In Two weeks

Lilith Hathaway.

Day 8.

It's Sunday evening and I still haven't heard from Christain. I tried his number a few times but to no avail. I also sent him text messages. No reply. A thought came across my mind.

His he dead?

I visibly shake my head to get rid of the thoughts. I'm so dumb. I thought. He probably has no cell service where he is. I mean he did say he was traveling. I reread his message over and over again. Love would catch me every time and smile.

"You know he's coming back right?" She'd always say.

"I know I know" I'll always say and put down my phone.

Love kept me company all through. She was stubborn. She was fun. She was Love. She'd poke me everytime and everywhere. Love's ability to eat still surprises me till today. She'd eat everything and anything. I still thought of Christain. Maybe I should give up. I mean it's the 11th day and still nothing. I heard my parents talking downstairs. Their voices were high now. Are they arguing? I took away my duvet and stepped down. I opened my room to proceed downstairs. I saw my dad talking to a police officer by the door and I could see the lights from outside. There was a dog barking and there were people talking also.

"Hey dear...call Love down. Something just happened to one of your schoolmates. Lilith Hathaway". She says pacing as she continues to bite her finger.

Not so Deja Vu.

This is it. This is the sign. Lilith got missing last week. It makes sense now. Maybe Lilith was murdered too. Probably by the same people. Oh Angel. Poor Lilith.

I adjusted my glasses and ran up.

"Love!! Love!!"

She was startled.

"Mama and Papa said to come. Something's happened to Lilith."

I could tell from Love's facial expression that she was shocked. I was even more shocked and I considered myself a bad person because for someone who went back in actual Time to forget something this crucial. I sigh as Love and I go downstairs.

"Hey girls. You know who Lilith is right?...Lilith Hathaway?"

"Yes Mrs Peaches. She is a transfer student from Russia..." Love started to answer but was stopped by the police.

"Let me do the questioning." He says looking at my Dad for permission. He just nodded and looked away. I could tell he felt for the little girl.

"Hey Girls."

"Hey Officer." We chorused.

"My name is Officer Douglas from Cape Point Police Station...My assistant is outside checking the perimeter so if you just let me ask you a few questions in which you give me honest answers, you'll go to bed early. Do we have a deal?" He said leaning in. We just nodded. He had blonde hair. He was tall and his uniform suited him well. At the right pocket, there was a tag that said 'L. Douglas' I wondered what the L stood for.

"Good. You know miss Lilith Hathaway, yes?" He asked bringing out a little notepad and a pen.

"Yes, we do" Love answered. I was too nervous to talk.

"Friends?" He said looking at me as if to answer the question.

"Nahh, more of school mates. We have just Geography together." Again Love stepped in. For the both of us.

"What about you?" He asked again. Looking at me. I looked at my parents.

"We are toge..." Love Begins.
