"We have a problem" Luke said as he walked into his kitchen where Michael and Ashton were sitting.

"Oh some more, great!" Michael said sarcastically as he rested his head on the kitchen table.

"We have an interview by the end of next week" Luke said and gulped.

"..so Cal is gotta be there" Ashton whispered.

"Indeed he has to, shouldn't we call the police?" Michael said turning to Ashton.

"No" Ashton responded as he stood up from the kitchen chair. Luke gave him a confused look.

"I'm sure Cal went.." he stopped for a second as reality was hitting him. "Missing" Ashton said feeling his heart ache. He clenched his jaw before continuing. "And it has to do with that date he went on, doesn't have to be his date specifically..could be around the night with other people being involved"

"Sooo? Why no police" Michael asked.

Ashton came closer to Michael and whispered in his ear.

"Cause imma kill that bitch.."

The words repeated in Michael's head. Ashton's stern, intimidating and cold voice. That was the point were you shouldn't fuck with Ashton and his friends.

"Should we stop by his appartment? Since Y'know we're doing everything alone.." Luke said putting on his jacket.

"We don't have the keys Luke" Michael sighed.

"I do.." Ashton said and grabbing the keys from his pocket. He threw them on the table.

"Why do you have a key to his house?!" Michael asked examing the keys in his hands.

Ashton crossed his arms "because I don't want Calum to do stupid stuff" he said grabbing his keys back.

"Did he ever do something he regretted?" Michael asked.

"He d-"

"Can we go? We're wasting time" Luke said cutting Ashton off. He was getting more annoyed by the second.

"You're right, let's go" Michael said and stood up following Luke to the door with Ashton following along.

"Okay we're spliting up, If you see anything suspicous then tell me" Ashton said.

"I'll do the livingroom" Michael said and walked away.

"Luke which ro-" Ashton stopped as he glanced at Luke who was looking down and playing with his hands.

"Are you okay?" Ashton asked putting a hand on his shoulder.

Luke shook his head "everything is so real now and it's hitting me the most at this point" Luke said looking at Ashton with watery eyes.

"Like, w-what if..what if Calum's dea-"

"Stop!" Ashton said cutting Luke of harshly.

Ashton sighed while seeing the scared look on Luke's face.

"Don't overthink Luke, It'll get to you" Ashton said softly and embracing him in a hug.

Luke hugged back thightly. He was so so scared. He just wanted Calum back.

"We'll find him" Ashton said rubbing Luke's back. "We'll find him" he repeated. "Okay?" Ashton asked. Luke responded by nodding against his chest.

"Good" Ashton said as the pulled away from the hug. Luke quickly wipped his tears away before a small smile appeared.

"I'll do the kitchen and bathroom" Luke said. "Okay" Ashton said and smiled back at Luke before turning towards Calum's bathroom.

He stood in the middle of Calum's room. Everything was so silent, he didn't like it. Usually green day would be blasting softly trough the house, or the tv would be playing in the background.

Now this time he wasn't heard.

Ashton sighed before looking around the room. His room was always neat. His bed was made and his desk was clear. There wasn't anything laying on the ground.

Ashton looked trough his closet for some sort of clue. He then looked under Calum's bed, but nothing.

He looked trough the drawers of his nightstand. He then saw something laying under his pillow. He closed the drawer and sat down on his bed. He took off the pillow and grabbed Calum's notebook.

Should he read it? It still was Calum's notebook. If Ashton didn't read it, he probably would miss a clue. He opened the notebook and flipped trough the most recent page.

"And you'll move on. And fall in love with another brain, another soul. And I'll still be here, waiting"

(Picture on the top ;) and yes, he actually wrote this in rl too!!)

Ashton sighed, he shouldn't have looked. He knew this was about him. He knew he made a mistake for letting Calum go like that.

He closed the book and putted it back under the pillow.

He stood up from the bed and took one last glance at Calum's room before walking out and closing the door.

"Ashton! come here for a second!" Ashton heard Michael yell from the livingroom.

Ashton quickened his walk and went over to Michael who was standing on the balcony.

"What'd you find?" Ashton asked while stepping outside.

"Look around you" Michael said. Ashton did as told and looked around him. Still not seeing what Michael ment.

Ashton shrugged his shoulders "what?!" He said. Michael sighed "all his plants have died, which means that..or should i say determs that he didn't come home at all" Michael said.

"Michael..we already knew that" Ashton said sighing. "I know but it just makes the situation more clear" Michael responded.

"Let's see if Luke found anything"

•

He slightly opened his eyes and blinked a couple of times before seeing stuff clear. When he saw he was in Jesse's basement again he quickly moved up, but got pulled back down.

He then saw that he was chained to the bed. "No no no" Calum said and turned himself around. He began pulling at the chains. "C'mon!" Calum groaned and pressed his feet against the headboard. He began to pull even harder, but it didn't work.

"For once, just please let me be free" Calum whispered.

Calum sat down on the bed and sighed. He checked his surroundings.

He saw a hammer laying on the table two meters away from the bed. In order to grab the hammer, he had to move the bed, but it made a sound. So he had to wait for the right moment to arrive. He was scared Jesse would hear him move the bed.

Calum heard heavy footsteps coming down the basement. A dim light was being shown as well as Jesse's shadow.

Calum gulped and began pulling at the chains in horror. Jesse was a sick man. He didn't know how he got himself into a situation like this.

"Sweetheart!" Jesse said as his voice echoed trough the basement.

"I'm back" Jesse said and smiled as he walked over to Calum. "I got us some chinese food"

"Missed me?" Jesse asked sitting next to Calum on the bed. Calum immidiately scooted away. "Oh no no, don't be rude" Jesse said and pulled Calum towards him.

"I texted your friends today" Jesse chuckled and grabbed Calum's phone out of his pocket.

He showed the messages he had sent to Michael. "See" Jesse said and let Calum read the messages. "Mikey" Calum whispered and furrowed his eyebrows. Why would they buy that?

Calum shook his head "no, he wouldn't believe that!" He said. "Oh, but he does sweetheart...I was right" Jesse said. "They're forgetting about you, no one has send a message yet..or they have given you call" Jesse said and chuckled.

"They will.." Calum said.

"No they won't, stop lying to yourself Calum" Jesse said grabbing Calum's neck.

"You have me, that's all you need" Jesse said and stroked Calum's cheek. He cringed from the touch.

"I don't want you!" Calum yelled and pushed Jesse with his shoulder. He stumbeled back on the bed with an angry expression.

"Okay then, you wanna play it like that?!" Jesse  said and got up.

"I'll come back when you're cooled down, no food for you" Jesse said and grabbed the bag with food.

"You're fat anyways" Jesse said and walked his way up the stairs. That hurted Calum.

Calum bit his lip before sighing and letting his head drop down in defeat.
