Chapter 5: Believe

~4 Months Later~

Mike's POV

  4 months later and still no sight of my best friend. I havn't went to school in forever, I can't watch the news anymore because so many people are trying to look for her, and I never even left the house because there are posters of her everywhere and it just hurts knowing that she's gone. No one knows where she is. Everyone isn't giving up though. They believe that she is still alive somewhere. Everyone has been saying that she has been kidnapped and if she was, damn I would fucking rip that persons throat, I don't want anyone hurting Kristin at all she's been in enough pain already.

I heard my door open and in came my mom,"Mike, you barely eaten and you've been in your room for so long now, get out, have some su-"

"Mom! You don't get it! She is like another sister to me! I can't recover over this!" She sat next to me on my bed and held me in her arms, I couldn't help but started bawling my eyes out in her shoulder. I needed this.

"Mikey, please listen to me when I say this." My mom lifted my head up where my eyes met hers, "Everyone is not giving up on finding her. We believe that she is alive, we believe that she is ok. Don't let the overthinking kill you. She maybe just wanted to be alone for a while." I looked away from her.

"FOR 4 MONTHS?! SHE WOULD'VE BEEN BACK ALREADY!" I hate yelling at my mom, but I couldn't keep this anger in me.

"Know what? Figure this out on your own I'm done trying." Right after she said that, she walked out and slammed my door shut.

I sat on my bed forever now thinking of where she is. I couldn't think of anything so I got up and screamed and threw a bunch of random ass newspapers for my school project across my room and something caught my eye on one of the newspapers. I picked it up by the sight of it. It had Cole's ex Annabelle on it. It showed where she died on the page about her. She was gone for a while, got shot on the bridge, and died. I looked close on the newspaper and saw something in the picture it was a faded face in the back. It looked a little like Cole!

Oh. My. God! Cole killed Annabelle! He's going to do the same to Kristin! I have to make sure though to see if it is really him. I circled the look alike of Cole on the newspaper and snook out of the house without my parents noticing. I went on my bike and rode away getting prepared for what I'm about to find out if it is really Cole or not.

Kristin's POV

"I'm not going to eat." I said as I was sitting at the wooden table with steak in front of me. I havn't eaten for a long ass time now I lost so much weight from not eating the food Cole was giving me and for throwing up from starvation.

"God damn it, Kristin! You havn't ate since the day you fucking got here! Just eat already!" Cole was getting really irritated with me for the 4 months he spent with me. I told him if he would let me go than I wouldn't be like this to him.

"Not panning on it." I love being sassy with him because he gets so mad and all he does is think that I'm going to obey him and eat.

He put both hands on the table across from me, "When will you listen to me?!" I stood up and put both of my hands on the table across from him.

"Maybe when I get out of this Hell!" He couldn't take my sassiness anymore so he took my dish and threw it against the wall and made it go into tiny pieces. I looked at him and started to back away, but he pushed me up against the wall and gritted his teeth.

"When you get out of this Hell is going to be when your dead!" After he said those dreadful words to me he walked away leaving me crumbling to the floor crying my eyes out. I didn't want to die, not like this.

~Flashback~

Kristin's POV

At the park with Mike I decided to ask him something.

"I have a question, Mike." Mike looked at me.

"What's up?" He asked curiously.

I took a deep sigh and asked, "What would you do if I died?" Mike just looked at me all sad-like.

"I would eat a whole bowl of ice cream and stay in my room and cry for weeks." I laughed at that because I found it adorable. He looked at me and asked,"Why did you ask that?"

I smiled and said,"I just wanted to see if the most important people in my life would miss me, sometimes it feels like they wouldn't." Mike looked at me and smiled and hugged me. I am so thankful to have a friend like him.

~End Of Flashback~

Mike's POV

As I rode to my destination a lot of thoughts were going on in my head like, Is Kristin alive? Is she scared? Is she safe? I finally made it to where I had to go.

I parked my bike on the side walk and walked up to the porch of the house. I was nervous and worried at the same time. I just told myself that this is for Kristin. I knocked on the door a couple of times. Finally, it took about 5 minutes for a 50 year old women to answer the door.

"Hi, can I help you?" I took a deep breath and let the question I've been dying to ask since the minute I got here.

"Is Cole here?"
