Evil Hearts - A Listen To Your Heart Book

Missing

The sun was barely climbing over the horizon and birds were beginning to chirp. Jay awoke to the bright light in his face. He tried to roll over to the opposite side, but found he couldn't really move. He looked down and saw that Audrey was nestled into his chest, his arm under her. He could feel her warm breath on his neck. It was making him both warm and uncomfortable. He didn't know whether to wake her up and watch her freak out or stay in their current position because honestly he was really comfortable.

Audrey felt something moving her. She felt extremely warm; a lot warmer than she had remembered feeling last night. She felt something holding her and lifted her head to look up. She hit Jay square in the jaw.

"What the.." Audrey said, realizing her position. She immediately tried to get up, to no avail, causing her ankle to have a sudden burst of pain.

"Audrey chill, your ankle," Jay warned.

"How can I "chill" when you and I- we- what? Ugh!" Audrey shrieked.

"When we cuddled?" Jay said.

Audrey huffed. "Yeah that! Why would you take advantage of the situation that I couldn't move and make a move on me?"

Jay furrowed his brows. "I'm excuse me princess, but you weren't exactly complaining last night. Besides neither one of us were in our positions from last night, so it takes two."

"That still doesn't make it okay," Audrey said.

"Oh like you didn't enjoy it," Jay smirked.

"As if," Audrey said, looking away so he couldn't see her blush.

However Jay noticed. "Whatever you say princess, whatever you say."

"Guys! Guys!" Evie exclaimed running down the stairs and waking up the boys. Lonnie, Chad and Ben followed her. She ran into the kitchen and frantically searched.

"What's going on?" Ben asked.

"Audrey wasn't in our room when we woke up," Lonnie explained.

"She's nowhere to be found!" Evie cried.

"Uh guys?" Carlos called from the living room. The four teens walked into the room.

"Jay's gone too."

"Okay Jane, today's therapy will be very relaxed and carefree," a man who introduced himself as Dr. Ramos said.

"Yes, sir." Jane replied, almost automatically.

Dr. Ramos's face crinkled in disgust. "No need to be formal Jane. In fact, why don't you call me Dr. Gabriel?"

Jane frowned. She had a bad feeling about this. "I don't know. That doesn't seem right."

Dr. Gabriel took her hands. "I'm here to help you and make you feel better. I think the first step is to make you comfortable around me. So if you don't want to be on a first name basis that's fine. So why don't you start by talking a little about yourself?"

Jane laughed nervously. "Well what do you want to know?"

"Anything. The point is to make you more comfortable opening up to me so we can find a solution to your problems."

Jane took a deep breath. "Okay. We'll, my name is Jane Flitter. Ridiculous I know, but both of my parents are fae. Well, was. My father died when I was really young-"

"Please continue," Dr Gabriel pressed. "It's okay."

"That's all I know," Jane said. "I don't know how or when he died." She started tearing up.

"Why?"

Jane sniffled. "Mother never liked talking about him. When I was a little girl I would ask about my father, and she would always avoid the subject. People at school started to tease me because they thought my dad left us. It wasn't until recently my mom told me he had passed. But that's all she said. It's almost as if she doesn't want me to ever find out. As if I had something to do with it...."
**********************************
"What do you mean he's gone?" Ben asked.

"I don't know!" Carlos answered. "I just woke up cuz of Evie's screams and saw that Jay is nowhere to be seen."

Lonnie smirked. "So you mean to tell me that Audrey and Jay "coincidentally" disappeared at the same time."

Chad laughed. "Would you look at that?"

Evie frowned. "Guys I don't think so. This could be something serious."

Ben chuckled. "I don't know, Evie. It might be, but then again..."

"Do you think something finally snapped?" Chad smiled.

"Wait what?" A confused Carlos asked. "What are you guys talking about? You mean to tell me that Jay and Audrey like each other?"

Lonnie laughed. "Have you been living under a rock. It's so obvious."

Carlos frowned indignantly. "No. I've just been a little preoccupied and distracted."

"Like with a certain small brown haired blue eyed fairy?" Chas smirked.

Carlos blushed. "No..."

"That's so cute!" Lonnie giggled.

"Guys!" Evie said. "As cute as Carlos and Jane are as a couple-"

"-not a couple!" Carlos defended.

"-shouldn't we be more focused on finding Audrey and Jay?"

Chad jumped onto the couch and turned on the tv. "Nah. I say we let those two lovebirds duke it out and let them come to us when everything is resolved."

"But-"

"Evie don't worry about it." Ben said. "I'm sure they're fine and are probably on their way back now." He went into the kitchen with Lonnie to prepare breakfast with Lonnie while Carlos and Chas played video games on the tv.

"I hope you're right, Ben." Evie sighed. "I really hope you're right."
