Where Are You?

Sawyer's POV

I wake up in an empty bed.

"Joey?!" I yell as I sit up.

No response.

"Joey?!" I yell again.

Still no response. I get up and rush downstairs and find an empty floor - except for Hitch. Where is he? I'm very worried now. I look everywhere, but he is just not here. I go up to our room and I find a note on the bedside table. I sit on the bed to take it all in. I then grab my phone and text Meghan (even if she's just got back into town), Stacy, Luke, David, Cat, Shane and Kalel telling them to come over quickly and that it's urgent. Once they all arrive I tell them.

"What?!" Exclaims Stacy, she was really happy and excited when she came in.

"Where would he go?!" Asks Meghan.

"Does anyone have any idea where he would have gone?!" Cat looks around at everyone.

Everyone shakes their head. Great. No one has a clue.

"Wait, why did he leave?" Shane asks.

This is going to be hard to explain.

"To ... avoid me." It's not exactly a lie.

"Why?" Kalel asks.

"Okay, we were in a car crash and Joey got PTSD, so I was looking after him, but he must have felt that he was giving me too much stress, so he left in order to make me less stressed, but none of that is important right now!" I rushed though needing to take a deep breath afterwards.

"Wow..." David mutters.

Stacy walks up to me and hugs me. She whispers to me "I'm so sorry, I know how difficult this must be for you.".

"Maybe he went back to Boston." Luke said.

"Maybe, but that's also too obvious. If he really wants to avoid Sawyer, he wouldn't go somewhere so obvious. It's still worth checking." Kalel pointed out.

"We could phone his parents and if he isn't home they could send a search party around Massachusetts." Meghan suggests.

"Okay, you do that and we will try to contact Joey and ask the fans." David says.

"What do I do? He's not going to pick up my call." I'm really want to do something.

"Sawyer, you should really relax I know you must be really stressed out about this." Stacy says. She really seems to understand, does she know? I think she's knows.

"Okay, sure." I lie down on the couch and I continuously phone and text Joey. I don't know what I'm hoping for, I know he won't pick up or reply.

I silently cry at the situation. I miss Joey so much, if only I reassured him more he wouldn't have left. I feel alone and worried about him. I need him back.

Joey.

Where are you?

Joey's POV

Once again I wait for Sawyer to fall asleep. I'm starting to have second thoughts about this, how's a nut job like me going to live alone? No. It's not about me, it's about Sawyer. It's about what's best for Sawyer and if that means I have to leave him, then that's what I will do. I quietly get dressed and pack my things. I carefully walk downstairs, find a piece of paper and a pen, and I write him a note. I place the note on the table next to him and I get one last look at him. He's so cute when he's sleeping. So simple. No complex paralinguistic features. Will he miss me as much as I will miss him? Will he miss me at all? Probably not. He will be relieved that he hasn't got to look after a nut job and he can have a normal life again.

I leave in tears. I drive to the airport, I guess I'll have to leave Satzuki here. Where to go is the question, if I stay in the same state then we could run into each other and that would be awkward. Going to a different country would be too difficult with the whole work abroad, visa stuff. Not to mention the exchange rates of some countries. So, I'll go to a different state. One where he wouldn't visit or look for me. That eliminates California, Massachusetts, Georgia, Florida and New York. I don't know where to go, there's too much choice. I know, I'll go to a state far in the east of America, away from California. I look at a map of the USA on my phone for a bit. Found it. I have found the perfect state to go to and it's close to Massachusetts, so I can go to my family incase something goes wrong. I manage to buy the red eye flight, which leaves in 20 minutes. Perfect. I sit at the waiting area and check my phone, Sawyer's not up yet ... or maybe he is. He could have forgotten me already and moved on. I try to push Sawyer out of my mind and listen to some music. I enter the plane and endure a relatively long plane journey.

The plane lands.

And I arrive in Augusta, Maine.
