and I tried to put out my arm to shield myself but that stupid cast was to heavy and I was too drugged out to move anything. He grabbed the little patches that were all over my body that read my heart rate and and blood sugar and more. HE ripped them off one by one, although I couldn’t really feel anything it still hurt to watch him pull them off so hard. He had an angry and nervous look on his face but I could tell he was in a rush to get something done. The curtain he had come through was completely opened and there was nobody around… NOBODY. I felt a sharp pain in my undamaged arm so I quickly took my eyes off the curtain and I saw the needle injecting my meds was no longer there, in its place was a shot with one of the longest needles I've ever seen injecting in this green liquid. The man had already taken the shot out of my arm before I could even think to make a move, just moments after that everything was blurring and I saw the door to the hospital in front of me then I saw the rain softly falling, the last thing I remember happening was seeing the door to an all too familiar black cadillac.
Chapter 21:I couldn’t think, I couldn’t feel, I couldn’t hear. I could see small blurs of color. I saw the rain on the windows of the car. I could see a man taking off a doctor's shirt and pulling the sleeves of his normal shirt down. I didn’t recognise this man at all, it wasn’t the hulk man and this was definitely a guy. I needed to try to figure out what was happening“Whe- Where are wuhh-... *deep breath* Where are we going?” The man turned around probably stunned that I was awake. “You're going to make me some money for a new car.” I was frustrated and ready to knock this guys head right off his shoulders. I looked down to my arm to find the cast was gone and my arm was numb. I thought that without the cast getting in the way I could get to this guy. Just then he said “I need some money to buy a new car because the one I currently have is looking like a crushed pop can!” He said with rage in his voice. “well this isn’t your car” I said before even thinking about the right words to say. He didn’t say anything back. I looked down to see that I was in my jeans, I had never really thought about looking to see what I was wearing at the hospital. I noticed my awesome lilo and stitch case and thats when I thought about texting someone! I felt stupid when I realized there was no wifi in the car. There was nothing in the car by me. absolutely nothing. The windows to the car shattered, just the way I left them. No glass shards though. You would have thought there would have been. The dents still in the side from when the driver decided to make me into a speed bump. We took a sharp turn and I heard gravel under the tires. I was in the back seat looking like a turtle, wondering where we were, what was going to happen and how I had gotten into this mess. I felt the car come to a hault. I saw the man get out of the car with the non-normal sound of the door… Because it was broken. The man opened the door that was right next my feet. It opened with a grinding sound that was like nails on the chalkboard. He grabbed my by my ankles and pulled me out of the car and onto the ground. I couldn’t feel it, I could just see it. I saw the rocks on the ground everywhere. I saw his hands pull away from my ankles and I saw him get back into the car and I saw the door close. “I’ll be right back… What’s your name brat?” He said his head out of the broken window. I wasn’t going to tell this guy what my name was! “Maddy” “Maddy Pepper” I said.
Chapter 22: Doing my best to not sound sarcastic altho if I could feel my... anything I would show this guy what it felt like to have a broken… EVERYTHING!“your name ain’t maddy pepper” “what… were you raised by dr.pepper?” he said with a chuckle “so tell me brat what’s yer name!!” the fierceness in his voice scared me a little. “I just told you moron!” I said sighing and laying my head against the ground. “Don’t get smart with me brat, if you don’t want to tell me your name fine but be ready for some skid marks across that pretty little face a’ yers!” I didn’t really want to be hit by the same car twice in the same day. “Well first of all I’m a little too young for you to be callin me pretty don’t ya think? Second of all if you're going to run me over for telling you my name then so be it.” the man sighed and opened the car door again getting out. I knew he wasn’t going to do anything to hurt me, I could tell he was deep in thought as he sat down on the road right next to me. I looked around and saw an old house with little detail. The house's roof was collapsed and there was no way anyone could even take a step into the house without the rest of it concaving. There were metal poles sticking out of the ground all around me and there was garbage everywhere, big heaps of broken counters, cupboards, fridges, tools, toys, toilets, anything you could think of was in that field. The man got up and sighed with a long exhale. “alright time for you to go snuggle up with your little buddy josh.”
The man walked over to me and wrapped one arm under my legs and the other arm disappeared behind me and his hand comes back around my neck. He lifts me off the ground and he starts walking, with me in his arms, toward the pile of garbage. He gets to the outer edge of the huge piles of garbage and he starts gradually moving around random garbage and other objects. He stops in between two rows of garbage. The only thing they're still in one piece is a shovel in which is broken right where the metal piece meets the wooden handle. The man put me down and grabbed the sticking-up handle and pushed it toward the ground revealing a tr pain from the back of my head. I was dazed and now i was laid outspread on the ground. There was a lady above me getting into the car. She looked tall from where i was and she had beautiful blonde hair that was up in a ponytail. When she turned to look down at me I saw she had pale skin and red bloodshot eyes. She wore a black zip-up sweatshirt and black leggings. I got to my feet faster than i should have because My head was causing me to feel like a magnet to the ground and so sure enough back down to the ground i went. I had to lay there again and think. I can't lose sprinted across a highway… wholy smokes. A small circle of grass that separated the two lanes. The cadillac behind me had no intention of stopping. Alright Maisey you have two options, go across the road and have a 50-50 chance of being crushed or you can turn around and have a permanent bumper dent in your forehead… OPTION 1… LET'S GO!! so across the second one i went when i realized all too fast that i had taken to long in between the two lanes because before I even knew it that cadillac was 2 inches behind me. And then a zap came, a flash of white and then...all black. head hanging low, looking at the ground again. “fine don't tell me” I said trying to sound a little sarcastic. Josh picked up his head again and said “It's been nice knowing you maisey parker… but it’s time.” Chapter 19: “time for what?” i asked. “Just forget about it” he said as he got up and started walking toward the door. When he walked out I just couldn’t take it all in. I hadn’t seen my mother yet, Josh just said the weirdest thing ever and I’m half broken. this sucks I thought. I reached up and felt the hard substance around my neck and down my arm to my hand, It didn’t hurt that bad and I wondered what drugs had been filling me up.

He gets to the outer edge of the huge piles of garbage and he starts ground random garbage and other objects. He stops in between two rows of garbage. The only thing they're still in one piece is a shovel which is broken right where the metal piece meets the wooden handle. The man put me down and grabbed the shovels end and surprisingly it opened leading to a tunnel of darkness. It was a trap door to darkness. He picked me back up and started towards the darkness beneath us.
Chapter 20:
Down a flight of stairs and into blackness. I heard nothing, I saw nothing, I was surrounded by nothingness. The man took a turn left and I could feel him trying to get into his pocket with his hands but he couldn’t with me in his arms. He put me down on the cold ground and got out what sounded like a pair of keys. He didn’t pick me back up. Insead he opened a door with the keys and pulled me by my wrists into a dark room. There is nothing on the floor… as far as I know. I hear a muffled voice and the sound literally almost makes me pee my pants. I know that sound. It’s Josh.
The man brings me up to a wall and wraps a rope around my waist. Loose enough to where I can breath but tight enough to the point where I can’t get out. I speak for the first time in about 15 minutes, “Josh! Josh I’m here! Josh I’m here!” I don’t know what else to say. Tears form and burn my eyes and I can’t help but let them fall. I go to say Josh’s name again, trying to get him to reply but instead I get a kick in the ribs by the man. Duct tape is around my mouth within 10 seconds of being kicked and I am officially screwed. My thoughts don’t last long before I hear a light umph sound and then silence. The lights come on and I can’t see anything for a couple seconds while my eyes adjust. When my eyes adjust I am stunned and crying when I see Josh sitting against the other wall tied and duct taped as I am, the only difference is I’m not the one bleeding.

