Chapter 33 {By Ramey}

December 12th, 2012.

It's been about 3 months since the guys left. They've definitely earned a lot more popularity while on tour.

They've mentioned us in several interviews and many hate messages have been directed towards us from their fans. Some of them were good though.

Neptune definitely got more attention from the fandom though, her being Luke's girlfriend and all.

I kinda hid in the shadows, though I definitely wasn't dodging any hate.

I finished washing the dishes and grabbed a Pepsi from the fridge.

I sat down on the couch when I heard phone buzz on the coffee table.

I lean forward and check my notification.

A text from Ashton?

I hadn't talked to them at all since they left, though Neptune of course still kept in touch. Especially with Luke.

Irweenie🌭: Rylie?

Irweenie🌭: please god tell me you're home

Me: yeah why what's wrong?

Irweenie🌭: thank god. Please go check on Lauren. I don't know what's happened to her.

Me: I'm on my way. Why what do you assume happened?

No reply.

I slip on a jacket and rush to my neighbor's house.

I don't even think to knock, just open the door and rush upstairs.

I knock on Lauren's door.

No reply.

I knock again. "Lauren!?" I call out.

No reply.

I open the door and look around.

She's not in there.

The shower in the bathroom begins running.

I rush over to the door and knock.

"Lauren?" I call her.

The door opens a crack.

"It's Harry." Ashton's little brother answers.

"Where's your sister?" I ask.

"I don't know. How do you expect me to know?" Harry shrugs then shuts the door.

I groan and begin to text Ashton.

Me: she's not here.

Irweenie🌭: you're kidding! Oh my god. A fan just sent me a video of her by her school. Please drive there. Call the cops.

Me: why what happened

Irweenie🌭: she's getting her ass kicked.

I quickly leave their house and pull the keys out of my pocket.

I hop in the car and begin driving off.

I pass by Neptune's house but quickly halt.

I honk my car horn like a crazy woman and eventually Neptune comes outside, running out to my car.

"What? What are we doing?" She asks.

"Just get in." I exclaim nervously.

She gets in quickly and we drive off to Lauren's middle school.

"A fan sent Ashton a video of Lauren getting beat up. He didn't know if it was real or not so he had me go to their house to check if she was home and she wasn't. I'm scared." I explain quickly while we pull up to the school.

"Oh my god..."

And that's when we saw her...
