Hopeless

Stacey's POV
---
"Where's Q?" I ask Liam
"I dunno, upstairs maybe?" He says
I jog up the stairs and past Eli's room.
"Q?" I say poking my head in our room.
I walk to Eli's room.
I don't wanna wake him
I edge the door open and see Eli furiously typing something on his phone.
"She didn't bring her phone you know" I say, he looks up a little startled
"Yeah I know" he says returning to his messages.
"Ok, have you seen Q?" I ask
"No" he says bluntly and I leave him to whatever he's doing.
I walk downstairs and being up my phone.
I scroll through my contacts and find Q and dial his number.
It dials for a while but goes to his message bank.
I'm panicking now. I don't know what to think.
"Babe?" I hear a voice say from downstairs.
I run down and see Q holding two plastic bags.
"Where were you!" I say running up and hugging him.
"I was at the shops, I had to get some stuff" he says
"What stuff?" I ask letting go
"Alcohol mostly" he says placing the bags on the bench revealing bottles of mostly vodka.
"Jesus! What's this for?" I ask, confused
"It's for a party" Liam says entering
"Party? When?" I ask
Liam looks at his feet.
"Look I know it's not the best time but, it's tonight" he says
"What?! We can't party if Meghan's still out there!" I yell
"I know but my sisters on a tight schedule, she's only a down for a few days and then she has to go back up home"
I sigh
"Eli's not gonna be happy" I say
---
"What do you mean your having a party!" Eli yells
"My sister she-"
"I don't care!" He yells running a hand through his hair
"I can't, I won't party without her"
"We're asking you to, we just want you to know that we're holding one" Q explains
I watch from behind the door of Brooklyn's bedroom.
"Bit dramatic ay?" She says after unpacking
I sigh as they argue and yell at each other
"No, he's just in love" I say
"So are you by the looks" she says walking up next to me.
"Yeah" I say smiling at Q
"Tell me more about this Meghan situation." She asks sitting back down on her bed.
---
"Gee, intense" she says after I had explained
"Yeah"
Outside we hear a door slam and I get up and check out what's happening
"What happened?" I ask Q
"He ran" Q says, hands on his head
"What do you mean?" Brooklyn says from behind me
"He's gone to find Meghan" Liam says

Q's POV
---
"I've tried his phone 5 times, he's not gonna pick up" I sigh
"Just leave it Q" Stacey coming up to me
"We've got a party to set up anyway" she says walking off to Brooklyn's room
"Hey Q, can you help me with the cooler?" Liam says from the garage
"Cooler?" I ask jogging down toward him
"Yeah" he says pointing a large drink cooler
"Oh, in Australia we call this an esky" I say picking up the handle on one side
"What? Why's that?" Liam asks with a confused look on his face
"Dunno, it's just what we call it" I say shrugging a little
"Your not worried about Meghan and Eli are you?" Liam asks
"Hmm I'm worried but...I know them they're emotional but not stupid" I say
I sure hope I'm right

Eli's POV
---
I walked.
I don't know for how long, I don't know how far but I needed space, time to think.
I found a small park with an old broken fountain in it.
I sat on the edge and rested my head in my hands.
How could they possibly party!
I don't get it
Even Q and Stacey! It's ridiculous
"I can't do this anymore" I mumble under my breath.
When I find her, I have to tell her.

I moped through the streets hoping to see the familiar short girl somewhere but to no success. It was starting to dark and cold. I had made it to a beach. I had no idea where I was but the view of the ocean against the setting sun was beautiful. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a girl in a red hoodie, sitting up against a rock, throwing pebbles into the water.
As I walked closer I could clearly make out her appearance. She was short. And she had long blonde hair.
"Please " I mumbled
"Please be you"
She turned her head in my direction and my eyes lit up but just as quickly faded to sadness when I saw her.
Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and makeup was smudged in random places.
She flashed me a nervous smile and patted the ground next to her.
I walked around the rock and sat next to her.
"Hi" she croaked
I laughed a little
"What?" She asked
"You can't just run without saying anything?!" I say frustrated
"You're so confusing! One minute I think you care then the next it's like I'm talking to myself! What's the point Eli!" She screams back
My eyes settle on the sand at my feet
"I care about Meghan of course I do but-" I whisper
"I'm sorry" Meghan says after a while
I stay silent
"Wait what do you mean but?" She asks
What do I do?

A/N
So this is one of the rare notes in this novel. I thought I might just say some stuff. I don't know where this book is going, honestly. If your reading and it enjoying it then let me know coz I genuinely have little to no idea what I'm doing. Only about 4 people are reading this at the moment but I'm not fussed to be honest. I just really enjoy writing and creating my own story.
To the 4 people reading this
Stay cool :)