Chapter 1: I woke up to the birds chirping and the sound of my dad on the lawn mower. I didnt want to get up, it was a saturday and I just wanted to sleep. My comforter was so warm. All of a sudden I heard, “Maisie Parker get your butt down here! your breakfast is getting cold.” Processing her words into my brain……. Breakfast was all I got out of that whole sentence, processing……...PANCAKES!!!! I flew out of my bed so fast, realizing i had my most embarrassing barbie doll pajamas on I changed as quick as I Could in to my regular clothes. My dark jeans, bootcut to be exact and my navy blue polka dot white t-shirt that i wore all the time. My long brown hair cascaded down to my waist almost. I was growing it out so I could donate to locks of love. I started my sprint down the hallway upstairs and finally reached the top of the staircase i started going two steps at a time. I totally almost biffed it coming down the stairs. My feet made the stairs creak and rumble. BOOM BOOM BOOM. When I Got downstairs my mother had just started cooking the bacon. “Did you hear the stampede to?” my mother said with a quick smile. I laughed and stuck out my tongue and her and sat down on the wooden chair. Pancakes, they just sat there on that plate and mocked me. “instead of sitting there and drooling you could get off your butt and get a plate.” said my mother I did as I was told and I got out of the chair and stumbled over to the cabinet. One of the hinges red and rusted so when I opened the cabinet it creaked. I opened the cabinet, grabbed a bright orange plastic plate and returned to my wooden chair. I held the fork in my hand and I sat and stared at that beautiful stack of magic. mom put the syrup on the table and I grabbed it and pulled it closer to me. I grabbed a pancake and I drowned it in syrup. I cut off a piece of my pancake in that (what my mother calls fake) sugar-ie, thick greatness. Than I heard the scream.
Chapter 2:
This morning, I should have stayed asleep. When me and my mother heard that hair raising scream we both looked at eachother then bolted out the door as fast as our feet could carry us. I didn't have shoes on but I knew I wouldn't step on anything as we hurled ourselves over the stairs, out the door and onto the lawn. The soft green grass made me feel like I was running on pillows. Finally looking up I saw my mother on the ground already. Than I realized she was holding my father in her arms. I heard the lawn mower still running. My mother was now crying and screaming “come on please...Please!” I didn't know what to do. I was in shock but I Pulled it together. what do I do? What do I do? Than I got it! I bolted forward as fast as I could run. Up a stair than skipping two, up another stair and completely flying over the last one. I ran into the entryway and into the kitchen, my pancakes still sitting there. I quickly passed my mother’s room and I got to the long hallway. Short turn and right into the living room. I was going so fast I went to flip the light switch and missed. Turning around so quickly, I tripped over my own feet. Getting up I flipped the switch on. The room lit up almost as bright as it was outside. I grabbed the phone, my hands were trembling so bad but I held the phone with a tight grip in my right hand. With my left hand I pointed with my pointer finger towards the phone. I had never called 911 before! what was this going to be like?!? No time to think! I held my breath and dialed 9-1-1. The phone didn’t ring for more than 3 seconds “hello what’s your emergency?” I didn't know what to do and I didn't know what to say “hello what’s your name” Umm Uhh “Maisie… Maisie parker” “ok maisy how old are you” I replied with “13” “ok” she said surprisingly very calm. “ok Maisey can you give the phone to your mom or dad?” “umm I can't do that” She said “ok Maisey what's the emergency” “I don't know” I said with a quieter tone. My dad was on the lawn mower and we heard him scream so we went outside. I didn’t even see him before my mom got down onto her knees then I knew something was wrong and I freaked out and called you!” then she asked “can you go outside with the phone” I said “ok” and ran as fast as I could until I got outside again flying over all of the steps and landed again on the soft green grass. I was surprised to see my mother next to my father holding his hand, He was unconscious, with a terrified look in her eyes. She was rocking back and forth on her knees. She was crying and screaming out “No” “No” I went to her and saw why she had the terrified look on her face. My father lying there with one hand in my mother's hand.His other hand was under the lawn mower.
Chapter 3:I’ve always loved car rides, but the car ride in the ambulance was horrible. After I saw what my mother had been looking at I was completely in a trance. I broke back to the real world when the lady on the phone said “Maisey can you tell me whats going on?” I told her my father was under the lawn mower. She told me to stay on the phone and to not hang up no matter what. So I talked to her. She asked stuff like “what's your favorite color and what's your favorite holiday. I asked her why I couldn’t hang up and she said the police and ambulance where coming. I have only seen an ambulance once and that was at a football game. They didn’t do anything, nobody got hurt. The whole time I was outside my mother just cried. Louder than ever before. Every second I had to sit there and listen to this lady and answer her stupid questions felt like a year. Just sitting there feeling useless. finally, I heard sirens! It’s like they were telling the world “get out of my way!” they pulled into the driveway. The police cars weren't here yet. When I heard the car doors slam I looked up to see one lady had gotten out of the ambulance and rushed over to my mother. I dropped the phone forgetting all about it. She grabbed her hand. She let her over to the van just as two men got out of the back of the van with a very large crate which almost looked like a tool box. They went straight to work with my dad and the lady with my mom was asking my mother questions. Questions like, “what happened?” “My daughter and I were inside when we heard him scream.” my mother said never looking the ambulance lady in the face. Than she went back into the truck and came back out within a couple of seconds. With her were a bundle of forms. My mother reached out to grab them and the lady shook her head and kept walking towards me. “they aren't for you.” She eventually reached me and handed me a stack of papers. She told me to take my time and to fill out what I knew and the rest to leave blank. She told me not to talk to my mother about any of the papers. She then handed me a bright blue pen with WEST WHITINGS HOSPITAL OFF OF EXIT 48. I grabbed it from her and as she walked toward the men by the lawn mower I looked down the piling heap of papers lying on the grass. I forced myself not to look at what they were doing to my father. But I Had to, just a glimpse. What I saw turned me inside out. The two men were pulling the lawn mower apart. Piece by piece they broke away and threw to the side. My father still unconscious and his right arm still under the lawn mower, there was blood everywhere! It was all over the lawn mower all over the two men and now the woman, it was all over the ground and it was covering my father.I didn’t want to look at it anymore, I didn’t want to think about it. I went back to my papers. Question #1 do you have any at-home problems? on the short line I wrote nice and big N-O. I quickly sighed,ok question #2 have you ever had any disabilities caused by family members N-O. #3 Any mental issues to you or any other family member? N-O. # 4 Do you have a therapist or a counselor you go to? N-O. #5 Are your parents divorced N-O. ok ,thank goodness I thought to myself, last question. Have you seen any mysterious people around your house lately. I thought long and hard about this question. I thought it was kinda a stupid one but I left it blank because i didn’t have the slightest clue as of what they meant. I brought the lady back the papers and watched as she was working on my father but I just decided to get out of their way. Just as I turned around to go by my mother the men yelled to the woman “get the gurney!” Although she was right in front of them. She did as she was told and ran to the truck giving me a clear view to where the men and my father were. They had gotten the last piece of the mower off and he was now free from that evil contraption. I saw something that will haunt me forever, my father lay there still unconscious with nothing but blood and shredded flesh for what we would think was were a humans hand is supposed to be. He had nothing but a stub of flesh, blood and bone. I turned and puked, I puked like I have never befor. Suddenly I felt a hand on my back, it was my mother she very surprisingly had a gentle, calm tone. She said lets go and she walked me over to the ambulance and lifted me into the massive truck. I immediately noticed that my father was coming toward the truck on the already soaked with blood gurney. “he’s losing blood fast!” The man yelled as he lifted one end of the gurney up while the other man lifted the other end of it into the truck. Than my mother got in last and sat down next to my on the red leather seats. The door slammed and it was just me, mom , dad and one of the two men. He leaned over closer to us. “Everything is going to be ok,” For a quick second I got a hint of hope But when the truck started and we felt the truck jerk forward I knew that this small spark of hope would be burnt out faster than I would ever know. Than all of a sudden, everything I’ve ever dreamed about or wished on was in no compare to what I wanted right now. I just wanted everything to go back to normal. But this was just the beginning. I knew things were just going to get worse. And 5 minutes later, I was right.
