Book 1: You're Mine Alright? ✔️

Ch. 14

I almost cried writing this 🥲

—————

Levi's POV:

An hour without a call or text from Light was starting to worry me. It didn't help that I was genuinely an over thinker, and tend to come up with the worst case scenarios.

I paced around the room, waiting for something from Light. Anything. I waited another ten minutes 'til I decided to just find him.

But when I checked his location, I didn't recognise anything around him. So I panicked. I grabbed my keys and fled the room, not bothering to put on a jacket or something to keep me warm then paused in the living room to find Chris, Luca and Jaxx staring at me weirdly as I panted.

"What's wrong? Where are you going at this time?" Jaxx asked as I slipped my feet into my flip flops. He had a point, but that was the point I'd tried to make to Light, who still left.

"Light... I don't know where he is."

"He went to get groceries... about an hour ago. He should be back by now," Luca said, and I shook my head. "He's not?"

"I gotta find him. He left his location on but it's showing up as some random unnamed area." I told them, and they all scurried to put their shoes on.

"I'll drive."

Luca and Jaxx sat in the backseat of my car while I sat in the passenger seat and Chris was at the wheel. Chris sped off the second I practically flung my door shut.

"Woah, slow down. I don't wanna die here." Jaxx said and Chris ignored him, swerving left and right when I told him to.

"Well, put your seatbelts on 'cuz I know you'd rather die in a car crash than to Levi's bare hands if we don't find Light!"  Chris exclaimed, flinging the car right and speeding past speed bumps to the point we couldn't feel them.

The only thing going through my head was; Light, Light, Light, Light. What if he'd gotten lost? What if someone took him? What if Charli had gotten to him? No, that's impossible. What if he was dead? That question immediately made me tense up in my seat. Luca seemed to have noticed my discomfort from the backseat, and put his hand on my shoulder.

"We'll find him, Levi. I promise. If he's hurt, we'll use the first-aid kit we have, and by the looks of it, we'll be there in no time if Chris keeps up this maniac-like driving." He said, and Chris scowled. I really hoped he was right. I couldn't bear being without Light a second longer.

I noticed something out the window. It was strange. Something orange attacked something purple, but my vision blurred out of tiredness.

'Til I recognised those familiar auburn curls.

"Hit the break!" I screeched, and Chris did just that, sending Luca—who wasn't wearing his seatbelt—jolting forward.

"I told you to put on your seatbelt, you could've gotten hurt!"

"Haha.. sorry."

My car door hurled open, almost breaking, but I couldn't care less. The only words to describe how I felt were furious, frightened and relieved. Relieved because we'd found Light. Frightened because of the state he was in, barely conscious and smeared in his own blood. And furious, absolutely livid because...

Do I even need to say anything?

Luca, Chris and Jaxx scrambled out the car and were by my side in seconds. Light was on the ground, drifting in and out of consciousness, while Charli hadn't seen us yet.
