Trust Me

Friends in Low Places

Y/N's POV

I parked my car and quickly jumped out. I honestly couldn’t wait to hug and kiss Kendall and Caleb. I ran in and looked around. I could hear the TV in the living room, but didn’t see anyone. I walked into the living room and saw Corey asleep on the couch.

I walked over and shook his shoulder. It took him awhile to wake up, but when he did, he stood up and hugged me.

“Hey man!” he smiled.

“Hey. Where’s Caleb and Kendall?” I asked.

He looked down at the couch and then looked around. “We were watching a movie before I fell asleep. He must’ve went to bed.”

“Oh. Where’s Kendall?” I asked.

“She went out with Gigi and Hailey. This is the first time she’s been out since you left.”

“Well that’s the last time I’ll be leaving. Let me go and put my stuff away and I’ll be down to let Gus in.” I smiled. He nodded as I went upstairs.

I went into mine and Kendall’s bedroom and placed my bag down on my side of the bed. I put my phone and my wallet on the nightstand. I turned and walked out of the bedroom.

As I walked down the hall, something was pulling my towards Caleb’s room.

Go and check on him. He needs you.

I looked around, but didn’t see anyone. “Who said that?” I asked.

There was no answer.

I walked towards Caleb’s dark room and looked in. I looked over towards his bed and my heart dropped.

He wasn’t in bed.

“Caleb?” I called. I walked over and looked in his closet.

He wasn’t in there.

“Caleb! Get out here right now young man!” I called. No answer.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. “Y/N, what’s wrong?” Corey asked me.
“Corey, call Kendall and 911! Caleb’s gone!”

Caleb’s POV

I held on tightly to Gus’s leash as we walked down the dark sidewalk. There wasn’t many cars that drove past us, but when they did, they never stopped. I guess they didn’t care that I’m only six and out past dark, that was until someone pulled up behind me.

“Caleb? Caleb!” I heard a familiar voice behind me yell.

I looked behind me and saw someone that I hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Uncle Liam?” I questioned.

He hopped out of his car and ran over to me.

“What are you doing? You shouldn’t be out past this time.” He told me.

“I-I’m going to go get my dad.” He furrowed his brows.

“What do you mean you’re going to go get your dad?” He asked.

I looked down at the sidewalk. “He’s gone. He left and went to my grandpas.”

“And you’re going to go get him?” I nodded.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “Come on. Get in the car.”

I nodded and walked over and got in the backseat after Gus hopped in. Liam got in the front seat and buckled up. “Are you hungry?”

“Yeah.” I replied softly.

He nodded and started driving.

We soon pulled into the McDonalds parking lot and he went through the drive through. As he placed his order, I fumbled with my fingers while Gus laid his head on my lap.

Once he got his food, he pulled into a parking space and looked back at me. He motioned for me to climb over the seat and sit up front.
