Chapter 15

Liam
------

I heard loud sobbing, it sounded like Layla. I dragged my feet to the floor and walked to her room. When I got there she wasn't there, that's when I really woke up. Maybe Klaus knew where she was.

I opened the door to his room but he wasn't there either, his ninja turtle pajamas where scattered on the floor. My heart dropped to my stomach, where the fuck could they be?

I heard the loud sobbing again, if it wasn't Layla, who could it be? I followed the sniffling noises to my parents room and saw Mom. She had her head in her hands and dad with his arm around her trying to comfort her.

"Mom where is Layla and Klaus?" My voice came out very weak.

My dad looked up with me, his eyes were full of despair and he got up walking over to me. He pulled me out of the room and that's when things went downhill.

His eyes started to tear, soon he started crying. I knew this was serious, dad never cried. He was trying to hold it together with mom but he just couldn't anymore.

The only time I had seen my dad cry was when Devin's brother died......

-----------------

I went over to Devin's house despite the early hour. I knocked on the door and nobody answered. I pounded harder, yelling at someone to open the door. I saw Devin's father, Garret With a beer bottle in his hand and his eyes were blood shot.

"What do you want boy?" He slurred.

"I need to talk to Devin, like now."

All of the sudden Garret fell to the floor. Devin's mother Cara, was holding a bat behind her head.

"Go ahead Liam. I'm sorry you had to see that, he would of done unspeakable things to you If you were inside the house."

I was quite scared, I never really thought of the Summers having problems. They always looked happy and content.

I listened to Cara and went upstairs to Devin's room. I knocked lightly and saw Devin there, his eyes widened.

"Where were you?" I walked in his room and closed the door behind me.

He walked over to his window and grabbed a whiteboard, he wrote down a few things and showed it to me.

'Why?'

"Because Layla is missing and so is Klaus." I sat down on his bed and started crying. "You know how scared I am?"

I heard the marker tap on the board a few times and saw it appear on my lap.

'At the cemetery.'

"For what?"

'Brother.'

"Why?" I looked up at him and stared at him.

His eyes were full with anger and he grabbed my by the shirt, then everything went black.

I honestly felt much better when I punched Liam, but then guilt started to arise. I took the whiteboard and wrote something down for him.

'Sorry Asshole, I going to find them.'

With that I left and put on my black leather jacket, beanie, and vans. When I went downstairs I saw my dad on the floor, I thought mom probably hit him with the bat again.

He started getting drunk when my brother died, I admit it was hard, it still is.

I walked outside of the house and jumped in my red supra, speeding down the road. I retraced my steps towards the cemetery.

Passing Ridegson Road there was shattered glass and I got out of the car. A gray Lexus was on the side of the road but the driver was gone. Tyre marks went off the road and into a ditch.

And I saw it, the Jackson's black Nissan turned upside down. I heard sobbing but it was a man, not a little boy or a girl. I followed the crying and saw a man with two different people in his arms.

I look at the boy in his arms and saw Klaus. The other person was Layla, she was barely breathing. That's when my heart broke, she was looking for me. People actually did give a fuck about me and now they are close to dying.

I started crying and ran over to them. I looked at Layla and kissed her. I don't know why I did, I just felt like it was right. Maybe I won't see her again. Just maybe she won't wake up...
