The Suicide Circle

Never

I know this chapter cuts off from the previous one but there is like a one day time skip.

"Guys, I'm going for an errand!" Dakota shouted after him as he walked out of the warehouse with a piece of paper.

"Where?" Liana asked. She was sitting next to Maisie, hacking down a piece of cake while watching TV.

"You'll see. I'll be back in a few hours. Keep an eye on Grayson for me until then okay?"

Dakota giggled, then waved at everyone and ran out. Katell sighed and walked to Grayson's bedroom, closing the door behind her.

Liana and Maisie stared blankly at the door as they heard distressed noises, a flop, and the door opened to the sight of Katell dragging Grayson out of the room by his ear.

"OW OW OW would you let go already?!"

"Dakota said to watch you." Katell said.

"Come sit." Liana patted the empty spot next to her.

Grayson sighed and plopped down, shifting so that his legs were resting on the girls' laps.
"What even is that boy up to?"

"What do you mean?" Maisie asked.

"I was trying to relax. Even sleep, because I'm a lazy piece of trash. But he kept on bothering me and asking me stuff about my mom."

Liana asked why, and Grayson replied with "Who knows." before leaning completely backward and closing his eyes.
"And goodnight, even though it's midday."

"Is Dakota back yet?" Were the first words Grayson murmured after he woke up.

He looked around, and saw the girls sleeping on the other couch, Liana leaning against Maisie's shoulder.
"Guys?"

Liana's foot twitched, but none of them woke up.

"GUYS!!"

"WOAH!" Maisie opened her eyes, while Liana jumped and scrambled to her feet, looking at Grayson with startled eyes.
"Oh. It's just you." She said, her eyes going tired again.

"Where's Dakota?"

Liana widened her eyes, then furrowed her eyebrows.
"Uh, I don't think he came back yet." She recalled, and Maisie added to the answer by nodding her head.

"No...no..."

"What's wrong?" Liana asked.

"He hasn't come back, how long has it been? I'm going out to look for him." Grayson stated as he looked around the room to find things to bring on his little adventure.

"Where are you gonna look?"

Grayson paused to think, and Maisie shyly stepped into the conversation.
"Um..I think I know where he went."

"Really?!"

"Yes." Maisie said. "Is there only one graveyard around here?"

"Dakota?! Dakota?! Kody?!" Grayson called out mindlessly, knowing it would be to no avail.
