"Have you tried looking in the cafeteria?" Megan suggests as I lean against the nearest tree, taking a deep breath.

"Yeah, I looked there after checking the parking lot." I reply.

I've been looking for Harry all morning, after he said goodbye and went back to his stuff to go shower he never came back like he said he would and he never came to find me this morning. It's 4 in the afternoon now and still no sign of him.

I even went to the treehouse to see if he's there or get signal to see if he sent me a message, but there was nothing.

"Maybe he just went for a hike this morning along the lake or up to the stream or something."

"No, he would've said something, and I don't think he'd go alone." I shake my head and try scrape my brain to find some sort of clue as to where he might be.

Megan and I walk back to the lake house where my parents are carrying our stuff out the main door.

"Girls would you please help us out here. " my mom calls out before gesturing to the door.

Megan and I walk into the lake house and grab some of our luggage as Eddy walks into the room.

"Hello ladies, moving out already?" Eddy jokes as he grabs Megan's waist.

"Yeah, couldn't take your nonsense anymore." I roll my eyes and Eddy laughs.

"Need some help?" He offers as I nod and hand him a bag.

We all walk out and pack the bags into my parents car.

"Girls we need you to go into town and get a few things from the store for us." My mom says as she hands me a list of things she needs.

"You can take the car after we've unpacked it." She suggests.

"Ma'am I don't mind taking them, I was going to head into town anyways." Eddy smiles and says.

"Thank you, that would be great help." Mom nods and smiles, "We'll see you later then."

My parents and brother climb into our car and drive back to the campsite as Megan, Eddy and I walk across the lot to Eddy's car.

Within a few minutes we are on the road heading towards the town. I sit in the backseat and stare out the window while Megan and Eddy sing along to a new song on the radio by some Mendes guy. It's pretty catchy.

I hope Harry's okay. I'm actually starting to really worry now. What if he did go on a hike and has fallen and injured himself and can't get back? No I can't be this negative. I'm sure he's fine. I just wish he would've let me know.

We arrive in the town and Eddy parks in front of the grocery store.

"We are gonna take a walk, send us a text when you're finished and we'll come back alright?" Megan says to me as Eddy grabs her hand and walks down the sidewalk.

I walk into the store and look down my moms list, hoping to find all these things in this store. I walk down the aisles in somewhat of a trance grabbing all the things mom needs. Since when did I become the girl who needs to know what her guy is doing every second of the day?

I pay for the items before grabbing the plastic bags and walking back to the car, still upset.

Maybe I should grab a cup of coffee from the café down the street before texting Eddy and Megan. I'm sure some caffeine will cheer me up a bit.

I walk slowly down the sidewalk, trying to keep my mind off Harry. I hate not being with him. Where is he?
Finally I reach the coffee shop and walk inside to a warm, lovely smell of coffee beans. Nothing more calming than that scent.
