I grabbed my phone, looking through my contacts. I called Cecy. "Hey Dannie...I tought you were mad at us..." I broke down into tears. "Dannie?!?!?!" What's wrong love?" I couldn't even speak, I was crying so hard. "Dannie calm down. I took a few deep breaths trying to calm myself down. "Okay, now tell me what's the matter love."

"W-well...my pare-ents...th-they never came home...I-I'm scared some-thing happened to them...." She sighed softly. "You poor th-"

"But that's not all..."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I-i saw two ghost-like figures that looked exactly like them..."

"It was probably a hallucination..." I sighed. "Prehaps..."

"Well happy birthday Dannie..."

"Yeah...thanks Cecy..."

"I have to go. I hope your parents return safely..."

"Bye Cecy...."

"Bye Dannie..." She hung up and I sighed. I called Karla. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNIE!!!" I sighed "Sure it is..."

"What do you mean?"

"WELL FIRST OF ALL NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA WHERE MY GIRLFRIEND IS, SHE COULD BE DEAD FOR ALL WE KNOW!!! MY PARENTS HAVEN'T BEEN HOME FOR THREE DAYS!!! AND I BARELY REMEMBER WHO ANYONE IS!!!"

"Woah...Dannie calm down..."

"NO I REFUSE TO CALM DOWN, TRY TO PUT YOURSELF IN MY POSITON!! WHAT IF YOUR BOYFRIEND WENT MISSING AND YOUR PARENTS DISPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN REMEMBER YOUR OWN NAME OR ANYTHING!!!" She sighed. "Dannie you po-"

"NO JUST SHUT UP, DON'T EVEN START WITH YOUR PITY, I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY!!!!" She hung up, I had a smile plastered on my face. "They think that they can just pity me don't they? They don't think I can handle this. They think I'm not strong enough to deal with my emotions do they? Well that's fine, I'll deal with them...I'll make sure they know I don't need their pity." I ran downstairs, I ran into the garage, looking through the shelves. Then I found what I was looking for. My fathers old hunting kinfes, I grabbed one and put it in the pocket of my hoodie. I walked outside, slowly trudding down the streets of the town. I was early in the morning still so everyone was heading to work, so no one found it off that I was out. I walked to Karla's house, my hood covering my face in shadows, but the large grin on my face was most likely noticable. I knocked on the door calmly and forced the smile off my face. Karla opened the door. "Dannie? What are you doing here?" I smiled innocently. "What I can't just stop by a friends house? I'm lonely..." I pouted slightly, looking down. "But I understand if you hate me now." Karla shook her head quickly. "No, no I don't hate you. I could never hate you Dannie. I just didn't expect you to come here since you were mad at me..."

"Oh that? No...I'm just not in the best mood..." She nodded. "I see that...you should come inside..." I nodded, smirking slightly. "Okay." She didn't seem to notice the smirk and stepped aside, letting me in. I stood there, staring at her and gripping the handle of the knife in my pocket. "Hold on, I'll be right back." Karla walked away, to the bathroom. I pulled the knife out of it cover. "Stupid....I'm not to be trusted..." I quickly put the knife back in my pocket as I heard her coming back. Karla looked at me, smiling. "Hey Dannie, you said you forgot a lot of things right?" I nodded. "Yeah,what about it?"

"Well what did you ever remember?" I nodded. "Yes, but not much...just who everyone is...nothing to important..." She nodded. "If you say so..." I nodded. "Yeah..."

"So you don't remember the arguement?" I shook my head. "No, what happened?" Karla shrugged. "I'm not exactly sure, I think Cecy knows though." I nodded. "Okay I'll just go ask her later then." She shrugged. "She should be here soon...." I nodded, rubbing my finger against the side of the blade, careful not to cut my finger. "I see." Karla turned around starting to walk to her room. I quickly pulled out the knife, grinning widely. Karla looked at me, her eys widening. "D-dannier what are you doing!?!?!" She grabbed my arm before I could hit her. I stabbed her hand, causing her to scream in pain and let go. "DANNIE!!!" I chuckled. "Yeah Karla?"

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?!?!"

"Well to teach you a leason of course...I never needed your pity, and I came to show you that. I'm not letting you go until you understand that." My grin got wider, as I started to laugh. "It's funny really...I came here excepting to have mercy on you, but I can already tell this will be way more fun with you than it was with my parents. Karla you silly fool." I lifted her chin with the knife. She gulped, staring at me. "Dannie....please..."

"You expect me to have mercy on you? Because you're weak and defenseless against me?" I heard the sound of a gun being loaded and felt something press against my head. "Dannie, drop the knife." I heard Cecy's voice from behind me and I willingly dropped the knife. "Cecy...I was just joking, you know I'd never hurt a soul..." She slapped me with the gun. I snapped back to reallity, laying on the floor and just staring at them. I felt tears fill my eyes. "....I think I know where Ali is..." They tilted their heads. "What?"

"But first I need to know what happened between the two of us." Cecy looked at me, sighing. "Well you and Ali were mad at each other, I never knew why though because I wasn't there when you two first started fighting. But you were saying Alison never pays attention to you when you want to tell her something." I sighed. "Oh...is that it?" Cecy shrugged. "That's all I heard..." I nodded, standing up and taking the knife. "Well bye, I'm going to get Ali...." I left, starting to walk home. I stepped into the house, I felt a cold rush of air and I remembered everything. I grabbed a flashlight and some batteries, putting the batteries in the flashlight. I put my hand on the basement door, slowly opening it. I turned on the flashlight and walked down the creaky steps slowly. I pointed my flashlight to the middle of the room and what I saw made my eyes fill with tears.
