Linda..
I have been waiting for my mom for a long time now and she hasn't returned. I felt scared, hoping she hasn't done something stupid. I walked around the living room, kept looking at the time. It was almost midnight and my mom hadn't returned yet.
"Any news?" Aunt Alex asked, and I looked at her with tears in my eyes. I walked over to her as she pulled me into a hug to calm me down.
"It's okay, Linda. Nothing will happen to your mom, okay?"
I nodded, hoping all she was saying was true. Then my father rushed in with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Has she returned yet?"
I cried hard as I moved towards him, and he pulled me into a hug. Why would mom stay out so late? She has never stayed out late at this time before.
"Dad, do you think we should go out and look for her? I am scared that mom might be in danger. I am scared, dad. Please try calling mommy again, maybe she will pick up this time."
