Loss & Lust

    All that was heard was the silent, desolate screams coming from my house, as I was pulling into the driveway. I rushed to put my car in park, and bolted towards the door. When I got into the house, my parents weren't even their. As a matter of fact no one was.  I found it rather odd because my parents car was parked in the garage when I arrived home.  I called my mom's phone, and found it under the tv stand.  My mom would leave her phone in weird places, but I would never think of her leaving it under the television stand. It is almost like she dropped it, and didn't get a chance to pick it up.   That made me get suspicious of what actually happened.                                                                    - A month later-     "Anna, Honey", Called a voice from the past.  I turned to see my Aunt Margery, and boy was I happy to see her. I hadn't seen her in almost two years, and that was because she was told to stay away from us, by my dad. I could never understand why she wasn't allowed around though. Maybe it has something to do with the disappearance of my parents.     " Hi, Aunt Margery! How are you?" I replied with the joy apparent in my voice.    We then talked about my parents, and all of the stuff going on with the investigation. The cops told me to start planning for the worse, since they haven't seen any sign of either of my parents. I haven't heard anything from my mom or dad either, and it is getting to be very scary. Like there is potential that I could never see them again. What if they are dead? No, I can't think like that! They are still out there, and the cops are bound to find them. In fact they will just come walking through those doors at any minute now.  Then she asked the question that made my heart stop. This question just made my gut begin to wrench.          " Do you think that your parents are dead?" She asked     I wasn't even sure how to respond to that. My tears began to well. I was both pissed and hurt that she would even consider that happening. My parents are obviously out there and alive. I still can't figure out why everyone is thinking of the negative.     " Why would you even think of that?" I stated with pure rage in my voice.    " Well there is a very high chance that if  a person is missing this long that they are dead", She morbidly stated.      " Why are you always so morbid? They are alive!!! I can feel just feel it" I replied      " Whatever you say. Well I got to take off, I'll talk to you later. Keep me updated okay" She said as she walked out the door. I have a feeling that will be the last I will see of her for quite some time. I can't say that I am honestly upset about that. I mean don't get me wrong, I love my Aunt to death. She just carries a dark and ominous aura around her. I almost feel as though she is always hiding something from me, and I can't pinpoint out what. She is mad at me at the moment since I got all snappy and defensive with her. But come on, who wouldn't be pissed . I mean I am trying to keep a positive out look on this, and here she comes with all of her negativity. I will keep her updated though. She deserves to know about her sister, and what is happening.      Maybe if they would just find them, then I could actually get some rest. I haven't been able to sleep or work in weeks. Every time that I close my eyes, I remember what it was like having my parents around. Sure I am an adult, but when they were here everything in my life made sense.  All of the memories that I have with them play back to back.  one of my favorite memories with them is when we travelled to the Grand Canyon. I took a picture that makes it look like my mom is being pushed of the canyon. Of course it was a joke. I was thirteen at the time of this. I miss them more than I ever thought that I would. When I was younger I used to be embarrassed by my parents, and never wanted them to meet my friends. Now I would give anything in the world to have them come back and embarrass me to death. I wish sometimes that I could just forget everything. It is eating me alive. I just need to hear anything from my parents. I don't even care what they say, I just need to know that they are okay.
