Alesha's P.O.V~
After a long nights sleep, I finally managed to pull myself up and out of bed. Luke and Calum were already awake, making breakfast for us all. They had put the radio on loud to block out the sounds from the family on the flat above. I slowly walked into the kitchen, rubbing my eyes.
"Hey" I said, feeling a little sleepy still.
"Hey Ali" they said, simultaneously.
I giggle as Luke stupidly tips the cereal over the side of the bowl.
"How was your sleep?" asks Calum.
"It was good thanks, the bed is very comfy!"
Calum laughs a little and hands me a bowl. "Have whatever you want, there are no rules in my flat for breakfast!"
I smile and say "Thanks." I make my way over to where Luke was standing and carefully tip out the cereal into my bowl. We all sit down at the table. Me next to Luke and Calum opposite. I stir my tea, listening carefully to the radio. They were playing a well known song at the time until it was interrupted by a sudden news flash.
"News just in, two adults have been reported missing on the border of Sydney."
My eyes fix onto the radio.
"Are you ok Ali?" asked Luke, looking slightly worried.
"No, Luke, listen to the radio!" I say patting him on the arm.
"The two adults, aged around 40-45, were seen leaving their housing estate at around 11 o' clock on Friday night, going away in different cars. The neighbours had heard shouting and screaming a couple of minutes before the cars left the house. If you have any information, please call your local police."
I turned around to face Luke. He looked terrified. My eyes began to well up but I managed to hold them in. Luke pulled me in by my shoulders, hugging me tight.
"Don't worry, Ali."
"What are you going to do Luke? About the information calling thingy?" Calum asked his cheek rested against his fist.
"I don't know" he said, letting go of me. "Maybe I shouldn't just yet" he paused, "What if they ask for any information from us like where we are now?"
"Luke" I interrupt, "If we give them some more information, there's a better chance of them being found!"
"The police already know pretty much what we know happened so there's no point! We'll just have to wait and see what happens ok?" he says, stroking my hand. I pull away, feeling hurt and angry with him.
🌸
After breakfast, I go to my room. Why couldn't Luke just phone in? I thought to myself. The police don't know exactly what happened. I grab my photo album from out of my bag and open it to the page when we went on holiday as one big, happy family. The pictures brought a few tears to my eyes, bringing back all the good memories.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. I quickly shut the album as I heard Calum's voice outside.
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah sure" I say, rubbing my thighs.
"Are you alright?" he asks, sitting beside me on my bed.
"Yes, but I wish Luke would just phone in."
"He was right though, the police do probably know as much as you do."
"Hum, yeah, I guess so" I say, staring down at the floor.
"Let's not give up though" Calum pats me on my back. I smile at him, gently. He leaves the room, shutting the door carefully but not completely as he comes back in.
"I'm here if you need anything!" he says, making me laugh.
"Ok, thanks Cal." I smile at him as he closes the door. I really need to get to know Calum more.
