I was playing my favorite video game when the doorbell rang. I expected one of my brothers to go get the door, but none of them did. The doorbell rang again.
I slowly went to get the door. “I’m coming, I’m coming! Geez!”
I opened the door and a redheaded girl was standing there. “Who are you?” I asked.
“I’m Kira and I really need your help,” she said.
“I’m sorry, are you, like, hosting a neighborhood party or something?”
“It’s about Harley.”
My ears suddenly start listening to her. “What happened to him?”
“He’s missing. He ran away from my father yesterday and hasn’t been found.”
“I know my buddy more than anyone. I know he’ll probably be hiding in the woods. I’ll take you to his hiding spot from when we were kids.”
I ran outside, motioning for her to follow. “Thank you! Thank you so much!” she called.
We ran to the woods and Kira started calling his name. “Kira, look!” I said.
Inside a tree’s hollow root, Harley was laying on the ground. His forehead was soaked in blood and he looked like he had blacked out.
“Harley!!” Kira exclaimed.
My eyes started to well up with tears. That’s never happened before.
Relief spread through my body as Harley’s eyes slowly opened. “K-Kira?”
“Harley!!!” we both shouted.
“We need to get you to your house, stat,” Kira said.28Please respect copyright.PENANA392lQDk7fg
