|Chapter Forty One|

*Norman's POV*

I began to find it really strange how everyone was asking where Gemma was. Was she not on set or at home? I've left her to get hurt but by what? Jason.. After everything that has been happening today it only made me feel more and more terrible about myself or even about what I may have let happened. Who do I call though? Myla? Carlos? Ellie? No one? What if I'm too late and something bad has happened to her because I left her alone this morning after everything she has been through!

I pace back and forth back, trying to think about what is the best possible solution to going about this. I have sort of an idea but I'm not sure whether it will work, if I can't - It has to be you that saves Gemma not Charlie! My head begins to hurt, I'm thinking this all through so hard that it's beginning to hurt my head..Come on Norman think! You have to tell Carlos, he is always looking out for his Sister. I grab my phone out my back pocket and search for Carlos' number. When I do finally find it, I press dial and wait nervously for him to pick up but after the first few dials. I hear nothing from him but on the fourth try Carlos answers.

"Hey, sorry I missed the first few calls. What's wrong?" Carlos' expression was concerned and plain because I think he gathered that from my miss calls that it's important. "Yeah, I apologise for the calls but I was wondering if you were in LA" I know I should really be asking whether he has seen his sister but he may not even be in the state. "For the time being, I am. Why, has something happened to Gemma?" When Carlos asks this, I can't help but be silent for the time being, well I sigh which then I have to tell him. "I don't know about you but I've been asked so many times about where Gemma is. It's making me worry that if she isn't at home or not at set then something bad has happened, Jason has been the probably recently and I think that's who she's with somewhere" I manage to tell Gemma's brother, what's been happening (slightly) but I don't really hear much from him at the moment as silence fills the air between us.

"How long has she been gone? Do you know where Jason's house is?" Carlos began to ask so many questions but I guess it was only a step closer to finding my Girlfriend and his sister. "Uh, look Carlos I'm sorry for coming to you with this but I don't know who else to tell about it. She's been gone all day and I don't know, Gemma would be the ideal one to ask about that" A few things are said before we agree to meet at the house where Gemma was last meant to be..

(1 hour later, 8:00pm)

When I arrive at the house, Gemma's car is still parked outside the front. So was Carlos' vehicle but that was definitely not here this morning when I had left. As I approach the front door, it's unlocked which then I realise Carlos is inside. I step inside at the sight of Carlos frantically searching the rooms for any sign of where Gemma could possibly be, "There is literally no clue of her any where in this damn house!" I hear Carlos yell from one of the rooms. I join him in the room that he is in, "There has to be something! I can't leave her alone with that asshole!" I say slightly raising my voice before I begin to worry even more. Carlos gets up before snapping back and then handing me a note, "She's my sister! Do you really think I would let her be anywhere near that fucked up asshole!".

"Look I can see where you are coming from but remember she's my girlfriend! I hate Jason as much as you do right now and if he has hurt her then I will kill him!" When I finish speaking, I look down to the note and read it. 'To whoever is looking for her..she's safe with me! I will take very good care of her, if you want her back then come back to my house...' Jason had written his address on the other side of the note which was a surprise but after reading it, I hand it back to Carlos before turning around and heading out the room and towards the front door. "Wait! I need you to stay and here and clear up. I will get her co-worker, Charlie, to help me out" Wow! I can't believe he just say that, I'm not staying here!
