We met Max's mum and dad outside the doctors, who'd come a different way and still hadn't seen either of them, making us all frown. None of us had any idea where they could me, so it was decided we'd wander around the area a while longer before calling the police. I frowned, looking down every single alleyway we passed but to no luck. 

"I don't understand" Max's mum cried out, rubbing her eyes sleepily "where could they be?"

"I have no idea" I frowned, taking my phone out and dialling Rachel's number again, hoping she would answer my call. The little ringing noises made me roll my eyes, shaking my head as I prayed she would just answer and tell us where they were.

"Hello" she finally answered in a monotone voice, making my eyes widen.

"Rachel! Where are you?" I questioned, making everybody turn to me. I put it on speaker quickly, so they could hear everything too.

"I'm with Max, we're just on a walk" she responded, keeping the monotone voice.

"Come home! We're all out looking for you both... And what on Earth do you think you're doing on a walk at this time?!"

"whatever" and with that, she hung up and I groaned, turning to Max's parents, Stampy and Squid. They all looked confused, and mad, just like me I guess.

"I don't understand" Max's mum whispered, shaking her head.

"Neither do I, it's so weird for her to be like that... She's always been a family person, and she'd just happily spend time with everyone but recenty she's been like this and moody. It's really weird" I sighed as Stampy wrapped an arm around me.

"I've actually noticed she's been weird, Max has actually been really worried about her recently and like the other night, we were sat watching movies late and he was on his phone the whole time, when we asked he said he was talking to Rachel. We asked him not to be on his phone while we were watching things, then he stormed out and said he had got to talk to her" Max's dad spoke, explaining what had happened. 

"That's weird, but anyway we should go back to our place, see if they come back" Stampy commented, making us all nod and turn around, heading back to our house. W

When we got back, Nicole was sat on the sofa and stood up the minute we walked through the door, asking if we'd found them. So while Squid relayed the story to her, I headed into the kitchen and got a drink. Whilst I was in there, my phone began ringing showing it was the street angel dude, so I wandered back into the living room and put it on speaker.

"Hello?"

"Hey, there's a boy and girl just walked by us. They were both crying, and we asked if they need anything, they told us they were fine, but they were both wearing black jeans and hoodies"  the guy explained, making everyone glance at eachother.

"Which way were they heading?" I asked, brushing my hair back out of my face and taking a deep breath.

"Towards the local park, that sort of way"

"Right, I got through to her and we think they're both coming back here now. We're the other side of the park so hopefully they'll be here soon" I explained "I'll text you though, let you know"

"Yeah that's cool with me. Hope they're home soon!"

"Thank you, bye" and with that, the call ended and we all sat down and waited, very impatiently. But finally, there was a knock on the door before it was opened and two teenagers with tear-stained faces walked in.

"Where were you? We were worried about you" both me and Max's mum yelled the minute we saw them. Stampy and Max's dad had headed into the kitchen for drinks, but came running through just after both teens said in unison;

"I'm sorry mum!" and fell into our arms sobbing their hearts out.

This is so short compared to my usual chapters now, I'm so sorry! I've had no motivation and then I'm writing really late at night. 

I'm taking a break of a week or so, just to take a bit of time away and get my motivation back, just so ya know :)

Have a good day! x