Chapter 4:The road was bumpy and jaggedy on our long journey down the road on our way to the highway. I watched the gurney with my unconscious father outspread acrossed it. I didn’t want to look at him. I got up and I sat down closer to my mother than I was before. She had her head in her hands and she was bent over far enough to her knees to where I couldn’t see her face. I knew she was still crying by the way her back went up then slowly quivered down. I wanted to say something but I couldn’t find the right words so I just sat down in the empty space between my mother and and the door. Than l everyone jerked forward just a little, we were now on the highway. I could tell just by looking out the window. I watched the little yellow lines as they flew past the window. I saw the big blue sign that stated WEST WHITINGS HOSPITAL NEXT EXIT. Than the lady from driving yelled back to the man sitting across from me and my mother “Tom get ready to get out… I just called Jerry and they have a room ready and we gotta get him in there as soon as were there! Just incase you get nerved-out you know that Adam has done this kind of thing before so you can just ask him to take care of it. He knows what to do and he’ll get the job done” the man sitting across from us yelled back with full force “do you think I’m stupid? I know what my job is so dont you dare go off telling me how to do it!” My mother raised her head for the first time, She mumbled something then said “where are we?” The man sitting across us stated almost yelling “hospital.” The man got up and grabbed the front side of the gurney. His hands gripping it tight, his veins popping out of his skin. His breaths got shorter and his blinking got slower. We felt a quick turn and a yell from one of the people in front “when he’s inside I’ll tell Linda what happened and I’ll fill out the forms you guys work on getting him inside.” Surprisingly there was no smart comeback from the man by us. He was ready to show the lady in the front what he could do, I could tell he was going to take good care of my father. I knew he was going to take good care of him because his eyes never left my fathers. Than the van came to a screeching halt. Many different people came rushing out of the hospital. Many of them in gowns and face masks. The man who was holding my fathers gurney was already yelling out orders to the other men and women. One moment we were in the van but a moment later my and my mother were assisted to the main lobby. We went through the huge automatic sliding doors right on the nurses and doctors heels. Me and my mother were brought to the main desk ,my father was being wheeled away but right before they got him through the door to the emergency room he was consumed by doctors checking him all over I could hear every word they said “where is his other hand?” “we never found it.””he has lost too much blood already!” “get him to surgery!” My focus went back to the lady at the desk who was already talking to my mother. my mother's facial expression told me she wasn’t listening and/or did she care what-so-ever about what she was saying. The woman was fairly skinny and had dark brown short hair, she had blue eyes and was most likely and older woman as she has wrinkles all over her face. The lady was talking about what they were going to do to him and then she said words to my mother that I knew would make my mother hate that lady with everything inside of her. She said “if he dies we are going to need you to understand that we didn’t do this to him.” “this is his fault so whether or not he lives is up to him.” Than just like I knew would happen she exploded. She went from pale and heartbroken to purple in the face and she looked like she was going to put this lady in the emergency room right next to my father. She made sure the whole world know that she was going to get to this lady. “Instead of talking about how my husband is so stupid why don’t you tell me whats going on because your brain must be malfunctioning if you think that all of this is on us, if you think I want to be here in this horrible place listening to you tell me how my husband is going to DIE than excuse me for saying but you should really be taking some of those fancy little meds for the mentally screwed up people like yourself!!!” Some more cursing came mumbling from my mother’s mouth and she went back to the lady. I felt a small smile coming to me but I realized that this was no time to smile. I went back to my pouting face, all frustrated and confused as my mother was she went straight down to business. “the men in the ambulance said that you had some forms you needed me to fill out. The lady still surprised with a blank look on her face, went down under the counter and came up with a packet of papers. If she would have set those papers down on the floor I think It would have been taller than I was. My mother grabbed the packet and asked the lady when we could see my father. She tried to explain to us that it would be quite while before we could see him, “at the least I would say it will be about a week before they even think about letting you into the room with your father.” she sent us into the waiting room to fill out the forms. We were without a car and I could tell that this was the last place that mom wanted to be. Just as I suspected she stated “alright this is bull.” “lets go”
Chapter 5:
She got up from her chair and grabbed my hand. She walked to the lady at the front desk and said “I’ll be back later.” then before the woman could say anything we were out the door.
We didn’t have a ride home but by the looks of it my mother didn’t care. It was starting to rain. Not a thunderstorm kind of rain but more of a drizzle. Than my mother said “I’m cold, I’m wet and i want to be home.” she had no facial expression what-so-ever, Just a blank look of sadness and frustration. We were standing outside hand in hand in the pouring rain just standing there looking ridiculous. Than I saw the black cadillac pull up to where my mother standing. It was going slow enough to where it didn’t splash the small amounts of water on the creases between the sidewalk and the parking lot area. A window started to come down and my mother made eye contact with the person inside. I could see him also, he was a little on the heavy side but he had combed over hair. His hair was dark and wetted down. It looked as if he had been outside for a while because with the amount of rain falling he looked as if he had been doing something for a long time. He wore a navy blue under armour sweatshirt and black basketball shorts. He looked as if he were my dads age. He leaned over to talk to my mother and said with as very gentle but scratchy voice “would you like a ride somewhere?” My mother very politely said no thank you I just called a cab.” I knew she was lying but she didn’t know this man. So the man pulled away and down the road he went. Then my mother said something that almost made me smile “ya today isn’t the kind of day I would want to be kidnaped.” “I’m just joking, something was just a little off about that guy.” I said back “I know” I felt my mother trying to lighten the mood. She didn’t have her phone either. Most likely because we were in such a rush to get to the hospital she forgot to grab it before we left. She said “well we better start walking.” then she sighed and started walking with my hand in hers we walked down the sidewalk. WE got to the exit of the hospital exit and I felt the flashing woosh of the cars flying across the highway. “is it like.. illegal to cross the highway?” I asked with a questioning voice. She answered “yes” then she tightened her grip and said “alright lets go” and we made a sprint to the other side. she quickly caught her breath as I did the same. “now number two.” she started another sprint, I was right on her heels and we reached the other side. She told me we were only like 10 minutes from our house, it made me feel a little better. We started walking down the road when we passed an old house. “nobody has lived there for a really long time.” Then she asked me if i wanted to take a break. I wanted to say yes but i didn’t want to go in that house! but all I could come up with was ok. But then my mother gasped as she saw what I saw. We both saw it at the same time. It was the black cadillac.
Chapter 6:
This isn’t his house, I am sure of it! It can't be.” my mother said as she approached the car. I stayed put, all of a sudden I saw my mother gasp and back away slowly. I walked over to her slowly afraid of what was in the car. Then I saw it, It was the man we had saw but this time he was different. You could see the dark red veins spreading across his face like a rapid disease. His bloodshot eyes stuck out from the sockets that held them. He was so pale he looked as if he were a ghost. He looked possessed by the way he didn’t make eye contact with us. His mouth hung open just enough for saliva to run out all over his cloths. My mother walked to the other side of the vehicle and onto the dead green grass. The grass was a pukey green color and as very unpleasant to look at.This was a sorry excuse for a lawn. This was more of that graveyard kind of place. The scenery brought that horror movie kind of feeling into the air. There was an oak tree that towered over us so high I couldn't see the top. Many branches lay scattered sporadically across the short dead grass. she told me to grab one of the branches on the ground so I did. The random branch I grabbed was a very long and slender branch It looked to be about four and a half feet long. I picked it up, brushed it off and walked back over to my mother who was back by the widow of the car. She was by the window by the passenger side and she reached for the stick I held in my hands. I gave my stick to her and she grasped it tightly with one hand and she fed it through the open space of the car. She fed it through slowly and gently until she was just a couple of inches away from hitting the man. Her hands were shaking but she kept moving her hands further into the car. The look on her face looked like she thought he would wake up and tackle her. She sighed and moved one inch closer until she bumped him with the stick gently. Then in an instant the man was sitting up straight in the car looking at us with though bulging red eyes. He started kicking around like he was contracted with no way out. until he found the car door handle and got out of the car. My mother held up that stick like it was a weapon. she started to put it down when the hulk man suddenly lifted his head and screamed. not just any ordinary scream, This one was one where he lifted his head and released the sick maddened beast inside of him.He looked at us with that rapid dog look in his eyes. Then the hulk man started moving toward us…....
