The Deep End. C.B

Chapter Thirteen.

Expect the unexpected.

[[Colbys pov.]]

After coming back from food shopping with Sam, the house seems quiet... far too quiet and Sam calls out for Gemma as I look around the house for Lizzie.

"She's not here."

Gemma says from the stairs and she had her phone in her hand, looking down at it with a frown.

"I texted her like 100 times even called her and no response."

Gemma said and that's when I started to panic and I rush to Gemma.

"Where did she go?"

I ask her and Gemma shook her head.

"I don't know Colby, I swear."

Gemma said with tears in her eyes and I shook her shoulders.

"Why did you let her leave by herself?!"

I yell at her and Sam immediately cuts in just pushing me away from Gemma.

"Calm down man, it's not her fault."

Sam says and I picked up my car keys.

"I'm going to find her."

I say as I step outside and I hear both Sam and Gemma following behind me.

"Wait! We coming with you."

Sam called out to me and Gemma looks rather concerned.

"Gemma... why did she leave in the first place?"

I ask curiously and Gemma swallows a thick lump in her throat looking rather nervous all of a sudden.

"It's not my place to say... I'm sorry Colby."

Gemma says as I step inside of my car just waiting for the others to get in.

"Gemma just tell us what's going on? He's her boyfriend after all."

Sam says as I started up the car and drives down the road, my hands shaking because what if something happened to her?

"She always answers my calls... no matter where she is."

I said as I take a deep breath to calm myself down and that's when I saw the road blocked off by police and fire engines.

What the fuck?

"Great."

I mumble underneath my breath and I felt sams arm upon my shoulder.

"Dude... isn't that Lizzies car?"

Sam says as he gestured towards the direction through the window, I turn my gaze towards it and my heart sank in my chest.

A car that looks like Lizzies was smashed up against a tree pretty badly.

"It could be anyone."
