Nothing Like Us (Maylor)

Chapter Twenty Three

Taylor's POV

My eyes began to droop closed, "awe don't go to sleep Tay" I heard the devil herself whisper.

"Just let me go" I coughed a little, my eyes opened a little not being able to see because of the blurriness.

"Oh sweetie I would but I plan to let you go when you get addicted" she said, her voice disguised as a sweet caring mother spitting nasty mean words.

I slowly looked up at her, the world around me blurry, I opened my mouth but a moan came out when she stuck the needle in my arm.

"Goodnight Taylor" she whispered in my ear before standing up and walking out turning off the bright lights and exiting the cellar that I was in.

Carter's POV

I walked into my house throwing down my book bag that I've been carrying around all day long.

I knew I had to call my father and ask him for some help to find Taylor, I sighed "mom I'm home" I yelled walking into the living room and grabbing the house phone on my way.

My mom walked in and smiled, "hi Carter" she smiled walking over and taking a seat next to me, she looked at the house phone in my hand and raised an eyebrow basically asking what I was doing with it.

"Taylor's missing. I'm gonna call dad and see what he can do" I said slowly looking up at her.

She straightened her back probably trying to recover after hearing this news, "oh. How long has he been missing? Are you sure he didn't run away? Does Mrs. Espinosa know he's gone?" She asked a hundred questions at once.

"About a day and a half, yes I'm sure he didn't, and I don't know if Matt told her yet" I answered rubbing my temples, I just really hope that Taylor's alright I wouldn't know what to do if he wasn't.

"You know you have to wait two full days before you can file a missing person report" she said which I knew already but I had to at least try.

I nodded and bit my lip dialing my fathers cell into the house phone, my dad had moved out like three years ago we don't talk much but we do talk some and I am still his son even if he has other kids with his new wife.

"Yes Carter" I rolled my eyes at the rude tone.

"I need your help" I said quickly hoping that he wouldn't start an argument with me or anything because if so I'd go off.

"If it's relationship problems then it's for your mother to handle" dick.

"Trust me I wouldn't call for that. You remember Taylor right, bandanas, brown hair kinda tall" I described Taylor, the more I talked about him the more I missed him.

"Yes Carter I know who Taylor is" he replied bluntly.

"Okay well he went missing and we've looked everywhere, we called his phone and he didn't pick up plus Matt said he hasn't seen him" I explained taking a deep breath at the end due to how fast I spit that out.

"How long has he been missing?" My father asked.

"More than 48 hours" I lied but for a good reason, I knew Taylor wouldn't just take off like that and since him and his dad left off on bad terms I figured he had something to do with this.

My mom smacked my arm a little more unlikely because I just lied but she didn't say anything meaning I lied for a good cause which I did.

"I'll get a report on it, do you have any idea to where he had gone or if he was in any danger?" He asked causing me to bite my lip.

"Actually yes, he is in a little trouble, his dad used to beat him and Taylor just recently got out of the house and his father has a warrant out for his arrest" I explained looking at my mom who just nodded telling me that I was doing the right thing but for some reason I didn't feel like I was, but that was just my selfishness coming out.

I knew it was right, "I'll send a cruiser by his fathers house and check for any evidence of a crime or a kidnapping" he said and I nodded "I'll call you soon Carter." He paused "and please stay out of this" he finished and with that he ended the call.

I looked over at my mom and sighed "I feel like I'm doing something wrong" I frowned setting the house phone down next to me.

"Your doing the right thing Carter" she smiled and pulled me into a hug.

"Thanks mom" I whispered into her hair.

Matthews POV

I decided to go home just invade Taylor would show up. I was really scared, this kind of thing has never happened to me or to any of my friends before.

I was now biting my nails because I was so worried, I picked up my phone and dialed his number once again but for the millionth time it went to his voicemail.

"Matt calm down he'll be okay" Cole said from the door, I frowned and looked up at him.

"Your just saying that to get me not to worry so much" I mumbled. He walked over to me and sat down on the bed beside me.

"Yes that and because I'm telling the truth, no matter what happens he will be fine and you wanna know why" he paused and looked at me "because your going to be there for him, your going to help him through the emotional pain he is going through, and that's even if he's kidnapped for all you know Matt he could have been asleep under a bridge for all this time" cole said causing me to laugh a little at the end.

A couple tears slipped from my eyes and Cole brought me into a hug rubbing my back and telling me it would be alright in my ear.

I wish I could believe Cole because honestly it would be much easier that way but I have this awful feeling in my gut and it wouldn't go away.

I slowly let go of him and pulled back whipping off my tears with the sleeves of my hoodie I was wearing, technically it wasn't my hoodie it was Taylor's but I couldn't help it.

I really hope he is alright.

I jumped a little to the sudden knocking on the front door, I looked over at Cole and he shrugged.

I bit my lip and got up walking out of my bedroom with my little brother following behind, I walked down the stairs to see Eric answer the door.

He glanced back at us and stepped out of the house shutting the door behind him, I looked over at Cole and once again he shrugged.

I made my way over to the hug window behind the couch and peeped past the curtains "is that the cops?" Cole asked and I nodded even though I had no idea why they were here at my house anyways.

Eric walked back in but the police didn't leave, my eyes followed him until he disappeared into my parents bedroom.

"What do you think could be going on?" I asked Cole.

He looked over at me "maybe it's about Taylor?" He said more as a question then an answer.

Seconds later my mom and dad walked out and glanced at us, "please go upstairs until Eric says is okay to come downstairs" my mother said gently.

I sighed and got up, I walked upstairs and back into my room flopping down on the bed. I looked into the hallway looking for Cole but it didn't look like he was coming.

I laid back on the bed and closed my eyes letting another tear slip from my eyes.

"MATT" I heard Cole yell as he ran upstairs, I shot up seeing Cole run into the room.

"What?" I asked clueless to why he was yelling and running into my room.

"I stayed downstairs to listen to mom, dad and the cops and they found him. They found Taylor" he said causing a smile to stretch across my face.
