Vanished: Eric Secharia/Midnight Red Fan Fiction

Chapter 9

I looked up in shock, disbelief, hurt, pain. I couldn't believe what I just heard. I stood up off the sofa and Ashton did the sane. You can tell he did feel some kind of sorrow but he wasn't heartbroken like I was. Could this really be true? I looked at Ashton and slapped him across the face. He was shocked at what I did but I didn't care. "You're lying he isn't dead." "I'm sorry Lauren. It was never supposed to go that far believe me. I never like him or the other guys but I didn't want him dead. Luke just lost his temper and.." "I don't believe you" I cut him off. "I'm leaving. Thanks for nothing asshole" I said slamming the door. I ran over to the elevator wiping my tears from my eyes praying this wasn't true. Eric was the only real family I had left. I couldn't lose him. 

I found the guys in the lobby. As soon as Thomas spotted me they all ran over full speed. "What happened?" Colton said. "Are you hurt?" Thomas asked. "Did he tell you where Eric is?" Anthony said. "Umm." "Come on tell us" Joey added. "He said the night at the hotel after you guys left they talked to Eric and things didn't go to well." Tears were filling up in my eyes. Colton grabbed me in his arms and started rubbing my back telling me it was okay. "What did he say after that?" "He said Eric said something that offended Luke and he lost his temper and took him in a ally and..had beaten him to death." I lost it and fell on the floor. The guys were heart broken. Speechless. There were no words. "Was there proof?" "No. He just told me where I could find his body if I didn't believe him." "Where?" "Dementry cemetery back home. 20 miles of the hotel." "Come on we are going to find my brother." Joey said.

It was a silent and painful trip pack home. Mixed thoughts from everyone. Some of us didn't belive Ashton but there was always that 1 percent that he was telling the truth. We made it back and went to the cemetery as fast as we could.

What was really bizarre is that police and ambulances and detectives were all there. We went to go see what the commotion was about even though we had a idea. "Excuse me sir, what's going on?" I asked the nearest police officer. "On the path, there was a dead body found. It's not identified yet but we will be sure to know by tomorrow." "Well if you find out please contact me. As you may or may not know my brother Eric Secharia has been missing for weeks now and no one has done a damn thing about it." "Okay ma'm what's our name I will write it down. "Lauren Secharia." "Okay we will contact you in the morning."

As soon as we got home all of us bursted into tears. What if Ashton was telling the truth? The guys stayed over the night of course but we didn't sleep we just sat up all night talking about old memories we had with Eric. Trying to make the best of the tragedy that was set upon us.

The morning came and we waited anxiously for the phone to ring. There wasn't much hope left anymore. Around 1:30 the phone rang.

"Hello"

"Hello is this Lauren Secharia?"

"Yes it is. Did you identify the body you found at the cemetery yet?"

"Yes and I am pleased to announce the victim was not Eric. But we are doing the best we could to bring your brother home."

We all gave a sigh of relieve.

"Thank you sir."

"No problem. I will call you again if we get any new information."

"Okay. Thanks again. Bye."

The guys stayed the rest of the day. We were trying to find clues of leads of where they might be holding Eric. It was 11:00 when we decided to call it a night. Thomas didn't want to leave but I knew I had to convince him some how to. He finally gave up and agreed. He needed a good nights rest. We all did. But I couldn't sleep. Eric was close I could feel it. I was going to find him if it was the last thing I did.

Sorry this Chapter is short but I think sadly I am going to wrap it up soon. I have some new story ideas for after I finish this and my other story Happily Ever After. I don't know if it's going to be Midnight Red though. I might make it One Direction or The Wanted related. So I hope you enjoy this story so far and the chapter to come. It will be a short book though. Thank you all for reading it means the world. I didn't think any of my books would be as popular as they are so thank you again:)
