Falling for You (Simpbur X Reader)

Chapter 19

A week went by and the police notified me they had already started the investigation which I was glad for, however when I went back to Mark's place he had been worried sick for me I reassured him and told him why I had left that night to which he told me not to leave the house alone again.

I was currently waiting for a report or a status on the situation with Wilbur but they said they couldn't find alot on him. The police had told me that I could take my plea to the court but it would be hard for a lawyer to take my side since there was very little proof of a kidnapping. However there was a similar report of Wilbur that a girl named Sally had filed against him. The situation sounded similar to mine and that name had gotten brought up a couple times by Tommy.

I quickly started looking for a lawyer, I thought maybe with this other report I might have a chance but still it was very slim. "Maybe I should just give up on this" I said out loud. "Give up on what?" Mark said as he stepped into my room. "I can't find a lawyer and *sigh* what if the police is right...there's not any evidence of what Wilbur did" I put my face in my hands and let out a long breath of frustration. "What about that kid Tommy?" I pry my fingers away from my eyes to look at Mark. "What about him?" I asked muffled. "You said he helped you escape, that makes him a witness doesn't it?" My eyes widen at Mark's words. "Oh my God it does!" I quickly sit up.

"But where would I even find him? I don't have his number" I say already starting to lose hope. "I think you can find him easier than you realize" Mark pulls out his phone and opens the app Twitch. I look at him in confusion. Mark taps on a streamer and holds the phone to my face as we wait for the screen to load. "Come on duffle! Let's go kill the Edder Dragon!" I'm met with both a familiar face and voice. "He's a streamer?!" I remember Tommy telling me about his YouTube vlogs but I never knew about the streaming I didn't know how popular he was either.

"Still...how would I contact him? What if he doesn't want to talk to me?" I say overthinking. "Y/n, this is a lead, a chance, you can't let this slip away" I think about Mark's words and nod. "You're right I just....it's gonna be so awkward and he's only 18, I'd hate to drag him more into this mess than he already is" Mark puts a hand on my shoulder. "It's up to you" He says then walks away. I pull out my new phone and start scrolling through social media trying to find a way of contact. I see familiar areas I've been to in his pictures my best bet would be to just walk around where he's been hoping he goes back there.

I open Twitch and search his name, he's no longer live.

I walk out my room and head down stairs. "Mark I'm leaving" I shout as I grab the car keys. "Where are you going??" I hear him say back as he appears out of thin air. "I promise I'll be back before dark and if I'm not I'll text you" Mark seems ify. "Are you sure it's a good idea to let you go on your own?" I hesitate but I want to see Tom alone so I lie. "I'll be fine" I give him a reassuring smile as I walk out the door. I drive to my destination and park the car on the side of the road and start walking around.

I vist every place close by but there's no sign of Tommy. The sun gets low but I don't want to go back just yet. I enter a bar to grab a quick bite to eat before I leave, basically I was stalling myself to stay there as long as possible. I sit down in a seat and take look at the menu. "What can I get you?" The bar tender behind the counter asks. "I'm not here for drinks but thank you" I say politely. He nods and goes back to what they were doing. Out of the conner of my eye I see someone walking towards me but I don't look over hoping they go some where else. I put my face closer to the menu trying my best to ignore who ever is coming up to me. The man leans against the front of the counter where I'm sitting, I've yet to look at him. "I had the police show up at my house a couple days ago, you wouldn't know anything about that would you?"
A shiver goes down my back as I recognize the voice. I came looking for someone and got greater by the person I never want to see again.

I freeze not knowing what to do. "Aren't you speak darling?" I slowly put then menu down. "Please go away" I say low and a bit harshly. "Look, I know you don't trust me but at least give me a chance to explain myself" I glare at the man and say nothing.
He gives me a kind smile but I just look away. "You can talk but I'm not gonna listen" Wilbur takes a seat beside me and continues. "I know our greeting didn't go well and I'm sorry for that but, I can't walk away from you, I've tried to leave you alone but it just seems impossible" I tense up more from his words. "I just want to start over, I know what I did was stupid but it wasn't me or at least not completely" The bar tender from afar seems my uneasiness and comes over. "Can I get you anything?" He says as looks at me then Wilbur. "Just give me a few more minutes thank you" I say dismissing him. He nods and walks off again.

"Wilbur, what you did to me can't be forgiven, I can't just start over with you" I say giving him a cold stare. "I'm taking my report to judge, I'll see you in court" I say a I grab my purse and start heading for the door. I get outside and Wilbur quickly grabs my arm. "Please, I know I've done bad but it wasn't me" I jerk my arm away. I look into his eyes and that's when my expression softens. Those damn eyes, he looked so innocent and guilty I almost felt bad but I can't let it get to my head. "You need help, if you want to talk go find a professional who can diagnose you,
You keep saying your actions weren't caused by you or at least not completely, you have three days" I then walk off and let Wilbur fade into the distance I get in my car and that's when I let out all my panic.

I immediately call Mark. "Hello?" I hear him say as he picks up. "Mark! Oh my gosh" I say relived. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" I start to breath heavily. "Yeah I'm fine I just ran into someone" I say as I try to calm my breathing. "You found Tommy?"

"No," I say.

"I found Wilbur"
