14|Who Were They?

I stare at my phone, my eyebrows furrowed and my eyes just about close. I rub my eyes and blink at the bright screen. Turning down the brightness, I let out a confused sigh. I stare at the same number that has called me twice in the same day, both times leaving me in silence.

I don't know why, but something about this seems off. I'm used to cold callers, but this was different. I can't put my finger on it I just know that something is strange. I let out a groan and toss my phone to the side, laying down again.

I try not to think about it too much, just wanting to fall asleep. I look up at my ceiling and watch the lights reflect onto it. I close my eyes and try to get to think of something else to distract myself from the weird feeling that covers my body. But just like every time I am left in the silence and at the mercy of my own thoughts, all I can think about is him.

I miss him so much.

I bite my lip, feeling my tears sting at the back of my eyes. I sit up in bed and look at the thick blankets pondering on a thought. I get up from my bed, not changing from my fluffy socks or baggy trackies. I throw on one of his jumpers the material baggy around me. I pause and close my eyes, taking a deep breath of his musky scent. I wrap my arms around myself and shove my feet into my shoes and make my way towards my car. it's dark and cold, shivers racking my body. I turn on the heating in my car and hold my hands in front of the warm air coming out from the heater.

The drive is silent while I warm my body up, soon I'm pulling up to the parking lot and staring out into the one place I thought I would never come to again. Slowly, I open the door and step out into the cold night, already missing the warmth the car provided. my feet crunch under the small pebbles and I stuff my hands into my pockets, shivering again.

I swallow, taking a deep breath, and lean down onto my knees,m I smile softly and run my hand over the cold stone. "I miss you. I wish I could hear you again." my voice is quiet, all I can hear is the slow winds.

I get more comfortable and let out a large breath. "So, you've missed a lot. We got some help from someone else to find the people who did this to you." I swallow down  the anger just at the thought of those assholes. "Oh, look what I got for you." I excitingly reach into my pocket and fish out the scan. I hold it out and smile down at it. "Small right? Don't worry, gray, I won't let them not know you." I place the picture against the stone.

"I miss you with all my heart. I don't know what to do without you." Tears build up and I bout my lip to stop them from falling.

"I can't talk to anyone about it, they don't understand it. I can't get help for the pregnancy, I know Liam is there for me but I need you with me." I let my head fall down and wipe away the tears that have fallen and clear my throat.

"I think I'm going crazy," I whisper, looking down at my hands. "I...I kept thinking about you all the time and I can't sleep without dreaming about you." I let out a sad laugh, tears still falling down my cheeks. "Sometimes I think I even see you. Like...I can hear you but I'm not listening." I look up and frown.

"You see, I'm going crazy." I smile sadly and look away from the gravestone. My eyes catch movement In the distance and I'm immediately alert.
