Chapter 23

Mason's pov

I was walking home from school when a car pulled up next to me and started slowing down. I looked up and saw that it was Hayes. 

"Hey get in we need to talk." I just nodded my head and hopped in. "It's about Morgan. Today I picked her up from school and she came out with different clothes on and a bruise on her face. I know you guys are friends so I was wondering if you knew anything about it."

"You haven't heard?" I asked confused. "We aren't friends anymore."

"How you were the best of friends."

//flashback//

Morgan and I were skating home from school when she told me she had a boyfriend. 

"So Mason guess what?" She said giddily.

"What is it."

"I'm dating Dario!" 

I stopped skating. "Morgan what did I tell you about him? Something is off about him."

"Shut up! You're just jealous! He is a good guy!" 

"No he is not! He is not good for you!"

"How would you know what's good for me or not?"

"I just know okay!"

"How Mason!"

"Because he is not like your father, your uncles, or me!"

"You! I don't like you Mason!"

"I never said you did!"

"You know what I can't deal with you anymore! I can't be your friend anymore!"

"Morgan! You don't mean that." Tears started streaming down my face.

"Cry all you want I don't care." Then she skated away.

//end of flashback//

"Wow that's cold."

 "Yep and we haven't talked ever since."

"You said earlier that her boyfriend was off what does that mean."

"Something is just off with him like he is just using her or something."

"I'm just going to guess that he slapped her today because the bruise is right on her cheek and she had no scrapes or anything on her arms."

"I knew something was off about him is she okay?"

"She seemed fine to me."

//two days later//

Morgan's pov 

It's 10 pm and Aaliyah and Dad are sleep. Dario invited me to hang out tonight and I'm really nervous because it's my first time sneaking out. I hear my phone ring as I was getting a text. I see that it was Dario. 

Bae <3: Hey I'm outside climb on out I'll catch you.

Morgan: Coming! 

I checked my outfit in the mirror one last time before climbing out. I saw Dario and a couple of guys under my window. I looked back one more time then jumped.

//11:30 pm//

Cameron's pov

It was raining outside so I decided to check on Morgan. I walked into her room and saw that she wasn't there. I looked around and saw that her window was open. She snuck out! I ran downstairs to Aaliyah's room.

"Aaliyah! Morgan is gone!"

//11:50 pm//

Morgan's pov

"Dario I should be getting home by now." We were currently walking in downtown LA.

"No babe stay a little longer."

"No I seriously need to go."

"You aren't going anywhere!" He yelled.

We stopped in front a store. "Let's do this!"

One of his boys busted in the stores window and ran in.

"Grab as much stuff as you can!" Dario yelled at me. 

"No I can't do this! I'm sorry I got to go!" All of a sudden I felt a horrible pain on the side of my head. He hit me with a bat. Suddenly everything was black.

//12:00 am//

Cameron's pov

I called Mason to see if Morgan was over there and he said he hadn't seen her since school. I even called all of the guys. She was nowhere to be found. I could have tracked her phone but she left it in her room. I called the police and they said they would see what they could do. Why would she do this?

//2:00 am//

The boys and I have been out searching for over two hours and still nothing. I have had about two panic attacks already I just wish my baby would come home.

//3:00 am//

Nothing.

//5:00 am//

Nothing. Where could she be?

//2:37 pm//

Morgan's pov

I woke up to see nothing but darkness. I smelt a horrible smell...that's when I realized I was in a trash can. I felt an incredible pain on my head and I had scrapes on the side on torso and my shirt was ripped in different places. I opened the lid but quickly closed it when a ray of sunshine hit my eye. After a few seconds I opened the lid to be met with a brick wall. I was in an alley and it was trash day. Thank gosh I woke up when I did.

I climbed out of the trash and onto the ground. I looked down and realized my skirt was ripped too. Please don't tell me something happened. I didn't feel anything down there...so I think I'm good. I walked out of the alley but not before peaking around the corner to make sure no one was around. I spotted a pay phone in the distance. I went to dig in my pocket to feel around for change but I realized I didn't have pockets I was wearing a skirt. I sighed and started walking in the direction of my house.

//2:45//

I was walking when a car slowed down next to me. "Hey little girl need a ride!" I turned to see a guy in glasses and a mustache. 

"No thank you." I said in the most polite way as possible.

"No I insist." He said while getting out of the car. "You look injured." He started to come closer. 

I ran. The man got back into his car and started to drive after me. 

I recognized the way to Matt's house. I ran as fast as I could to his front gate. I climbed over it not even recognizing that I cut my leg. I frantically knocked on his front door. A girl opened the door in his dinosaur robe I got him for his birthday. "Um who are you?"

"Does that really matter right now! Where is Matt?! Matt!"

"Babe who is at the doo-" Matt was standing in his boxers.

"Matt! Please help me!"

"Morgan where have you been your dad has been worried sick. What happened to your clothes. Why are you bleeding?"

"Question is how did she get over the gate?"

"Jessica! Not the time!" Matt yelled. "Now tell me what happened to you." He said while pulling me into the house to clean me up.
