*Nikki's POV*

I couldn't believe she was gone. I just keep replaying that memory of coming home and finding nothing.

*Flashback*

I walked up to the door carrying a few grocery bags. I was going to make Jace a romantic dinner for our 18 months anniversary and make Kyla spend the night at Liam's so we could have the house to ourselves. I unlocked the door and walked in.

"Honey I'm home!" I said sarcastically but there was no reply. Weird her car was in the driveway, she should be home. Maybe she was out with Liam or El or something. I put the bags in the kitchen and saw Kyla's phone sitting on the cupboard. She never leaves home without her phone these days. I walked down the hall towards my bedroom to put my shoes away. I put them in my wardrobe and sat down on my bed. I heard a piece of paper crumble under me. I stood up and turned around. I picked up a folded piece of paper and read the words on it. I read the first sentence and I sprinted to Kyla's room. Everything was gone, all that was there was a bed and the dresser. The furniture stood still but everything Kyla owned was gone. I sat on the edge of her bed and started crying. She couldn't be gone, surely this was a prank?

I ran down to the kitchen. No Kyla. I ran to the lounge room. No Kyla. She must be with Liam.  I ran back to my room and grabbed my phone, tears still running down my face, and called Liam.

"Hey Nikki, I'll be over in about fifteen. Tell Kyla I lo-"

"Liam please tell me she's with you" I said frantically.

"Who?"

"Kyla"

"No, I left her at your house, what's going on?" I started panicking and crying.

"Nikki, what the hell is going on?"

"She's gone"

"What?! What do you mean she's gone?"

"I got home and there was a note from her saying goodbye and that she was leaving. I ran to her room and it's empty. All that's there is a bed and a wardrobe. All of her stuff is gone!" I cried even harder.

"No she can't be gone. She wouldn't"

"She is, unless she is at your apartment" Liam hung up the phone at that point. I cried and cried as I slid down to the floor. It has to be a mistake, doesn't it?

I waited twenty minutes staring at my phone waiting for Liam to text back. When my phone finally buzzed I snatched it off of the floor and read the notification. It was from Niall.

"I'm sorry. She's gone"

I just stared at the phone reading the message over and over again. It was true. She had just left me. I went into my room and read the note again.

"Stupid bastard! I hate you Joel!" I screamed after I finished reading the note.

It was his fault that my best friend was gone. I called  up Jace and he came over to comfort me. I went into the bathroom and back past Kyla's room. I couldn't believe how empty it was. I saw a pink thing sticking from under the bed. I pulled it out and held it in front of me. It was a jumper of Kyla's which I immediately put on and just cried.

*End of flashback*

I was taken out of my memory by a knock on the door. I didn't know who it was because Jace was at work. I got up and opened it to see El.

"Hi, I um hope this isn't a bad time. I just wanted to see how you were" She said reaching out for a hug.

I hugged back and shrugged. I stood to the side and let her in. She walked in and sat down on the couch. I sat down on the other side.

"Is that her jumper?" El asked

I looked and nodded. I had been wearing it a lot over the past few days.

"Liam's shattered too, you know? He's gone mental I imagine you have to?" She asked looking at me kindly.

"Yes. I miss my best friend more than anything. I just want her back."

"We all do sweetie" El said coming over and hugging me while rubbing my arm.

A few seconds later we heard the doorbell ring again.

"I'll get it hun" El said.

I waited while she opened the door and a guy replied.

I heard footsteps coming down the hall and El walked in with a man about 20. I recognised him as Max, Joel's best friend.

"What are you doing here?" I spat at him

"Is Kyla here?"

"Why do you want to know?" I glared at him holding back tears.

"I know what happened between the two and I thought she should know"

"Know what?"

"Joel's dead" I sat there in shock.

"WHAT?" I yelled at him.

"He died in a car accident last night. He was drunk and crashed"

"Are you kidding me?" I said sarcastically getting up and walking towards him, my anger building.

"Nikki don't" El warned.

"Don't what. I'm not mad. No not at all. I'm not mad at the fact that my best friend is gone!! She's disappeared and the guy who made her run isn't even alive anymore!! She could still be here but no now she's by herself in who knows where?!! No I'm not mad!!!!"

I screamed then ran to my room and slammed the door. I heard El come in a few minutes later, I was laying on my bed and crying by then.

"Shh, he's gone now" El hushed rubbing my back.

"Will she come back El?"

"I don't know. The things we love have a way of coming back to us, so I have hope".

*Liam's POV*

I had been moping around the past few days. I didn't have a reason to do anything else. The boys and El have been good watching over me and making sure I eat but I don't know if I'll ever get past this. El had left 2 hours ago but the boys were still here. I heard the door shut and heard El greet us.

The few minutes were a blur and I heard El bring me back to reality.

"Liam there's something you need to know"

"What?" I mumbled

El sighed before continuing.


"Joel's dead"
