Friendzoned

Forty-Four: He is loved.

He is loved.

***Madison***

I sigh heavily and run my hands through my mess of a hair as I stood in front of Sebastian's front door.

I really didn't want to do this.

Not because I didn't care about Joseph of course, just because of what happened only moments before this all transpired with Joseph being freaking missing and all that.

It's even more awkward and uncomfortable having to talk to him now because he poured his heart out to me earlier but all I said in response was "I gotta go.".

Clearly he probably wouldn't want to talk to me too.

But I had to do this.

For Joseph.

For Joseph.

Taking what seems to be my one hundredth deep breath today, I knock on the door three times and wait.

Shortly after, my call was answered and the door swung open, revealing a shirtless Sebastian.

"Woah sorry were you going to take a shower?" I back up slowly with my arms raised.

"Uh..yeah I was." He responds, his tone awkward and nervous.

I almost felt sorry for him.

"Okay...well forgive me for the interruption but I'll be quick." Sebastian curiously leans closer to hear what I had to say, "Have you seen Joseph lately?"

Upon hearing my query about Joseph, Sebastian pulls back and a scowl graces his lips.

"Why do you want to know? Why are you asking about him?" He questions suspiciously, his eyes squinted as he tries to figure out my intentions.

Damn jerk.

"That's not important, I just need to find him. So answer the question and I'll be out of your hair." I bite back, my patience running thin and anxiety growing bigger.

"Tsk, no I haven't. Is that all you need?" He asks dully, his eyes screaming irritation.

"That's all." I turn quickly on my heels and mumbled a quiet "thanks for nothing."

I swear I heard him say "bitch" under his breath though so I guess that means we're even.

Well shit.

Sebastian hasn't seen Joseph lately, I last saw him in the newspaper room but that doesn't really help and he's nowhere to be found in school.

Our only best bet is checking the newspaper room again and try to check round back the school.

And I travelled all this way to find and have nothing.

I travel back home via the train and I send William a quick text.

Maybe Will could help us find Joseph.

Madi: Hey Will. Everything okay on your side? You left earlier to handle something so just checking.

Within a few seconds he replied instantly.

Will: Oh yeah don't worry about it, it's all good now. Thanks for checking. :)

Madi: Oh that's a relief. Glad to hear it.