Chapter 7:
The veins across the man's body bulged now more than ever. Now instead of pale and ghostly he was red and steaming with anger. his fists clenched and his triceps looked like one swing from that guy and you wouldn’t be seeing tomorrow. He towered over us. The last time we had seen him he didn’t look so tall but then again he was sitting down in his car. the last time we saw this man he was just a normal guy in a normal world. But now he was like the hulk! His arms and legs bulging with muscle, his face hot and red with hatred. He started yelling and screaming into my mother's face from where he stood, spit flying everywhere. “ you rejected me!” “am I not good enough for you!?” “I couldn’t just give you a ride home!” Than he sat down on the ground and just started to cry. He just sat there as red as an strawberry and just cried. My mother was speechless by the way this man reacted to this specific scenario. This is crazy! Isaid to myself in my head. “Is there anything I can do for you” my mother asked the man on the ground. “I need my medication.” he mumbled. My mother didn’t ask where they were or what they were for. she just walked over to me, grabbed my hand and whispered so softly I could barely hear her “lets go before he gets up again.” then within seconds we were in a dead sprint down the road. We were running as fast as we could not looking back to see if that scary man was behind us. We kept running until I saw the sign. 21 Ave that's my road! I was so excited to be back. I felt like I hadn’t been there for a year! I was so excited I lost myself for a second my feet tripping over themselves. But i stayed up and just kept running. Entering our concrete driveway, sprinting up the wooden stairs, Unlocking the door with the key under the matt and getting to the comforting coziness of my house. The sofa, the TV and my magical, amazing, beautiful, stack of drowned in syrup, stack of pancakes, oh how I missed my pancakes! I walked over to the kitchen table still trying to catch my breath and I grabbed my bright orange plate holding the pancakes and I brought them to the microwave, I clicked 3:00 then clicked start. Waiting for them felt like an eternity. I didn’t know where my mother was but I would find her when I was finished with my pancakes. It was 7:56 and I was ready to eat my pancakes then I was going to talk to my mother but right now my pancakes had to come first. So when I heard the beep of the microwave I quickly grabbed them out of there and with my fork I stuffed them down my throat as fast as they would go. I ate and ate until the pancakes were gone and my plate looked as it did before I put anything on it. Than I got up and put my plate into the sink and started to look for my mother. I hadn’t heard her yet since we’ve been home. I started in the dining room and worked my way back looking in every room in the upstairs. Mothers room, kitchen, dining room, closet, library and entry way. Nothing was found. I started to climb the stairs when I heard the front door of my house open and close. I rushed down the stairs to get outside. Who just exited my house? I thought to myself as I reached the bottom of the staircase. I opened the door just in time to see my mother slowly getting into the car. She was pale and I could tell she was sad and depressed as her actions were slow and effortless. I quickly ran through our lawn and got to the driveway. I grabbed the car door just as she was closing it. “what are you doing?” i asked her with a little more anger in my tone than i intended. With no effort to make an expression what-so-ever she just said “I need to go check on your father.” “well can i come?” i said. she replied with just a simple head nod left to right. “not this time” she said “i need you to stay home. I was confused but she had already pushed my hand off of the car door and she was closing the door. A slam of a car door and she was off to the hospital again. I walked inside of my house and I was going to look for the landline to call my mother so we could talk again because we didn’t really get the chance the last time. I started my search in the kitchen and i was looking on the table and on the counter when i realized something. wow i am such a blonde I thought to myself as i realized that the last time i had the landline was OUTSIDE when i was talking to the 911 lady. When i got outside the phone was right where i left it but when i got to the phone lying on the ground i realized suddenly something that half scared me and half surprised me. The phone was ringing.
Chapter 8:
The phone ringing was disturbing to me because who would be calling me at this hour? it wasn’t my mother. I knew that the last thing she would want to be doing right now is talking to a 13 year old about her husband getting eaten by a lawn mower and a hulk man sicker than a dog, chasing them down the street. so i just picked up the phone with curiosity overcoming my thoughts telling me to not pick up. I picked up the phone not knowing who was going to pick up or what this person was going to say. So I picked it up and clicked the cute little green dot with the word Answer on the bottom, hearing the soft beep i raised the phone to my ear and listened to what noise would come out of that landline. expecting a “hello” or just an “excuse me but could i talk to” But all i heard was air brushing against the other end of the line i was on. Then a scratchy and dark deep booming voice rang through the phone, almost scaring me out of my skin. all the dark mysterious man said was “she is coming.” Then befor i could come out of my state of shock i heard the phone make a double beep sound and the other end was 100% silence. I just did my best to store that info in the back of my brain. I started to dial my mother's phone number as I walked up the stairs and back into my house. When i got inside I walked to my mother's room just as it started to make that buzzing sound the, dial tone. I went straight to my mother's room and laid out spread acrossed her memory foam mattress covered in the softest comforter ever! The phone never leaving my ear, I heard a vibration coming from the kitchen so i got up and walked slowly to the kitchen not knowing what it was. When arriving at the kitchen i looked at the counter where the faint vibration seemed to be coming from. I walked over to the counter and saw a bright pink sparkly phone case. It was my mother's phone ringing. I grabbed the phone from of the counter and clicked answer. Realizing I had just said hello to myself i felt really stupid when the quick rush of confusion hit me. Why would she not bring her phone? she knew i would call her! she never goes anywhere without her phone! I was confused but i just put the home phone down right after i hung up. I went back into my mothers room and I grabbed the grey remote and aimed at the tv. when the tv came to life the news was on, my mother is always watching the news. Something about a dolphin or something. Next channel was family feud, next channel was Liv and Maddie next channel. I just kept flipping through the channels when finally I hit the best tv show ever, cake boss! I love this show so much, Buddy (the owner) is always making these huge cakes and he makes wedding cakes, birthday cakes, party cakes, normal cakes and cupcakes, brownies, rolls, cannolis and biscuits. I am going there one day! I got comfortable in my mothers bed comfortable under all of the blankets and the big fluffed up pillows behind my head, i felt the strain on my legs arms neck and shoulders slowly go away. I looked down at my mothers alarm clock which said very brightly in large red numbers 10:57. I was surprised by the time. I was watching buddy talk about how he was going to make a working foes ball cake when i fell asleep and I dreamt about cake.
Chapter 9:When I woke up the first thing i did was look at the clock to see how long i had slept. the clock read 12:48, I was shocked but despite the amazing length i had slept i had to see if my mother was home yet. I got up from all of the soft warm blankets and i walked out into the kitchen still trying to calibrate so i wouldn't completely bif it and land on my face. when i reached the kitchen i heard nothing but silence. I walked out into the driveway realizing that was the only way i could tell if she was home or not. I walked to the door and opened it feeling the cold door handle. The door wouldn't open so i looked down and saw the door locked. I didn’t lock it last night before i went to bed (woops). I unlocked it and stepped outside to find that it was snowing. The white magnificent beautiful dust covered the ground. Stepping back into the real world i looked to the driveway and there was nothing there but a pillow of snow. No tracks, and no car. So I did what any smart person would have done, I went inside and made pancakes. After i ate my favorite breakfast ever I went back into my mothers room. I have never really had a chance to be in her room by myself and i wanted to explore. I walked in and I went straight to her closet. I found this dress in the middle of the third pile on the second shelf (to be specific) the dress was black but had slashes of color all over it, it looked as if there were neon zebra print all over it. I just had to try it on. Mom isnt here this is my chance to go crazy! I grabbed a pair of her high heels with cheetah print all over. I ran into the bathroom and come out a whole new person. Next came make-up. I went back into the bathroom in my neon covered black mermaid dress and cheetah print high heels and i went into one of the pull out drawers and sure enough there was enough make up there to cover an elephant head to toe! I started, blue eyeshadow up to the top of my forehead, red lipstick covered my lips and purple blush all over from my ears to my nose. next i went into her jewelry box and pulled out the biggest hoop earrings i have ever seen in my life! I went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror and saw the best looking clown ever. I pulled my hair back into a ponytail so i could put the earrings on. I put my earrings on and i let my hair down. I walked into the kitchen where my ipod lay on the counter…….. It was time to take a selfie.
