The Missing Family

"Don't be scared you dumbass!!" Andy shouted at me. I, as always decided to ignore him.

"Hey look that loser is moving around." Some girls muffled and then laughed.

"Can't you just die?" A boy threw a pen at me it hit my head. I have become a daily topic for everyone to pick on me and bully me. *Sigh* can't be helped.

It was my fault at last.

.

----- 1 week before ------

.

"Pick up that bag Liam!" My dad screamed at me. that made my boy jump in horror. The Nintendo that was in my hand was just about to fall off because of my dad panicking me like that.

"Keep that garbage box inside, come here and help us like your sister Reena is doing." My mom also. that made me irritated. calling my Nintendo 'garbage box?' what an insult.

"Tsk!" I made that sound. Placing Nintendo carefully into my backpack that was hanging down from my back.

I moved towards our Chevrolet Cruze. our car was moved over to the side of our new house.

Yes, we moved here to Ohio from Indiana. we need to transfer our house because of my dad. Just because he got a good job here we all had to transfer from Indiana to here in Ohio.

I was moving to our Chevrolet Cruze with my hands in my pockets. then! the thing I hate the most, even though my life is already ruined I still hate this thing very much.

My older sister who is 17 moved past me holding two luggage bags in her hands, it should have been good if she had just moved away but nope!

"Bleh~" Reena smirked at me and then used her tongue to mock me. "Mom let me take that for you. wait I will just come after I keep these bags." Just trying to show off. Reena likes to put me on the bad side of my parents all the time.

It is a daily routine I think. or she has just made it her mission. Daily quest to make me feel like a loser in front of mom and dad every day. Well to tell the truth I have kinda got used to it. I just ignore her.

"Oh~ thank you, my dear child." Mom said showing her affection towards my sister. I again tsk-tsked. I lifted my head I had already reached the Chevrolet Cruze.

"Hm!" My mom hummed a quick and rude hum. I looked at her, she frowned at me and then glared.

But why glare at me?

Dad was helping mom to take out the bags from our car's trunk.

Reena had already gone inside the house.

That was a new untouched 2 stories house. it was old but I liked it somehow. it was a ranch style house.

My back was now facing the house. I gasped.

'My eyes are not playing a game on me, are they?' I thought. I felt my body covered in horror. My eyes were big.

'Before turning to the car, I-I saw someone in the room of the second story.' I looked down and was amazed to see my hands were trembling no only that my whole body was!!

"H-hey, dad." I found my words somehow. Dad hummed me a reply. He was too busy taking out those bags. "You are sure no one is in this house?" I asked. My words were shaking.

Dad stopped his work and turned his waist to me. He gave me a sly look that made a chill run down my body.

"What exactly are you saying? this house is all ours." Dad answered rudely.

"Then then what was that? The person I saw glaring at us from the window of the first floor? H-he was peering at us by sliding the curtain." I asked him. but he seemed way too much irritated.

"Stop your nonsense and jokes," Dad ordered and then again moved his waist back to the car's trunk.

"B-but dad-" I wanted to continue but he didn't' let me.

"Be quiet and let us work or else.. you know that." dad declared without turning to me.

Yeah yeah grounded for two weeks. I sighed.

'Maybe my eyes.' I thought in my mind.

I moved my hand to take one bag from the open trunk of our car but Reena's scream made me stop.

"Ah~" Reena's frightened scream made my body shudder. I moved my head turn back and glance at the ranch house.

"That was so horrifying." My mom concluded. "was that Reena?" She asked looking at dad.

"Ye, I think she was. Liam! I want you-" Before my dad even finished I was already running to the house.

That has to be Reena! But that scream was way too-

*Crash, thud.*

My body stopped after hearing those sounds. T-they are like bag crashing down on the floor!

I increased my speed. Entering through the door I dashed to the staircase that led upstairs.

That was right in front of me, without looking at the stairs above I took a huge jump on the 3rd stair and stopped.

Our luggage! They were lying on the ground lifelessly. Where is Reena? I asked myself. I raised my head to look for her but she was not seen anywhere.

'Maybe I should call Mom and dad.' I took off in the opposite direction. I came out of the door and opened my mouth to shout at mom and dad for help but my words were caught in my dry throat.

Mom and dad were also gone!!

Our Chevrolet Cruze was the only thing I was able to see there. Its trunk was open and my mom's dad was gone.

I just stood like that for some more time.

.

-------- Back to the present --------

.

That is the reason I am the topic of fun. I told everyone that my sister and parents went missing and never came back. I thought as the new student in the school they will believe me but they didn't. they just made my fun of. everyday all day. I felt so humiliated.

They did not believe me even when I told them that I am the one who did that!!!
