Colby

Sam

Aaron

And I

All sitting upstairs

In Colby's room

Just laughing

Doing silly things

All for Sam's video

I've never laughed as much as I have before

Until we heard the doorbell ring

Everyone looked at each other

Confused

"I'll get it." Colby said

For once I didn't mind Colby leaving me with these people

They've grown on me

Made me feel safe

Although I watched Colby walk out the room

And heard him walk down the stairs

I didn't worry

These people made me feel safe

Accepted

I liked that feeling

It wasn't often I got to feel that way

That was until I heard yelling from downstairs

Sam and Aaron looked at each other

Rushing out of the room

Sam stopped at the doorway

Looking back at me

"Nate, stay here." He said

Already out of breath

I didn't know what to do

So I listen to him

I quickly closed the door

I didn't bother locking it

But I put my ear up to the door

Listening closing

More screaming

I couldn't tell what was going on

Who was screaming?

I was so scared

And so confused

I didn't understand

That happens often

Until I heard multiple steps rushing up the stairs

"Where is he?" Someone said

"Huh? Where is my son?"

No

Oh God No

No no no no no no

This wasn't happening

Not today

Not now

NO

"Calm down!" I heard someone yell

"Let's talk this out first!"

"We didn't kidnap your son!"

What was going on?

"Where is he?" Another voice

"Stop! STOP!"

I heard rushing to Colby's room

The room I was in

Before I could react
