Chapter 19

Elle

Arriving home as drunk as a skunk Lisa and I were still singing and laughing until we spotted blood splattered all over the front door and floor. My heart sped up as soon as I spotted Isabella's purse and keys lying on the ground. All that I could think of was Isabella and her UN born baby. A mixture of Fear and adrenaline ran through me at such an alarming rate I suddenly felt almost sober. I ran through the house frantically screaming for Isabella.

Lisa and I searched the entire house. She wasn't here. Lisa was crying hysterically as she kept screaming for Isabella where I just wanted to find her. Keeping a strong head on, I stopped for a second trying to come up with who had been here and where could she be. Not knowing where or who could have been here, I started running up and down the street screaming her name in hopes she would reply me. Grabbing my phone out of my pocket I tried calling her but it just kept ringing. Just as I was about to hang up I heard Lisa shouting she found Isabella's phone. Turning back towards the house, Lisa stood almost frozen just staring at the blood while holding up Isabella's phone in her trembling hand.

"We need to call the police." Lisa said through her sobs. I could feel my tears busting to break free but I wouldn't allow them to fall. Isabella needed me and I had to find her and standing here crying wasn't going to help either of us. "You call them. I'm going to continue looking for her. Call everyone we know and see if they've seen or heard from her." I gave Lisa a quick hug hoping it was enough to get her moving. "OK" was all she replied but seeing her pull out her phone was enough for me to know that she was going to call everyone.

It felt as if I had been running up and down our street for hours and still I hadn't found her. I even started trying the streets that broke off from ours.

What felt like hours later but was probably only an hour at the max,  I could see the police pulling up outside our house but I didn't bother walking back because that would only waste more time. Lisa could deal with them, I told myself as I started running in the opposite direction. Coming up with the most awful thoughts of what could've happened to Isabella had me wanting to smash my head against a brick wall. Then Jaxon came to mind he wouldn't have hurt her but then again I had heard many rumours of how he became violent when drunk but he wouldn't, not Isabella I thought to myself.

 A car came screeching down the street straight towards me. Right at the last second the car swerved to a stop right in front of me. My heart pounded against my chest making it almost impossible for me to breathe.  All the car doors flew open. Men dressed all in black jumped out of the car I was just about to scream when I noticed one of the men from the club, Joshua's club. He ran up to me and began talking a mile a minute but I was too shocked by the big men that were circling me to even take in what he was saying.

 "You're Elle right?"  He shouted this time. Nodding my head he began asking question after question about Isabella. After answering him he sent two men one way whilst sending two back out in the car. He took hold of my hand and began marching me in the opposite direction to where he had sent the other men. Even though I had already done this route he said we were checking it again. We had ended up searching through every garden, ally, you name it we looked there.

 The bouncer that I now know as Jack had been on the phone non-stop and whoever was at the other end was yelling orders continuously. I wasn't even right beside him and I could hear the yelling. I hadn't bothered asking who he was speaking too because with every passing second the more I panicked for Isabella's safety. I prayed to god above that she's safe somewhere and the blood we'd seen wasn't hers but everything in my gut told me something bad had happened tonight. I wanted to kick myself for leaving her leave the restaurant alone. I should've been with her and then she wouldn't be missing.

"OVER HERE" I heard someone scream breaking me from my mental rant. My heart near on stopped as I watched horrified as Jack carried what looked like a limp body from under a bush. Before I could even reach him the other men were at his side. Seeing a bloodied beaten Isabella I could no longer hold the tears back. A loud ear-piercing scream echo the dark empty street.  It wasn't until someone had slapped me across the face did I realize that it was me that was screaming.

 Hearing the loud screeching of tyres I clung onto the body in front of me as I stared over at Isabella's limp body. By the looks of it I feared the worst but hearing Jack screaming orders as well as shouting down his phone I caught the odd word and thankfully I knew Isabella was alive. She had a pulse and was still breathing. However, when I heard him say critical I collapsed to the ground no longer able to bare the guilt of the condition my best friend was in. 

What started off the best day in a long long time was now ending up the worst day of my life. It was as if I was having a nightmare but the reality of it all was too clear to be just a dream. Strong arms took a hold of me and shoved me into the car alongside Jack and Isabella. Taking in a shaky breath, I reached my hand out and took hold of Isabella's hand. It was so cold I gasped as a chill ran through my body. Shoving my own emotions aside I began to talk to Isabella hoping she would know I was here and that she was no longer alone or in danger. She was safe but as much as I spoke she wasn't responding. Her eyes were completely sealed shut and the way her body hung from Jacks gentle hold I knew she was still unconscious but I needed her to know I was here.  Crying hysterically I struggled to keep talking but I couldn't stop at the fear of her thinking she was all alone still out there.

By the time we arrived at the hospital it was near on five am which meant that Isabella could've been stuck under that bush for near on four hours. Chills ran up and down my spine at the thought of her been stuck under that bush terrified for her life, hiding from her attacker.

Who could've done this to her? Isabella wasn't hated by anyone! She has been through so much these past months that I wished life would just give her a break. If I find out who's done this to her, I swear to god I will kill them! I will make them suffer so much!

I had a gut wrenching feeling it was Jaxon but at the same time I couldn't imagine him laying a hand on her let alone beating her. Although the stories I had heard about the drunken Jaxon back on campus filled me with fear. I wanted to go out and hunt him down to find out if he had done this but at the same time I couldn't bring myself to leave Isabella.

 Jack sat with Lisa and me as we waited for the doctor to return. Lisa and I held each other in comfort as we cried while silently praying for Isabella. Jack suddenly stood up and began walking towards the elevator. At first I thought he was leaving us but as the elevator doors suddenly opened my heart sped up. There looking completely tortured and enraged was the one person I never thought I'd see again. JOSHUA.

 I wanted to run up to him and slap the living daylights out of him but stopped myself as he came thundering towards us. His heavy breathing along with his heavy footsteps had Lisa and me hugging each other tighter.
