Scarlet POV~

It has been nearly 5 days since what happened in my backyard pool. We have became even closer, I still haven't heard from Mikaylah or Josh.

I walk to my 3rd block with Louis, when we enter we are greeted by friendly smiles from everyone. People are just waiting till we are an item. I have always been single, and I don't really give anyone a chance, but Louis is different.

The overhead speaker dings 4 times until a voice emits from the speaker

"Scarlet Murphy to see Sheriff Masters Please."

Everyone gives me a weird look but Louis insists he goes with me, but I say no.

As I enter the unfamiliar office I am greeted by a few familiar, crying faces.

"Mrs.Dought, what's wrong?" I ask, my best friends mom.

"Mrs. Murphy, please take a seat." said the sheriff. Why won't she answer me?

"Mrs.Murph- Scarlet, We have some unnerving news, but you can't go telling anyone. This is only for your ears." The sheriff spoke again. I nod in agreement.

"To my understanding Mikaylah Dought hasn't been at school for a while, over a week?" He spoke. I could tell where this was going, Mikaylah was a bit of a party animal, so she is probably having a massive hangover at someone's house out in Sacremento.

"Sheriff, sir. Mikaylah parties all the time. She is probably just in hiding." I say before he could speak again.

"But Scarlet, about 3 days ago, we found this 3 miles away from the beach." And he pulls out the crop top Mikaylah was wearing only a week ago. Covered in blood. Her mom covers her mouth in disbelief along with me.

"Its not-" I get cut off. "It is a matter of fact, Mikaylah Dought's blood."

"There is no proof she is either alive or dead, so if you hear from her or her boyfriend Josh? Contact the authorities ASAP." he says in monotone.

"Yes, yessir." I whisper, tears are brimming in my eyes, clouding my vision.

I run out of the office, run past my class into the bathroom, and break down. This cannot be happening. This was supposed to be our senior year. She can't be dead. She will be back! Nothing is gonna happen to her! This stuff only happens in books!

I wipe my eyes and reapply some makeup. I then walk back into my class.

"Everything alright?" Louis asks, looking just as concerned as I am about Mikaylah.

"Hey, yeah. Everything is okay. Can we ditch 4th block?" I say a little too soft.

"Whatever you want love." He coos. Wrapping his arms around my waist. Our teacher isn't very strict. So she just let's us sew all class.

The bell rings and we go out the back doors and walk to my car. And I drive to a Starbucks and get my favorite Drink.

"Are you sure everything's alright? You can tell me anything." he says, guilting me.

If I was in his shoes, I would want him to tell me. I mean, if we really want a healthy relationship ever, I might as well be honest. Plus, he is great at comforting.
