If You Would [h.s.] HOLD

Forty

So sorry for falling off the face of the planet. Long story short; I graduated, got my own place, start college in a few days, and literally fell in love. Yeah... A lot can happen in a month huh?

One week after 

Harry

Every day that I don't see Evelyn, is a day closer to my breaking point. I mean I guess I do see her in a way, she's everywhere. She's been the front page of every newspaper, and the headline to every article recently. Her face is plastered on the internet, on shop windows, on telephone poles. Most of the pictures have been posted by fans, they're trying to help and I get that but a part of me is angry about it as well. The police support the spread of awareness but they don't know Evelyn like I do. She wouldn't want this. She's a very private person and she doesn't like attention. I wonder if she knows that she's the hot topic in the news right now? 

I know she's alive. I would feel it if she wasn't I know it. I have this hope, and this knowing that she will be just fine. She'll probably need therapy, a lot of it, but she won't be dead and that's what matters. As long as she comes out alive we will be okay, and we can go back to normal. I'm not in denial or anything, I know she's in danger, but I also know that she's a strong woman, she can hold her own and she's so smart. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets herself out before the police find her. They think theyr're on to something. They've brought a few people into questioning and they've apparently discovered a lead, but they've had two other leads so far and those both lead to nothing. I have hope that Evie is alive and well but I'm losing some of that hope in the police. They won't tell me anything, only her parents, and they aren't really talking to me either so I've been having to do some digging myself. I read on the internet that they brought Chelsea Wilson into questioning. I didn't remember who that was in the moment but then I saw a picture and realised it was the waitress that was rude to Evelyn at the restaurant. . I scroll down the article and see the small snippet of video from the interrogation. 

How do they have the video? That's normally not released until after the case is closed. Before I watch the video I scroll down to the comments on the article. Everyone was screaming about now the news leaked the video illegally. The title read "Is Evelyn REALLY Missing?". The title alone pisses me off. I sigh heavily and ball my fist up. What do they mean is she really  missing? I click on the video before it can be removed. 

Chelsea- the day of the interrogation

My phone rings in my apron. I pull it out and check for caller ID but it's a number I don't recognize so I don't answer it. I've been doing that a lot more recently. Most of the time it's an automated voice scam. I begin to put the phone back in my pocket but it starts going off again with the same number calling. I look around to see if any of the managers are standing near by before answering the call. This better not be a waste of my time, I have to get home to Randy and Evelyn, I miss Randy so much while I'm at work it's insane. I click the little green button and put the phone to my ear. 

"Hell-"

"Is this Chelsea Wilson speaking?" a deeper voice bellows on the other side. The deep commanding voice is not what I expected.

"Uhm, who's asking?" I put up a small defense, there's a ball of nerves lighting up a fire in my stomach, I have a bad feeling.

"The city police station ma'am. You're being called in for questioning." he says matter-of-factly. My heart jumps into my stomach and I go silent. My chest tightens and I feel like there's a hand around my lungs, squeezing the last of my breath out.

"Chelsea?" I hear him beckon me and I snap out of it quickly. If I act suspicious they will nail me for sure. I clear my throat and use my customer service voice to disguise my terrified one.
