26. Gone

*Katrina's POV* 

I have a bad feeling in my gut. I stand there biting my lip, thinking. Just them Niall enters the room looking cheerful. When he sees me in the state I'm in his face is full of worry straight away. "Are you okay?" He asks me.

"No." I answer, truthfully. He continues to look at me, his face now showing an emotion mixing worry and confusion. "I just have a bad feeling." I assure him. He looks at me in such a way that tells me he doesn't believe a word I'm saying. 

I sigh and sit down on my bed, he sits next to me and I tell him about my bad feeling. He doesn't really say anything afterwards though, just sits there staring into space. It makes me wonder if he was even listening to me at all. 

But I decide he must have been because he turn around so he's facing me and says, "You need to workout what's wrong." I look at him and say, "Well no Niall. I'm just gonna sit here and not do anything." He just puts his hands up, surrendering and leaves the room, realising he wasn't going to be helpful to me at all. I shake my head and sigh.

I grab my iPhone off my desk and lay down on my soft, fluffy bed. I navigate my way through the thumbnails on my home screen  and press to one labeled 'Contacts' I don't have many, just the boys, girls, Charlotte, and the one I was looking for, Tia.

 I tap her name and hold the phone up to my ear. The phone starts ringing but no-one answers, which is weird because she always answers. I shake the strange feeling in the bottom of my stomach away and call her house phone, but again no answer.

 It's then I start getting worried. No matter what, she always answers. She would probably even answer the phone if she was in the middle of dying. That's how dedicated to phones she is. I quickly shove my phone in a bag along with some other random stuff, like a water bottle and a hair clip. Don't judge, I have a lot of hair and don't like it getting in my face. Not very many people do to be honest, or so I think. 

I sneak out of my door and run to Tia's house which actually isn't far from mine. Probably a five-ten minute walk, a three to seven minute run. As soon as I get there I pound on the door quickly before forcing it open. I don't bother closing it behind me. I walk through-out the house yelling Tia's name, making sure to check all of her hiding spots.

 Her phone lays on the floor next the the couch in the living room, a television program still running and popcorn and chocolate strewn across the floor. What on earth happened in here?! I shake my head, emptying it of all thoughts. I need to focus on where Tia is.

I search the house again incase I missed anywhere. But I couldn't find her anywhere. Where could she be? It's not like Tia to just leave with the house in the state it is and her phone on the floor, just laying there. Just then a gleam of light enters the corner of my eye.

 I squint my eyes at the brightness of the television and bend down to retrieve the shiny object. I pick it up and stand up. When I see the object my hands instantly tighten on it and I get really mad.

A bracelet with Lizzie's name on it. 

I stand there gripping the bracelet in my hand, seething. She took her away. I should've known this would happen. It makes sense after all, Tia saved me from her earlier in time. But I don't get it? What is she trying to do? Make herself happy again? Because she'll have to do a lot for that to happen. It really gets on my nerves.

~A while later~

I'm outside Lizzie's house. I know that she'll be expecting me to show up so I go around the back of the house and search for another way into the house. I find out then that the back door is locked after trying to shake it open. There is no way that I'll be able to get in there without breaking anything and risking them hearing me. That would just be down right stupid.
