***BAN'S P.O.V.***

The party was going wild. I was drinking multiple shots with Evan. Tried, searching for Sasha, after a while since she left for the bathroom and I no longer saw her tonight.

"Hey man, where's Sasha?" I asked Evan who was hanging out with some girls tied around his arms.

"I have no idea." Evan answered.

"Dude, what the hell?! We shouldn't have left her alone." I screamed aloud.

"You're just being so paranoid, lad." he rolled his eyes.

"No, Evan! I'm just worried!" I corrected. "We are so getting in big trouble."

"Lightwood, they will think that you left her. Unlike me, I'm Evan Knight, known as Sasha's trusted best friend. We just knew you yesterday. They can't trust you as much as they trust me." he chuckled.

"Evan, if I was Sasha, I would rather have nothing than having a useless best friend like yourself." I told him, confidently. "So if you excuse me, I will be somewhere more important.

I was searching for Jershon, Sasha's older brother. He was with a girl, probably the same age as me.

"Jershon, can I talk with you for a moment?" I asked.

"Sure bud," he smiled and led us to the balcony. "So—what are we going to talk about?" he asked, drinking some red wine.

"It's Sasha—"

"Look pal, if you want to win my sister's heart then I'll be rooting for you, be my guest." he patted my back.

"Thanks bud, but this is for important than ever!" I sighed. "Sasha is missing."

He spits out the wine. "What happened?"

"She left for the bathroom and never came back! I asked Evan for help, but he thought that I was just being paranoid." I explained.

"That selfish bastard! I'm going to call her friends, maybe she went there." Jershon suggested. I nodded. He grabbed his phone and quickly texted Janna, Veronica and Kath. "They aren't with Sasha, Ban." he looked down.

"Bud, I'll look for her. Just go home, tell your parents or whatever." I suggested.

***SASHA'S P.O.V.***

My head is pounding. I couldn't really move. I felt drugged. I was completely close to puking. A nurse went inside my room and brought a bouquet of dead flowers.

"Hello Ms. Smith." she greeted. "I'm so glad that you're finally awake! I will be calling Dr. Roberts." she mentioned. "Oh and these are yours." she handed me the flowers.

"Were they alive when they were given or they just died?" I asked.

"Miss when they were given, they were already dead." she frowned.

"Oh it's fine, you can go now." I smiled.

She nodded and left the room. I tried crawling on the floor, the pain travelling through my leg until I reached the counter where the letter and the bouquet of dead flowers were placed. I took the letter and read it.

"Aww you little backstabber! The party was incredible, so sad that you had to faint though. You will regret the day you made me like this, Smith. Have fun guessing my true identity. What's mine is mine and you stole a part of me. Now it's your turn to try my pain."
- Chanel no. 1

Who the hell could this be? Britney?! She did say that she would make my life like hell, but this is too obvious! This can't be her.

I dialed Jershon's number through the hospital's telephone. "Hello?" he answered.

"Jershon! Thank GOD! I'm so happy to finally hear your voice, don't tell me that I left the party early!" I blabbered.

"Sasha, slow down. Is that really you?" he asked.

"Definitely! Why? What is going down?" I asked.

"You haven't contacted us in two days. We already filed a police record you know?" he yelled.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I'm in the hospital and—"

"Sasha, it's okay! I tracked your place, you're in the North-East UK Hospital ( I made that up ) ." he mentioned. "I'll be there, quick." he hung up the phone call with a shock on my face.

I need answers. How did I get here? Only Chanel no. 1 could know? I need to find that person.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Jershon!" I ran to him.

"Lil sis, let's bring you home!" he hugged me.

I signed the papers and surprisingly, someone payed for the bills..

When the got home, Ban, Evan, Janna, Kath and Veronica were by the driveway. As I stepped off the car, they all insisted in hugging me.

Janna, Kath and Veronica didn't even bothered talk to Ban and Evan. Not even eye contact. Maybe they must have fulfilled their promise to me. Two days ago, they were telling Ban and Evan on how their lives would be miserable once they leave me and I think they have something in plan...

I must say, if my parents knew about this, Jershon's life with be actual hell since they are very protective of me since I'm the youngest and the only girl.

"Sasha, we missed you." Kath grinned.

"You made us worried sick." Veronica said.

"You have seen Lightwood out there! We skipped school just to talk to the police into investigating." Janna smirked. "But Evan... please, he drank bottles and bottles of whiskey."

I looked over to the boys and they were totally embarrassed. By the looks of it, they looked so cute. They were blushing.

"Guys, you didn't have to." I grinned.

"Sash, it was our fault that you got lost." Ban admit.

"The girls even lectured us about being men..." Evan mumbled.

Everyone laughed. If I didn't get lost for two days, I wish that it would be like this everyday. Friends who cared and didn't leave. I must say, I think I'm moving on. And two people are making it easier for me.
