“Dear Moon, I don’t know if you’re listening or not, but I talked to you yesterday and this morning I found a note from them, so maybe you are. Who knows. Anyways, it’s still so strange without her here. I miss them.”

This morning, they had found a note on their little sibling’s desk that DEFINITELY hadn’t been there before, so Em had some reason to think the Moon could actually hear her. She didn’t show the note to their parents though, she was afraid of what they’d say.

Em was already planning her journey to find their sibling, but was hesitant to break her parents’ heart a second time by just leaving. She spent days making a plan, packing her bag, and asking the Moon for guidance and advice. Eventually, she settled on writing a note and leaving it in the kitchen when they made their way out.

The day she decided to leave, she spent extra time with her parents, and surprisingly, they didn’t question it. As night fell, they all headed up to their rooms to start getting ready for bed and to go to sleep, but Em stayed up, intently listening until the house was silent before making her way to the front door. As she passed the kitchen, she placed a note on the table.

“Dear Mom and Dad,

I’m so sorry. I had to go after them. She means so much to me and I have to figure out what happened. I’ll try to keep in contact but hopefully next time I’m home we’ll all be together again.

Love, Em”

She tiptoed her way out the front door, quietly clicking it closed behind her. Hopefully she would be able to find her little sibling quickly, and nothing would happen to either of them.
