INTRODUCTION

This story takes place on January 19th- January 23rd, 2015. This whole story goes on in the place of New York and takes place in the fictional town of Grainsbourg. This story focuses on Colson Matthews, an eighteen year old male who has recently discovered his best friend, Maxine Taylor, has gone missing. As stupid as it may sound, he wants to solve this case to find out where she may have gone, but not without someone tagging along, Megan Pryler. They'll try their best to find out what happened, together.








Chapter One: News

I'd be on a couch, drinking a cold glass of water. The TV was currently on a sports channel, specifically football. I'd turn off the lamp right next to me, as it was nighttime that this had happened at.

Me: "Honestly wondering if I should sleep."

I yawned, I was pretty tired, but that's when I had gotten a text. It was from my bestie, Maxine. It said this:

"Hey, I'll be going soon, bye."


I was super confused as to what she meant. Maybe she was hanging out with her girl friends? Probably, she was the type who partied a lot. I texted back:

"Alright, stay safe Max."

I then decided to put my phone away, after about fifteen minutes though, there was no text back from her. She was probably just partying.


I was about to sleep, but I fought the urge, and man am I glad that I did. If I had gone to sleep, I would have missed some very important news. I decided to turn the channel over to display the news, not even hours after she had texted me, she had gone missing.


Me: "..Maxine? What happened to you? No no, this can't be real right? How could she? No, not her-"

I leaned forwards, the picture shown right next to the reporter had been one of her most recent. I know because she liked to send her selfies to people, like a lot.

It was one of her things I guess. Anyways, after learning of that news, I turned off the television relatively quickly. I went over to my laptop in my room and opened up my phone, I clicked on the picture and downloaded it. Man I sure am glad that she had sent that photo to me. She probably sent it to other people too though, since she had a selfie habit.


Me: "Alright, missing person posters, right…."

I sent the photo over to my computer, opened an app and started making some, just a few. After that was done, I printed them out and they were ready to go. Now, I needed my sleep.

Me: "This whole thing starts tomorrow.."


I lay my head on a pillow, and go to sleep. It'd probably be hard, knowing that she was still missing, but I'm not the world's greatest detective. I needed to get to the bottom of this.














Chapter Two: Beginning



I wake up with sweat all over my face, I take a heavy breath and get up. Having a nightmare about finding her dead wasn't exactly something I was looking forward to. I shake my head and quickly find some clothes to take a shower with, maybe that will help me with all the thoughts swirling around in my head right now. I doubt it.

Me: "No way, she's not dead, she can't be. I'll find her and bring her back alive."

After saying that a few more times, I splash some water on my face. I don't know how'd that help, but I did it. Taking a shower helped…. none. I sigh and put my clothes on, I then take my bag and place the posters from yesterday in them. I'd place them up at lunch, I take a deep breath before heading over to my school.

Skip fifteen boring minutes of walking and I'm here, barely on time as well. As you could imagine, the whole school was talking about the "kid who had gone missing". My friend who had been there for me for years, I hadn't done much to pay her back either, I needed to show that I cared for her. Plus, she was my frickin' bestie, how could I not go trying to find out where she went? Just in case you were wondering, I went to the College of Grainsbourg, yes that was the name, deal with it. I sighed heavily as I looked around the school.

None of these people cared as much as I did, no one did. They wouldn't go on a whole investigation looking for her now would they? I shook my head, I was just hurt. Knowing that she was missing and all, but maybe if I keep telling myself I'll find her alive. Enough thinking, the bell for the first class had rung. I get over there as quickly as I can.

On my way there, though. I accidentally...
