Author's Note:
Thank you for the over 100 reads I honestly surprised anyone has read this. Sorry this has taken so long to get up, school has been really busy, I've had quite a lot of writer's block and my depression has been almost killing me (literally). It's more of a filler chapter but I feel like I have taken too long to updated so I wanted to post something. The video above is the first episode of Sincerely Me, the backstage vlogs of DEH with Will Roland, if you haven't watched them, you need to. Enjoy this next chapter.
Sincerely Me
Chapter 7
Evan
I don't understand why Connor Murphy is asking us to help him find his sister, I mean I'll do anything to help find her but why ask Jared and I. Also, why is Michael Mell watching us? He's never payed the slightest attention to me before, maybe he's one of Jared's friends.
"Um... Jared a-are you friends with Michael?" I whisper to Jared so Connor won't notice.
"No, why?" He replies in his normal loud voice.
"Um... he's k-kinda staring at us."
"Oh yeah, he's the one who showed me where you guys were." Connor chips in, how does he know Michael?
"So, what's your plan to find your sister? I recommend hacking into the government and tracking her phone, then storming her location with guns blazing and then..."
"No." I quickly butt in before Jared can continue his crazy plan. "T-that would n-never work."
We talk for a bit long before deciding to meet at the Palace after school.
Connor, Jared and I are now sitting in Zoe's room going through potential evidence. The room has been roped off by the police for their investigation but we've snuck in here for a bit to 'evaluate the potential scene of the kidnapping' as Jared calls it.
I've been in here a couple of times but it has never been this messy. There are clothes strewn all over the floor and bed and books that look like they've been ripped right from the shelves are in disorganised piles, pages torn and crumpled. I start my search by looking through Zoe's desk for a laptop or some sort of writing about her whereabouts but find nothing. All I find is a couple pages of a letter to what I think is a family member (or someone remotely Royal) and a few notepads full of song lyrics.
"These are r-really good."
"What?" Connor turns around as he talks.
"These lyrics." I hand one of the notebooks to him and he flicks through the pages. "Especially these one, they really convey a lot of emotion."
"Acorn, you just said a full sentence without stuttering, I'm shocked."
"W-whatever Jared."
"And he's back to stuttering."
"Come on w-we need to find clues." I say, trying to get us back on track.
"Look." Connor says while holding out one of the notebooks. "This last song, the first few verses and choruses are written in perfect ink lines but when you turn the page there's just a big pool of black ink."
"Maybe she spilt it or something? It could have been when she was kidnapped, d-does it have a time written on it?" I question.
"Yeah, she only put the date on the other pages but for some reason this on has the time." Connor replies. "It says she was writing this at 5:47pm, so she must have bee kidnapped after that."
"That is major evidence, we now have a two hour and thirteen minute window." Jared replies.
We continue searching the room for any other clues but don't find anything particularly useful so we leave before anyone can catch us.
I get home and immediately head for the kitchen, I know mum doesn't get back for another four hours so I have the house to myself as usual. I grab a bowl out of the cupboard and heat up some microwave popcorn before moving into the living room. I flick on the T.V and open up Netflix where I scroll through titles for a few minutes before selecting Rent the musical.
"Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear." I sing along with the movie. "Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, how do you measure, measure a year."
As the movie continues, I eventually get my laptop out and try to get some of my huge pile of homework done, while still singing along with each song. My English project seems to be taking forever to finish and I can't seem to muster the concentration to work on it for very long, but it's due tomorrow so I really need to finish it. I get half way through my project by the time the movie ends and flick onto Sweeney Todd, another movie musical.
Connor
Once the others leave, I retreat to my bedroom and just lie on my bed staring at the ceiling. Now that we found that time we have something to really go on and I have some new ideas as to how to find her. We didn't find her phone so it's possible she still has it, or her kidnappers do, the police probably already have something tracking it so maybe Jared's idea of hacking into the government isn't so bad, although we'd probably have to break in, not hack.
