Chapter 3: Gone So Long

This book isn't going to be as long as the others, but I have a lot to do including a Kellic and the sequal to Blessed With A Curse. This book has one chapter left then it's off to the next one! :3

-Austin-

I groaned as I opened my eyes and the florescent lights nearly blinded me. I blinked a few times and sat up. My body ached and I had a few cuts, but otherwise I felt pretty fine for someone who got hit by a car.

"Austin?" I looked over to see Ashlee sitting there, she looked relieved but worried.

"Ashlee... Where's Alan?" I asked almost frantically when I realized he wasn't there.

"Hey Austin..." She mumbled. "He uh... he..." I could see her fighting tears as she handed me a folded sheet of paper and sighed roughly. I opened it and read the messy writing.

"What the fuck?" I growled. "No... He.... he just can't do that. Did you call th-"

"Tino and Aaron already called the police and gathered a search party... it's just them, Kellin, Vic, and Phil, but it's better than nothing." She answered.

I wanted to cry, I thought I would be home and safe with him... I wanted so badly for this to be a terrible dream. "Ashlee... Shay will kill him." I whispered.

"What? No... Surely no-"

"He will! He told me he would..."

She fell silent.

"We have to save him... I know where to go." I said getting up. Ashlee followed me out the door. After a good ten minutes of arguing with the lady at the desk and a quick check up on the extent of my injuries, they finally allowed me to leave the hospital and we set off in search of my ginger prince.

*3 Days Later*

-Alan-

I cringed in pain as I shifted around the uncomfortable stone of the floor and raked my shoulder against the wall. I had a bad cut across there from Shayley. The past few days had been terrible and painful. I was beaten and bruised... all I wanted was to go home and be with Austin. I leaned my head against the wall and sighed. I heard the door open and light spilled into the room as Shay walked in carrying a camera. He shut the door and turned a small light on.

"We're making a little movie for Austin, now smile for the camera." Shay grinned.

"Fuck you!" I spat, regretting it immediately as I felt the sting across my face.

"Now that's no way to talk." He said with a smirk. He pointed the camera at me and began recording. "Smile." He laughed. "Tell him how you're doing."

"You're a phycopathic ass Shayley!" I yelled.

He frowned. "Well you won't have to deal with it much longer." He smiled. "You better hurry Austin, wouldn't want anything to happen to this pretty little ginger hm?" He laughed and shut off the camera.

I felt helpless, I was tied up so eascaping wasn't really an option. I couldn't move aside from shifting my weight to my other side. All I can do is hope they get here soon. Something hadn't crossed my mind until now, my phone, I had it in my back pocket. I felt for it and was happy to find it. I managed to pull it out and get my arms in front of me. I quickly texted Austin and told him where I was, then hid the phone again.

-Austin-

I'd been going insane the past few days trying to find Alan, he wasn't in the same place Shay had kept me. We kept searching though.

I sat on the edge of the couch wishing I could get some sort of sign. My phone buzzed suddenly and I was shocked. I had a message from Alan. He said Shay had taken him and told me where he was. I rushed to get out the door. Ashlee nearly fell down as I ran into her. She held up a disk.

"Shay sent this." She said. I took it and put it in the computer and watched it. I clenched my fists and growled before taking it out and throwing it away.

"We have to go, now." I said and showed her the text. She was calling the police as we headed out the door.

It was a long drive to the place, but we finally made it.

"We wait for the cops to get here." Ashlee told me. I didn't want to, I wanted to go in and get him. She placed a hand on my shoulder in an effort to comfort me. "They'll be here soon and we can g-" she was cut short by a loud scream.

"Alan!" I couldn't sit there I had to go in.

"Austin wait!" She tried to keep me in the car but it was useless. She sighed and shook her head. I turned to see the cops pulling in. Just in time, I hope.
