Can I talk to someone right now?

I'm scared...I need someone to talk to...I know I sound like a big baby...but my mom dropped me off at our house at around 8 because they always do fireworks at my uncles house, and I'm terrified of them...well, not 'them' in general, but things catching on fire. my mom said she would be home with the rest of our family by 10, it's 10:02 now, and I know I shouldn't worry about that, but I tried calling her on her cell, and she didn't answer...I know there's a million reasons as to why what's happeneing is happening, but I would feel better if I could talk to someone

I'm online on yahoo. If you want to chat.

I don't have that

Do you use AIM cause I could sign on that as well?

I don't have any kind of chatrooms, sorry

Well gosh I'm sorry, it was worth a shot...wish I could be of more help hun. What exactly is on your mind, maybe you could just type out all your thoughts here and everyone here on TCS could help you through it.

did your family get home yet? there are a few people on to talk to.

nope...they arn't home yet...I tried calling them again too

k.
Well, I always get really creeped out from being home alone, not that I get scared from being home alone, but I always think that someone will get in a car wreck, and now I'm really freaked out cuz I think that might've happened, or something got caught on fire....

I'm online.. I have AIM, but I guess you don't. I can't sleep with all this noise..

I wouldn't worry too much. Traffic is probably bad or they might have gotten caught up in the fireworks and not hear the phone over the bangs and whistles... how old are you?

Well you know how those things are-probably just stupid traffic-and that's ok too because everyone goes so slow no one can get in a wreck.

Me and you both...

Okay first off, calm down a bit, I know how you feel I get that way myself....and it's hard to do it...but try to breath...

Remember it is the fourth of July and traffic no matter where you are, if you are going to a fireworks display is going to be INSANE. They are probably stuck in a traffic jam. That is the more probable scenerio.

Of course when one is alone, one's mind tends to wonder to worse case scenerio.

Try something to relax you, or distract yourself...so that you don't get your nerves all in a bundle...again I know easier said than done.

Pick up a book, or if you draw, try sketching something....or read through some of the posts here on TCS,or even get yourself into a game online...or on the PC (like solitaire or minesweeper)

And I'll bet ya, before you realize it.....they'll be back all safe and sound.

I'm 13, and I don't mean to be a downer, but the traffic on the street they would use is actually not that busy..but it could be because they can't hear the phone..

yeah, I guess I could draw or somthing

Traffic after fireworks is slow so don't panic just yet. Give your family a little travel time for them to get home.

Oh I didn't realize your age, of course you are worried. And they may have put the phone on vibrate by mistake...done that before.

Still, they also may have stopped at the store to pick up some refreshments or watermelon or something like that.

You aren't being a downer.....if you are calling a cell phone and they check it they are likely to see that you have called and call you right away.

I'm sure they are okay. Try to relax yourself a bit.....do something that will help, listen to whatever music you enjoy or just something you find soothing.

I was at my parents house and didn't hear my MIL calling our cell phone (even though she called about 6 times ) and I only live about 2-3 miles from my parents I drove really slow because of all the drunks on the roads and it was really smokey too.. and honestly I wouldn't have answered the phone because I don't like driving and talking on the phone

Good idea-distract yourself. maybe the display lasted a little longer. or you could watch the news to reassure yourself

Ugh.. it sucks. The neighbors have been shooting the really noisy fireworks since like, 6-ish this evening.. and it's 10:30. I want to go outside and yell for them to stop. They're scaring the dogs, and it makes it harder to get to sleep.

You know I didn't even think of that, cause I'll talk on the phone while I'm driving.....but also another probability is that while driving the phone fell under the car seat and they can't get to it.

As for the delay there are about a million reasonable explainations that don't involve a horrible accident, maybe after the show, they ran into old friends and decided to have a chat with them. Cause sometimes that happens too.
