Chapter 2: Chapter 1.
(Maria POV)
As my eyes slowly open I hear a faint knock at my door, my mouth opens but before I can say anything the creak of my door creepily starts to open stoping my words for ever actually being said, as I wait for the door to open in my half asleep state I hear I low whisper
"Sweetheart, are you awake?" I hear my father say in a soft voice
"Yeah, I'm awake." as I start to get up my dad holds my shoulders, confused I look up at him
"Dad? What's wro-"
"Don't get ready for school today, come downstairs your mother and I want to talk about something." He says quietly whilst looking at me, after a short silence he smiles sadly and leaves my room,
"Just what the hell was that about?.."
As I collect my thoughts I start making my way downstairs, as I reach the bottom my older brother is starting to walk up we look at each other and he shows a sad look, the same one my father did this morning, the same one we all had on that horrific day a few years ago. Just what happened?.. I walk to the living room with my head filled with uncertainties as my mother and father sit in the sofa, looking closer I can see a faint redness under my mothers eyes, has she been crying?
"What's going on?" I ask cautiously as I sit on the sofa opposite to my parents,
They don't say anything for a while, just look at each other, look at me, then back at each other. After a while my father sighs deeply and looks at me
"It's about Max honey, something's happened."
My heart sank, I felt my body go numb, tears started welling up in my eyes even though I don't know what's actually happened, I slowly start to choke out my words
"Wha- what's happened? Dad? Is he okay? Mum? Is this why? Why you were crying?" My throat starts to dry and my words tumble out one by one, the feeling of despair gets stronger the longer my questions aren't answered.
"He's missing, it's been almost two days now. They haven't found a body but they suspect he's dead."
My hands clasp over my mouth as I force myself not to scream and cry out, we've been on a break from school so we haven't been seeing each other all the time, why? Why didn't I know until now? Does the rest know? Why hasn't it been on the news?
"Why? Why do they think he's dead? It's probably a mistake, yeah it's a mistake, he's probably just hungover somewhere, he probably drank too much and is at a friends house, he's fine, it's a mistake. It's- it's a mistake." I begin to shake as my words don't reassure me at all, I try to make myself feel better but it's just making me feel worse. My mother starts crying again as I'm unaware of my own tears, I crouch over as I lose control of my body I scream out like I was in physical pain, I can no longer control my breathing as I feel myself have a panic attack, my chest tightens and I feel like I'm being suffocated, my head throbs in my head like someone's smacking me over the head with a hammer, my eyes start to blur as my body goes limp, the last thing I remember is my father running towards me with a worried face.
It's a mistake.
He's fine.
Please. Please be fine.
