I noticed something  that wasn't  there everytime ; or more specifically  a certain someone. Wes. He knew about stud càfe,  he knew what it meant to me and to Kasie so what brought him here?
Wes constantly cheated on Katie  and she forgave him every single time. He would always come here to apologise,  they weren't  together at the time kasie ran away,  so i can't say that i believe  he has something  to do with it.  I was very naïve back then , but even so, his presence  here is extremely  cryptic and i have to find out why.
"what are you doing here Wes? " i asked impatiently .
"les, i was hoping to find you here i need to talk to you, " he said nervously  as he turned  around.  He looked worn out . Wes was an alcoholic , but as he's  standing  there right in front of me i can't  say I've  seen him look worse before. I don't  know what it was that made me give in but i nodded to the table that stood a few feet away from us  . He followed.
"I  called jane,  pretended everything  was fine,  but last night  i received  a phone call les. A phone call that could help us all, "
"Is she alive?  Wes is she alive? " i shout a little too loud,that the elderly couple across the room stared wide-eyed.
"i don't  know les,  the guy who called says he saw her a Month ago, here." he remarked hesitantly.
"how? I come here every single damn day, " i breakdown.  I just cant anymore. After 17 years kasie makes a reappearance.
"Jane mustn't know wes," i sigh.
"I  know but that isn't  the only thing, she came in with another  Man  and a teen girl, " he said, you could  tell he was hurt. His voice cracked  and tears filled his swollen red eyes.  I Motioned for him to come closer. Without  objections Wes moved closer , i cradled him in my arms,  he sobbed.  The sobs gradually  turned into tears ; painful tears. I could sense the self-doubt  pouring into his soul swiftly turning into depression. Wes loved kasie.
"it's  okay, " i say confidently , I'm  not sure  it is though , but one of us here needs to remain strong so we can find her.
I can feel my tongue tied down my throat  , i can sense the burn in the pit  of my stomach. Sometimes i wonder if i can run away  from all this. To not be me anymore ,  a break from everything  is exactly  what i need.  Wes gets up and looks at me .
"Thank you  les, " he says , his voice shaking.
"it's  nothing," i reply.
"come on,  I'll  take you home you can't  drive in this state, " i sigh heavily as we get up and head to my car. I take Wes  back home but come to a hault as i see his current girlfriend  standing on the porch with her bags packed. Just great.
"i knew you were lying , have fun with your life wes, " she just casually  says out of nowhere and sashays her way to the the vehicle parked near the bulding. Wes doesn't  even react he just lets her go. We enter the building and he asks me if i want to stay but i really need to start heading home , i shake my head and wave goodbye.
As I'm  seated in my car reminiscing  the many times that  i dropped kasie off at this very location. She looked happy or maybe she just fooled us all , classic kasie.  It is as if she's  still out there  following us,  I'm  sure she watches Jane  from time to time , i just wish she'd  come back. After all the things I've  said to her i wish i could apologise.I Miss  her , things shouldn't  have happened  the way they did.
