When I woke up it was 8:00am. I quickly jumped out of bed, I was already running half an hour later than usual. I threw on some clothes, brushed my teeth and hair then dashed down the stairs.
When I got down Mike was there.
"Ohhh you came too see me did youu?" he asked so drunk he was starting to fall over. I felt sorry for the poor guy but I didn't dare help him.
"No I came to get breakfast. Where's my sister anyways?" I asked curious to know. I hadn't seen her since yesturday morning.
"Sleeping, which means we can have aa littllee funn" he said smiling.
"Get a life Mike!" I told him then walked over to the cupboard where I grabbed the cereal.I hate having to be so mean to him. Hes like a 5 year old in my eyes, but I can't let him get close to me for fear of the problems I'd have with my sister.
I quickly made a bowl of frosted flakes then sat down in the living room to eat them. Where's Josh, I thought. Hes almost always down here before me. I started remembering the image I got in my head yesturday. I felt like screaming on the inside. What if something happened to him? I asked myself. Eventually I calmed down and reasoned with myself. I'll check his room if hes not down by the time I leave, I thought which left me peaceful so I can eat.
When I finished my frosted flakes I threw on my jacket. Then I remembered the deal I made with myself, so I started walking to Josh's room. When I got there his bed was empty. That's weird, I thought. He must be ditching school today, so he left earlier than usual. Yeah, that's it. Its not like something bad happened to him, right? That can't be, he was here yesturday! He'll be back smoking pot when I come home. With that I went back downstairs put on my shoes and left to go to school, but on the way there I couldn't shake off the horrible feeling that something bad must have happened to Josh.
