Remenissions (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 61

Martina's POV

I agreed with Matt, it was time to call the police, Lana had been missing all day, none of us had seen her.

"I'll go over and talk to someone at the desk." He muttered.

The poor guy look exhausted and worried, he looked really worried.

"I'll come." I told him, turning to follow him. We needed to call somebody, Lana was gone and we needed to find her.

I stood with Matt at the desk as one of the girls came over, smiling. "Can I help you?" She asked in a thick accent.

"Um." Matt said. "One of our friends had gone missing, none of us have seen her since........." He glanced at me.

"Um about 8 am." I said quickly.

"Yeah so we were wondering if you could contact the police for us." He asked her.

She smiled widely at him. "Sir, I'm sure you're worried about your friend, but perhaps he's off sight seeing or at the beach."

"He is a she." Matt snapped. "And she's not off sight seeing." How could he explain that his psychotic ex had shown up?

"Oh excuse me." She apologised. "My advice to you is to wait until the morning before contacting the police, because at this point they wouldn't do anything anyway."

"Are you serious?" I snapped. This was unbelievable, Lana could be dead and she was telling us to not worry until morning.

"Yes." She said smiling. "I know you're worried, but I'm sure your friend will show up soon."

Matt groaned and turned, walking back to Brian. "That was a waste of time." He snapped.

"What?" Brian asked, looking at me.

"The police won't do anything yet." I explained. "Not until her body shows up." And I burst into tears.

"Marty." Brian said, pulling me close. "You're being dramatic again."

Well I couldn't help it, Lana was out there somewhere and it was getting dark. "Well it's true." I cried and he smiled, shaking his head at me.

"Right." Brian said. "Let's have a quick drink, think about where she might be, she honestly can't have gone far."

Matt nodded, following him over to a seat, we sat down while Brian went and ordered us a drink.

"Brian's right Marty." Matt said as we sat down. "She can't be far."

"Well why haven't we seen her." I said and both of us sat there, letting that statement hang in the air.

"What a fucking mess." Brian said, sitting down and placing a coke in front of me and Matt, a beer for himself.

Matt and I nodded, it was a huge mess.

"What if....." I started but Matt cut me off.

"No Marty." He mumbled. "No, she's fine, somewhere."

Well I certainly hoped she was.

"Did you talk to Courtney?" Brian asked Matt and he nodded.

"Yeah, I think she got it." He replied. "Though I'm not entirely sure."

"I'd say she didn't." Brian muttered

"What?" Matt asked, looking confused, but his question was answered as Courtney pulled out a chair and joined us.

Matt's eye's nearly popped out of his head, but before he could say anything she started.

"What's everyone doing tonight?" She chirped. "We should go out for dinner or something."
