Chapter 21- Missing

Jack's P.O.V

I rolled my eyes as Annabel flounced from the room like a huffy teenager.  She would be back.

I turned back to Lucy,  who was now sobbing uncontrollably.

" Hey, it's okay, " I said softly.

She shook her head and rubbed her eyes.  " I'm a hurricane,  Jack.  I bring destruction wherever I go."

" No, Lucy. Annabel and I are just going though a rough patch.  We'll get through it.  We always do," I convinced her.

Or was I convincing myself?

" Listen.  Why don't you go to the spare bedroom upstairs?  Have a lie down and just calm down a bit,  yeah?" I suggested.

" Okay. Where is it?"

" Straight up the stairs,  it's the first one on your left, " I explained.

She smiled gratefully and left the room, wiping her eyes continously.

Now to deal with Annabel. 

I followed Lucy out of the door and wandered into the kitchen.

" Annabel? " I called.

No reply.

I searched everywhere:  I looked in the bedrooms,  the bathrooms; even the attic. 

No sign.

I fumbled in my pocket for my mobile and dialled her number.  It rang seven times, before going straight to answer phone.  I left a voice mail and texted her. 

Still nothing.

Ugh. She could be annoyingly stubborn when she wanted to be.

I kept ringing her,  before accepting defeat.  All I could do was wait.  She would come back eventually.

Or so I thought.

~●~●~

I was sitting, watching Doctor Who, at half past ten.  Still nothing from Annabel.  Okay. I admit, I was worried by then. What if she'd done something?  What if she'd gotten drunk? What if...?

" Jack?"

I looked up as Lucy appeared in the doorway.

" Hiya,  you okay? " I smiled.

" Has Annabel come home yet?" She asked.

I sighed and shook my head.

"What are we going to do?"

I shrugged, knowing that if I opened my mouth to speak I would just break down in sobs.

The truth is that I was absolutely petrified.  I couldn't live without Annabel. I loved her too much.

"C'mon,  Jack. You can't just give up," Lucy scolded.

" I've tried everything.  I don't know what else there is to do! " I replied, a hint of desperation in my voice.

Lucy perched herself on the arm of the chair and draped her arm around my shoulders.

" Why don't you go to bed?  If it comes to us having to go and search for her,  then we both need a good night's sleep, " she advised.

" I'm pretty sure I was just advising you to do a very similar thing just a few hours ago, " I chuckled half heartedly.

She smiled.  " Goodnight."

And with that,  she disappeared through the door.

I decided to take her advice and go to bed.  But I couldn't sleep a wink. My body was unbelievably tired,  but my mind was wide awake.  I kept picturing her lying in a shop doorway, disgracefully drunk, not knowing where she was. 

The image of her lying dead in front of Abbey crept into my head and I flinched.  Annabel wouldn't be that stupid.

Would she?
