Chapter 69. Belle's Safe

Morning.

Cherry was asleep when she heard her friend sobbing. She rubbed her eyes and sat up to see Brie's face streaming with tears.

"Oh Brie, not again," she hugged her to try and comfort her.

Brie had been crying a lot since Belle went missing and had Cherry cry with her sometimes too.

"It's been days, the police are still not saying anything about her, no one knows where she is....what am I going to tell my grandma? She doesn't even know yet, I was supposed to look out for Brie but now she's been missing and no one is calling with any information about where she might be." Brie started to weep more loudly than before; she had been muffling her sobs because she didn't want to wake Cherry up but now she had someone to cry her heart out to.

"She will be okay," Cherry said even if she was beginning to lose hope in those words of hers, it was just an attempt to calm her friend down again.

"I hope so..." Brie sniffed and wiped some of her tears away
