[ Simon's POV ]

I thought that Lottie would say no yesterday when I asked her if she'd like to get the girl back however, I was wrong.

"Jide, you invited her. Rebekah found her number on your phone can you get her number up for me?" I asked, I had an idea that could potentially work.

"Sure." Jide searched through his phone book to find 'Charlie'. "Here." He through his phone onto my lap, I typed it into my phone so I always had it.

"Maybe her phone tracker is on?" Freezy perked up. My eyes went wide.

"Why didn't I think of that!?" We both laughed together for the first time in ages, maybe it was just time to put things behind us. "Right..." I say aloud finding the tracker app on my phone.

"Is it turned on, off her phone?" Freezy asks. I nod, it's just searching it should give me a location soon.

I was surrounded by people who watched my phone until a location popped up. A lot of the others were at their flats finding things out. We assigned things to everybody, like finding her Facebook, her Twitter and any other social media she may have.

"Fuck!" I shout.

"What?" Jide asked concerned. I through my phone onto the couch.

"She turned her tracker off, she must have clocked that we were trying to connect to her phone." I bit my lip huffing, of course this was going to be hard but I thought Freezy had hit it nail on the head first time.

"Guys I found out her snap name, if one of us makes a fake snapchat account we could add her and maybe find out what she is doing?" Tobi asked. I feel like a proper stalker but she done it to us, a bit of payback never hurts.

"Okay, Tobs I'll make the fake account." Ethan replied as Tobs walked over and sat and chatted with him about this whole thing.

"Okay, so we've found her snapchat." I sigh not quit giving up I feel we have hope. 

"Rebekah you met her once, she said it was outside her flat..." Lottie perked up obviously just remembering.

"Yeah, shit!" Rebekah had forgot. "Um, you know the flats on the other side of the stadium." She pointed out of the window. I nodded, another thing to look at.

"A couple of us should go check her flat out." Josh mentioned.

"I'll go." Lottie said sitting up putting her shoes on properly. "You coming si?" She asked. Weird, I haven't heard her call me that since we broke up.

"Sure, what about you Vik you in?" I asked him considering he is pretty smart and figures out quite a few things by himself.

"Yeah sure." He pulls on his coat. "Bye guys." He shouts as we walk out the door.

"Right, I'm pretty sure I know someone who lives in the flat." Vik tells us. "She might know Charlie or at least have come across her."

"Well how about we visit her and ask her?" Lottie asks Vik - making sure that'd be okay with him.

"Sure I'll drop her a text now." Vik agrees pulling out his phone as we make our way down the steep stairs. "Texting and walking down stairs do not mix man." Vik groaned, causing Lottie and I to chuckle.

"Saved your life." I pretended to push Vik down the stairs then pull him back up. Lottie and him both laughed.

"You are a dick." He pushes me laughing.

"I do try." Even in the hardest times we can make light of things which is good. It's hard to let go of things but when you have people around you making it easier, it's a whole lot better.

We eventually got to the underground car park, we took Vik's but I decided to drive.

"Simon I'm not sure I trust you." Vik held onto the seat, Lottie was sitting in the back giggling.

"Vik, I got this." I said coolly, just as I stalled the car.

"No, I certainly don't trust you." He full on laughed. "Right come on." Vik said pointing to the road. Just as we left someone's phone went off.

"Was that, the girl?" Lottie asked leaning over to look over Vik's shoulder.

"Lottie sit back." I pushed her slightly, as I laughed, considering all of the crashes it doesn't hurt to be careful.

"Alright, Dad." She laughed.

"Yeah, it's Maddie. She said its all cool if we come over." Vik smiled putting his phone back in his pocket, awkwardly.

"Shit! Is she the one who was dancing with Ethan?" Lottie piped up. Tapping her finger on the seat in front.

"Yeah, brown hair, fairly short." He confirmed. "At least this time the girl Ethan is going for isn't a bitch." We all laughed. I remember his ex, Britney. Thinking about it makes me shiver, she was horrid.

"Oh, I bet Ethan will be disappointed when he hears where we are." I sniggered. My eyes were fully focused on the road, I made sure to take a lot more care on the road after all that has happened. "Are they these flats here?" I pointed as I slowed the car down.

Vik stared at the flats and the numbers on the side of the building. "Yes, it is." I nodded and pulled into the car park. I found a parking space and pulled in successfully.

"Come on. I wanna find out where the bitch lives." Lottie hoped out of the car. Slamming it shut, we were still in the car by the time she found the door to go up the stairs.

"Lottie, slow down." Vik's legs took off after her. I sighed locking the car.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Alex we've left her with her Nan for a couple of weeks it's only been two days but I miss her. Rebekah and I have found a flat up here and are waiting to get the keys, it's all paid for we just need the finial yes to move in.

My feet drag me up the stairs. Part of me wants to do this and get her back the other half doesn't.

"Here." Vik points to number 17. He knocked, I stood against the wall waiting for her to answer.

The door opened slowly as a girls head peered round. "Vik!" She said grabbing him and pulling him in for a hug.

"You okay?" He chuckled into her shoulder. It's funny how small he is, such a shortarse.

"Yeah come in." She stepped aside to let the three of us in.

"You alright babe?" Lottie hugged Maddie. They both exchanged smiles. I then walked in.

"Hiya." She smiled sweetly to me.

"You alright." I returned the smile and carried on through her flat to reach the living room. I sat myself down on the couch.

"Right, so you want help with what exactly?" She asked bringing us all cans of Coke.

"This girl called Charlie, she lives in these flats we were wondering if you knew where she lived or even if you've seen her around and can confirm she lives here." I explained.

"Charlie, Charlie, Charlie." She thought aloud. "I'm thinking she is the bitch, who is constantly rude and loud 24/7." She tried thinking. "I'm pretty sure I know what flat she lives in, I think it's 14."

"Have you ever spoke?" Lottie asked simply.

"Yeah, she talks about you guys as a 'group' a lot. She wants Ethan, she's all about him and always talks about him. It's him and Josh." Maddie raised her eyebrows.

"So, for some reason she is obsessed with us but especially Ethan and Josh." I tried to understand the situation a little more.

"I mean you could use one of them as bait." Maddie suggested. Lottie stared at me as if to say 'we should do that'

"That's a good shout." Vik nodded.

"I'm gonna ring Josh." Lottie got up out of her seat, then made her way out of the room.

I'm scared that they won't want to do it, that they'll think we're using them but that's not how I want it to come across.

Let's hope this all goes to plan.

"Guys!" Lottie shouts, what?
