Andrew POV

I woke up on my bed, covered in blanket. The letter is still in my hands. Weird, I don't remember pulling the covers up.

I sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing my sleepy face. The letter was all crumpled and torn. I must've held it too tight. I brought it to my nose and sniffed it, recalling that familiar yet distance smell.

"Where are you now my love?" I whispered to the paper as if it will bring me to him.

"Andrew, you're awake." Melson barged in with even knocking. Rude.

"What again Mel?" I make my way to the bathroom.

"Alpha Xavier told me to escort you to school. Teachers are asking for you."

"I refuse to. I need to search for leads about where Ben might be. If you kind enough to tell me now I could save up all the efforts." I splashed ice cold water to my face.

"How many time do I have to repeat myself? I. Don't. Know. Okay?" He said annoyingly.

"You better be." I snapped.

"He pushed away everyone off his life except for his family and Janice." He picked up the letter I dropped on the floor.

"Wait. So Janice knows where he is?" A light of hope brighten my mood.

"What? I don't know anything. Don't ask me." He covered his mouth, running out of the room.

"Janice..." I thought, looking into the mirror.

Damn, I can pull of as a spawn of Satan. I look like hell. Tangled and greasy hair, unshaven beard, dark circles under my eyes, puffy eyes after crying almost every night and chapped lips. I couldn't look more worse.

"What happened to you? Clean yourself up Andrew."

That's probably what he'll say if he saw me like this. I miss his melodic voice, his face. Everything. I almost forgotten what he'd looked like.

A tear escaped my eyes. I closed my eyes, holding my tears back.

"Let's go." I swung my bag over my shoulder.

"Wow you look hot." Melson gasped.

"Shut up and drive." I got into his car.

"Okay so our destination?" He slammed his door shut.

"Are you kidding me right now?" I hissed.

"Okay sorry. To school we go. Yay..." He  started the car engine.

When we are on our way to school, I just remembered something really important.

"Do you know Janice?"

"Huh- who is that ha? Ha..." He stuttered. He's really a bad liar.

"Don't play with me now Mel!" I growled at him.

"Woah woah woah okay okay... She's Ben's best friend." He finally said.

"Do you know where to find her?"

"On this planet." He mumbled.

"Want me to snap your head?!" I'm starting to lose patience.
