Love Drunk 3.0 (Completed)

Chapter 4

L.A. 4 p.m.
Ethan POV -

The last time I spent time on this trampoline, y/n was here beside me. I overlook the valley and reach in my pocket to grab her note again. The paper looks worn and all corners have multiple folds in it now. I trace my fingers over the text. "Your touch was my survival.." I whisper. I read this note multiple times a day. It's all I have left. I carefully fold it again and slide it into my pocket when David, Jason and Jeff walk into the backyard. I see Gray walk out of the house behind them. They all sit down on, and around, the trampoline. "I know where she is.." David says and my eyes immediately shoot up to lock with his. "I've got information on the hotel Shawn is staying in. The people at Seatgeek are willing to help us try to reach out to Shawn's management." David adds. My heart is pounding in my throat and I am not surprised to feel my heartrate go up. The first thought that crosses my mind is.. if we know where she is, I can fly to London and bring her back home! David opens Instagram and shows me a picture. It's from a paparazzi account and on the picture I see Shawn Mendes and y/n getting out of a car. Butterflies are trying to escape my stomach and take over my body when I see y/n. Her brown hair is long and covers her back. She's wearing a white top and I see the letter E tattooed on her wrist. That's my girlfriend, but at the same time I barely recognize her. I feel like I always knew what she was thinking, how she felt and what mood she was in. But seeing this beautiful girl in the photo.. it's like seeing a shell of the girl she used to be. Her eyes are empty and she looks exhausted and numb. It worries me to see her like this. I can tell she is not doing well.

Grayson peeks over my shoulder at the photo. "Shit.." he breathes. "She doesn't look good.. at all!" He says and I slowly turn my head and stare at him. The angry frown on my face says it all, but I decide to enforce my displeasure with the words: "You think so?!!". He shrugs his shoulders. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that!" He quickly says. I ignore Grayson and stare at the picture again. "I'm going to London." I say, more to the picture than to the actual people around me. "Now that we know for a fact that she is actually really there, I need to go. I need to see her." I add, now looking up. "I'm coming with you, bro." I hear Gray say as his puts his hand on my shoulder and squeezes it, to show me his support. "We're all coming with you, man." David now says with a smile. Both Grayson and I look up at David. "You're not allowed to leave the country under DACA.." I tell David as if he doesn't know that himself and they all start laughing. "I applied for advance parole." David says proudly. "And believe it or not, but he got approved!" Jason says shaking his head. "Are you serious?" Grayson asks in disbelief and David nods his head with a big grin on his face. "So, let's call all our friends and see who's willing to help us find y/n in London!" He says. "Let's go and get your girl back!" Jason adds to the conversation and my stomach starts to tingle. I'm gonna find you y/n!
