CHEYENNE

As I got off the plane I was approached by my father. I haven't seen him since I was 12 and now im 17. I would like to say im happy to see him but that would just be lying. "H-Hey Chey Babey!" He says with open arms. "Hey Darell." I say walking to baggage claim. "How was your flight from New York?"He asked me. "Okay, for a cheap flight." I sighed. "That's good, how's the city?" He asked me. "It's Harlem Darell. It's the same." I say looking for my bag. "We'll im glad you came to Cali..." He says. I sighed. "I'm only here for Spencyr. That's it."I say looking at him. He sighed and nodded. "I knew you were gonna say that sooner or later." He says picking up my suitcase before me. I looked at him and grabbed my suitcase. "I'll take you to the house and you can settle down there." He says walking to the exit. "Uh, thanks." I say following him.

On the way to the house I noticed it was more of a middle-class suburb area. A lot different from what im used to when living in an apartment majority of your life. It might take some time getting used to but we'll make it work. "And this is the house." He says pulling into the driveway. "Hmm, new wife new life huh?" I say admiring the house. "Not married Chey, I always told your mom I wouldn't get married again and I haven't." He says getting my suitcase out the trunk. I poked out my lips and nodded. Okay bud. "It's just me and Spencyr." He says and then he stopped. "Well just me." He sighs and opens the door... With a code. Do you not a key anymore?

As we walked in a huge dog came barking and charging at us. "That's Vis... Like Vision from the avengers?" He says kinda embarrassed. "Yeah I know who he is... Why that name?" I asked while rubbing Vision. "The spot in the center of his head kinda looks like the mind stone." He says smiling to himself. He really loves this dog. "Cute, where's my room?" I asked him. "Well your mom said you'd like a little bit more room, so I made the basement yours." He says walking to the stairs to the basement. "Cool, question" I asked him. "Hmm?" H says looking at me. "Can I smoke down there?" I asked him. His eyes widened like he was shocked. "I'll take that as a No, nevermind." I say walking downstairs to my new room.

There was a living room area as you walked down with a couch and tv on one side. There was two doors. I walked over to one and it was the laundry room. "Oh cute." I say nodding and closing the door. I opened the other door and there was my room. Vision came in and laid in the middle of my bed. "You like it here dude?" I say putting my suitcase on the bed. He started rolling around in my bed. I opened my suitcase and undid my clothes that were hiding my blunt and weed. "Don't tell him anything." I say pointing my pack of blunts at Vis. I opened th blunts and they were crushed... Great. Wait, there's a store not too far from here. I put the weed my bra, grabbed a few dollars and walked upstairs.

"Can I take the car to the store? I thought I packed pads but I didn't" I lie. "You have a license?" He laughed. I took it out from behind my phone and put it on the table. "Ooo New Yorker, yeah call me if you get lost." He says sliding the keys over. Idiot. "Will do." I say walking out the door. I unlocked the car and got in. As I got in my mom called me. "Hello?" I say answering. "Hi Honey  how was your flight?" She asked me. "It was fine, what are you up to?" I asked her. "Just clocked out at the restaurant, about to go home and pass out. How's your dad?" She asked. "He's Darell, im on my way to the store right now." I say. "Cheyenne you have to be there with your dad. You can't make excused to not be with him. Please find your sister and keep her safe. It's hurting him just as much as it hurts you." She says. I sighed and rubbed my nose. "Okay mom." I say. "I'm serious Chey." She says. "I know you are." I say. "Well, im about to get on the subway I'll call you later." She says. "Alright mom, love you." I say. "Love you too baby." She says before hanging up.

I pulled up to a liquor store and a two kids my age were sitting outside. One with curly hair and the other one with a ginger buzz cut. It's giving Mac Miller. I walked in the store and grabbed a Snapple, gummy worms, and a bag of  random chips. I walked to the front and the Ginger walked up to the counter. "You new?" He asked me. I looked up at him. "Yeah, just moved in." I say. "Can I get a pack of the tropical fusion and strawberry swishers?" I asked. He laughed and grabbed them. "You got an i.d.?" He asked. "Fez for real?" The curly haired girl says walking passed me into a freezer. Ayee that's dope. "I'm just fucking with you. Anything else?" He asked putting the blunts on the counter. "Nah, that's it."  I say pulling out my phone. "Three fifty." He says. I furrowed my eyebrows because that's like ten, twelve dollars. "You got the chips and drink?" I laughed playfully. "I did, three fifty." He says again. I laughed and handed him a five. "Can I get your name?" He asked handing me back my change. "No, but I'll see you around. Maybe you'll get my name then." I say grabbing my bag of goodies and walking out. "When?" He says behind me. I turned around smiled. "I'll be back." I say smiling and getting in the car.

"So its it different from here?" My best friend Kaiya asked over FaceTime. My eyes widened and I nodded. "Hell yeah. I got the basement to myself and I can't smoke in it." I say rolling my eyes. "Well duh, the smell will go in the vents up to the house." She says. "Thank you Miss Know it all." I say looking at her. "I'm sorry, any updates on Spence?" She asked. "We're leaving here in a minute to go look for her." I say. "Have you talked to her?"She asked. "A couple days ago, that's it." I say shrugging. "Did she seem off to you?" She asked. I shook my head. "Not her normal norm. Tells me about school, if she has a game or practice, what she's gonna do this weekend." I say. My dad came downstairs and pointed up. "Okay, I'll be up in a min." I say nodding. "Was that your dad?"Kaiya asked me. "Yeah, I gotta go."I say sitting up. "Okay, keep me updated. Love you." She says. "I will, love you too." I say hanging up.

I put on my crocs and walked upstairs. I walked in the kitchen and Darell was sitting on the counter waiting. "You ready?" He asked locking his phone. "Yeah, let's go." I say. "Grab Vis' leash, he can ride." He says grabbing his keys. I grabbed his leash an put it on him. As soon as I opened the door he dragged me to the car. "Damn boy!" I say catching up to him. Dad unlocked the car and he jumped in. I got in the front seat and waited for Darell. "Where are we going?" I asked him. "A couple of guys from work, your uncle's, and a few sheriffs are gonna meet at the ark and do a search for her." He says. "Where have you guys looked?" I asked him. "The school, Malls, friends houses yanno places she'd be at." He says. My little sister doesn't like malls so that was a waste of time. "What friends have you checked?" I asked him. "All but two. We're going by there tomorrow." He says. "Let me go." I say shrugging. "You're gonna have to go early." He says pulling into the park. "Okay." I say. "I'll send you their addresses in the morning." He says turning off the car. I got Vision out the car and followed my dad to his group of people.

He was handed a megaphone and stood on a table. "My daughter Spencyr Calloway has been missing for over fifty hours. She's 15 years old dark brown hair that goes half way down her back. Her last seen location was her the night of the football game and hasn't been seen since. We're gonna start here and then spread out!" He says. A silver fox looking of a man kept eyeing me down. I ignored him and pulled my hair back and walked Vis to the grass. "Hey im Nate." A tall jockey kid says coming up to me. Vision sniffed him. "Wassup Vis the Wiz" He says rubbing Vision. "Wassup?" I say nodding. "How are you liking East Highland?" He asked me. "Oh I love it, knowing that my sisters around here somewhere, absolutely love it." I say with a sarcastic smile on my face. "Shouldn't have asked that" He chuckles. "Yeah, I just got here so haven't seen much." I say shrugging. "Well if you need a tour guide I'll be happy to help." He says flashing a smile... Gross. "I'll keep that in mind." I say nodding and walking off.
