Where Did You Go [Sequel to Waiting On You]

Chapter 8: Go Till You Can't Go No More

(Shane POV)

It’s been 3 days since I’ve seen Joey. I’m so worried about him…

Sawyer: You should go to bed man…

Shane: But what if he comes home? What if they find him?

Sawyer: I’ll wake you up. It will be fine.

Shane: Fine…

I walk to the bedroom and lay on Joeys side. I sniff the smell of him and doze off.

(Joey POV)

I wake up in a dark room. Slowly, my eyes adjust to the room. We’re in a hotel. I look at my hands, ones cuffed to the bed. Damnit. I look for the key. I see it on the dresser across the room. Shit. Well, I’ll have to find a way to squeeze my hand through.

*30 mins later*

Yes! I did it! Oh my god! I’m free! Where’s my phone? I find it by Lukes phone and car keys. I grab my phone and the keys and start to leave.

???: Cuff Luke…

I heard a whisper. Well. That’s a good idea anyway! I cuff him and head out to the car. That was easier than I thought. Looking through my contacts, I call Shane.

Phone: We’re sorry, but your phone is not connected to a network. Good bye.

What the fuck? Great, I have to go drive to a payphone. Do they even exist anymore?

*Bing, bing*

The gas is low. I have no money… FUCK! And I’m in the middle of nowhere. Great. Just freakin great. I’m starving.

(Shane POV)

I wake to silence and darkness. I look at the time. I slept for 24 hours. It’s 10pm. I get up and walk down stairs. Sawyer is asleep. I’m surprised that the police didn’t need to question me.

*Phone Vibrates*

-Text from Lisa-

Lisa: How are you holding up?

Shane: Not good… I cry constantly…

Lisa: Why don’t you come over? We can watch movies and eat ice cream?

Shane: I need that. I’m on my way.

-End-

I get in my car and head over to her apartment.

Lisa: Hey…

I hug her. I needed one.

Lisa: Don’t worry Shane… They’ll find him…

We sit down and she brings me a tub of ice cream.

Shane: Thanks. What are we going to watch?

Lisa: How about the new Paranormal Activity Movie?

Shane: It won’t be scary but alright.

Lisa and I watch movies until about 3am when we fall asleep on the couch.

(Joey POV)

My stomach hurts so bad! The heat here is awful… I see a car. Yes!

Joey: Hey! Stop!

I wave myself in front of it. They stop.

Man: Where are you going?

Joey: Somewhere with a phone.

Man: You can use mine. I’ll take you into town, you’re pretty far out.

Joey: Thanks. What city are we going towards?
