Dark (The Past Never Changes)

Chapter 27

Bree's P.O.V.

We were working for the rest of the day yesterday. Calum was able to track down all of Alex's credit card usage. No luck. He hasn't used a credit card since the day before Kaylee went missing. I wasn't able to sleep last night, not even when I let Harry lay with me. I am still so mad at him. I still don't know why Alex took Kaylee or what he wants with her. All the boys have been busy trying to find her. Me and Ashton have been waiting for a phone call from Alex so we can track down Alex, but that hasn't happened either. I still have to call Devin and let her and Tony know what's going on. I rub my temples trying to release stress. Harry rubs my shoulders from behind, scaring me. I move away from his touch.

"I'm still mad at you." I tell him, not looking at him.

"I know. I'm sorry I lied to you, I really am. I know I can't just say sorry and expect it to get fixed, but I promise, no more lies." He says. I turn to him with tears in my eyes.

"Why is it so hard to find her?" I start to pour my tears out now. I haven't cried yet, but I told myself when I do, I wanted to be in Harry's arms. Only because his hold is so gentle and comforting.

"It's okay, babe. We'll find her." He rubs circles in back as he picks me up and I wrap my legs around his torso. I rest my head on his shoulder and he gently kisses my cheek. I sob for a little while longer until I get down to call Devin. It rings twice and she answers.

"Bree, what's up?" She asks.

"Devin.." I cry.

"Bree, what's wrong? Are you okay?" She asks.

"It's Kaylee. S-She's gone." I try to hold myself together.

"What do you mean?" She turns serious.

"Alex. He took her." Fear is evident in my voice.

"Do you think Harry had anything to do with it?" She asks. I do remember her telling me Harry was talking to him before Kaylee was taken, but why would he be over here if he's apart of it? He would know exactly where Kaylee is and would be trying to ruin our chances of finding her.

"I don't think so, I mean he's here helping us try to find her." I tell her.

"Okay. We'll be over there in five minutes." She says and hangs up. I dig my head in my hands and Harry wraps me up and rubs my back again. Shhing me and telling me it will be okay.

That's the thing that gets me. What if it's not okay? What if we're too late? What if we don't find her in time? What is Alex doing to her? What are his plans? What would he want Kaylee for anyways? Why would Harry go talk to him? Why did Harry punch the wall? What consequences was Alex talking about? For who? Why? I just don't know, and it's killing me and making me go insane. If we don't find Kaylee soon, I'll search the entire fucking city for her on my own to find her. I just can't sit around and do nothing anymore. I can't wait for a call that I may never receive.

Kaylee's P.O.V.

I wake up and my vision is blurry. My head kinda hurts and I don't know where I am or why. I feel my hands tied up behind my back and my feet tied together. What the fuck happened? I blink a few times to clear my vision and an appearance of a bedroom comes into view. The walls are cracked and smoke stained. The bed is a queen size and only has one blanket. Other than that, there's nothing else in here. Not even a closet. The door cracks open and I feel fear settle in my stomach, seeing Alex enter the room.

"Oh, you're finally awake." He smirks. I open my mouth to say something, but words won't come out. "How long have you been up, love?" He asks. I stay quiet. "Answer my question!" He raises his voice. I flinch as he stands up.
