MONDAY MORNING

kelsea's POV

i woke up with a pounding headache. looking around me i recognized where i was , chase's house.

i saw my phone on the night stand next to me, i grabbed it and it was 10:30. i called chase quickly to see if he would answer. he picked up on the third ring, "hey kels."

"hey chase umm i think i'm hungover as fuck right now should i go back to lauren's?" i asked yawning at the end of my sentence

"my parents are gone for the week so you can stay if you'd like, get some food and i have pedialytes and you can watch netflix or something" he said to me

i nodded and got up out of bed, pulling my hair into a messy bun, noticing i was in my dress still, i took it off and realized i had no underwear on. "okay thank you i'll see you after school." i said and hung up and tried to look through the drawers.

shit i have nothing to change into

i ran to chase's room and grabbed a pair of his boxers and a led zeppelin t shirt. putting it on and then going downstairs to the kitchen, i grabbed some bread and popped it into the toaster. i opened my phone and went to messages,

lauren 💞💘💝💓💖 : there's a whole search party today at school for you.. don't stress we got it covered don't leave chases house though, are you feeling okay this morning?

me : yea i feel better just a lil hungover. eating toast rn

lauren 💞💘💝💓💖 : ok ily me and chase will be there after school

i read the text as my toast popped up and i buttered it and took a bite and went into the living room, turning on the tv.

after watching two movies, i went upstairs, looking around the house.

walking into chases parents room i found myself in their bathroom.

i snooped through the cabinets,

as my eyes landed on xanax and oxycodone, i looked around and then grabbed the bottle of oxy, opening it up i poured five pills into my hand and put the pills back, accidentally leaving the cupboard open, i went back downstairs, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge and popping them all into my mouth and drinking the water to swallow them, i then sat back on the couch.

i hadn't had my pills on me, and oxy used to help me. well kinda.

corbyn had a few days off before they had to resume the tour. so today the band and corbyn's mother went looking for kelsea. they were very stressed out

they kept on blaming themselves for her running away

as soon as school ended, lauren and chase went right to chases car. driving off as the cops were surrounding the school

they got to chase's house and pulled into the garage, closing it behind them and running inside, "kels were here" they didn't see her so they looked around the house,

they looked all over until they found her in the guest room.

"hey we're here, the police are surrounding the school but we're safe here, you feel any better?"
lauren asked me

i nodded and pulled my legs close to my body "ya i'm alright, honestly this just sucks though. my life sucks."

lauren's body sank as she sat next to kelsea, "i know. my mom told me you could stay at my house now, chases parents come back tomorrow, and wyatt was talking about you today, he came up to me and asked if you're gonna come back, no one is telling any adult authorities or anything though. wyatt was high as fuck after lunch and was saying how he wanted you to leave virginia with him too, i don't know he was high."

i looked at her. "what does he mean?"

lauren shrugged, "not sure, i think he likes you a lot though."

i smiled, "he was very sweet to me." i said and felt my body start to shake.

"hey, you okay?" lauren said getting worried

i nodded slowly "yeah i'm fine"

lauren's POV

i looked at kelsea and nodded, "okay i gotta go, wanna come with me now? chase will drop us off at my house. my mom is making dinner right now." kelsea didn't say anything she just continued shaking. so i grabbed her hand and pulled her up and helped her down the stairs, holding her dress in my hand.

"i- i might have to bring the clothes back later chase if that's o-ok." she mumbled.

"ya it's alright," he said and we all got into the car,

i heard sirens all around and looked in the back "kels lay down" she did as told and i looked around and there were posters and pictures of kelsea all over and some of the pictures from last night, one said last seen and emily's address, and another that had red marker with words that read drunk slut. i looked back at kelsea hoping she didn't see that, i don't think she did she was staring at the ceiling of the car.

shits gone bad so fast.

"i'll probably be doing online school at your house on lockdown, laur." she said to me i could sense the fear and melancholy in her words.

"we will figure it out okay kels? we love you we have your back. always" i said and smiled at her and she smiled a weak smile.
