Dee's POV

Ki and I decide to stop  by the store on the way home, to grab candy before we go back to her house for the night. We split up and plan to meet back up in about fifteen minutes. I walk down the aisle where the fruity candy is and I see Trent's mom. I smile at her and she pulls me into a hug, "Hey baby, how are you?" I chuckle, "I'm good. How are you and Mr.Locklear?" She sighs, "Well, we're okay. Trent's absence has thrown us off a bit, but we're slowly adjusting," she says hesitantly. I furrow my eyebrows, "His absence?" She sighs, "Yep, ever since he's gone missing, there's been nothing but emptiness in our hearts." I pause. Missing? I stare at her and she looks back sympathetically. "H-How long has he been gone?" I ask. She looks away, "Well, after he came back from the tour, he was a little distant. Didn't talk to us much. Then one day, about two weeks ago, he told me he was going to pick up a few things and he never came home. I thought maybe he was sleeping over at a friends, but one night turned into two, and so on." I gave her my condolences and a quick hug and went back to where Ki was. She looked up at me, "You okay?" I nodded silently. She stands back up, "Are you sure?" she asks. "Y-Yeah, I'm okay, can we leave now?" She nods and we head to checkout.

In the car, I know exactly what I need to do. I get onto my twitter and scroll down to two weeks ago. I read the tweet in my head:

"Can't wait to be back home and catch up with old friends, well some of them."

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I didn't cry. I looked out of the window for a few minutes and then down at my phone. I opened my messages and clicked compose. I typed a "T" then clicked on his name. I quickly typed a message:

d: trent, please tell me where you are. or just call me so i know youre okay. please.

I put my phone down and waited for a response.

....Fifteen minutes later....nothing.

....An hour later, nothing.

I'm laying on Ki's bed and looking up at the ceiling while she picks a movie. I wonder if that's why he's gone. Was it me? The tweet? Did I do something wrong? Well, besides being mad at him. He deserved it. But I don't care about that now. I just want him here. With me.

My phone begins to ring, I flip it over to see this flash on my screen:

"Trent 💘"
