Sorry for this, but is anyone even reading this? I feel like I'm letting everyone down as these chapters go...

I grabbed his arm, "Where are you going?"
He stuttered, he looked stressed, "I can't- I'll text you," he spoke, breaking from my grasp and ran out the door, behind Lilly.
I stood there, most people wouldn't be awake at 7:38 in the morning, but Molleejo had to go home before her parents woke up, and once I drove her home, I couldn't get myself to go back to bed.
My hair was done up in a tight bun, I had a green shirt and navy blue pajama pants, and I stood for about 46 more seconds until my bagels came out of the toaster, and spent 37 more spreading cream cheese and butter on them.
I had just started my second one, I was rested on the kitchen counter, and Drew walked through the door, you could see stress in his face, it was knotted as if he were to cry. I put my bagel down on to my plate.
"What's wrong?" I asked and moved towards him.
"I don't know, but Lilly left, ran, to the hospital," he spoke as he sat.
I sat next to him in curiosity, "Why'd she go?"
"Exactly, I don't know. And it pains me to know that I can't help. She left me," he looked over at me. I looked at him and you could see a faint tear in his eye.
"There's that possibility that she doesn't want to be found. she left for a reason."
"It's a hospital, Madeline, obviously she wanted to be found," he spoke distantly but fondly, I would understand if he were upset, but he showed no expression of it.
"Then why would she run?"
He stopped at this, his expression was unreadable and for 16 years I've known this kid, I never really knew him. I always thought of him as like, a brother, who got easily mad, I didn't think him of anything more, anything less. obviously I was wrong, he was extremely infatuated with this girl who was extremely infatuated with him.
We sat in silence, it settled more than speaking. It felt better in silence, just sitting now, on the couch, just sitting in each other's company, and it really felt like I knew him better, and I was just starting too.
"I'm.. uh, gonna go get my phone, and maybe try to contact her.." His voice trailed off behind him.
His small steps thundered up the stairs in a quiet fashion, and he didn't come back down stairs. I sat in thought with the rich silence, seeming to be laced with gold, like a medicine to my head ache.
The golden day took me away to wear me into sleep.

I woke up on the couch at 4pm exactly. The plush pillow was indented into my cheek, and my hair was as it was before.
It felt like no one was home, my bagel from earlier was still in its spot, and everything was in it's rightful place.
I gotten ready about 30 minutes later, and I was in the process of straightening my hair, Drew was zoned out by the music, but he constantly talked about her. And it was just this morning had she left.
I sighed, my day, was lost in the circle of life, time.
And it was that time of day, I had nothing to do, no where to go. So I decided, I should get on YouNow, since I do one daily.
And so I got on, the viewers piled in quickly, and I started talking, the broad cast was longer then I expected, but I still kept going.
"Where's Drew?" I read the comment aloud, "He's like, in his room crying," I spoke, I didn't intend for it, but it slipped.
"Well not like, crying..... but..." I trailed off. How could I cover that up?
And so I just talked a bit, I didn't want that topic to burst up, mostly when people didn't know about them being together.
I ended my YouNow around 7 to do my home work, and by the time I "finished" it was 10. And as soon as I closed my eyes I was out, I hadn't heard news about Lilly, I hadn't known what was happening.
I just knew that when I wake up there would be a shit load of things to handle tomorrow.
