Betrayed

Chill Out.

Leah's POV

I rolled to the other side of my bed with my eyes closed once again, trying to focus on falling asleep again and getting my mind off the things that were preventing me from doing so. I believe it's about 4 in the morning and I know I've only gotten about 3 hours of sleep. After hearing that Audrey is missing? How can I sleep? She's somewhere out there in the world and I have absolutely no idea where she could be.

Shaking my head and cursing under my breath, I exhaled loudly and took my blanket off of me and sat up straight with head against the headboard. I glanced to the pillow besides me and stared at it, remembering all the times Lauren slept there and I'd wake up with her arm wrapped around me. I know this is like the first time mentioning her ever since what happened and that's only because I don't like talking about what happened. She walked out on me. We could've talked it out and went through everything but nope. She decides she's had enough of her bestfriend and leaves right out the front door without a glance back. I thought she did but.....I'm not so sure anymore. I-I miss her a lot. I don't say it a lot but I do. I miss all the fun we shared together. The secrets, the tears, the bond we created. It could've been something so much more but........I fucked up. I didn't tell her how I felt and that's because at that time I didn't know. I was confused on what I wanted and if she would've just gave me a few more hours or so......I would've told her that I-

The sound of someone practically banging on my door as hard as they possibly could interrupted my thoughts, instantly making me jump out of bed to go answer the door with as much attitude as I could handle. There was only one question roaming my head at the moment and it was why the hell was someone at my door at 4 in the morning? Did this person even care if I was sleep? Apparently not.

Getting closer towards the door, I stopped dead in my tracks and asked who it was at the door before I opened it. Could be anybody. "Who is it?!" I shouted loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear me.
"Tyler." The familiar voice answered, making my face turn into confusion as I immediately opened the door for him. He looked at me and came in as I stepped aside, closing the door behind him. I walked over to him as he paced back and forth. He seemed out of breath and he looked scared for the first time actually in a while.
"Tyler, what's wrong and why are you over here at 4 in the morning?-"
"She's gone." He immediately replied back, making me raise an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? Who's gone?" I asked with my arms crossed.
"Audrey. She's gone." He mumbled, avoiding eye contact with me now. I squinted my eyes at him and came closer towards him. "What do you mean she's gone? I thought you didn't know where she was? Did you find her?!" I raised my voice a little higher.

He didn't answer me. "Tyler." My voice went stern as he finally looked at me again. "I-I lied to you. I made it seem like I didn't know where Audrey was when that wasn't true. She was with me most of that day. Around 5, I went to their house to see if I could have a talk with them and they weren't home so I was about to leave when I noticed Audrey was sneaking in her room from climbing up a tree so I snuck in the back door that was somehow unlocked and found her. She was packing her bags and she was planning on running away from them. She was gonna rent herself a hotel room and skip school when I suggested that it would be safer if I took her with me. So we ended back at my place and she took a shower, I ordered us pizza, we talked for a little bit and then that's when you called....I didn't wanna tell you that she was with me because I thought you were gonna try and meet her."

"So you thought it was okay to tell me a story about not knowing where she was instead of just telling me where the fuck she was?! What the hell Tyler?! Look where it got you? Now she's been kidnapped by God knows who and I'm pretty sure Taylor and her parents are apart of it too." I yelled, I knew it was too early to be yelling but I couldn't hold back what I felt anymore. I was tired of being controlled over who gets to be in my life and who doesn't.
"Leah, calm down okay? I'm sorry-"

I rose my hand to signal him to stop as I went towards the living room to sit down and bury my head in my hands. After a few seconds he followed me and that's when I lost it. I got up and threw the glass vase infront of me on the table at the TV, making it fall off the stand, most likely damaging it as well.

Some other stuff fell as well but I didn't care. I had enough. Throwing things wasn't something I never really did whenever I was mad or upset but now it's a different story. "Leah, chill out. Someone is gonna hear you and then the next thing you know is cops showing up at your door." I didn't listen to anything he said as I picked up a picture frame of me and Lauren and threw it at him which he dodged, and it landed somewhere in the kitchen. "If you would've just told me the goddamn truth she would probably be here!" I yelled at him and he stood back up slowly walking towards me.
I grabbed another picture frame and threatened to throw it again but that didn't stop him from snatching it out of my hands and sitting back on the table. He then grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eyes. "I'm sorry, that I lied to you. I really am. I never meant to make you upset but wherever she is, I promise you.......that we will find her. I'll sacrifice everything that I have to make sure she makes it back home with you. Am I clear?"

I looked at him for awhile and nodded in response, exhaling loudly while turning around to sit on the couch. I realized all the stuff I just damaged and will have to replace later on and sort of freaked out, but I needed to get that out of system and I did.

He sat beside me and we both didn't say any words. I didn't know what he was thinking but what I had in my mind was a plan to get her back. It was a good one and if it didn't go right, something was gonna end on a very bad edge.
"I have a plan." I mumbled, and he looked at me.

"Call some of your guys and have them here this evening. I'm gonna go up to Audrey's school and talk to her friends. They're gonna be very helpful in this, but that's only if they agree." I told him and he reached in his pocket to take his phone out. "Wait, no Leah. We can't involve her friends in this." He paused before he called one of them.

I got up and went towards the TV that was just laying on the floor by the table. "We can and we will. If they're really her friends then they'll pitch in no matter what. My sister is in danger and I'll do absolutely whatever it takes to get her back. Obviously Lexi can't come home tomorrow so I'll just call Morgan and see if she can keep watch of her while we're gone because this needs to be done as soon as possible. If we wait any longer, something bad may end up happening and it could be even worse than anything else that has happened already so I have to go up to them tomorrow."

He looked up at me and nodded before standing up to go call his guys to inform them about this evening. I went into the kitchen and ignored the broken picture frame that was on the floor and opened the freezer, grabbing a tub of ice cream and a spoon.

I also went upstairs to grab my phone and my computer because I had some planning to do.

I was getting my sister back.

And this time, no one......is gonna stop me.
