"Biggest Mistake" by Valerie P.

      ”Please Dad, how do you expect me to be social and at least try to fit in if you don't even let me go to a party that is only like 2 miles away” I said in an impatient tone.

      “Really Veronica do you actually think I am going to let you go to a party where there is obviously going to be drugs and achohl, no your out of you mind” .

     ”If mom was still here with us she would of let me go” I said at the same time running to my room. 

     When I was about eleven years old my mom was diagnosed with bone cancer. About two years later the chemo stopped working and the next thing you know I am at her funeral surrounded by people crying and her loved ones  . Since then my whole life was turned around. My dad thought that moving to a different city would be a fresh start , but like always he was wrong . I started to become really emo and hanging out with the wrong people and doing the craziest things. “ I am not staying at home again on a Friday night , no way” I said to myself. I locked my door got my purse and sneaked out using the window leading to the front lawn. It was already 7:00 so I decided to take the short cut which was on a deserted road. I continued walking when I noticed that a white truck was following me . I turned the corner hoping he still wouldn't be there , I turned around slowly making sure he knew I wasn't expecting anything yet he was still there. So I decided to make a run for it when I noticed he was right behind me catching up to me and the last thing I remember was being thrown in the truck of the white truck.”

     At about 7:00pm a girl under the name Veronica Hastings was kip napped heading to a friends party if you have any information about her disappearance people call the number listed below” I was woken up by the tv going on in the other room. It took me time to process that all of that happened under a hour and I still couldn't believe that I could die due to one simple mistake. I tried to feel if I still had my phone which was luckily still there in my back pocket of my pants. Using all my strength I pushed my self to the side and took my pants off with my legs and through it over my head with my mouth I got my phone and dialed the only person in my head .

      “Dad! I'm sorry I don't know what to do please help me I'm scared”

     .”it's okay just breathe do you have any idea where you might be , do you hear any music or anything familiar” . 

     “Umm the only thing I could hear is circus music like they used to play at the annual circus “ I said in a frighten voice. 

     “ I know exactly were you are I'm on my way with the police “ . I layed there still waiting to hear the sirens to a police car and my dads footsteps running to hug me,yet it  never came.
