Still A Flicker Of Hope [The Journey Of Love] || N.H

Chapter 9 - I fell asleep..

Abigail's POV

This is getting serious. It's 6 pm and Lottie's not home yet. I've spent an hour trying to contact everyone to find out where the hell is my sister.

I've been trying to call the last person I want to bother, Louis, but he's not picking up either.

"Hello?" Finally he answered my call.

"Lou! What the heck! I've been calling you for probably a hundred times!" I snapped.

"Umm, you called 8 times? But, yeah, wusup?"

"Unbelievable. I'll fucking kill you the next time i see you."

"Deal."  He said.

"Is that it? Jesus, You're ruining my me time!"

you've got to be kidding me..

"Lou, I'm not having this conversation with you. The point is, I need your help finding Lottie." I led out.

"What? Why? You're calling me 'hhuundred times' just because she's not home yet? Oh give her a break! She's probably studying, or in her friend's house or just having a good time with her friends! She's not a baby anymore, she's 14! Let her live her live a little." He said casually.

"Lou. She's not answering my calls-"

"Her phone's probably dead by now." He cut me off.

"Yeah, 'probably'. I've tried calling some of her friends and no one knows where she is!"

"And yeah! Exactly! She's 14!" I exclaimed.

"Probably she's with another friends.."

"Probably." I sarcastically said.

"Ok. Here's the deal. Umm, 8 pm-"

"What? 8? No. No, Lou!" I interrupt, knowing what he was about to offer.

"Okay, 7pm." He paused.

"7 pm Abbs. You can freak out, call me, call the cops or anything you want. Just, give her some time. Okay?" He asked.

"7 pm." I repeat.

"Yeah abbs, 7 pm. Just breath and relax." He assured me.

"Okay. I'll be calling the police."

"Yeah, whatever." That's the last thing he said before he hung up.

Okay. Now what do I do. Keep looking for Lottie? Go watch TV? Sleep? Do my homework? Nahh, not homework.

I opened eyes and adjust it to the light. I look around me and i realized that i was sleeping on the couch in the living room.

I walk my self to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I slowly drink the water and put the glass gently on top of the counter.

I make my way back to the living room and I land my butt on the couch and lift my feet up to rest it on a coffee table in front of me.

I take the remote beside me and I pressed the red button to turn the TV on.

I'm focusing my self to the TV in front of me. The screen seems so bright since I'm too lazy to turn on the lights and there's no more daylight coming from outside.

Suddenly my phone lighted up on the table in front of me. I grabbed my phone to see the message I just received.

It was from Louis. I quickly opened his messages,

    Tommo

" So I figured everything's just fine

  Talk to you soon sis

  Love you, Good night. "

What? I said to my self.

"What?" I replied.

"What??" He replied immediately.

Is he drunk? I'm so confused.

"Wdym?" I asked him.

    Tommo's Calling...

I quickly tapped on the green button.

"Yeah?" I said; confused over the phone.

"Hey you alright? Is everything okay? Are you drunk?" He rapidly said; concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. What are you even talking about?" I questioned him,

"And I was about to ask you the same exact question."

"Well, glad to know that everything's fine. But you were supposed to," He paused and sighed; still not making any sense.

"At least just text me that Lottie's fine. I'm worried too, you know.. "

That's when it hit me. How could I even forget about my sister.

"Oh my god, Lou." I started panicking. Heat starts rushing through out my whole body that I feel like I'm trembling but I'm not. I quickly look over my phone to check the time.

8.45

"OH MY GOD! IT'S EIGHT FOURTY FIVE! LOU! HOW COULD I- UUGGH!" I screamed in frustration.

"SHE'S NOT HOME!"
