Never Give Up (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 16. Lost.

A/N this👆 Is what Steffi looks like in the book :)

Marlee POV)

I look to Taylor, "We have to search for her." I grab his hand dragging him to the door.

We explained to everyone why I'm still alive and everything. Right now we're all gonna go searching for Steffi.

"It's raining though, it's gonna be harder-" I cut Nash off.

"Nash! She's my sister! I feel like she wouldn't of left without telling anyone. She has a reason. What if she's in trouble?" I walk to the front door.

"You guys can stay, I'm going." I open the door.

"Might wanna change. Your in your PJs." Taylor smiles.

I sigh and jog up the steps. I run into me and Taylor's room. I throw out clothes and put on black skinny jeans, combat boots, my dark blue tank, my black light weight coat.

I run back out down the stairs. Everyone stands ready to go, "We'll help." Bradley nods.

I nod, "Each of us split up." I say.

I run out the door into the pouring rain, "It's pitch black out here!" Nash complains.

"It is nighttime!" Mahogany states.

"I'll go this way." I say running into the forest.

"Marlee!" Taylor yells.

I start running deeper into the forest. I slip in mud and gasp as I fall on my back, feeling the mud smeared all over my back. I make a disgusted face. Taylor catches up and help me get up. He dusts my back off even though it doesnt help, it only makes it worse. I shake my head and look down to see an indent of a foot print with water in it. I kneel down, ¨She went this way." I say.

I stand and start running in the direction. I swiftly jump over a log. Taylor follows right behind me. I breath in and out, ¨Where is she." I mutter.

I stop in my tracks as I see her phone laying on the cold wet grass. My eyes widen, I pick up her phone to see the screen cracked. She must of dropped or thrown it. I look up and breath in heavily.

A cliff.

I walk faster and run towards it. I stop a foot or two away from the edge. I look down and swallow. A lake or some type of river lays below. I look back to Taylor, ¨Did someone take her?" He asks.

I shake my head, ¨I don't think so.. that or she was trying to get Matt and someone tricked her, but she'd tell us..¨ I trail looking down at the lake.

Taylor sighs, ¨Its pouring out. We're not gonna get far finding her. We should wait till morning." He says holding my arm.

I sigh, "Your right. She probably passed through here or something." I turn around.

The path we went on is gone. The mud marks we left are gone, I groan, "What?" Taylor asks.

"We're lost! In a pouring thunder storm." I shake my head and get out my phone.

I walk under a tree and cover it to make sure it doesn't get wet, "Shit." I mutter.

"No signal?" Taylor asks hoping it's a no.

"Yeah." I roll my eyes.

"What do we do?" He comes up to me.

Damn he looks sexy in pouring rain. His hair is dripping down onto his face.. His clothes are soaked and his shirt is sticking to his stomach revealing some abs through his shirt.
