Lying From You

Three's A Crowd

(A/N- there's a shocking part about Noelle in this chapter that may trigger some of you. The song in this chapter is VERY special to me and it's just how I feel. Sorry if this chapter sucks... the story gets better. I promise.)

When Chester was nowhere to be found, Noelle panicked. It was now getting dark outside, so she drove around as much of LA as she possibly could to try and find the singer.

Nearly 3 hours later, the brunette parked in a Quick Trip gas station parking lot and cried against the steering wheel. The brunette's cellphone rang. Without checking the screen to see who it was, she answered.

"Chester?!"

"Aw hunny, you still haven't found him?" Dan's voice came through the other end.

"No! I've looked everywhere! It's going to storm and it's so dark out! I won't be able to sleep tonight knowing he's out there, Dan."

"Did you try the park where he normally sleeps at?"

"Yes! That was one of the first places I went!"

"How long have you been looking?"

"3 hours!"

"Wow... you really do have feelings for him."

"Dan!"

"Sorry... Maybe try that park one more time sweetheart. Who knows, maybe you just missed him when you went looking earlier. Does Jeff know where he is?"

"No... I already called him."

"Are you going to Mexico?"

"I don't know... it's like a couples trip."

"Honestly that shit the wife pulled with your $800... I would be so bold as to fuck her husband right in front of her. That bitch."

"Geez... and you say I'm savage?"

"Call me if you can't find him sweetheart. Emilio and I will help you."

"Okay, thank you."

"If I don't hear from you, I'm going to assume you found him and are reconciling." Dan giggled.

"I hate you."

"Tah-Tah darling."

Noelle dried her tears and made her way back to Lincoln Park. Thunder began to rumble in the distance before droplets of rain followed. By the time the brunette reached the park... it was pouring. Making it harder to find Chester.

Just when Noelle was about to give up hope, she saw the green Toyota Tercel parked beneath a street lamp.

"Oh thank God!" Noelle parked across the street and ran over to the car, banging on the driver side window.

She could see the vocalist jump at the sound of her banging on the door. He was using a jacket as a blanket.

"Let me in!" Noelle yelled as the rain poured on her.

Chester did a double-take, unlocked the door and then relocked it when the brunette got in.
She was shivering. She was still in her tight fitting work attire.
