Cause I swear I'd burn

_____________Twenty minutes... that's how long I've been left on delivered.
I texted Vanessa wondering when she'd be home since it was already eight, but I have no reply.
I beg my heart not to worry, its only twenty minutes, maybe shes driving and doesn't want to be distracted,
Or maybe she's distracted at a store and didn't even hear the phone,
I try to stop overthinking and get some work done,
I get drowned out in work calls and an email with a client, and the next time I look at the time its been over an hour later,
I check my phone and frown seeing no notification from Vanessa,
My stomach sinks in a weird feeling, I call her again but it goes to voicemail, I call again, once again...voice mail.
At this point I'm full-on worried, my mind is racing thinking of the worst,
No...please don't be her heart, it's too early, I'm not ready.
"Shit" I whisper as I practically jump out of my seat,
I call her once more and when she doesn't answer I leave her a voicemail,
'Sunshine, please answer your phone, you're starting to worry me, I'm giving you half an hour to respond until I go to the cops and hospitals.'
I blow out a breath as I pace around my office, there's not much I can do except wait to see if she responds,
After ten minutes I'd had enough and decided to call the hospitals in the area to see if she maybe ended up there,
"Do you have a patient named Vanessa Adler?"
"Umm...no I'm sorry, we have no one here by that name"
"No one by that name"
"That name isn't in our system, no"
"Unfortunately it's not coming up no sorry I couldn't help"
Hospital after hospital I get told she isn't there, half of me is relieved since it means she most likely didn't have some heart issue...but the other half of me is terrified,
I know her, she would've answered me when she knows how stressed out I have been with all this Wren and David drama, our court date is in just a few days and I've been hounding her like crazy making sure she's okay,
Shit.
No. No. No
David and wren.
My gut sinks thinking about that video where she got threatened by them in the ally way,
