Willow is a party girl who has no real goals for her life. She is starting her junior year with her best friend Delilah Carter. The two get into a lot of trouble sometimes. The night before their first day of junior year, Delilah throws a party. The...
"Delilah you have to think," I was panicking, "what happened at your party last night?"
The cops ended up letting Delilah and I go because we truly didn't remember anything and they couldn't continue to question us without the presence of our parents.
"I don't know!" Delilah screamed. I could tell she was just as afraid as I was, if not more.
The situation looked really bad for the both of us. More so for Delilah. It was her party that she threw at her house. Since someone went missing, it ultimately looked like it was Delilah's fault. But the cops couldn't believe that Delilah planned that, could they?
"This is bad Will," Delilah started pacing in the hallway, "what if they think that I did something. I could go to jail!"
I tried to hide my anxiety the best I could. "Just calm down Lilah. We have to remain calm until they find Alex. I'm sure she is still alive. Maybe she ran away or something."
That honestly could've been possible. Alex didn't have the best home life. Her parents were shitbags. They didn't care about her or her little brother, Stephan. I never understood how someone could bring a child into this world and not care for them. The Nelson's treated Alex and Stephan like some burden in their lives. It was painful to be over at her house sometimes when we were younger. Delilah and I should've been there for her after the blowup with Arya. It's not like we had any allegiance to Arya. She made that very clear. If only we could go back in time and make things right.
"Do you really think she would run away," Delilah asked with tears streaming down her face.
"I mean it's possible," I replied, "you know what her home life was like. I would run away too if I had to deal with her parents."
"You're right. Maybe that's what happened," Delilah said with panic still in her eyes.
We walked back to our classes, hand in hand, in silence. I was scared and she was too. There was nothing we could do or say. No words could come after what just went down. We were in some deep shit and I was praying that Alex would come back and pull us out of the grave Delilah and I dug ourselves. I never thought that partying, the only thing that I was good out, would end up being my demise.
I finally made it to the Biology door and I turned around to see Delilah crying even more. "Hey Delilah don't worry. Everything will work out. It always does."
Delilah looked up and I could see a pained look in her eyes. I had never seen her like this before. I knew the way she felt was serious.
"You don't know that," and with that she walked away and went to her first period.
I walked in and took my seat. I could feel everyone's eyes staring at me. I could feel the eyes of a specific person who I so badly wish wasn't looking. Any other time, I would've enjoyed Zayn Johnson looking at me. But not today.
As I sat down, Zayn began to talk to me. "Hey you okay? You seem frazzled."
"Yeah I'm good," I said trying to hide my anxiety, "yeah he just called us in there for a stupid prank we did last year. I can't believe that it took him this long to figure out it was us."
Zayn laughed and turned back around to start talking to his friends again. I don't know why I lied to be honest. If he was at the party, this whole situation could affect him too. I didn't want that for him. He had a really bright future. Despite only knowing him for literally two seconds, I could already tell that I was going to develop feelings for him. And that would put me in way over my head. That's for sure.

Hi guys! I hope you're having a fantastic day! I don't know if you guys noticed or not but I have kind of developed a schedule for publishing parts of this story on Monday's. I am going to try to stick to this schedule because it's summer now where I am from so I'll be out of school for the next two months. If I don't post one day, just know that I'm pretty busy because I usually have jam packed summers as well. I'll try to post later that week if I can. This is what I picture Arya to look like. No hate to Alissa Violet at all. I just thought she would be the perfect person to play this character. Welp, I hope you guys have a beautiful day!
