Proud - Keep You

Chapter 9

Ivy’s POV:

“Night daddy, I love you,” I whisper as me and mummy were leaving daddy by the pool as we were all going back to our hotel rooms. “Sweetheart, I love you too. Be good to mummy, yeah?” He whispers back as I smile “I will,” I whisper before daddy puts me down next to mummy. “Night,” mummy says softly to daddy, as they both hug for a quick second, but when they both pull away, mummy snaps a kiss onto daddy’s cheek. “Night girlies, sweet dreams,” daddy winks to both of us and then starts to walk away, as me and mummy walk away from him.

“Get into bed baby,” mummy tells me softly, as I do my bedtime routine, before heading into bed. “Mummy, can I stay with daddy some day?” “Of course baby, no need to ask, but I would ask him,” she says softly as she finishes her bedtime routine and climbs into bed too, “okay mummy. Night, I love you,” I whisper as mummy smiles “I love you too baby, sweet dreams,” she whispers back as we both drift off to sleep.

Shivering, I wake up in the morning to see the hotel room door wide open and swinging with the breeze. As I yawn, I notice that the whole hotel room is messy. “Mummy, why’s the room messy and the door open?” I ask, but I don’t get a reply, “mummy?” I ask, but as I look over to her bed... No one is there and the sheets are all messy too. “Mum?” I ask, but get scared “MUMMY,” I scream, but burst out into tears as I get no reply from anyone.

Jumping out of bed, I don’t bother with changing my clothes. Instead, I start to run round to daddy’s hotel room to see if he can help.

“DADDY... DADDY... DADDY,” I scream as I bang on his hotel room door, at moments choking on my tears. “WHAT?” Daddy screams as he opens the door, but looks confused as he doesn’t see anyone at his height. “Daddy,” I whisper as he looks down, and becomes shocked before quickly crouching to my level, “what’s wrong baby? Why are there tears?” He asks softly, as he brushes some of them away. “Mummy’s gone,” I whisper

Aston’s POV:

“Mummy’s gone,”

A statement, I wish I’d never have to hear in my life. I lost once and now... I’ve lost her again.

“O- O- Okay... Err...” I found it hard to say anything “Come in,” I escorted Ivy into my hotel room, as she was still crying. Thankfully, no one had noticed us. “Sit on my bed and tell me what’s happened,” “I don’t know what’s happened. I just woke up this morning, the door was wide open and mummy was gone... The room and her bed were messy too,” she whimpered for loss of her mum. “Mm... We’re gonna have to get you straight home,” I sighed. “Are you tired? Hungry?” I ask her softly, but she shook her head “just tired,” she whispered “then curl up in my bed and rest your head baby,” “but I don’t want to sleep,” she whispered “I know honey... I know you what mummy back, but I’m gonna have to find her, for now... Just try and get to sleep,” I whispered as she frowned, before moving herself into my bed and resting her head on my pillow “that’s my girl,” I whispered as she smiled faintly, before shutting her eyes.

I walked out onto the balcony and quietly closed the sliding door and began to ring Marvin. He’s the smartest out of all of us; maybe he’d know what to do. So, I dialled his number.

