Living Loving Maid

Chapter 3

*Also will be told in Hailey and Rowan's POV's.*

An hour had passed since Hailey had joined Jimmy and the others backstage, and she seemed to be enjoying herself. Robert had also offered to show Hailey around, and Hailey had talked some more about herself. Hailey was starting to miss Rowan a bit, and hoped that she was managing well without her.

Hailey couldn't help but notice Jimmy eyeing her every so often. She seemed to be unable to take her eyes off of him as well. Jimmy would catch Hailey looking at him, but he didn't mind. In fact, Hailey would see him actually smiling slightly. Robert would notice, and would joke around, saying Jimmy found 'another teenage girl to prey on'. 

Hailey was relaxing and staring at the TV, watching a show. Jimmy was talking with Robert, Bonzo, and Jonesy. A few moments later, Jimmy headed over to Hailey, and he smiled. "You know, I have a hotel room." He said. "I can take you there, if you'd like." Hailey instantly blushed. She definitely could not turn down this opportunity, even though it would end up worrying Rowan and maybe her mom as well. Hailey began to smile. "Really?" She asked. Jimmy nodded. "Of course." He said. Hailey glanced at Robert, Bonzo, Jonesy, and then back at Jimmy. "Do they know?" Hailey asked. Jimmy shook his head. Hailey raised an eyebrow. "Won't they get worried if they don't know where you are?" She asked. Jimmy sighed. "It doesn't really matter much to me." He said. "Besides, I enjoy being by myself sometimes." Hailey slowly nodded. "So, are you afraid that if you tell them, they'll end up wanting to join you?" She asked. Jimmy nodded. "Yea. I'm just in the mood to not really be around them." He said. "Well...maybe they will actually leave me alone if I tell them where I'll be." Jimmy then went over to where Jonesy, Bonzo, and Robert were. Shortly later, he returned. "Well, I told them." Jimmy said. "Might as well head out now." Hailey couldn't help but feel both excited and nervous. Jimmy looked at Hailey and smiled. "I can't drive, so there's somebody who'll be taking us." He said. Then, he headed towards the door, and opened it, glancing at Hailey while holding the door open. "Well...?" Jimmy asked. 

Without hesitation, Hailey headed out of the room, following Jimmy. Eventually, Hailey and Jimmy were out of the music venue, and were out in the parking lot, which was pretty much empty, except for a black limousine, a van with a Led Zeppelin-ish design...and Rowan's car. Hailey remembered that she had not seen Rowan while she was leaving with Jimmy, and therefore was unable to say goodbye to her. Hailey felt bad, and couldn't help but feel a bit bad for Rowan. Deciding that worrying wouldn't make anything better for her, Hailey focused on what was currently happening. I should be happy that this is happening. Hailey told herself. Not worrying about Rowan. 

Jimmy walked Hailey over to the van and opened the door. Hailey headed inside the van and looked around, and her eyes widened. She had never seen anything like this before. There was a couch, tables, a radio, a bed, a fridge, some paintings, a bookshelf, and a velvet carpet. Jimmy seemed to notice Hailey's reaction. "Amazing, isn't it?" He asked. Hailey nodded. Jimmy smiled and then sat on the couch, getting all comfortable. He gestured for Hailey to sit next to him, and then he looked at the driver. "To the hotel, please." Jimmy said. The driver smiled. "You got it." He said. Hailey couldn't help but feel even more excited. 

This is going to be so much fun.

Rowan's POV

Rowan looked around and noticed that Hailey was nowhere to be seen. The music venue was pretty much empty, and she saw Robert, Bonzo, and Jonesy leaving. Their manager, Peter, was with them, as well as some roadies. The only problem was that Jimmy wasn't with them, or Hailey. That seemed somewhat suspicious in Rowan's eyes, and she wanted to ask Peter or Robert and the others if they had any idea about what was going on, or if Hailey was okay, but Rowan figured that wouldn't be something she should do. Rowan didn't want to waste her time searching the music venue for Hailey. She's probably fine. Rowan told herself. She also seemed to notice that Robert, Bonzo, and Jonesy were behaving as though they knew that Jimmy wasn't around, but they didn't care. It was as if maybe they expected it. Rowan took a deep breath and headed out of the music venue, and noticed that the only vehicles in the parking lot were a black limousine and her own car. She looked at Robert, and decided that maybe she should ask him if he knew what was going on. Rowan headed towards him. "Sorry to...uh...be annoying or something, but this is really important and-"

Robert turned around and looked at Rowan. "You're not being annoying." He said, smiling. "What is it?" Rowan felt relieved that Robert was being friendly so far about this. She had honestly expected a different outcome. 

"Well," Rowan said. "I have a friend, and her name's Hailey, and I can't find her anywhere. Do you happen to know?" Rowan could sense that Robert was hesitant to answer at first, and that only raised her suspicions slightly. "All I can say is, Hailey is gone." Robert answered. "I can't answer the rest of your question, though." Rowan raised an eyebrow. "Why?" She asked. "You know where she is, don't you?" Robert sighed and looked away. "Jimmy would kill me if I gave away his location." He muttered to himself. 

"What?"

Robert looked at Rowan nervously. "Nothing." He responded. "Just talking to myself." Then, Robert headed off with Bonzo, Jonesy, and Peter, over to the limousine, leaving Rowan alone by herself, and without any answers. Rowan felt hopeless, and confused. She knew that Robert definitely knew something, but why was he being so vague? 

Rowan could definitely hear "Jimmy" in whatever Robert had said to himself. 

Did Jimmy do something to Hailey? 

Don't worry Ro...Hailey's alright...oR iS sHe?
