Ashton's POV

Harry's gone. No one has seem him since earlier today. Something tells me that C has something to do with this. I want to tell my mum and the police about C to help them find Harry but I can't. Lie after lie, telling them about C will just screw things up even more.

If C hurts Harry I don't know what I'll do. I'll be very mad, that's for sure. I have to keep Harry safe. I promised my mum that it'd be my job to keep everyone safe.

Luke and Michael should be here any minute.

"You sure you don't know anything about where Harry could possibly be?" Brent asked, walking into my room. He was still wearing his uniform.

"I already told you," I answered. "I don't have a clue and I'm just as worried as you are." I looked up at his face. "Scratch that, I'm even more worried than you could possibly be."

"You know, I care about you guys." Brent says. Classic Brent move. He tries and make us like him just because he 'loves' my mum. "I love your mum a lot. I've talked to your mum and we hope soon I'll be able to move in."

"Excuse me?" I asked. There was no way that I am going to live under the same roof as Brent. It's bad enough that he comes to my house.

"I don't know if you noticed but your mum also loves me a lot and whether you like it or not, I am becoming apart of your family." Brent said sternly.

I opened my mouth about to say something but Brent's phone started ringing. It seemed like one of his important police calls by the way he answered the phone. He left my room and hurried out the door. As he walked out Michael and Luke walked in.

"I think 'C' took Harry." I said to them. They didn't seem surprised at my assumption.

"You don't think 'C' will hurt him, do you?" Luke asked in a worried tone. I don't even want to think about what C could do to Harry.

"Well, if 'C' killed Cal then I don't even want to imagine what 'C' can do to Harry." I replied. Now I was even more worried.

"If Harry gets hurt I think we should tell the police about 'C'. Don't you?' Michael asked. I agree with him.

I nodded my head in agreement.

"How would 'C' even have taken Harry?" Luke questioned. "Do you think 'C' drugged Harry or just took him?"

"I want 'C' to leave the people we love out of this." Michael says. "If 'C' took Harry, then imagine who could be next."

"Can we talk about something else?" Talking about who could've taken Harry and what 'C' could do to him just made me even more worried. "Please?"

"I think we should watch the CD that was in the box." Michael announced, finally changing the subject.

"Do you have it?" I asked Michael.

He reached in his back pocket and pulled out the CD. He handed it to me. I took the CD and put it in my laptop. Luke and Michael gathered around me and I nervously pressed play.

On the screen, all you can see is dirt. Someone falls down onto the dirt. I can't tell who it is. Suddenly, the person grabs a handful of dirt as if in pain. Then the camera zooms out until you can see the person. The person has a cut going across their forehead.

The person looks like Calum.

We all gasped.

"Is that Calum?" Luke asked shocked.

"I think it is." Michael answered.

"Should we take this to the police?" Luke asked.

Maybe we should take it to the police.

"It'd be best if we did." Michael replied.

"Okay, but can one of us take it tomorrow?" I asked. "We aren't even supposed to be hanging out, remember?"

"Yeah, we do." Luke says. "I'll take it."

****

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of someone walking around in my room. I opened my eyes and looked around. A dark figure was standing in front of the window. I could barely tell who it was.

"It's a beautiful night, isn't it?" The person asked, turning to look at me.

"Calum?" I asked, confused. How is Calum standing in my room? I thought he was dead.

"Yeah?" He asked me.

"You're really here?" I asked him.

"Of course I am." Calum said.

"Then you know who 'C' is?" I asked. This is crazy. He's dead but he's standing in my room having a conversation with me.

"Don't let them fool you, Ash." Calum started. "Don't tell Luke or Michael I said this but I think you'll figure out who it is."

"Did 'C' take Harry?" I asked.

"Why don't you ask him yourself, Ash? He's okay and he's coming back home to you in the morning." Calum looked back out the window.

"How do you know all of this?" I asked. Calum didn't answer. He just stared out the window. "What is it?" I asked.

"I gotta go." Calum says opening the window. "Remember, 'C' is dangerous and tell the boys I said 'hi'." He climbed out the window, leaving the window open.

So, did you like this chapter? Sorry it took me so long to write it.

Also,

•Do you think you know who 'C' is yet or have any predictions?

and

•Do you think Calum is really dead or still alive after Ashton had a conversation with him in the middle of the night?
