Taken

Chapter O3

-Dylan's P.O.V.-

The way her face twisted when she smelt that alcohol that I secretly loved made me laugh.

"Do you want to get some air?" I asked her and she smiled and nodded, basically melting me. Her smile is gorgeous, and I get to see it a lot which I'm so thankful for. I guided her to the front yard because I really didn't want some drunk pushing one of us into the pool or something. Besides, it was quiet out here.

"It smells terrible in there." Lily said and started hyperventilating, knowing she was joking of course.

"It's definitely not for everyone." I told her, because it was for me, it didn't smell bad to me. Then my phone started vibrating and flashing and I rolled my eyes and looked down at it before slipping it out of my pocket.

"Shot competition, Marcus is participating. Get over here and help him after he dies."

That was the text I got from my friend Kyle and it made me smile slightly. Marcus's tolerance was not high at all and after one or two shots he's dead, wasted.

"Who's that?" Lily asked innocently and I held back my smile that always laid upon my face when she spoke.

"One of my friends. I'm apparently needed, do you want to stay out here? I'll be right back." I told her, personally I didn't want her coming in with me for obvious reasons. Alcohol makes her woozy and I'm heading over to a shot competition. She nodded her perfect little head and I winked at her before bolting inside.

I hope this gets over with quick because I didn't like the fact that Lily was alone outside with all those perverted boys running around. When I got inside everyone had moved to the kitchen and I saw Rachel and Marcus sitting at the counter with shots piled in front of them. Rachel had five empty glasses next to her while Marcus only had three. Rachel was still going at it but Marcus was having a hard time holding the actual glass.

"Go Marcus!" I screamed and ran over next to him where Kyle was laughing his head off. When Marcus drank his fifth glass he fell off the chair he was sitting on and everyone cheered for Rachel who had just won. I looked over to her and she looked like she was about to throw up everywhere. "Come on, Marcus." I said and grabbed his upper body while Kyle held his legs, we led him to the bathroom knowing he was probably going to throw up any second.

When we were in the bathroom that was the first thing he did, but he wasn't aiming correctly and it went all of his shirt.

"Seriously, Marc?" Kyle sighed and pealed Marcus's soiled shirt off of him and threw it into the shower, not even caring that this wasn't his house.

"I'm tired..." Marcus sighed as he leaned his head onto the tiled floor then throwing up again.

"Marcus, control yourself, man!" I yelled and held him up as Kyle turned on the shower and I threw him in with his pants still on. By the time he was done showering everything off of his body it smelled like ten people had died in here and I had to get out. Kyle and I dragged Marcus out of the house and to the front yard, laying him on the grass before he knocked unconscious.

I looked around expecting to see Lily right where I left her but she wasn't there, I whipped my head around everywhere. Down the street, on the yard, side walk, over at my car. She wasn't there. I left Kyle with Marcus and bolted into the house.

"Lily!?" I screamed, call me over protective but I was terrified that she might be being raped by some random drunk. I ran outside to the backyard, looked in the pool, anywhere she could possibly be. When she wasn't there I ran to the upstairs bedroom, that's where'd she be if she was having sex.

"Lily!" I screamed as I opened a door to walk in on a couple that were just about to go to the next step. "Um...sorry." I said and slammed the door awkwardly going to the next room, sort of scared of what I might see.

After I looked through all the rooms to find no more couples and no Lily I ran back down stairs and looked for her in the kitchen, she wasn't there though. I ran outside to the front again.

"Lily Ryers!" I screamed but she didn't call back, then I started to think about it. What if she left because I had left her? I was such a freaking jerk! I shouldn't of just left her like that.

"Dude, some help?" Kyle asked from behind me who was trying to pick up Marcus.

"I-I gotta go."I told him and sprinted to car, not caring that he was calling my name for help. Sorry, Kyle.

I knew were Lily lived, I had been over her house a million times and that's where she would be. So I zoomed there, her parents cars not in the driveway like always. I ran out of my car and slammed my fist against the door but no one answered, I tried to open the door but it was locked, just like Lily left it.

Did she even reach home? I started to panic and I pulled out my phone to call her, it went straight to voice mail. Maybe she went to visit Marian? I needed to try everything at this point, I felt so guilty. But at this point it was pass that, if she wasn't with Marian then she was missing. Where could she have gone, really?

I dialed Marian's number and she answered by the third ring.

"Hello?" she croaked and I could tell she was sick.

"Oh my gosh. Marian, are you okay?" I asked with concern in my voice, forgetting about Lily for just a second.

"Not really, but I'm alive right?" She said through a chuckle, I smiled that she still had her humor with her.

"I just wanted to ask you if Lily had talked to you or is even with you?" I asked her, hoping she would say 'yah! She's right here!'

"Nope. Why?" She asked and I clenched my fists in balls.

"No reason. Well I got to go, lots of homework. Hope to see you tomorrow. Love ya! Bye!" I called into the phone before hanging up and throwing it into my pocket with frustration.

Where is she.
