Loveless Boundaries

Chapter 5

Cole's P.O.V

Two days.

Its been two days since Stella has last called me, or texted.

I haven't heard from her in two days. I'm beginning to get worried. Heck, I was always worried about her. She told me about her past, and ever since then, she's always been afraid. And because she's always been afraid, I know something's not right, Usually, at least twice everyday, she'd call me and tell me about her crazy experiences with random people, or people who she thought were stalking her, or looking at her too much.. She was insecure, and that's why she needed me. Her soldier.

The next day, three days in to her not communicating with me, I decide it's time to go to the police station. I intentionally waited this long because usually if you report a person missing they shrug it off and say to wait another 48 hours. When I arrive to the police station, I ask to speak with a detective, and right away they transfer me to this guy named Detective Kelley. They place me in this small room, and minutes later he walks in. This guy doesn't look past 35 with no grey hair in sight.

"Hello, my name is Detective Kelley, I'll be working on your case. Now what seems to be the issue?" The detective spoke, pulling out his pen and turning to a new page on his clip board.

"My girlfriend's missing."

"How long has it been since you've spoken to her?" He scrunches up his eyebrows"

"Today makes 3 days."

"And what's her name?"

"Stella Baldwin." The detective looks up from his clip board in astonishment.

"Stella Baldwin. I worked on her case a few years back." He and I both look confused. "I always knew for some reason that he'd get his revenge one way or another, in or out of jail." He surprises me by saying. "Are you sure she hasnt just stayed at a motel?" I gve him a angry look for suggesting something so ludicrous. "Okay well I may be able to locate her. Ill put out an missing persons report."

"Do you think you'd be able to help me detective?" I ask pleading with my eyes, looking all desperate.

"Of course. I'll stop at nothing to have her safe again." He goes to the computer, and pulls up a mugshot of a man.

"Who is that?" I ask. The man has dark brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and a sinister smile that could kill. He looks a little malnourished, and he's missing about 2 teeth.

"That guy" he pauses and takes in a sharp breath. "Is her former kidnapper. But he's in jail now." That guy is like 40 though. Why would he want her?

"Well where is he now?" I asked, shaken by his response.

"Dead."

Stella's P.O.V

We sat there in silence. We knew each other were awake, we just didn't want to disrupt the silence and serenity that came with it. Finally after an hour of staring at the ceiling, He speaks up.

"Morning." He groggily says in his husky morning voice.

"Morning"

"My buddy is supposed to be coming over today. He's bringing his little. You're gonna have some fun today.... I hope." He mutters the last part under his breath. Great. More people I have to socialize with. "He'll be by in about 2 hours. It's about 10 now, so you should probably get up."

I honestly don't want to get up, but reluctantly, I saunter to the bathroom. I started peeling off clothing piece by piece, until I just remembered that I didn't have clothes, nor did I bring a towel, so me being the stupid person that I am, I shout for Logan.
