Sebastian Valdez

She's been gone for almost 24 hours

Almost a full fucking day.

One minute we're dancing our asses off the next we're all waking up on the floor with the music off, a thin air of smoke, broken glass around the first half of the house, and Alarice nowhere to be found.

My heart has never dropped so low in my life before. Tilly was freaking out like crazy, on the verge of a panic attack, I could see how much she cares and loves Alarice. Al isn't just her boss but her best friend. If it wasn't for Roxanne or Wesley, Tilly would have passed out a second time because of all her heightened emotions going all over the place.

As for me, I couldn't keep still.

Almost 24 hours ago...

I pace around the kitchen with my hands crossed in front of my and my head tilted slightly downwards.

"Will you quit walking back and forth Bash? You're starting to make me very nervous." Dominick whines.

My head faces him as I stand still then quickly I move to his side and push him up against the fridge. "I'm making you nervous? Alarice is nowhere to be found, how the hell do you think I feel?"

"And to think she was just someone you were going to fuck then leave after." He scoffs, I tighten my hold on him and begin raising my fist to make contact with his face. But before I could do so, Xavier stops me and separates us.

"Sebastian, breathe. Dom's being an ass, you know damn well he cares about Alarice for the short time he's known her, and so do I. But you punching someone won't help bring her back." Xavier reasons. Damn, why does he always have to be right?

"Then what can I do? I can't file a damn missing person report until a day has passed because she's an adult. Fuck!" I yell out, slamming my fist on the countertop.

"But, we can call the police for what happened to my house." Dom adds in.

Roxanne comes in panting with something clutched in her hand. "Guys! I found Alarice's phone on the floor." She hands me the phone and I unlock it as Roxanne tells me the passcode Wesley gave her.

Once the phone is unlocked, I see a picture of her with a guy with similar facial features as her and the same wavy, light brown hair she has but shorter. They both look so happy and goofy, this must be Gustavo, her brother. He looks familiar, I think I've seen him somewhere before but I just can't put my finger on it.

Remembering that someone called her, I go to her calls to see if maybe that person on the other side heard something while they talked. I get to her calls and see a guy named Manny as her most recent call, along with two missing ones.

Who the hell is this guy? I swear if he's a fuck buddy or anything else I'll-

"Sebastian." Xavier looks at me with warning eyes. "Call the damn number and stop being jealous."
