Harry 1:20 A.M.

My sleep is interrupted by the hotel door opening. I lift my head off of the hard floor to see Mak standing in the door way with something in her hand.

"Psst!" I whisper to get her attention. She snaps her head around and looks at me with squinted eyes.

"Where are you going?" I sit up all the way to face her. These hotels can be kind of sketchy and I know that people know who she is so I want to make sure she doesn't want someone to go with her. I'm sure Evelyn would but I don't want to wake her. Plus it's not like I was getting any good sleep on this floor anyway.

She shakes her head and stretches her arms a bit.

"I'm just gonna go to the vending machine. Do you want a snack?" She holds up the money that was in her hand.

I think about it for a second. Pop tarts sound pretty good right now.

"Uh yeah sure. Poptart. Want me to go with you?" I offer. She shakes her head again.

"No I'm okay. Thanks." She yawns as she closed the door behind her, leaving me in darkness. Even though this floor is hard to sleep on, sleep beckons me anyway. I lay back down on my stomach and wait for Mak to get back with the snacks. It takes a while, something must be wrong with the machine. I sigh and close my eyes. I won't fall asleep, I'll just chill out until she gets back.

But when the door opens again I'm too close to sleep to open my eyes again.

"Harry. Pssssst. Harryyyyy." Maks annoying voice drains through my ears. I open my eyes slowly and then all at once when I see her face only an inch away from mine.

"Fuck!" I yell out. That's not how I wanted to wake up. Now if that was Evelyn... it would be a different story. I sit up and she backs off.

"Do you know where Evelyn went?" She asks politely. Her eyelashes bat. Her legs are folded under her on the floor. I stretch my arms and yawn.

"Uhm. No. I've been asleep. Do you not know where she is?" I place my arms calmly in my lap. She probably just went to the breakfast bar or to the vending machine. I see the open package of pop tarts next to me and pick them up. One of them was gone and the second one had a bite taken out of it.

"Seriously?" I look up at her. She's the only one who could've eaten it since Evelyn wasn't awake last night. She rolls her eyes.

"That wasn't me. You probably just ate it in your sleep silly. Well I'm gonna go look for Ev." She stands up and heads for the door in silence. I stand up as well and go to check my phone which was charging next to where Evelyn was sleeping. I nearly trip over her shoes on the way there. That's weird.

She didn't wear her shoes? She only really where's her one pair of beat up Toms. I shrug it off and pick up my phone which was right next to Evelyn's. She didn't take her phone either?

She must be coming back pretty soon then. She can't go anywhere without her phone.

I hop on the bed and scroll through Twitter for a few minutes before Mak comes back in, without Evelyn.

"Didn't find her?" I ask. The fact that Evelyn wasn't with her created a knot in my stomach. I sit up on the bed and see that Mak looked concerned.

"I think we need to call the police."

My heavy feet stomp through the hotel hallway, making their way to the front desk where I slam my hands on the counter, snapping the lady behind it into the real world.
