Roger hadn't slept all night. Of course, Cory was sleeping as if he wouldn't budge if there was even an earth quake.
When his cell rang, Roger jumped to answer it. He knew it had to be Ryan. Had to be. But it wasn't.
"So Elliot's here looking for Ellie," Kyle said instantly.
"Elliot?" Roger pulled a face, that was the last person he wanted to hear of. "What's he doing there?"
"What do you think? He's worried. Have you heard from Ryan or anything?"
"No." Roger felt a cold chill then. Something bad had happened. He just knew it, and it was all his fault.
"What should we do?"
Roger didn't want to be a freaking idiot just to call the cops on something they'd write off as somebody who was just hanging out after Prom.
"Tell her Dad or somebody. What do you think? I-I thought she was going to be with us, anyway. But she came late and just said she'd meet up with us..because of, you know who..." Roger meant Elliot, thinking now this was his fault.
"Do you think she's with Ryan?"
"Possibly." Roger felt like throwing up. How could this have happened? "Tell her Dad what's up, will you?"
"All right." Kyle sounded indifferent about it. "She might be on her way home right now."
"Let's hope she is." Roger felt himself slightly shake with the thought that maybe all was not right the world. He hung up with Kyle and dialed Ryan right away, just to get his voice, to leave a message.
They should be contacting her family asap, everyone needs to know. Lets hope she's safe.
ReplyDeleteI know Kyle will do the right thing. That would be scary.
ReplyDeleteRoger should be worried. Its freaky how long friends can wait for these kind of things.
ReplyDeleteI hope she manages to get home ok! It's so scary when you can't get hold of someone, the worst scenarios always pop into your head...
ReplyDeleteColour wise with outfits and tights I try and buy colours I know will go with the rest of my wardrobe. As of yet I don't own yellow or white tights!
