Desperado

part 5

"thank you" i tell the man who gave madison and i and hotel room keys

madison is a bit tipsey at the moment and just flirted with the guy, "and by chance do you guys have any computers?" i question

"yes we have a business center down the hall to the left" he tells me

"thank you" i say again and grab madison's hand to pull her away, "okay look, here are the keys. go to the room and please just go to sleep. also do you have your ticket?"

she hiccups, "ticket? you were driving!"

"no not a driving ticket, your plane ticket" i sigh

"it's on my phone" she digs her pockets and pulls out a pink cased phone

i grab it from her and let it scan her face to let me in, "okay, go to the room and i'll meet you there in a few"

"it was definitely her" david says

i chug down the last of the bottle and throw it out davids car, it shatters on the floor and i smile

"she isn't blonde!" geo sighs

"i forgot how fun it was to get drunk" i slur

"she looked so hurt, i feel so terrible" i hear geo

i lay back down and play around with my ring, "who?"

geo and david turn to look at me then back to the rode, "don't tell him he's drunk"

"i can hear you" i chuckle

how stupid can they be? i may be drunk but i'm not blind

oh gosh all i can think about is my beautiful wife who is waiting for me at home, damn i miss her

"where's elena?" i ask

i was a little for a answer but don't get one, "whatever, she's probably home waiting for me"

"just let him be, he'll knock out in a few more hours" one of them says

"k-knock out?" and before i know it i'm gone

i slowly open my eyes and see that i'm in... my old room? i sit up and look to my left to see elena but she's not there

why the hell am i here? i run out to the kitchen and see lexi and leo, "where the fuck is elena"

they both look at each other then back to me, "w-we don't know"

"she didn't come back?" i run my hand through my hair

"joey calm down"

"they have her! they fucking have her!" anxiety rushes in, "they took her didnt they that's why she's not back"

"joey!" carter shouts

"what!"

"someone give him some water" carter puts his hands on my shoulder, "remember yesterday?"

i close my eyes, fuck.

"yea" i gulp, liam gives me a glass of water and i chug it down, "so she didn't come back?"

carter shakes his head, "don't forget the plan"

i flop on the couch and take a deep breath, "i can't do this i want her back with me. they'll take her and my damn kids"

i hear a phone start ringing

"yes michael?" david sighs

everyone's eyes go to david who has the phone held to his ear, "now?"