Chapter 10:
I picked up my ipod and i clicked the home button to turn it on. right away the many text messages that have been sent to me were blinking on the screen, one than two then three then four, five, six and they just kept coming. I haven't been on my ipod for 24 hours and i've gotten 13 text messages! i unlocked my ipod and went straight the the camera and took many selfies, of me looking like a clown. Memories were made today i said to myself with a smile on my face. i went back into the bedroom and got dressed into my clothes again and i removed the pounds and pounds of makeup on my face. next i went back to my ipod, grabbed it and went back to my mother's room. I sat on the bed and turned the tv on. I got under the blankets again and turned my ipod. I went straight to my texting app and as i clicked i heard the buzzing sound of another person texting. When the screen finally was on the app i saw my friends had been texting but there were only 13 messages and what about the message i had just received? I scrolled down without even looking at what my friends had said when i saw that the person that texted me wasn't any of my friends, it wouldn't let me see the name of the person until i accepted them as my friend. so I went to the settings and accepted the person. I went back to the texting home screen and i saw the name above the message, It said “hey” thats it. But the name above it was just enough to make my heart skip a beat. Josh Johnson, he was the most popular and cute and……...OMG he's talking to me! I was so surprised, at school i am known as the biggest screw up of this century! Well anyway back to Josh. I told myself over and over don't sound desperate just act natural so I texted “hey” back. Almost immediately “what's up” came to my screen. On the app i have it always said (there name) is typing and right after he said “what's up” it said Josh is typingI was just waiting and waiting for words to pop up on the screen. It felt like an eternity waiting for the boy of my dreams to say something when finally he said “hey what's up with you? I live down the street from you and i know you probably haven't noticed but i see you all the time and this morning i saw an ambulance go by was it going to your house?” I didn’t know what to say! HE LIVES BY ME! I just told myself to act natural. “ya” I said. Josh started to type again and in an instant “why were they there?” than before i was even done reading it he said “is everybody ok? are you ok?” In my heart i was like awww but in real life he just cares about the populars and the pretty ones. i replied with “ya i'm ok but my dad just had a little accident.” He said “glad your ok but what happened?” Again with the awww! but i just said “oh you know the usual dad falling of a lawnmower and getting his hand chewed up in a lawnmower.” I felt tears coming back to my eyes but i just wanted to see what josh would say back. A long period of time went by (30 seconds but it felt like an eternity.) When Josh said “oh my god are you ok? I know that can be hard for some people.” I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t want to sound like a wimp so I tried to think of something to say when Josh texted me and it said “don't worry” i was confused for a second when more words popped up on the screen “dont worry im here for you.” I was like WOAH but i just send a question mark. I felt stupid because he just said something sweet and i acted all stupid. DANG! when I realized he was typing again. He said “I know that this is hard for you and that you feel hurt but i am here for you and i want you to know that I am always here to talk to you if you need someone to talk to.” I said something that i've been thinking about in my head for a while. “since when do you care about me? I mean we never talk to each other and you are always with the popular pretty girls.” I sent it with a smile on my face because it feels good to say that to him because now he knows how EVERY girl that isn't popular or pretty feels! He started typing again and now i made myself look like a jerk. WOW i keep messing up i need to start thinking before i click send although i'm still proud of the last statement although it wasn't so nice. Than i saw what Josh said…. “hey I don't like those girls because they aren't… real and I like a different girl so those girls don't mean anything to me!” I didn’t know what to do or what to say so i did the only thing could think of… change the subject! “do you have facetime” i said and he replied with yes and he asked what mine is so i told him Maisie [email protected] and he said “ok great talk to you in a second. I was like OMG i am going to talk to JOSH face to face OMG OMG OMG ok stay cool maisey i said to myself. Than my facetime alarm went off and I was like ok pick accept or pick decline. I just clicked accept and turned the camera off. Than i SPRINTED to the bathroom and grabbed my hairbrush while it was connecting and i got back to my mother's room before it had fully connected and i ran my hands through my hair and made sure it was perfect. Than i saw his face right in front of me and he looked like….him. His short blonde hair, blue eyes, the way his hair just barely covers the corners of his eyes. TOTALLY PERFECT!!! the screen was dark so i asked the obvious “hey why is it so dark?” and it was quiet until i heard his voice say “i don't know it just is.” his voice was quiet and kind of…. sad. I just said ok to change the subject. Than he said “so whats up.” you know boys they never know what to say so all they ever say is “hey” or “what's up.” But i said “why are you all of a sudden talking to me!? you never talk to me.” he just said nothing. We just sat there in silence until he broke the silence with a sigh and a simple “i don't know” So i decided that i was going to figure this out! So i said “that isn’t an answer” with a smile on my face that he couldn’t see. Then he smiled into the camera and said “are you home alone? i don't hear anybody else.” oh so now he’s changing subject again! “ya i'm home alone” i said “he said the weirdest thing next “so when are your parents coming home?” i said “I don't know it will be a while probably.” He smiled and said “maybe because we live by each other and we can just hang out for a while?” I was surprised at what he said and i was overwhelmed so i muted it so he couldn’t hear me and i screamed as loud as i could “OH MY GOD HES COMING OVER!!! I unmuted it and very calmly said “Sure” trying to hold in another scream.” then he said “ok” and he said “talk to you in 5” and he hung up. Oh……. My…….. God!Chapter 11:I was in shock! A boy……. at my house! My house was clean and there was nothing to clean….. Except me! I forgot all about my regular jeans and polka dot shirt! I needed to look….. Not poor! So i ran up the stairs to my room and grabbed the handle to the closet and flung the door open and looked for cute clothes than i saw my nike shoes that i have never worn before because i was going to be in basketball but dropped out and now i have the coolest basketball shoes ever! they are black and they have pink laces and shredded design on the sides. I had to find jeans and a shirt first! so I grabbed my favorite boot cut jeans and i put them on and i grabbed a regular black T-shirt that said in huge white letters I AIN'T CRAY-Z! I sat down on the floor and put my AWESOME shoes and I ran to the hallway in between the stairs and my room and i stopped at the hexagon shaped window on the wall, I scanned the road down and up again to see if i could see Josh yet but i didn’t see him…. major relief! I flew down the stairs two at a time and raced to my mother's room and grabbed my hairbrush, ripping through my hair to make it soft and straight. I wa ready for him to get here, Maisey Parker don't you dare do anything stupid! I said to myself. I was just standing there in my mother's room when i heard a loud and annoying ring coming from the kitchen so i took my time getting there still thinking about Josh and i picked up the phone and clicked the green answer button. “Hello?” I said into the phone. “yes hello is this Maisey?” It was definitely a lady talking because it was light but high pitched voice and it was scratchy and proper “Yes it is” i responded. I heard a rustling on the other end then i heard a familiar voice, “Maisey is that you? are you ok? Im sorry im still here its just your father is in poor condition and i need to be here for a while.” It was my mother! “Mom how are you calling me you left your phone here! When are you coming home?” there was a short pause and i heard the lady with the soft annoying voice talking but i couldn't make out what she was saying, i heard my mother talking back but all i could hear were mumbles. the only thing i hard out of all of the mumbles was “there is no way i can tell her, when suddenly my mother said “maisey its going to be a long time you're probably on your own tonight again i'm sorry.” then there was silence and in an instant a recorded voice said “this call has been ended. I was like really mom thanks for helping. wait, I have school tomorrow! I put the phone down and I just stood there when suddenly i heard the doorbell.
Chapter 12:I heard the doorbell and my heart skipped a beat, ITS JOSH!! I made sure my shoes were tied and my shirt was straight and i ran my fingers through my hair, i took a deep breath and i started walking towards door, every step i took it felt like i was getting FURTHER away from the door. When i reached the door i thought “now is my chance! i can still run to the back room and jump out the window and save myself the embarrassment of looking stupid in front of josh. But instead I reached out and latched my hands around the door knob, i turned it and opened the door to let josh in. When i saw him standing there i was like woah but i tried to keep that to myself, He had his hands in his pockets and he had a backpack was wearing a neon blue Old Navy shirt and guess what!?! He was wearing really cool basketball shoes to! I stood there admiring his perfection when i realized i looked like a moron just standing there so I said “hey come on in.” He lifted his head, did a cool hairflip thing to get his hair out of his eyes. he smiled and walked inside and immediately went to the living room and he just sat down on the couch like he owned the place. “would you like anything to drink?” I asked. he shook his head no and he reached for his backpack. he hasn't said anything yet is something wrong? i thought to myself trying my best to figure it out, Then I heard Josh start to talk “hey so whats up with your parents? why aren't they here?” then i said “ya my dad is in the hospital and my mom has to stay there with him so ya…..” He looked at me and smiled and asked “are you ok? that is a lot to go through.” “ya i know but i'll be fine.” i said. “when are they coming back?” he said with his smile fading. “My mom called right before you showed up and she told me that she would be at the hospital all night tonight and probably for a while after that so im kinda on my own.” He wa still digging around in his backpack looking for something then he said “So you're going to school by yourself and then you just kinda……. own this house?” “ya kinda” i said. Then he said “Hey do you want me to come by here later tomorrow and pick you up before school and we could just walk there together? I just dont want you to walk by yourself.” wow i never really thought about how i was getting to school. “that would be great” i said. He pulled his hands out of his backpack and with it came a big bulky camera. It looked really fancy and it had a huge lense. “Whats that for?” i asked. He said “I'm in photography and i have to take nature pictures or whatever so I was thinking maybe we could walk around the neighborhood and take a couple pics?” I thought that was a great idea so without even saying anything i got up and started walking towards the front door “K lets go.”
