Don't Leave Me... Again |[TMF]|

14. A Father's Obsession

Jake's POV-

The bright lights and harsh flashes of the cameras overwhelmed my senses as I slowly opened my eyes. I squinted against the glare, trying to orient myself and make sense of my surroundings. But before I could gather my thoughts, my focus settled on the police officers surrounding me. They were taking pictures, documenting the scene.

I felt warmth around my body. The tips of my fingers felt the fuzz of the blanket. But that was gone in an instant. I was sat up against a cabinet and I saw many cops and officers all throughout the room. Some putting objects in plastic bags.

For a moment, I felt a deep sense of unease wash over me. I tried to stand up holding onto the wall for support. I waddled to a nearby officer, he had a face full of disgust and anger?

"What happened?" I whispered, my voice almost imperceptible in the chaotic noise. He gave me a groan of annoyance and shoved me out the way. He hurriedly walked out the door holding a clipboard. I felt a lump forming in my throat, unable to swallow it down. I looked around.

I couldn't see Drew anywhere in the room.

I checked outside to see if there might be an ambulance. A sign that he could be in good sides. Not seconds after seeing the bright vehicle my legs ran fast. Dropping the blanket on to the floor. I stumbled and nearly fell, but that didn't stop me to see Drew.

He has to be ok. He needs to be.

I stood in front of the open doors of the vehicle. Huffing, hunching over my knees catching my breath, I looked in.

He wasn't there.

What? But I don't understand... Has he already been taken to the hospital?

Without any notice my breathing quickened again. I hurriedly looked around and saw Hailey running to me. However, Luke and Zander were to talking to a cop.

She had a worried look on her face as she grabbed onto me. "Where were you?" She asked panicked. I look down at her unable to for any words.

I was disorientated. I didn't know what was happening. Maybe because I didn't want to know.

"I-" i wanted to say something. Ask about what was happening. However, I get cut off when Zander and Luke come over alongside them was the cop.

As I looked at the police officers, their expressions turned from concern to confusion, and then to disgust. It was as if they had just seen something that they couldn't comprehend. I was filled with a sense of dread, a feeling that something terrible had happened.

"Where is he?" I asked frantically, my voice cracking with fear and tears streaming down my cheeks. "What happened to him? Where is my boyfriend?"

The police officer exchanged a glance to the other officers, their faces heavy with melancholy. They took a deep breath before speaking, and I could hear the sadness in their words.
