Always & Forever - Janthony (discontinued)

Chapter 14: Finding You

Anthony's POV:

"Jas! Baby where are you?!" I yelled out, looking around for the short, light-skinned, mixed girl, long hair, mature, and a body that would catch anyone's attention. We had been separated when the police pulled her aside for questioning. Standing up and lifting my chin to look above all the cop and news station cars, shouting for Jasmine. I started walking around slightly, trying not to stray too far from where I was, just in case she came back. There was no sight of her anywhere, so I decided to ask the nearest person if I could use their phone.

"Excuse me sir, could I use your phone?" I asked the tall caucasian man in the blue uniform leaning on the police vehicle.

"Sure, who would you like to call?" He asked me, pulling out his phone.

"My girlfriend. I don't have my phone with me. She's somewhere around here but I can't find her and I don't want her to be alone, especially with what just happened..." He nodded politely, not pushing any further questions and instead just handing me the phone with the keypad already opened for me to dial her number.

After dialing the number that I had memorized from when we first met, I put the phone up to my ear, listening as it dialed out. No answer.

I tried her number again, even checking to make sure it was her number only for it to go straight to voicemail with Jasmine's sweet soft voice coming after. Maybe her phone died? Suddenly a wave of panic hit over me. What if something happened to her again? What if she got lost? What if the cop was fake and did something to her? My mind scattered as my eyes scanned around for Jazzy.

I decided to try and call my sister instead, since she would most likely be up right now. "Hey Steph, it's Ant. Can you come pick up me and Jas? Some serious shit went down."

"Yeah for sure just send me the address. Also, does this mean I finally get to meet the special girl that you never shut up about?" Steph asked. I could practically hear her smirking through the phone.

"Yes, but don't freak her out. Like I said, tonight's been a shit-show so just chill." I pleaded with her.

"Of course I will. Also, I'matMa'srightnowsoshe'scomingwithmekayBYE!"

Just before I would interject, she hung up, leaving me standing there slightly giggling as I handed the officer his phone back, giving him a polite nod, thanking him for allowing me to borrow it. I looked around for Jasmine one more time, doing a quick little check as my eyes fluttered shut, causing me to fall asleep.

Jazzy's POV:

"...and that's all I can recall sir." I told the officer who was writing down all that I was saying. After a few last questions he set me free, allowing me to go back to Anthony. But there was one issue... I had no idea where Anthony was. When the office escorted me away from him, he led me to a secluded area so that I could tell the story without any interruptions.

I took out my phone and unlocked it to find 28 missed calls from Pippa, 16 missed calls from Renée, and almost about 230 unread text messages from both of them combined. I decided to call Pippa back and let her know I was alive.

"Hey Pippa, everything is okay. I found Anthony and everything is fine." I said, quickly scanning around for a sight of Anthony.

"It's okay Jas. We're almost there by the way." She replied, sounding unfazed.

"Wait what? What do you mean 'you're almost here'?"

"Did you not read my texts? I said that Nae-Nae and I would come find you ourselves since we have your location, the same way you have ours." Pippa told me, giggling slightly at the end.
