don’t care if it pisses her off or if I read something I may not like. I know there is a real possibility that she will mention someone in there that the police can check out in case I’m wrong.
I go to her room without waiting for a reply from any of them and search for her diary. I haven’t read anything after the entry just before I kissed her so maybe she wrote something afterwards. Hopefully she didn’t take her diary with her. As I search through her desk drawers I find it sitting on top and I grab it sifting through the entries until I reach the last one I read and go to the one written right after.
It was of the day we kissed. As I read it I wish I could go back to that day. That was such an amazing day just because of that kiss. I want to go back and change how I acted and maybe it would change what happened yesterday. I read through smiling with the memory while my heart hurt because she isn’t here now. When I finish that entry I move on to the next and then the one after that and so on and so forth until I finish the diary. She wanted to tell me how she was in love with me on her birthday. I didn’t know what to think but I knew that I felt as though my heart was breaking because we never got a chance to tell each other just how we felt.
As I sat there and contemplated all I read I realized that there had to be more diaries somewhere. This one came up empty. No secret stalkers, no other crushes or boyfriends or even a guy that harassed her. It’s almost all just about her day and her love for me. Either she didn’t want to write it in her diary or nothing happened for her to write down in her diary. If that’s the case then this guy is good. He planned it. He knew her schedule and didn’t do anything that would give her suspicion. That means this guy is smart. That means I need to follow him and see what his habits are and maybe check out the places he frequents.
I search Sierra’s room looking under her bed, in her dresser and inside her closet trying to find more of her diaries. When I reached her closet I found a big box of her diaries and know that this could take some time. I decide to read only the latest diaries. I pull the box out, sit on her bed and start to read. I don’t know how long I sat in her room reading but it turned dark and I haven’t eaten anything or even moved from my spot on her bed. My back hurts from the position I was in for so long. I stretch feeling my muscles ache and my bones crack but the stress is still there. When I head down to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat nobody is around. I figure they are all in their rooms trying to hide just how scared they are for Sierra from each other. I don’t blame them as I do the same except for instead of being in my room I chose to stay in Sierra’s where I can wrap her scent around me. I feel closer to her there. I decide to sleep in her bed and not leave until we find her. The next two days continue in the same fashion before I decide it’s time to do something to help find her other than going through her diaries.
First thing I do is make it my mission to find out what Mr. Morris looks like. I wait at the school in the afternoon and search for his car as everyone leaves. Since the police have looked at the tapes, they couldn’t get a visual of the parking lot where Sierra’s car was parked because the camera was turned off but they did say that after school got out long before Sierra’s cheer practice was over, Mr. Morris was seen leaving the staff parking. That doesn’t mean that he didn’t wait until practice was over to swing back by and kidnap my baby girl. And that’s exactly what I think happen. I know it in my gut and in my heart that he has her I just need to prove it. My gut is never wrong and I know it’s not wrong this time either.
As I wait for him to walk to his car I receive a call and I answer without looking. “Shoot.”
“Hey. So I’ve been asking around to see if anyone has heard anything or
