Sanctuary (Sequel to Already Gone)

(37) Old Fashion

~~Harry's POV~~

I'm going out of my bloody mind, we've looked everywhere and cant find her. Louis and Josh are still out looking , Gemma is home with the kids now. Mum is here going mad with me, Maddie is upstairs with the kids. She hasn't stopped crying since we left the school and I don't know what to do. I'm right there with her, our girl is gone and no one will do a bloody thing about it. "Harry she'll be ok." My mum reaches over putting her hand on mine as my legs bounce uncontrollably. I'm only here because the police said if she was taken Maddie or I needed to be home incase they tried to contact us but nothing. I'd rather be out looking for her then stuck in this house doing nothing. I look up as I hear our bedroom door swing open hitting the wall in the process and Maddie running down the stairs. What the bloody hell is wrong with her?

"You're joking me right?" She spits at the phone that's clutched to her ear. "He's here." She growls and her hand shakes as she rubs her forehead. "You stay right there until your dad gets there. I swear London you move a inch and I'm beating your ass." She hangs up looking at me, I'm relieved because she was talking to London but something tells me there's more to this.

"Baby?" She holds up her finger while taking deep breaths trying to calm down I suppose.

"You know where she is?" Well obviously not! I want to say but I bite my tongue. "She's at the school picking up Landon. She called telling me that he wasn't there. She acted like nothing had happened Harry." I grab my keys heading for the door.

"Mum come with me." She hops up following me out the door as Maddie stands there fuming. I speed through the traffic wondering what the hell she was doing all day.

"Harry calm down love." I glance over at my mum who is eyeing me.

"Mum I cant, she skipped school had us all worried, then tries to act like nothing happened." I cant believe this.

"Yeah but maybe she has a good excuse."

"Oh yeah? She's seventeen, skipped school, is having sex, what's next mum drugs?" Her face is frozen as I spit this out. She stays silent as I pull up behind London's car. We both get out and when I walk up to the window she is chewing her cheek and pulling at her fingers just like her mother. I yank the door open glaring at her. "Where were you?" I growl trying to keep calm but this is hard. I've never had to get to stern with any of the kids, Maddie has always been the one who disciplined them. She looks down at her hands as mum moves to my side.

"Dad." But she doesn't look at me.

"What London? What could you have possibly been doing all day? You know your mum has been worried sick! We've all been worried while you were out doing what?" I cant help but spit this out as I stand here glaring at her and running my hand through my hair.

"I cant tell you." I'm taken with her answer and it pisses me off.

"Get out!" I yell at her causing her to jump.

"Why?" She whines.

"London I'm not telling you again get your ass out and get in my car." She doesn't hesitate this time. She grabs her bag and hands me her keys. "Mum will you?" I hold up London's keys to her and she takes them.

"Son don't lose your temper, she knows she's made a mistake."

"Oh yeah is that why she said she couldn't tell me?" Oh she will tell me or she wont leave the house ever again on her own.

"She's your baby Harry, remember that when you want to scream at her." That's right my baby and my baby will not do these sorts of things. I turn walking back and when I get in the car she doesn't look my way. I stay silent trying to think of reasons why my child thinks it's ok to not tell me where she's been for eight bloody hours. When we pull in the driveway and I park she hops straight out and goes in but I'm right behind her. Maddie stands there glaring at her but doesn't say a word. London stops just a second then moves starting up the stairs.