Chapter 13: Josh go up and came to the door holding his HUGE camera and i opened the door and we walked outside together. The sun up and the birds chirping it was a perfect day to take some pictures. We started walking down the road and there were a couple trees scattered around and maybe a few flowers here and there but nothing that exciting so we kept walking not saying a word to each other. We started walking down the road until we got to a road that had a huge sign in front of it WELCOME TO GEORGIA PINE CHURCH. There was a hill down on the other side of the park, I used to play down there and there was a huge park right beside it but the park never did interest me because there weren't and slides & swings or even monkeybars. “Hey Josh why don't we go down to the park? you will get some pretty cool pictures down there.” Josh looked at me and said “I've never been to church…. am I welcome?” I didn't know the answer the that question so I stuck with “absolutely.” WE walked past the big sign and right to the church. The parking lot was packed with cars. OHHHH ya its a sunday I thought to myself. We started walking down towards the park and I thought when was the last time I was here? I couldn't remember when the last time i was here was, It's been a really long time because we never had time (according to my dad.) We were walking down the hill to the park and Josh was behind me. *Click* I heard the clicking sound behind me and i spun around to see Josh pointing his camera at the huge oak trees right next to where we were walking. They towered above us and looked like a canopy over this side of the park. Josh was looking at the screen of his camera, a smile on his face. “You need to come see this” he said. I walked over there and went behind him, looking over his shoulder. I looked at the camera screen and Josh adjusted the camera so that the angle I was looking from was better. The picture he had taken was so beautiful, the trees were So clear and you could almost see every crack and overlap of the bark. The sun was in the background of the tops of the trees. “how many pictures do you have to get?” I asked. “Umm around 10 i guess.” he said back. “well then…….. one down.” Josh smiled and started walking again. We got to the edge of the park where there was the largest tree in the park. There was one branch that was lower than the rest. Then i saw the swing. It was a wooden swing and had two decent sized ropes on both ends of the swing. I knew that this would be a good picture if he got the right angle. “hey why don't you take a picture over here. Josh walked over by me and said with an enthusiastic voice “ya this would make a good picture.” He stood back and snapped a few pictures *click* *click* *click* “Ohhhhh these are great!” He said with a smile. “Here” he said “look at these.” I walked over already smiling. The swing was so clear and you could see every last detail, the sun shone off the ropes and the tree looked perfect just like the last picture we took. “thats two” I said smiling. “you know I can take pictures of people to.” Josh said. then I saw something catch my eye. I turned around to see maybe 30-40 feet away there was a couple sitting on the ground. They were older and they both had a wine glass in their hands. That's what caught my eye I thought. Before i could tell josh that taking a picture of them would be a good pic Josh said “hey theres a pond over there do you want to go get a picture?” “well this isnt my project” he laughed a little and started off towards the pond.
Chapter 14:We walked to the pond and on the way there i realized that the grass was green… It was green! The sun was shining and the trees were growing. Flowers… BURSTS of colors everywhere. I have never really taken time to realize how beautiful everything is. Wow. Josh and I finally got to the edge of the pond *click* *click* *click* “wow” he said, but this time i didn't get to see them he walked around the pond a little more to the cattails *click* *click* *click.* “HONK” The sound scared the crap out of me! I turned around to see a goose in my face. He was flying and his wings were in my face, I didn’t know what to do! I couldn't see Josh and i wanted to stay cool and let the goose go away but it's hard to act natural when a goose is a ll up in your face! so I thought for a second what do i do? So after a long and hard discussion with my self conscious I decided to….. flip out. “AHHHHHH” I didn’t care if the whole world heard me! I just wanted this thing out of my face! Josh was yelling something, then i didn’t hear him anymore. What the heck is going on here!!! I didn’t want to hurt the good but it was time to get this thing out of my way. “MOVE!” and i swung my arm around and now the goose was on the floor, he was fine. I couldn’t see Josh anywhere. Oh my god I just need to get my thoughts put back together here. I looked up and saw the goose again. There weren't any geeses around here, Wait are they geeses or gooses or wait...WHAT Am I doing! Ok where is Josh. I looked around and i didn’t see him. There is NO WAY he ran away because of a goose! I ran towards the church again and up the hill i went. I started to run towards the road when I saw it. Oh my….. Not again. The black cadillac was right there in front of me.
Chapter 15:The black cadillac was sitting there right in front of me. The Hulk man was nowhere in sight. I couldn't see through the windows they were all black. There was pounding on the glass. HE'S IN THERE! OMG OMG OMG what do i do! *deep breath* Ok i am going to get him out of there. There was a crack in the driver side window. I looked around for a rock or a stick, I couldn't see anything. Ok i've never punched anybody before but i had the feeling that this would work. I wound up my fist and let loose towards that window. My fist hitting it with full force a tough blow went up my elbow ringing through my arm. Ok Maisey one more it's ok, you're going to get in there! I wound up and fired again but this time i smashed right through that window. The blow still came but this time it was worse and it just about knocked me over. There was black glass everywhere it scattered all around the ground and it was on the inside of the car to. My wrist was in so much pain. I needed to get Josh out of there. “Josh lets go!” Josh was in the backseat still had his camera around his neck and he had a terrified look on his face. All of a sudden out of nowhere there was a burst of pain from the back of my head. I was dazed and now i was laid outspread on the ground. There was a lady above me getting into the car. She looked tall from where i was and she had beautiful blonde hair that was up in a ponytail. When she turned to look down at me I saw she had pale skin and red bloodshot eyes. She wore a black zip-up sweatshirt and black leggings. I got to my feet faster than i should have because My head was causing me to feel like a magnet to the ground and so sure enough back down to the ground i went. I had to lay there again and think. I can't lose him to. My dad now Josh. No. This is not how this is going to end! I need to shake it off. I got myself to my knees. I think i broke my wrist And it's my right hand to I thought. Shake it off, your ok, just a scratch. ok I was on my feet and i was ready to show this lady that i'm a lot stronger than she thought. She was still standing outside of the car but she wasn’t looking at me, she had her head in through the broken window and she seemed to be talking to Josh. “HEY YOU!” The lady in the car turned around and and saw i was on my feet. “you had a fair warning that i was coming” she said “oh really” i said “yeah my husband offered you a car ride home. You and your mother turned him down and then brought him to an abandoned lot and poisoned him! and then you drug him to the middle of the road to die! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM!” she said to me with tears forming in her eyes “WE DIDN’T” and with my left hand i drove my hand right into her face. She was down and out, but she wasn't hurt enough to keep her there. “Josh we need to leave!” Josh started to climb up to the front seat when that lady came back at me but this time she was throwing punches to. “you're gonna have to do better then that girl!” she said her face turning bright red. “FINE” I yelled remembering something my dad taught me, I dove onto the ground just as she started running at me and I tripped her. She dove for the ground but caught herself right in front of the hill. “Ha nice try.” she yelled. “well then i guess you’ll be needing the grand finale!” i yelled back. she spun around and I drove my left hand right into her stomach which made her bend over then i wound up again and shot my fist right into her nose. She went flying down that hill at a million hours an hour. “Ok Josh times up lets get out of here! Josh now sitting in the drivers seat crawled out of the window and landed on the blacktop. He stood up and gave me a huge hug. He was almost crying “thank you” he said “not to break the mood or anything but we gotta go!” Both of us started a dead on sprint to the road that our houses were on. “Maisey this way!” Josh yelled from behind me, “What are you doing” I yelled trying to slow down. “She knows where you live so if we can get to the hospital then you can stay with your mom. Josh made a really good point, she does know where i live. “ok fine but you're not coming.” “what!?!?!” Josh was almost yelling. “I dont need you coming with me ok you will be stuck there with us and my mom won't like that very much so why don't you go home ok?” He looked at me and just nodded his head “fine” he started to walk towards his house but then he stopped. He turned around and looked at me, he walked back over to me and gave me another hug. “be safe ok?” “ok” “text me when you get home.” he said starting to walk away again. “ok bye” “bye” and Josh started to jog back to his house looking back at me every once in a while and smiling wow he is so cute! I thought No time for this lovey dovey stuff maisey you have to get to the hospital. I started walking, thinking about how much i just wanted to be at the hospital, safe and with my mom.
