The Secret by Nicole Silver (best books for 20 year olds TXT) 📖

all you have to share with us today Miss Silver?" "Yes that is everything that I have to share." I walked back to the bench and sat down; a million thoughts were going through my head. I was so tired when all of Louis friends and all the people who were right next to the nerdy group said what they had to say (by the way every witness on Louis side said the same thing). When it was time for John Smith and his witnesses to tell their side of the story everyone's was different so the judge knew that the nerdy group was lying. "I hereby claim that the Tomlinson's have won this case and John Smith will be put in a juvenile hall, and his parents will have to pay the charge of $2,000. I hereby declaire this court hearing over you may go about your normal routines now." 

*******************************************************************************

I finally got home and I was so tired I didn't even bother taking a shower (which I have to do every night and morning), i got into my flannel pjs and crawled under the covers. I didn't even know when I fell asleep, I just know that I woke up and it was 12:00 in the afternoon. I walked downstairs to the kitchen because I didn't eat dinner last night so I was hungry. My mom was in the kitchen and she was making a grilled cheese sandwhich and a can of tomato soup. "Morning mom how are you this afternoon?" "Oh I'm good sweetie, but the real question is how are you? What happened yesterday? You came home said hi and then went to bed." "Oh I was so tired but the Tomlinson's won the courthearing. And John Smith is in a juvenile hall. He admitted at the end that  it was a dare and he did enjoy it." "Oh my sweetie that's horrible. I can't believe someone would do that he's such a sweet boy." My mom and I ate lunch and then I took a shower; I got dressed in 5 minutes and was walking towards the theater room when my little sister came out. "Hey Andrea how are you?" "Sissy what happened to Louis? Is he okay? Why didn't you eat dinner last night?" "Oh Andrea I know you're curious, but Louis fine now and I was just really tired." She ran to her room and slammed the door, Oh no what if she thinks that no one wants her to be part of this? I mean it has nothing to do with her so she shouldn't be worrying,  I thought. I finally made it to the theater room without anymore interruptions; I got my favorite movie Twentyone Jumpstreet. I fell asleep watching it, because when I woke up the screen was black which meant it was off. and I was on the floor with a pillow and blanket. When did I fall asleep? and where did the pillow and blanket come from? I thought. I got up and everything went black.

What's Happening?

    I woke up in a strange room and I realized that I wasn't in my house anymore (we don't have brown walls with mold on them). "Hello is anyone there?" I thought I heard a noise; I saw stairs and realized that I could get out of this place. As I made my way up the stairs I heard something from the down below; I ran up the last few steps and made my way to the kitchen. I saw a door and it was open; I quickly ran outside and found myself on the sidewalk. I still had my phone with me, so I started running away from that disgusting filthy house. When I had a good distance between myself and the house I took out my phone and called Renee, "Hey girl I"m so scared, I don't know what's happening and I need a ride home." "I'm on my way just tell me what street you're at." "I'm on Parkway road hurry and then I'll tell you everything that happened." She got to me in record time and I hopped into the passengers seat got my seatbelt on and we started driving away. "So tell me what the heck happened. I want to know how you got there."

        Flashback

I was only 4 when the accident happened. I was in my room playing with my dolls when my dad came running and he grabbed me and my favorite stuffed animal. He ran out of my room and took me to the basement, I had no clue what was happening I was so scared I starting crying. "Where's mommy? I want mommy!" "I have to go get her you stay right here and don't move."  He ran up the stairs and was yelling "Grace where are you?" Finally he came back down to the basement by then I had hidden myself in a corner. I crawled out and mommy wasn't there. "Where's mommy? Is she okay?" "I don't know the answer to either of those questions." "Daddy what's happening? Why are we in the basement?" "There's a little problem going on outside and we don't want to be part of it. There's a tornado and we don't want to get taken away do we?' "No I don't, but I want mommy." "Sweetie listen everything's goin to be fine your mother will find a safe place to hide. For now crawl through that hole in the wall it will lead you to  big room stay there I will be right back. Daddy left to close and lock the basement door, I crawled as fast as I could through that hole and when I got out I was in a huge room. Daddy finally came in after me and he started sealing up the hole "MOMMY!" I was bawling at that point. "Just follow me we'll find her once this whole thing is over" This was the most scariest day of my life I didn't know what was going to happen. Daddy was crying and he didn't know what to do (He never payed attention to what my mother said when something like this would happen and she wasn't around) I was so scared I was shaking and crying, I didn't know if my mom was going to be okay and I didn't know where she was. Daddy finally got a hold of himself and he grabbed me and ran into a tunnel "NOOOOOOOOO I WANT MOMMY!" "Just let it go we will find her when the tornado's gone!" I heard things being lifted up off the ground above our us, I didn't want to go to safety if mommy wasn't safe. When it was finally over we ran outside and started looking for mommy, I found her she was hiding in an alley, but there was something wrong I could sense it (I have some supernatural powers nobody knows except for my parents). I can see the future. I also get flashbacks about that night and other things it's always bad things never good I don't no why that is.

        "Jade are you there? Jade what just happened?" I finally got back to reality, "Oh that was nothing just a little headache." She took me home and my parents were waiting for me; "Oh my goodness you're safe we had no clue where you went." Well I was in the theater watching She's The Man, and I fell asleep. I woke up and there was a pillow under my head and a blanket over me, then I was knocked out like someone was trying to kill me. I woke up in a weird strange house with mold on the walls, I ran up to the kitchen and heard a noise coming from somewhere else in the house and I ran out the front door, and kept running until I was as far away from the house and called Renee." "We'll have to call the police because nothing can happen to you because of that thing that I told you when you were little." They called the police and they got to my house in record time. Knock Knock someone was knocking on the front door, my mother opened the door and two police officers stepped inside the house. "Hi my name is officer Stacey and this is my partner officer Stanley." "H-h-h-hi" I managed to muster, I was so scared at that point I could barely speak. The officers and I went to the living room and we sat down (I was shaking so much that my mother had to to give me a soft fuzzy blanket. "I don't want you to be scared we just want to ask you some questions about what happened and what will happen when we find out who's living in that house you said you woke up in." Officer Stacey told me, she seems nice; I hoped that this wouldn't take too long because Louis wanted to come over and stay the night with me to make sure nothing happened to me again (he's so sweet). Officer Stan started to ask some questions, "Where were you before you woke up in that strange house?" "I was in the theater room watching Twentyone Jumpstreet."  "Well for one thing I was in my theater room and I fell asleep. When I woke up there was a pillow under my head and a blanket over top of me. Then everything went black and I ended up in a house with mold on the wall and I heard some noises and ran out of that house faster then ever before and called you as soon as I was far away from it."Well I have some advice you should always have someone with you even if you're in your own house. You should always have a plan for something like this.'' "But Renee I don't want to do that you know how much I panic if there's a plan and it's not going according to what was said."Oh I know that and understand that you are how you are because of a certain thing from your past which you have never told me. Would you like to explain that to me?" "Well that's something that I'm going to have trouble explaining also please don't freak out. Lets go to my house and we'll chat in my room." 

        We drove up to my house and ran through the door, up the stairs, and into my room I shut and locked the door. There was no one else in the house but us two, but I wanted to be safe. "Well here goes nothing.....

(back to that horrible day) I was only 4 when the accident happened. I was in my room playing with my dolls when my dad came running and he grabbed me and my favorite stuffed animal. He ran out of my room and took me to the basement, I had no clue what was happening I was so scared I starting crying. "Where's mommy? I want mommy!"
