Ohne Dich (Sequel to Stirb Nicht Vor Mir)

Chapter 50

July 2, 2002

He hadn't called me. It was already ten in the morning and he hadn't contacted me in any way. I was worried that he went somewhere to get drugs or something like that. I called Bam since maybe he would know where Ville was. 

"Hello?" Bam grumbled. 

"Um, Bam?" I asked. 

"Um, yes?"

"Is Ville with you?"

"Why?"

"I just want to make sure that he's somewhere safe."

"Yeah, he spent the night last night."

I sighed in relief. "Could I talk to him for a second?"

"Sure."

After a long silence, there was panicking and a yelp that came from Bam's end. 

"Bam?" I asked. 

"Yeah?"

"What's wrong?"

"V-V-Ville's not here."

"Wait, what?!"

"He's not here!"

"Jesus Christ," I stood up and paced back and forth. "Do you know where he could be? Did he tell you that he was going anywhere?"

"No. We just drank all yesterday and last night."

"That's fucking great," I looked down at Ashton. "Don't repeat that."

"Me?"

"No, Ashton. Bam, you go drive and try to find him. I'm going to drive around and see if I can find him."

"Okay, okay."

"Bam, are you sure you looked everywhere?"

"No."

"Go look around your house!"

"Okay."

"I'm going to look around. Bye."

I started crying as I hung up the phone. Ville was missing. No one knew where he was and to be honest, I didn't have a clue as to where the hell he was. 

I ran downstairs and put Ashton on the couch. 

"What's wrong?" My mom asked from the kitchen. 

"Ville's missing."

"He is?"

"Yeah. Bam and I are going to go look for him. Can you watch Ash?"

"Of course."

I ran into my car and quickly started driving. I didn't know where, but I started driving. I thought about where Ville liked to go and if we had any memories anywhere. Then, I gasped. I decided to go check the place where he proposed. 

My phone started ringing, so I answered it, hoping it would be Ville. 

"Adette?" Bam asked. 

"Yes?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm at a stoplight."

"Yeah, I'm behind you."

"How is that possible? I told you to look around-"

"I'm in a hotel, Adette."

"Right."

"Where are you going?"

"To the place he proposed to me."

"Adette, we're trying to look for him."
