Chapter 23

Lydia's POV

I went back to Reece and I's room to find that no one was there. Which was odd because I hadn't found him in any other last of the house. And he hadn't left a note. Nothing. I went to the living room and found some of boys

"Chaz do you know where Reece went?" Charlie shakes his head and I turn my head to look at Tom who shakes his head before apologizing along with James. I sigh. I thank them and walk to the kitchen. Where as always Chris is cooking and Barclay talking to him while tossing a tape ball.

"Do you guys had any clue where Reece is?" Chris looks puzzled for a moment along with Barclay.

"He said you and him were going for a wall about ten monies ago." I shake my head.

"That can't be. I haven't seen him sense I went to see Jake." I say shaking my head. Barclay stops tossing the ball between his hands and looks at me.

"So you have no clue where he is?" I make my eyes wide and clear before nodding. Barclay swears along with Chris.

"Before we freak go ask Case as Jake if they know." I nod in response to Barclay ad rush up the stairs. Knocking on Jakes door as fast as I can.

"Yeah?" A shirtless Casey answers the door. I flush and look down.

"Do either you or Jake know where Reece are?" I ask ad he shakes his head.

"No I'm afraid I don't. Why?" he asks inquisitively.

"Barc and Chris flipped out when I told them that no one knew where he was. He told them that we were going on a walk. But I was talking to Jake. " His eyes widen and he stammers next.

"Umm- y-yeah we'll be down in a min just give us some- shit. Yeah." Then he shut the door in my face. This was odd. I went to the living room and everyone but Jake, Casey and Reece were there. I sat down next to Chaz who was bouncing in his seat. I roll my eyes.

"Guys I don't see what the big deal is." They all sigh and look at each other. Tom sits down on my other side of me.

"Lyd it is a big deal." He says and I laugh.

"No it's not. He went out. So what." I say and they all sigh.

"Reece didn't tell you?" James asks with his arms crossed. He's shaking and Barc is holding him. If Barc wasn't James would have fallen over.

"Told me what?' I ask as I am now worried. They all sigh. Tom stands and James comes over with tears in his eyes.

"The night Reece found you he-he got into a fight with management. They wouldn't let him go to his grandmothers funeral. It's this weekend." His eyes shut tight.

"That's mean." I say and he holds a hand up.

"That's not all. " I take a deep breath.

"A few months back we found matches, blades, broken glass and other disturbing things in his room." He stops for a moment and my breath gets caught in my throat.

"Lyd. Reece struggles with self harm. He was gunna kill himself the night he found you."
