Drawing Voices

Die together Chapter Seven. P1

The next day.

Dan's P.O.V

I woke up with the biggest hangover ever. My head was throbbing and I desperately needed a drink of water. So i unimaginatively got up out of my bed and made my way to the kitchen. As the water poured down my throat it released the headache a little, but not by much.

I made my way to the living room to see Ralph on the sofa playing a song. "Hey mate, how are you?" I asked, my voice a tone deeper and crackly than usual.

"I'm fine, its Lola i'd be worrying about..." Ralph said, his dry eyes fixed onto this guitar.

"Lola's not alright?" My mind froze as my legs instantly ran up the two flights of stairs to the spare room to see what was wrong.

I knocked on the door and waited for a reply. There was nothing. 

I slowly opened the door and saw there was no sign of anyone staying in the room. 

I ran back and my headache pounded even more. Causing me to fall onto my knees. 

Before i had a chance to get myself together. Kyle was staring back at me with a confused look.

"What's happened to Lola?" i cried to Kyle

"You don't remember. Oh mate i thought you knew?" Kyle replied a little shocked. "She found some book of yours and began to cry. Before i had a chance to ask what it was she had ran away. Probably back to her house or something. Don't worry about it cause Janna says its usual for her to run away." 

I took no notice of what Janna had told Kyle. What have i done. "Her diary? She found her diary."

I didn't give Kyle time to answer. I left the house and ran towards her flat.

I looked at the time on my phone. It was 11:00am

*-*-*

I made my way up to her flat 64 and knocked on the door. The blonde haired girl answered. I can't believe i don't know her name. "Hey, sorry to bother you. Is my Lola there?" I don't know why i said 'my' but the panic over took me.

"No haven't seen her since Saturday, when you and my Lola came over." With that she slammed the door.

*-*-*

Outside the building I stood and stared at the street that lay before me. Where has she gone?

I ran my hand through my hair and thought about it for a few minutes. 'If i was to run away where would i go?" i questioned myself. 'The woods?' It was my only option.

I picked myself together and made my way to the woods. It was bigger than i remembered. I have no chance. "What happens if she had been calling for me last night and i didn't hear it." The voice in my head shouted, blaming me even more. That's when a  new song lyric came in my head. 'Oh i hear you calling in the dead of night.'  Now was not the time for composing so I looked down and to my luck i found a few footprints. "I'll follow these"  i said to myself as I stepped on them and noticed the size was smaller than me. It could be Lola's.

I began to follow them until they came to a part where the footprint marks stopped. I moved my hands through my hair and looked about. That's when i noticed a pile of soil. I was intrigued by the footprints and why they stopped at the pile, so i ran my hands through the soil and began to dig. The soil clumping into my nails. I was just about to give up as nothing was becoming noticeable. When suddenly by index finger scrapped along something hard. I dug and dug until a diary became noticeable. It was Lola's. I was so happy. Finally I'm somewhere closer to reaching her. I tucked it into my jacket and began to look for any more of her footprints. Then i noticed a few fainter marks where the grass had been pushed down from somebody's feet. It must have been Lola's. So i followed and followed it until it brought me out to a section of sand that lay before a fast flowing river.

To the right of me lay a pair of shoes placed at the edge of the river. It was Lola's blue converses. 

She hasn't gone in the river, i hope. Tears flowed down my eyes as i ran towards the shoes and picked them up and hugged them tightly against my chest.

"Looooolllllaaa" I screamed.
