Complicated (5 Seconds of Summer)

Violet

Lottie's POV

With Amy gone the house has been really quiet. She was the one person that I could actually talk to and act wildly with. With her absence and my mom always out for work, at least that's what I think, I've been feeling pretty lonely. Sure, I have Ashton but Amy completes me. Weird I know but it's true. She is my best friend, no scratch that, she is my sister. I'm not surprised she took off though. She did the same thing back when we were living in the states. Things were just as bad. She was out all night, hooked up with many frat boys and even had a pregnancy scare. I need to find her so that doesn't happen again.

I called Calum and told him everything that had happened to her in the past, assuming that Amy hadn't done it her self. He seemed panicked after I told him, but then again who wouldn't. I told him to meet me near the mall. I grabbed a random hoodie and slid on my Vans and headed out.

I waited for him inside Starbucks. I bought myself a White Chocolate Frappuccino. I sat next to the window so that he could see me easily. I glanced over at the fountain and saw a red headed Michael. What's he doing here? He stood around the fountain in the front with a hooded figure. It seemed like they were negotiating something.

"Hey babe. Peppermint cake pop?" He asked.

"Umm sure... Hey I thought I just saw Michael over by the fountain but now he's not there." I said.

"I didn't see anyone when I came in. It might just be your imagination."

"I don't think so. I swear I saw him. I saw him speaking... speaking to a figure who hid under a cloak."

He looked at me in confusion. I'm almost certain that he thinks I have just gone crazy. But who would'nt be. When your best friend is gone and she was the only person that could keep you grounded you kind of go a little insane.

Calum took me in his arms and hugged me as I was feeling a wetness run down my face. I'm feeling guilty. Here I am, crying into the arms of my best friend's boyfriend making him feel sorry for me when he must be feeling a lot worse for not having her around to talk to or even hug and kiss... That's it Charlotte Roberts! Snap out of it! Your sister is missing and you have to find her!

"Cal! Call Luke and tell him to call up Alex and Jack to help him look, you go with Ashton, And I with my Michael. We must find Amy!

...

I met up with Michael around the mall where I had seen him last hoping to spill the secrets that he is hiding from me. He came in the same outfit I saw him in before. I ask him what he's been up to in a friendly way. Carefully not to alarm any suspicion from him.

"Funny you ask, when you called I was already at the mall. I wanted to look around for a new pair of shoes."

I think I just caught him. But I have to make sure that he was near the fountain at the same time I was at Starbucks with Calum.

"So... I THINK I SAW YOU WITH SOMEONE WHILE I WAS AT STARBUCKS!" I shouted. Shit. "I mean, what were you doing at the time of day." I say trying to save myself.

"Wha-What?!" he stutters. "Tha-That was my..." He takes a long pause. "That was an old friend of the family. She has embarrassing scars so she covers her self."

"Oh...okay well you haven't heard anything about Amy have you?" Darn! I thought I caught him. Well I mean I did, the reason wasn't just what I had expected it to be.

"No, but I'm sure she is fine. No use in worrying about someone who can take care of themselves. Besides, it's Calum we should be worried about." He told me.
