novas pov:

"wait so he said that!?" we laugh "yeah he really straight up said that"if your wondering who we is we is me and my friend riley we are currently outside on my porch talking now you may also be wondering how do i know him? well i met him freshman year of high school.yes i know i go to school on the rez but i went to forks for about a year before i moved to the rez because it was just easier."so how's it going? we haven't talked in a while" "it's been like 3 days since we last texted ri" "oh yeah" we laugh "but seriously what's up? and what about that fever? you still don't know what's wrong?" ah yes the 'fever' comes and goes but hasn't been happening lately and that's what i told him "that's really weird so it just came one day or a few then disappears?" "yeah i know right freaky but all i get are these heat flashes and i'm all sore then it goes away for a few days" riley gives me a curious look "you aren-" i smack him wide eyes "riley! no i'm not-no ew i'm a virgin" he puts his hands up in surrender "ok ok calm down" he smirks "any boys?" i go to smack him again but then think of him and felt my cheeks flush "i knew it!! what's his name?!" i sigh"his name is paul and he's from the rez and a friend of mine" "you mean the one from sam uley?" he might not go to the rez but i tell him everything "yeah...." he nods "let me know of you need me to beat him up" "oh yeah you can take him" i say sarcastically "ha ha funny" he rolls his eyes and i grin.

~2 weeks later~

i throw my phone on my bed and sigh in frustration and run my hand through my hair that's the 7th call.riley hasn't answered and hasn't responded to any of my texts. i would know if he phased because jake or paul would have told me and i'm getting worried and i'm questioning if maybe i did something,then an idea popped into my head i grab my phone and call his house number

'hello?'
'hey mrs. biers'
'oh hello nova dear is everything ok?'
'yeah everything is fine it's just-have i done anything to riley? he hasn't answered my calls or texts"
i can hear her take any uneasy breath
'he's been missing for a few days now'
i copy her previous actions
'oh...oh my god i'm so sorry i didn't know are the police looking for him?'
'they said they haven't found anything yet dear'
'can you let me know if they find him please? and i hope for the best for you and your husband and i send all my love'
'i will sweetie and thank you i know how close you guys are'
we hang up and now realization hits
me
best friend is missing
that's why he's not answering
what if something bad happened to him
what if he's d-i take a deep breathe "no he's ok he's alright" i mumble to myself
i sigh where the hell are you ri?
