Lost
Chapter 1| New York
BANG! BANG! CLICK! CLICK! I heard the train come to a
screeching halt. “What’s happening?” I said but before I got an answer, the
conductor said next stop was Grand Central. I totally forgot! I was on a train
with my parents, and my brother Alex. I was sitting next to Alex. I sleepily
gazed out the window, still tired from my nap on the train. The next stop came
in no time. The family scurried out of the train and into the building. “Wow.”
I said. The tall, shiny, walls gleamed as the clock in the center was ticking
away. The tiny stores lit up like shining stars as the whole rest of the
building itself was the sky. I stared as business people whizzed by on their
phones and families wandered off the train clueless. “Hey Amelia” Alex said.
“Hey Amelia.” He repeated. I kept ignoring him. His voice seemed to get farther
away until it almost completely faded. Then it almost seemed to disappear among
the enormous crowd flooding in front of me. I tried to find the nearest person
to help but everyone was too busy to notice me. I followed the direction I heard my brother’s
voice but couldn’t hear him anymore. Where is he? Did they leave without me?
No, they couldn’t. I thought as I searched in every direction. They were
nowhere to be found. Thoughts raced to my mind. Where would I most likely find
them? Where are they? What should I do?
Chapter 2 | Help!!!
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? I
thought as I panicked in circles. My brain seemed to panic also bouncing around
in my head. It didn’t know what to do either. I sighed. Maybe if I stayed calm
it would work . . . . But it didn’t. Where were they? I pushed my small body in
and out of the crowd. It looked like a swarm of bees circling around in their
hive. I went to the center and tried to tell the person that I was lost.
Unfortunately the man there couldn’t hear me. It was too loud. I tried and I
tried but I couldn’t find a possible solution for this problem. Most people
would just say that I should’ve just went up to someone and ask but I wasn’t so
familiar with going up to random strangers and asking them for help. You don’t
know what will happen if you do that. I
didn’t know what to do. I clearly wasn’t
thinking like myself because I was walking up to a random stranger. But since I
had no choice I gave it a try. I found a
woman. I walked up to her. She seems nice. I went up to her and told her that I
was lost. She kindly went up to the front desk to tell the person up front that
I was lost. I felt embarrassed. I was lost and I was too quiet for the man to
hear me. I was even more embarrassed when a loud voice boomed that a little
girl was lost and if anyone was missing their child they should come up to the clock
in the center immediately. I was still worried. They still haven’t come for me.
My heart seemed to stop beating. What if they already left? What if they never
come back for me?
Chapter 3| Found
I felt like crying. That’s when I saw someone. Someone
familiar. “Alex!” I yelled. I didn’t care if people were staring at me. I’m
just glad to see my family again. I squeezed him tight. “Where were you?” I
asked him. He wanted to know the same thing. “Well I’m just glad your back.”
Said Alex. Later that day, we were about
to get on the train to go home when something was missing. “Alex!” I called his name. Now he wasn’t listening. We’re going to have to catch another train
later. “Here we go again.” I moaned as we went back to go look for him.
