Chapter 3

Marisa's Pov

I look worriedly at the watch laying flat on the grass. Harry was given that by his great grandmother before she died and ever since then he never took it off. Even if he did take it off I'm sure he wouldn't leave it on our schools grass.

The whole time in class I nervously bite on my fingernails. It just doesn't seem like him to not come to school with letting me know. It's also not like him to not respond to my texts or calls; something's not right.

"Miss? Are you okay.. you look drowsy." The teacher says to me with concern.

"Drowsy? I'm completely fine." I it off since my classmates are now looking at me like I need to go see a doctor.

"I would advise you to go the the nurses office." The teacher says while dialing something on the phone. A couple moments later after talking he tells me to start walking to the nurses office.

"Hey Monica, can you walk her there just incase something bad happens?"

"Yes Mr.Stuart." A girl named Monica shyly says. She hurriedly stands up without making eye contact with me.

The girl and I walk quietly out of digital art and into the fairly empty hallways.

"Hey Monica I'm not going to go to the nurses."

"What do you mean? You don't look all that well." She says with a small voice.

"Yeah.. can you just cover for me? Tell Mr.Stuart that the nurse said I could go home today."

"Oh no, I don't lie." She says while twirling the end of her pink skirt. I groan in frustration since I really just want to walk to Harry's house instead of being here for the next couple hours.

"Tell him whatever the hell you want then, I'm leaving." I say to her before rushing off. She tries to call after me but I just continue to head out of the school.

I walk in the chilly weather towards Harry's house which is around the block from here. The wind slaps my face every time I try to speed up my walking and it made my hair look like I was born in a zoo, so I slow down which makes me getting to Harry's neighborhood a little later than I wanted to.

I walk slowly in his neighborhood for a couple more moments until I see his tan two story house with his brothers car parked on the side. I happily walk up the driveway since Harry may be in there. When I knock on the door I don't get a respond, so I begin to knock a little harder. Finally his older brother Max opens the door with crying eyes. I feel my stomach churn as his facial expression stays sad.

"If you're here for Harry, don't bother. He never came home yesterday." Max says with a croaky voice.

"What? Maybe he-"

"Maybe he what? There's no explanation for this! Harry never does this." Max loudly yells while running his hands continuously through his hair.

"Well I guess we can't say never anymore since he did it Max! Maybe he decided to take take a walk and stay at a motel."

"What the fuck? That sounds so stupid Marisa." He says to me and starts to close the door.

"Wait! I have some information."

"What is it." He says with no emotion.

"My brother said that he saw Harry nervously walking yesterday."

"Nervously?"

"Yeah Danny said he looked like he was trying to get away from someone." I tell him with tears streaming down my face.

"And also I saw his gold watch lying on the grass outside of school."

"Did you go and get it?" Max asks with wide eyes.

"No I came here instantly."

"What the hell! Get in my car so we can go get it." Max says while quickly grabbing his coat and keys.

Max and I simultaneously get in the car and he starts the ignition. He drives recklessly to the school for a few minutes until we are parked out front. We both get out and I lead him to where I saw it.

"Well? Where is it." Max says confused while looking at the grass.

"Right here." I tell him with the gold watch in my hand. Max gasps at the watch and quickly grabs a hold of it.

"Didn't you see this? There's blood on it Marisa."

When I look down at it that's exactly what I see. Harry's gold implated watch with specks of light blood that looked like they were mixed with tears.

"He was here."
