When I finished cleaning it was coming up to the time when Ashton would get the train home so I cleared up all of the cleaning items and returned them to their usual habitat which was in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. I then applied just the right amount of make up for it to look natural, spritzed some body spray over me and started to make my way out.
I arrived within five minutes because the shop wasn't really far from my apartment and there was hardly any traffic. As I entered the shop it came to my attention that there was alot more people than there usually is and it surprised me. Isaac made me a fruity tea and I sat down in one of spare chairs right at the back because I absolutely hating sitting at the front where everyone looks at you when they walk in.
After staring at the door and the outside windows for a good five minutes I decided to get my favourite book which I always carry around with me in my handbag which is 'The Fault In Our Stars' yes I know very stereotypical but I can't get enough of the book and John Green's language and style of writing it's honestly amazing.
He still hasn't arrived when my cup was half empty so I returned my book in my bag, drank the remains of my tea and walked out of the shop. Tears pricked the corners of my eyes as I walked home. Why did he stand me up? Where was he? It might just be me over reacting though, he could of missed the train or something.
As I walked up the stairs to my apartment my eyes fixed on a white piece of paper that was taped on my door. "Probably just a reminder to pay my bills" I murmered to myself. My stomach dropped. What the the fuck? It said " Are you wondering where your precious Ashton is? You're going to have to come and find him" in scruffy writing.
My heart dropped. I shoved the paper into my bag and ran to the first person that I thought of. Michael. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me whilst my mind was swirling with possibilities. I banged on his door repeatedly until he answered. "Katie wha-" he began to say before I cut him off. "It's Ashton please you have to help me" I said in a panicked tone as I forced the paper into his hand.
He took a brief look at it before he said "Come on". He ran to his car and opened the door for me whilst tapping his foot impatiently at the same time. I stepped in the car and so did he and we sped off immediately. "Do you have any idea where he could be?" I asked Michael. My whole body was shaking, I've never been so worried in my life before.
"There's this twat from school who always used to threaten Ashton about something, none of us ever knew why" he said with great concentration on the road ahead. "So do you think it's him?" I questioned. "Most likely" he said sounding annoyed. "But how does he know where I live?" I nearly shouted whilst frowning. " I don't know!" he said sounding annoying therefore I decided not to say anything else for the rest of the journey.
I kept taking deap breaths to try and calm myself down but it wasn't going to plan. Every time I close my eyes the worst scenario comes to mind which makes the tears come rushing back again. All if sudden the car came to a stop at an old warehouse. My stomach dropped once again.
