GRIFFIN
After the Ubers park in front of the hotel, we all get out and head inside. Our plan is to drop all of our things off in our rooms then head out to get a late lunch.
Once we get upstairs and drop our stuff in our rooms, we immediately turn around and head back towards the elevator with complaints of being hungry.
"Where's Noen?" Chase asks once we get off the elevator and back in the lobby. We start heading towards the main doors.
   "Him and Elly were going to walk back," I tell him.
   "Yeah. And that's all they are going to do." Josh walking in between us is the only thing that stops me from punching Anthony's face in after that comment. Anthony shrieks and runs off to the front of the group.
   "Real funny," I yell to the front of the group. Everyone bursts out laughing as I glare at him, but then they stop suddenly.
   "Ow!" a few people yelp from the front of the group. People move out of the way to reveal a pile of them on the floor. Joe quickly pulls Jason out from under the pile while Anthony and Josh get themselves up. Noen is sitting on the floor in the aftermath of their crash.
   "Noen?" Chase asks, pulling him up off the floor. Noen's knee wobbles underneath him, and he almost collapses, so Chase helps him over to a chair. Once he's been seated, we all stand around us.
   "Where's Elly?" I ask, well, growl. Noen looks up at me with fear all over his face and scoots back in his chair. I sigh and turn to everyone else. "How about you guys go ahead and go get lunch?"
   "Sounds good," Josh mutters quickly, speeding off towards the door. Everyone but Anthony and Chase follow behind him.
   I turn back to Noen, who is wincing as he tries to move his knee. "Where is Elly, Noen?"
   "I-I...uhm..." Noen scratches are the side of his head. "I left her on the sidewalk a few blocks away."
   "Why?" Anthony asks, now standing behind me.
   "Well, I explained to her that I didn't want to be with her, that I was with Abby, and I apologized for leading her on. But then I was crying, so I left before it got bad," Noen blubbers, wiping tears off his face. He pulls his hand away to see blood from a scratch on his cheek that he must've gotten when he fell.
   "So let's be clear about this, Noen." I put my hands on either side of his chair, and he leans back. I get quiet. "You left my sixteen-year-old sister alone on the middle of the sidewalk in a city she's never been to before, correct?"
   "Y-yeah," Noen stutters.
   "And do you have any idea where she went?"
   "No."
   "Why not?"
   "Because I didn't turn around to see where she went after I came back here," Noen whispers. I look him dead in the eyes.
   "You do understand that if something happens to her, I'm coming after you, right?"
   "I understand."
   "Griffin, let's go look for her," Anthony says. I pull away from Noen's chair, and a wave of relief crashes over his face.
   "We should try calling or texting her first to see if she's just lost," Chase suggests.
   "I already tried that," Anthony says quietly from beside me. We all look over at him. "She didn't respond."
   I look back down at Noen. "Did you tell me everything that happened?"
   "Yes."
   "Griffin, lets just go." Anthony tugs on my arm and begins pulling me towards the door. "I'll call everyone else and have them see if they can find her near wherever they went for lunch."
   "I'm going to take him up to the room first and get him some ice for his knee," Chase calls over to us. We both nod as he starts helping Noen up out of the chair and we leave the lobby and go outside.
