Unpredictable

Chapter 16

Sejal's POV:

I frantically looked around for Calum, rushing around the mansion to find him. The music blared into my ears, I could barely hear myself think, let alone call out his name. Urika! There he was, sitting on the couch, talking to Luke. "C-Calum!" I shouted from the other side of the room, my voice wobbling. They both ran up to me, concern etched onto their faces. Of course they would be concerned, my whole body was shaking and I could barely speak. "Baby, what's wrong?" Calum searched my eyes, clearly worried. "It's Jo. I have no idea where she is!" I broke down into a waterfall of tears, my make up smudging across my face as I stood there shaking. "Calm down Sej, I'm sure she's here somewhere," Luke gave me a reassuring pat on my back. "N-no. I've searched the entire mansion, back garden, front garden..." I fell to the floor in a complete mess.

Luke's POV:

"Don't worry Cal, I'll go look for Jo, but stay here with Sej." I furrowed my eyebrows, making my way outside, past the crowd of dancing people. I slammed the front door shut behind me, running off down the streets, looking for any sign of her. If she did leave the mansion like Sejal suggested, she would be nearby, right?

Ashton's POV:

I walked into the kitchen, stopping in mid track as I saw Sejal embracing Calum, crying into his shoulder. Was everything Ok? "What's wrong?" I asked them both. "Sejal came up to me, saying that she couldn't find Jo anywhere. She had already searched the whole of the mansion, including the front and back gardens. Nobody's seen her..." I dropped the bag of crisps that I was eating, my mouth hanging wide open as I clenched my fists, my knuckles turning white. I'm an idiot!! What if I wasn't there if she needed me? I swear to God, if anything's happened to her, I won't ever forgive myself! I ran outside angrily, as fast as I could. "Ash! Luke's already gone out to find her, I've been trying to calm Sej down, but I'm coming with you now!" Calum shouted, running behind me. I felt utterly ashamed. How could I do this to her? And now... Luke's gone out to find her. I'm her boyfriend, I'm supposed to be the one caring for her. I abruptly stopped in front of a brick wall, punching it as many times as I could, until my knuckles were cut and bleeding badly. "Hey, hey hey! Stop that, Ash. I'm sure she's ok. I'm her brother, I know that Jo is strong." He grabbed my arms, stopping me from hurling my hands at the wall any longer. I didn't want to cry, I wanted to stay strong for her. I couldn't. I nervously gulped as traiterous tears began to fall down my cheek. I wiped them away furiously.