Chapter 16: I started walking towards the road with the abandoned house and everything was still a mess in my head. Ok im just going to think for a second. *sigh* ok so i went to the park, i took some pictures, i got attacked by a goose and i saved a really cute awesome guy from this evil lady (who i beat the crap out of). Well i think I have done a pretty good job… Yeah good job Maisey.
I passed the abandoned house not wanting to remember anything about it I just kept on walking until i heard the rushing sound of cars. I was waiting for the right time to run across the first lane on the highway when there was a car horn behind me. I spun around to see a black cadillac going 60-70 miles an hour behind me. Alrightieee not many options here now is there….there were no options whatsoever so I took off on a dead sprint across the highway, The lady in the black cadillac has lost her mind! I ran as fast as i could and i reached the middle of both lanes, I had just sprinted across a highway… wholy smokes. A small circle of grass that separated the two lanes. The cadillac behind me had no intention of stopping. Alright Maisey you have two options, go across the road and have a 50-50 chance of being crushed or you can turn around and have a permanent bumper dent in your forehead… OPTION 1… LET'S GO!! so across the second one i went when i realized all too fast that i had taken to long in between the two lanes because before I even knew it that cadillac was 2 inches behind me. And then a zap came, a flash of white and then...all black.
I awoke with a blinding flash of reality. For a quick moment everything was blurry…….then reality hit me. The blinding bright light of red and blue flashing lights from the ambulance and police cars surrounding me was petrifying. I saw the faces of many unfamiliar people above me, I noticed the lady and the men that had helped my father, their looks of fear upon their faces were immediately burnt into my brain, their hands right above my face, hovering side to side. I tried to come to my senses, where am I? Who am I? I couldn’t feel anything. But from the corner of my eye i could see a rolled over black cadillac crushed like a pop can and I saw yellow police tape all around me. I could hear someone yelling “Maisey Maisey!” I looked over to see Josh behind the yellow tape. Suddenly a tremendous pain right behind my eyes started to act up. A very loud pitch ring vibrated through my head as if someone has installed a fire alarm into it. I couldn't feel anything. i wanted to scream but I couldn't do anything. I felt helpless. Than in one quick moment the world went dark once more. I saw a bright light shining. It was blinding but for some reason i felt like i needed to get there. I couldn’t feel myself walking but the light kept coming closer and closer, almost there, BEEEEEEEEP “she’s a flat line I don't know what else to do!” And then the light was too bright and i fell into pure blackness.
Chapter 17: owwwwcchhh
My eyes fluttered open and the lights were so bright i had to squint my eyes. “Dr.Laysh shes up” I looked around and saw a young lady standing next to the bed holding me up, she had red hair barely noticeable by the way her face mask that nurses always wear, covered her face, the rest of her clothing was the same baby blue color, I tried to move my head but my neck felt stiff. I couldn’t feel anything, “ok Maisey I know you're scared but I can tell you what's going on.” I felt a little relief but a lot of fear. “Maisey you are in the hospital.” THE HOSPITAL! “Your mother is here but she is in with the doctor.” “Maisey your father was sent here right before you were and he lost too much blood while the doctors were working on his hand…...Maisey im sorry but hes gone.” I couldn’t feel my arms, legs, neck or middle but I could still feel the tears coming down from my eyes. “Ok Maisey now its time to talk about you, the doctor thinks you broke your wrist,your elbow and your collarbone before you got hit…. do you know how that would have happened? I didn’t know if i would be able to talk but I had to try. “I beat up a car.” It came out a lot clearer than i thought it would. “you…….you beat up a car?” she said “ya I did! what you don't believe me?!?” “well Maisey you honestly… had a small chance of living with the loss of blood and broken bones, you really were crushed and you are very lucky.” she said trying to change the subject, “Your father died bye loss of blood. But you…. you now have…” she looked down at her clipboard, you have a broken wrist, elbow and collarbone from before the crash.... well when you got hit by the car the you went over it not under it so your chances of living were much greater going over the car then being crushed by it.” “Maisey you actually should have died in that crash.” Right then the doctor walked in with someone. I was expecting my mother but in walked Josh. “You see this is why I was supposed to come with you!” I felt like he was trying to be funny but i was so tired and upset i couldn't even think about smiling. “Oh ya and hey, YOU NEVER TEXTED ME BACK!” This time I had to smile. Just then a nurse came in and told Josh he had a phone call. The doctor let Josh say goodbye then he walked back out with a nervous look on his face. I just wanted to cry, I just wanted to cry my eyes out until Josh walked back in. “hey Maisey” said the nurse. I looked at her and she started to speak again, a smile on her face, who was that guy?” “Josss” I felt stupid by the way that came out but my mouth just wouldn’t function how i wanted it to. “well back to you maisey… I am going to be honest with you,” right then the doctor cut in, “Maisey you didn’t break anything other than your wrist, collar bone, elbow and your hand it several places but that's already healing along with everything else, your elbow and hand have pins in them right now but they'll be out in a week. Your collarbone is currently being talked about by the other doctors, it should heal normally that will only take around 2 weeks and you should be up and running again, you have a cast on your arm because of all the places your shoulder to your hand are broken.” The doctor stopped talking, smiled, and walked out. Well then I guess i'm not dead so… just then I heard the nurse walk out and now i was by myself. I felt a little pain right next to my shoulder. owwwwccchhh…Yep this officially sucked big-time. I've always hated that freaking black car. I thought before everything went black again as I fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 18: I woke up and heard the same sounds I was expecting as I shook the sleep from my mind, the beeping sound of the machine that makes sure I have a heart beat and I felt the little clothespin looking thing on my finger. As I went to close my eyes again I heard a slight cough from the corner of the room and I nearly jumped so high I could have hit the ceiling, I looked over to see Josh sitting in a chair, his hands folded in front of him, his elbows on his knees, he was looking directly at the ground as if he was hypnotized. “hey” I said. Josh looked up, snapping out of his trance and said “hey how are you doing?”I thought I should probably say something funny just to break the mood a little “Oh you know trying to slow my heart rate down from the near-heart attack experience I had just went through when you coughed… how about you?” I said smiling. “I’m doin’ just fine maisey parker, just fine” He said with a sarcastic smile on his face. There was something bothering him and I couldn’t help but ask, “hey are you ok?” He looked back up at me said “umm yeah” and he put a pathetic smile on his face and he went back to having his elbows on his knees and his head hanging low, looking at the ground again. “fine dont tell me” I said trying to sound a little sarcastic. Josh picked up his head again and said “It's been nice knowing you maisey parker… but it’s time.”
