1.
"Where
could
she
have
gone?"
I
mused
to
myself,
feeling
a
small
knot
of
worry
forming
in
my
chest.
】
2.
As
the
hours
turned
into
days,
my
concern
for
her
safety
only
grew.
】
3.
"I
hope
she's
okay,"
I
said
aloud,
though
it
felt
like
I
was
talking
to
no
one
at
all.
】
4.
Memories
of
our
last
conversation
replayed
in
my
mind,
searching
for
any
clues
as
to
her
whereabouts.
】
5.
The
silence
from
her
social
media
accounts
spoke
volumes,
leaving
me
with
an
ominous
feeling
in
the
pit
of
my
stomach.
】
6.
Every
notification
on
my
phone
made
me
jump,
my
heart
racing
in
anticipation
of
news,
any
news.
】
7.
The
police
assured
me
they
were
doing
everything
they
could,
but
it
was
little
comfort
when
my
best
friend
was
still
missing.
】
8.
It
was
like
she
vanished
into
thin
air,
leaving
no
trace
of
where
she
could
have
gone.
】
9.
My
mind
couldn't
help
but
jump
to
worst-case
scenarios,
fearing
the
worst
while
still
hoping
for
the
best.
】
10.
The
search
parties
seemed
endless,
but
I
knew
we
couldn't
give
up
until
she
was
found.
】
11.
I
couldn't
shake
the
feeling
that
someone
was
watching
me,
knowing
more
than
they
let
on.
】
12.
We
combed
through
her
social
media,
her
texts,
her
calls,
trying
to
find
any
clue
to
her
whereabouts.
】
13.
The
days
blurred
together,
time
seeming
to
stretch
on
forever
without
any
answers.
】
14.
Every
knock
on
the
door
sent
my
heart
into
overdrive,
hoping
it
would
finally
be
news
of
her
safe
return.
】
15.
I
felt
like
a
shell
of
myself,
consumed
by
worry
and
fear
for
my
friend.
】
16.
It
was
like
a
piece
of
my
heart
had
disappeared
with
her,
leaving
me
feeling
incomplete.
】
17.
I
knew
I
had
to
hold
onto
hope,
no
matter
how
faint
it
may
seem,
for
her
sake
and
mine.
】
18.
The
waiting
game
was
a
cruel
one,
but
it
was
all
we
could
do
until
more
information
came
to
light.
】
19.
"Please
come
back
to
us,"
I
silently
begged,
hoping
beyond
hope
that
she
could
hear
me.
】
20.
Though
every
day
that
passed
made
me
feel
closer
to
the
edge,
I
refused
to
give
up
until
she
was
found.
