Luke's POV
They shut Sam into the back of a police car, he catches glimpse of me and glares me down, I know if he gets away he will go after me next, I try not to think about that. I wait for an officer to tell me what's going on, finally the one who drove the car I'm in comes back and gets into the car again.
"Is she here? Arabelle?" I ask straight away, he shakes his head and sighs.
"No sign of the girl."
"You promised her little girl is in good care.. Right?" I ask, I know even if Arabelle is in danger, the very least I can do is make sure her daughter is safe.
"She is in the best care here, nothing will hurt her. You have my word." He says and for some reason I trust him completely.
"Thank you" I mumble and watch out the window as all of the officers pile into their cars.
"What's the next step?" I ask slowly turning my focus down to my phone.
"What do you mean?" He asks starting to drive.
"To find her - Arabelle." I say messing with my phone.
"We'll question him, we'll have search parties, that's all we can do at the moment." He says and I sigh and nod.
"So I'll take you back to the hotel you're staying at? What hotel are you staying at?" He asks.
"The Marriott." I say and text Alexis.
Luke💑: "can I call you in like.. 10 mins?"
Alexis👰🏼😍: "sure..?"
Luke💑: "alright"
The officer drives me back to my hotel and let's me out of the car.
"Again, we'll keep you updated." He tells me and I nod.
"Where is her daughter going to stay?" I ask and cross my arms feeling the cold breeze hit me.
"We're going to try and get ahold of arabelle's husband, we're assuming it's her dad, we just can't find him at the moment, if we can't get ahold of him she will be staying in a foster home until further notice." He tells me and I sigh deeply.
"Can she stay with me..? I'm family friends, like I've said. I've dealt with kids who are going through this or have gone through this, I can take great care of her and I'm not going to let a fly touch her." I'm practically begging at this point but I want to get to know her.
"It's not up to me, I'll have to talk to the main, but I think it'll be alright if you do take her in, until we find out what's going on, if her mother is alive - okay, and where her father is." He tells me and I thank God, more like praise God, inside my head.
"Alright, thanks for everything officer." I say, he nods his head and I walk inside the hotel, I look around the lobby and it's practically bare, I walk to the elevator and press the up button, I lean against the wall waiting for the elevator, I decide just to call Alexis now, I pull out my phone from my pocket and dial her number, it rings a few times before she answers it.
"Hey luke" she says in a whisper tone.
"Hey... Where are you? You're being quiet.." I laugh softly and walk inside the elevator. I hear her move around a bit and a door open and close.
"I was just laying down with Hunter for a little nap, what's going on up there?" She asks and I take a deep breathe.
"Wait till I get to my room? I'm in the elevator right now."
"Oh,that's Okay babe." She tells me and I can practically hear the little smile on her face.
"I miss you, and Hunter." I say as the elevator doors open, I walk out into the hallway and back to my room, as I open the door and walk inside the room a strong smell fills the air, I cover my nose with my shirt and gag.
"What's that awful smell?" I say and Alexis asks "what" a few times, I walk into the room and look around, I walk over to the closet and the smell is the strongest.
"Alexis.. I can't do this.. I think somethings dead in my closet.." I say holding my shirt over my nose.
"dead?? Luke what are you talking about??"
"This smell, it smells like death." I decide to man up and open the closet door, I slide it open and scream at the sight I see, I drop the phone and stand there with my eyes wide open and filled with tears, I drop to my knees and tears start flowing down my cheeks like a river.
"LUKE WHATS GOING ON??" I hear come from the phone.
"It it its her" I sob into the phone, Alexis starts crying too, she knows what I'm getting at.
"C-call the police. Now." She says.
"Will you be okay," I mumble softly and stare at arabelle's lifeless body, the tears continue to flow down my cheeks.
"Luke call them" she says and hangs up. I call the police, they say they're on the way, I walk out of the room and sit in the hallway pulling my knees up to my chest and put my face in my hands, I start to sob, I let every single tear fall, I gasp for air and clutch my chest as I feel my chest tightening. My thoughts run back to digitour, seeing her, meeting her, her face when she saw me, she had the biggest crush on me. I barely gave her attention, it was all Alexis. I look up hearing someone walking towards me, I hear a gun shoot, next thing I know I feel the worst pain I've ever experienced, I stare at the ceiling and then down at my torso to see blood gushing, then all I see is black.
THE ENDING IS NEAR 😘😏😭