Chapter 19: “time for what?” i asked. “Just forget about it” he said as he got up and started walking toward the door. When he walked out I just couldn’t take it all in. I hadn’t seen my mother yet, Josh just said the weirdest thing ever and I’m half broken. this sucks I thought. I reached up and felt the hard substance around my neck and down my arm to my hand, It didn’t hurt that bad and I wondered what drugs had been filling me up. Just then a doctor walked in but it wasn’t Dr.Laysh. “Hi Maisey I’m Dr.allison but you can call me Drake.” I didn’t know why he was here so I asked “why are you here… you aren't my doctor” He thought for a second and replied with “I believe I am supposed to inform you that are in trouble and it’s time to go.”
chapter 20:
“what do you mean?!?” A million thoughts were going through my head. Psycho murderer, serial killer, robber, other doctor, mcdonalds manager… I don't think he likes me. “Umm I don’t really want to be kidnapped or anything today.” I said with fire in my eyes ready to knock the crap out of this guy if he touched me. He started walking towards me and I tried to put out my arm to shield myself but that stupid cast was to heavy and I was too drugged out to move anything. He grabbed the little patches that were all over my body that read my heart rate and and blood sugar and more. HE ripped them off one by one, although I couldn’t really feel anything it still hurt to watch him pull them off so hard. He had an angry and nervous look on his face but I could tell he was in a rush to get something done. The curtain he had come through was completely opened and there was nobody around… NOBODY. I felt a sharp pain in my undamaged arm so I quickly took my eyes off the curtain and I saw the needle injecting my meds was no longer there, in its place was a shot with one of the longest needles I've ever seen injecting in this green liquid. The man had already taken the shot out of my arm before I could even think to make a move, just moments after that everything was blurring and I saw the door to the hospital in front of me then I saw the rain softly falling, the last thing I remember happening was seeing the door to an all too familiar black cadillac.
Chapter 21:I couldn’t think, I couldn’t feel, I couldn’t hear. I could see small blurs of color. I saw the rain on the windows of the car. I could see a man taking off a doctor's shirt and pulling the sleeves of his normal shirt down. I didn’t recognise this man at all, it wasn’t the hulk man and this was definitely a guy. I needed to try to figure out what was happening“Whe- Where are wuhh-... *deep breath* Where are we going?” The man turned around probably stunned that I was awake. “You're going to make me some money for a new car.” I was frustrated and ready to knock this guys head right off his shoulders. I looked down to my arm to find the cast was gone and my arm was numb. I thought that without the cast getting in the way I could get to this guy. Just then he said “I need some money to buy a new car because the one I currently have is looking like a crushed pop can!” He said with rage in his voice. “well this isn’t your car” I said before even thinking about the right words to say. He didn’t say anything back. I looked down to see that I was in my jeans, I had never really thought about looking to see what I was wearing at the hospital. I noticed my awesome lilo and stitch case and thats when I thought about texting someone! I felt stupid when I realized there was no wifi in the car. There was nothing in the car by me. absolutely nothing. The windows to the car shattered, just the way I left them. No glass shards though. You would have thought there would have been. The dents still in the side from when the driver decided to make me into a speed bump. We took a sharp turn and I heard gravel under the tires. I was in the back seat looking like a turtle, wondering where we were, what was going to happen and how I had gotten into this mess. I felt the car come to a hault. I saw the man get out of the car with the non-normal sound of the door… Because it was broken. The man opened the door that was right next my feet. It opened with a grinding sound that was like nails on the chalkboard. He grabbed my by my ankles and pulled me out of the car and onto the ground. I couldn’t feel it, I could just see it. I saw the rocks on the ground everywhere. I saw his hands pull away from my ankles and I saw him get back into the car and I saw the door close. “I’ll be right back… What’s your name brat?” He said his head out of the broken window. I wasn’t going to tell this guy what my name was! “Maddy” “Maddy Pepper” I said.
Chapter 22: Doing my best to not sound sarcastic altho if I could feel my... anything I would show this guy what it felt like to have a broken… EVERYTHING!“your name ain’t maddy pepper” “what… were you raised by dr.pepper?” he said with a chuckle “so tell me brat what’s yer name!!” the fierceness in his voice scared me a little. “I just told you moron!” I said sighing and laying my head against the ground. “Don’t get smart with me brat, if you don’t want to tell me your name fine but be ready for some skid marks across that pretty little face a’ yers!” I didn’t really want to be hit by the same car twice in the same day. “Well first of all I’m a little too young for you to be callin me pretty don’t ya think? Second of all if you're going to run me over for telling you my name then so be it.” the man sighed and opened the car door again getting out. I knew he wasn’t going to do anything to hurt me, I could tell he was deep in thought as he sat down on the road right next to me. I looked around and saw an old house with little detail. The house's roof was collapsed and there was no way anyone could even take a step into the house without the rest of it concaving. There were metal poles sticking out of the ground all around me and there was garbage everywhere, big heaps of broken counters, cupboards, fridges, tools, toys, toilets, anything you could think of was in that field. The man got up and sighed with a long exhale. “alright time for you to go snuggle up with your little buddy josh.”
The man walked over to me and wrapped one arm under my legs and the other arm disappeared behind me and his hand comes back around my neck. He lifts me off the ground and he starts walking, with me in his arms, toward the pile of garbage. He gets to the outer edge of the huge piles of garbage and he starts gradually moving around random garbage and other objects. He stops in between two rows of garbage. The only thing they're still in one piece is a shovel in which is broken right where the metal piece meets the wooden handle. The man put me down and grabbed the sticking-up handle and pushed it toward the ground revealing a tr pain from the back of my head. I was dazed and now i was laid outspread on the ground. There was a lady above me getting into the car. She looked tall from where i was and she had beautiful blonde hair that was up in a ponytail. When she turned to look down at me I saw she had pale skin and red bloodshot eyes. She wore a black zip-up sweatshirt and black leggings. I got to my feet faster than i should have because My head was causing me to feel like a magnet to the ground and so sure enough back down to the ground i went. I had to lay there again and think. I can't lose sprinted across a highway… wholy smokes. A small circle of grass that separated the two lanes. The cadillac behind me had no intention of stopping. Alright Maisey you have two options, go across the road and have a 50-50 chance of being crushed or you can turn around and have a permanent bumper dent in your forehead… OPTION 1… LET'S GO!! so across the second one i went when i realized all too fast that i had taken to long in between the two lanes because before I even knew it that cadillac was 2 inches behind me. And then a zap came, a flash of white and then...all black. head hanging low, looking at the ground again. “fine don't tell me” I said trying to sound a little sarcastic. Josh picked up his head again and said “It's been nice knowing you maisey parker… but it’s time.” Chapter 19: “time for what?” i asked. “Just forget about it” he said as he got up and started walking toward the door. When he walked out I just couldn’t take it all in. I hadn’t seen my mother yet, Josh just said the weirdest thing ever and I’m half broken. this sucks I thought.

He started walking towards me and I tried to put out my arm to shield myself but that stupid cast was to heavy and I was too drugged out to move anything.

I looked down to my arm to find the cast was gone and my arm was numb. I thought that without the cast getting in the way I could get to this guy. Just then he said “I need some money to buy a new car because the one I currently have is looking like a crushed pop can!” He said with rage in his voice. “well this isn’t your car” I said before even thinking about the right words to say.

The only thing they're still in one piece is a shovel which is broken right where the metal piece meets the wooden handle. The man put me down and grabbed the shovels end and surprisingly it opened leading to a tunnel of darkness. It was a trap door to darkness. He picked me back up and started towards the darkness beneath us.
Chapter 20:
Down a flight of stairs and into blackness. I heard nothing, I saw nothing, I was surrounded by nothingness. The man took a turn left and I could feel him trying to get into his pocket with his hands but he couldn’t with me in his arms. He put me down on the cold ground and got out what sounded like a pair of keys. He didn’t pick me back up. Insead he opened a door with the keys and pulled me by my wrists into a dark room. There is nothing on the floor… as far as I know. I hear a muffled voice and the sound literally almost makes me pee my pants. I know that sound. It’s Josh.
The man brings me up to a wall and wraps a rope around my waist. Loose enough to where I can breath but tight enough to the point where I can’t get out. I speak for the first time in about 15 minutes, “Josh! Josh I’m here! Josh I’m here!” I don’t know what else to say. Tears form and burn my eyes and I can’t help but let them fall. I go to say Josh’s name again, trying to get him to reply but instead I get a kick in the ribs by the man. Duct tape is around my mouth within 10 seconds of being kicked and I am officially screwed. My thoughts don’t last long before I hear a light umph sound and then silence. The lights come on and I can’t see anything for a couple seconds while my eyes adjust. When my eyes adjust I am stunned and crying when I see Josh sitting against the other wall tied and duct taped as I am, the only difference is I’m not the one bleeding.