“Hello?” His voice answered my call “hey Marv,” I sighed down the phone before placing my head into my left hand. “What’s up?” His voice is instantly worried “I have a huge problem,” I sighed “why?” “Ivy came to my hotel room this morning in floods of tears... (Your name) has gone missing,” I sigh as Marvin went silent “oh no,” he sighed. “What’s wrong?” A female voice asked worriedly “here talk to Aston,” Marvin passed me to Jasmine. “Hey Jas,” “hello what’s wrong?” She asked worriedly “(Your name) has gone missing,” “WHAT?!” She shouted “no... Aston... She couldn’t have,” you could hear the breaking down in her voice, “hey baby, shh... shh,” Marvin comforts her, but Jasmine has already broken down in tears. She’s lost her best friend! “But Marv-” “Shh, don’t worry. Go into the living room,” Marvin tells her softly, but then I could hear Jasmine’s sniffles slowly disappear. “How do you know?” “Ivy said the hotel room door was wide open, her bed was messy, the room was messy and (Your name) had gone,” “Aston... That isn’t just a disappearance... Ast, she’s been taken,” he says softly “what’d you mean?” “She’s been kidnapped,” “NO,” I shouted “Ast... I know it’s hard to take in because of everything that you two have had in the past, but Aston... She never just walks off or anything like that, does she? She’s struggled to get away from the person who has taken her, that’s the reason for the bed and the room to be messy... And the person who has taken her won’t shut the door, they’re not bothered about that, so they leave it open... Aston, someone’s taken her and we need to find her just in case something bad is happening to her,” “okay...” I sigh heavily “I’m gonna have to bring Ivy home,” I whispered down the phone, as I turn to look at Ivy who is still sleeping in my bed. “Yeah, okay... Do that,” he says as I sigh “okay... Thanks,” “alright,” and with that the conversation ends...

Just as I put my phone down on the wall of the balcony. I burst out into tears. How could this happen?

JB’s POV:

Yawning, I stretched while I began to make some breakfast for me and Fay. She stayed over last night for the first time, and it was great fun to have her company! We stayed up most of the night watching movies or just making each other laugh... I began to think of her never leaving!

As I turned, I saw Fay walking down the stairs in one of my shirts, but because she’s smaller than me, she could wear it as a morning dress. “Wow, you look hot in my shirt,” I winked at her as she giggled, while approaching me. “And how are you Mr?” She winked, before placing a quick kiss onto my lips, making me smile “doing picture perfect, how are you?” I asked as I placed my forehead onto hers, as my arms snake around her waist, locking her into my body “Mm, just the same,” she giggled, as her arms went around my neck, before our lips entwined for a morning kiss.

Although, to disturb our lovely morning kiss, a knock on the door was to be heard, making Fay pull away, and pull away from my grip. “No,” I say quietly, as she starts to walk away “I’m just gonna be at the door,” she smiles as she disappears around the corner to the front door. “Oh,” I hear her say “what is it?” I ask, as I keep an eye on the breakfast “a phone,” “what?” I ask confused, before she appears back in the kitchen with a blackberry in her hand. “Pass it,” I said, as she walks over to me and does so. When I receive the phone, I switch it on and try and see who it may belong to. “Pass my phone,” I say to Fay as she goes over to the breakfast bar and collects my IPhone and then comes back to me to pass it to me. I take my phone from her and start to dial the number to Marvin.

“Hello?” Marvin asks, his voice sounding as though he is depressed “hey Marv, I just got a phone turn up at my door... It’s a blackberry and I switched it on, and it just found in the pictures that this is (Your name)’s mobile. Would you-” “WHAT? (Your name)’s phone?! Wait. Jasmine! Give me your mobile for a second,” he says as I wait for him. “Babe, could you do the breakfast while I do this?” I ask with a pleading face, “of course honey,” she says as she pecks my cheek, as I smile before going into the living room and sitting on the sofa. “Hey, Aston... Err... JB has just rung me and he says that (Your name)’s phone has turned up at his door,” but I realized that he has Jasmine’s phone on speakerphone as I could hear Aston from the other phone. “What? Really,” “yeah... This morning, right J?” Marvin asks me as I reply “yeah, this morning. We heard a knock on the door and Fay went to answer it, but came back with (Your name)’s mobile... Isn’t (Your name) in America?” “Yeah... God knows where she is now,” I heard Aston from the other phone “what do you mean?” “(Your name) has been kidnapped,” Marvin speaks in for Aston “what?! No... You can’t be serious!” I gasped with shock “unfortunately yes,” Marvin whispered “does Reesh know?” I ask “no... Not yet, we were still trying to figure out who may have took (Your name), before we told him anything,” Aston replied quietly. “Maybe Reesh has something of hers,” I suggest “well if he did, he might have phoned by now,” Aston sighs.

This was bad news, and we all wondered how long it would take us to find her.
