I woke up with a horrible feeling in my stomach all I could think about was whether or not what happened last night was real or just a dream. I got out of bed everything looked normal so I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and an Advil I had the worst headache I kept getting flashes of someone hitting me in the head with a bat I walked to the bathroom and inspected myself in the mirror there were no signs of any bruising so I sat down and tried to wrap my head around it. I got an idea to write and draw everything I remembered and go over it and inspect every detail for any proof I felt like I was going crazy. I remembered the day before I spent the night at my friend's house and somehow I woke up in my house I remembered being at lucys house my best friend and waking up to a loud bang I looked over to my friend's bed and she wasn't there so I went downstairs and saw lucy on the floor with someone standing over her I ran and grabbed the fireplace rod and tried to hit hem with it as I did lucy started crawling away and then he hit me in the head with a bat I don't remember anything else right then and there I panicked and tried to call lucy she didn't answer so before I could even change out of my pajamas I got into my car and quickly drove to her house he car was there but she wasn't her door was unlocked so I yelled lucy lucy are u here I touched the door very lightly and it opened so I went inside continuing to yell for her I took a second to inspect the house everything looked the same as far as I could tell. I searched the house and no sign of lucy or anything weird so walked outside and called the police and told them everything I knew. about 10 minutes later the police arrived and I explained everything I knew they looked at me like I was nuts they searched the house and didn't find anything they came out to me bombarding them with questions and they didn't answer a single one they just told me to go home and get some rest like I was just some psycho making this all up so I didn't leave without arguing with them so they told me to call in a few days if I was still worried so that's exactly what I did. throughout those days all I could do was think I made a whole case wall of all the evidence and everything I knew to try and figure anything out I hadn't slept for days every time I closed my eyes all I could see was that night replaying in my mind over and over again. It's been 3 days and still no sign of lucy I contacted her family and they didn't seem to be too worried they just thought that she left town for a while I tried to explain to them what happened but they just said that I was making something out of nothing. why wouldn't anyone believe me I was starting to question myself as well but then I thought about it and looked at my wall filled with pictures and a bundle of mess and though no there's no way this is just a coincidence so I called the police again and tried to explain they still didn’t, believe me, I was tired of not being heard so I did some more investigating on my own I went to Lucas house and went through all her stuff for any clues I found a camera on it was some weird pictures but nothing that could prove anything It was just unlike her to own a camera shes not into photography so I went home and printed out the pictures from the camera and taped them on the wall I stepped back and looked at the wall no of this is making sense I whispered underneath my breath. So I decided to go onto all my social medias like Instagram facebook snapchat anything I could think of to get the story out there and still everyone thought I was overreacting or crazy I decided to print out pictures of all lucys friends and tape them on the wall anyone that could have been involved I printed out I called the police again still nothing I was getting angrier and more and more worried bye the day its been almost a month and no ones even worried I don’t understand why isn’t anyone seeing what im seeing none of this makes anysense I called asking each suspect a series of questions first I started with jake her x boyfriend I thought he could have maybe been involved I asked hem were he was that night he said he was out with friends I asked what friends he said Jacob and lee I was writing all this down too I asked hem if hes heard from lucy he said no and that was it so I decided to talk to lee and Jacob next because he brought them up I asked them both the same thing they both said they weren’t with jake so I knew one of them were lying so they were my 3 suspects I decided to go to the police this time I went to the station in person and was yelling at them telling them they had to do something and I kinda got out of hand so I was arrested and was said to have issues like thinking people ar out to get me and fantasies so I was put into a phycward and from there I don’t remember anything else It was a year of doing the same things everyday at least I think it was I don’t really know I left the phychward not able to remember anything lucy was completely erased from my memory so I went on with my life and no one saw lucy since
