>I take the cap off the bottle and plop the pill into my mouth. Doc changed the dosages, again. A quick swig of water and I lay back staring at the ceiling. Won't make me feel any better, I'm sure. I sigh and get up, heading into the kitchen. Mom and dad left breakfast out, they're busy most days.
>I have the leftover eggs and bacon and glance over. Couldn't be bothered to set something out for Amber? I sigh. Always up to me to take care of her I guess. I head over to her room and pound on the door.
>"HEY! BREAKFAST!?" I get no response. I sigh and pound again.
>"IF YOU DON'T ANSWER I'M COMING IN." That'll kick her into gear. Nothing like a teenage girl to not want you in her room. Still nothing. I start to worry.
>She alright? I grab the handle and hesitate. Shit it's worth getting yelled at. I rip the door open to
>A closet. What?
>I close the door and open it again. Nothing but hanging clothes and a few suitcases for travel. The hell? Did I somehow get the wrong door?
>I glance around and count, my room, parents, bathroom... Amber's
>And I'm standing in front of it. The hell?
>I quickly whip my phone out and open my messages. Surely she's still in there. I find her contact.
>I open our messages and...
>No replies. Ever. Each of my messages has an exclamation mark next to it. I tap it. Message failed to deliver.
>Not sure how they pulled this off but the delinquent group really is something else. I chuckle at how good they're getting me here.
>I open the group chat and my heart sinks. Same exclamations. No replies.
>I open Sera's contact. Same
>Cynthia, Maria, Melissa, Jack, even. All the same.
>Wow, they really got everyone in on it. Alright fair game. I won't speak to you at class, see how you handle that. I pocket my phone and march right on down to Volcano High, expecting to see Sera in my homeroom. She's not there. In fact there's a whole row of chairs missing.
