Thrown Into Trouble

Vanished? What Happened?

Blake's pov
It's 1 am on Friday February 7th. Me and Dylan are just getting home, and we are exhausted although we have been exhausted for almost two weeks now. "I could sleep for the next three days" Dylan says "I know love, and we can since it's Friday, so we have all of today and the weekend to catch up on sleep. With everything that had been going on at work we haven't been sleeping but maybe two hours a night for almost 2 weeks now. But now that we finally fixed the issue or at least we are pretty sure we did we can finally get some sleep. Running on coffee, energy drinks, and hardly any sleep for that long would drive anyone crazy, I'm surprised we are both still functioning as well as we are. We took the whole week off of school so we could just worry about work and figuring out who was hacking into our systems trying to get information and erasing certain information from our systems. We haven't even been home for more than a few minutes since Sunday morning, we have been taking our 2 hour naps at work in our office on our sofas and we only came home for new clothes and different papers we needed for work that we didn't have with us. We make our way upstairs to finally get to sleep in our bed "love does something seem different to you?" I ask, I don't know why but it seems too quiet and like something is missing I just can't tell what it is. Dylan nods "yeah something seems off, like something is missing I just can't figure out what" Dylan says "well maybe once we get some decent sleep we will remember" I say "yeah probably" Dylan says. We quickly changed into our pajamas once we got to our room and the second we turned the lights off and laid down we were out for the night.

I woke up feeling refreshed, like I just had the best sleep of my life. In a way I did since I haven't gotten much sleep. I look at the time and it's 1 pm, we slept for about 12 hours and it was amazing after the lack of sleep we have had. I look around and something feels off again like it did last night like something is missing, or more like someone. After a minute of thinking about it, it comes to me and practically smacks me in the face. I turn to Blake and shake him trying to wake him up, "Blake" I say continuously while still shaking him. Blake groans and rubs his eyes before opening them and looking at me, "what?" he asks his voice thick with sleep after just waking up "where is Alex?" I ask. Any sleepiness Blake still had completely goes away as he sits up and looks around clearly wide awake now, "I have no idea" Blake says. We both instantly get up and start searching the house for him, where could he have gone? Why is he suddenly gone? Did something happen to him? These thoughts run around in my head as my thoughts get worse about what could have happened with every place I search for him only to find he isn't here. I met Blake in The kitchen after looking everywhere "did you find him?" I ask and he shakes his head "no" Blake says. I feel my chest getting tight and my heart is beating harder and faster than it ever has before and I feel like I can't get enough air like I can't breathe in as deeply as I usually can. I have never felt like this before in my entire life. Blake grabs a hold of me and holds me in his arms "love breathe, it's alright we'll find him" Blake says. Am I having a panic attack? I have never had one before.

I hardly get anxiety unless it comes to something bad happening to Alex or Blake but mostly Alex since I know Blake can fight and can protect himself. What in the hell is going on? It takes Blake about 20 minutes to get me to calm down. I have never been this upset or panicked in my life, something clearly isn't right here. I might be the more emotional one out of me and Blake but I have never been this emotional, maybe as a kid but I hardly ever cry or feel this way. I don't even fully know how to describe how I feel because it is so foreign to me. "Where could he have gone?" I ask quietly as Blake still has his arms around me holding onto me, "he had to of left on his own, all his stuff is gone. Even Ginger, Shadow, and Snowflake are gone along with their things. Meaning no one took him" Blake says. Knowing that makes me feel better but it doesn't mean he couldn't get taken, he's safer here than out and about especially if he is by himself. I stop for a second and think about what I just thought. Yes, with the people that don't like us it is safer for him to be here, but I have never thought he wasn't safe going out. Yeah, maybe in not great areas I have but just in general I haven't. I don't understand why I am all of a sudden thinking this way, as I said something is off and not adding up right. I turn to look at Blake "we need to find him" I say and Blake nods but suddenly lets go of me and puts his hand on his head "are you ok?" I ask "I have a headache all of a sudden also i'm really hot and sweaty" Blake says and you can see just by looking at him he is sweaty. "Are you getting sick?" I ask "I hope not" Blake says "i'll go get you a Tylenol and the thermometer to see if you have a fever" I say before walking off to the bathroom.
