Bring The Rain

Chapter 6

   "Where the fuck is this bitch?" Javier screamed to no one as he got into his black Chrysler 300. He had been calling Ara all day to ensure that she was only doing what he had instructed. He was furious, "that bitch knows better than to ignore my calls". Speeding down the busy street Javier was swerving around traffic and running red lights. Ara wasn't answering any of his phone calls and when he asked a neighbor if Ara was home he told Javier that he saw her leaving with bags of laundry this morning, but she had not yet returned.
   Javier was gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles had turned white, he was going to teach Ara a lesson about ignoring him. Checking his phone app he saw that Ara's last location was the Walmart near his home and that she was still there. Within minutes he was pulling into the Walmart parking lot, silently thanking God that he didn't get pulled over for the reckless way that he was driving. Once inside he searched every aisle for Ara with no luck, he called her phone constantly listening for its ringtone. Once he was sure that she wasn't there he headed back to his car angrier than before but confused as to what he should do. 'Maybe she lost her phone', he thought to himself. He drove the few short blocks to the Coin Laundry that Ara usually went to. There was no sign of her there either, his anger was growing.
   He decided to go back home in hopes that she would be there, waiting with a meal prepared and ready to apologize for her actions. He pulled into his usual parking space and seeing no sign of her car he just couldn't understand where she could be. He rushed up the stairs into his apartment slamming the door behind him. "Ara!", he screamed her name as he searched the apartment for her, there were not many places for her to hind in such a small apartment and Javier had lost himself at this point. He began to throw chairs around the room in a fit of rage, "How dare this bitch leave me! She's not stupid, she knows I'd kill her if she ever left me"! He continued his assault of the apartment letting out his pent up anger. After breaking one of the chairs and punching holes in various walls he sat on the couch with his head In his hands as he tried to calm his nerves. Where the fuck could she go, her parents weren't speaking to her, and she had no friends, Javier had made sure of that. He just didn't understand where she could be but he was certain about one thing, this was no accident. He knew that Ara wasn't missing, she did this on purpose and he was going to find her and make her pay for leaving him like this.
