Lydia didn't come home last night. Since I awoke this morning, I've been pacing around the living room. I didn't even bother to look at the time; instead I rushed into Lydia's room to see if she was there. She wasn't.
It's currently 7:00am and I'm panicking. A lot.Emma is still sleeping, our first class today starts at 11am.
Worrying about what might have happened to her, I bit the inside of my cheek. I tried calling multiple times but it kept going straight to voicemail.
She's been drinking and going out almost every night for a few weeks now, but she never once failed to return home.Every time my bare feet took a step on the cold hardwood floor, a shiver ran through my body.
"Where the fuck are you?" I mumbled to myself, chewing on my thumb.
I finally decided to pick up my phone and call someone else.
"Hey Denver, you ok?" the voice on the other line said.
"Um, do you know where my brother is? he isn't answering my calls" my worried voice asked.
"Denny what's wrong?"
"Lydia didn't come home last night. Theo I'm panicking"
"Denny-" Theo soothed through the phone. "She's here"
"What?"
"Chance found her last night and brought her back to the house"
Relief crept through my body. "She is?"
"Ya, she's sleeping-" "I'm coming over" I said cutting Theo off. Not caring to change out of my pink short shorts or my braless black cropped tank top, I slipped my white runners on, grabbed my car keys and rushed out the door.
—My knuckles made contact with the door.
"Well, good morning, sexy," Theo rasped, licking his button lip and staring at me up and down before settling on my clothed nipples, which had become hard due to the chilly breeze that hit them when I exited my car and walked to the door.
Theo is a huge flirt, he's always been that way. I have yet to meet someone he doesn't hit on the second he's greeted with their presence. Theo constantly hit on me in attempt to piss off my brother, and most of the time it worked.
Ask Theo how many times my brother has sucker punched him just for looking at me in a more than friendly manner. Let me save you some time, it's happened a lot. I'm honestly surprised he continues after all the beatings he took.
