Stealing Hearts: Chapter 17
The next day . . .
Joes POV
I woke up, it was about 11:58 am. Good old Saturday morning. I let out a fat yawn. I heard a grumble and decided it was my stomach. I walked sluggishly downstairs. Yawned again. I sat in my assigned spot at the table. My eyes were still like half open or something. I picked up my fork and thrust (lol, Alli) it downward to scarf down my yummy pancakes my mom makes for me every Saturday. My eyes shot open. Something was wrong. I looked down. I was eating nothing but air. There werent any circular shapes of hotcakey goodness on my plate. I stood up. No one was downstairs. Where is everyone?
