A Glimmer in the Dark Chapter 09

Mom had just promised me yesterday that she’d accept treatment properly. There was no way she’d disappear for no reason. 

I called her over and over, but no one ever picked up. 

“Claire Evans, don’t panic!” Emily said. 

Seeing how frantic I was, Emily grabbed hold of me right away. 

“What do I do? My Mom’s gone… She told me yesterday she’d get treated and stay with me, and now… It’s all my fault. All my fault. I never should’ve let her go to the hospital today,” I said. 

I yanked at my hair in guilt. Then my phone buzzed. The doctor had sent me surveillance footage.
