Unknown Reasons [Michael Clifford]

Chapter Five

"I don't know where she could've gone Mrs. Taylor. I'm really worried." I said, talking on the phone with Lily's mother. It's been three hours that I've lost Lily. "Are you sure she isn't there at home?" I asked. I knew it was a stupid question because she wouldn't walk out on me, well I hoped that she wouldn't.
I walked around two blocks and the back alleys to see if she was anywhere. I run my hands through my hair. "Michael, where are you?" Mr. Taylor, Stewart said. "866 Yates Street." I answer. "We'll be right there. Just wait there, I'm pretty she hasn't gone far. I wipe my eyes and think this is all my fault. What if she didn't just wonder off? What if she got taken? I walk back to the restaurant and shout Lily's name once again before walking inside. "Have you found her?" Ceilia, the cashier said. I shake my head no. I walk towards the back and look at the emergency exit. I walk out and look at the door. No one can come in this way, considering there's no handle on the outside. I was starting to think she got taken away.
Fifteen minutes later, I hear Stewart. I quickly braced myself for the yelling from him from losing his daughter. I see Samantha and she ran to me and hugged me. I hugged back tighter. "We'll find her." She said. Stewart didn't tell at me at all, he just asked me questions. I answer all of them truthfully.
Ten hours has past, still no sign of Lily. We tried phoning the cops but they said that they couldn't do anything until she has been missing for twelve to twenty four hours.
I picked up my phone once again and failed nine one one. "Hi, what's your emergancy?" The lady on the phone said. "Hi, I've called earlier to fill a missing report, Lily Taylor. She hasn't showed up in the last ten hours and we are worried sick about her and we really really need your help. Please." I say getting tired of trying to get the police involved. I wipe my eyes to stop tears running down my cheeks but it wouldn't stop. I'm thinking all these negative stuff in my mind. "Police are on their way for questioning." She responded. I nodded. "Thanks." I said before hanging up, I knew that they tracked where I was before telling me that they were on their way otherwise I would've told them. I walk inside the Taylor's house. "Stewart, The police are coming over for questioning." I told him. He nodded as he stared at the empty wall.

"Where was the last place you seen her?" The police asked. "We were at Floyd's Diner. She said she was going to the bathroom but I didn't see her since." I explained. "Dis you hear a scream or something?" She asked. I shook my head no. "I waited for her at our table but she didn't come back, I went to go check up on her but she wasn't there." I answered. "Look, everything is going to be okay, we will find her." She said, being positive. I nodded as she dismisses me. I walk to the porch and sat on the steps as Stewart, Kathy and Samantha are being questioned. "This is all my fault." I whispered to myself.

I walked around school to see if Lily was around, but there was no sign of her. It's been two days without her. I couldn't eat at all ever since she went missing. I walk out of the school doors and walked to my truck. I went inside of my truck and just as I was about to reverse, I seen Lily's reflection on my rear view mirror, she smiled at me and she ran off. I got out of my truck and tried to run after her but once I ran to the back I didn't see her anywhere. I took out my phone and called Stewart. "Hello?" He answered in a quiet voice. "Stewart! I think I may have seen Lily! She's around her at school. I'm in the parking lot, when I was about to reverse I saw her on my rear view mirror. I tried chasing after her but she disappeared!" I said quickly while I was walking around to see if she's around here. Stewart hung up. I put my phone in my pocket and searched around for Lily.

"She's not around here, are you sure you have seen her?" The same lady officer asked me. "Yes, I swear!" I said. They looked at me if I was crazy, but I know I saw her.
"Michael, I think you need to rest and eat." The lady said. "I will not rest until I find her." I said. Stewart pulled me to him and have me a hug. I know I've only known Lily for almost a month but still she's my best friend, my girlfriend. Well not technically, but I was going to ask her if she could be my girlfriend at dinner two days ago.
"You should get some rest. Have you called your parents?" Stewart asked. I shake my head no. He handed me his cell phone. "You can use mine." He said. He must've thought about I can't afford to call out of the country with my phone. I dial the numbers to my hometown in Australia.
"Hello?" My father answered the phone. "Dad?" I said quietly. "Hey, son. Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head no as if he'd see me. "No." I say taking a deep breath. "What's wrong? Honey, pick up the phone it's Michael." He said. My mother picked up the other phone. "A best friend of mine is missing. She has been for the past two days and I don't know how to feel right now. I'm really worried and only can think all of these negative things." I say to the phone trying hard not to cry. I haven't talked to my parents in awhile. "Aw, baby! You will find her. She'll be okay." My mother said trying to make me feel better. I didn't want to believe her. My heart is breaking and aching. "You should get some rest. You sound exhausted. They will find your best friend. Do you want us to come to Canada? Because we can." My father suggested. "Yeah." I say wiping my eyes. "I really need you guys right now." I said. There was a big lump in my throat. I didn't want to cry. "We'll be there as soon as we can." My mother said. "Baby, at least have some rest." She added. I nodded but remembered that she can't see me. "Ok." I finally said. "We'll be there, we'll call you when we land." My father said.
