Moving On From Long Nights

CHAPTER 8: 5 Bottles

I woke up at 8. "Saturday, sunny, maybe Lu would want to hang out."I thought.

I got up and grabbed my phone, I don't care if he's up yet, I'm calling him.

He turned off his phone. Never mind, call him later.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face, and brushed my hair formally for Lucas. (I know, he may not be free to hang out, but yeah, I'm gonna do it anyway.)

Then I started to think what should I wear, I started digging out clothes from my closet, then my mum came in.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

"Digging out clothes, obviously, mum."

"What makes YOU dig clothes out of your closet huh? I thought you only wear T-shirt plus plaid shirt plus jeans or T-shirt plus shorts."

"I also wear-"

"And yes, hoodie puls jeans."

"What should I wear today mum?"

"Your white little dress, you only wore it once since I bought it to you."

"Fine, I'm wearing it today."

"You didn't mention that you'll be going out with your girls today."

"Nah, not hanging out with them, and I haven't confirmed if I'll be out yet."

"Who are you going out with? A guy?"

"Just friends, mum. Just friends."

"It's really just friends or it's just you don't want to tell me."

"Mum..."

"If he's 'Just friends' you won't spend time picking outfit for him."

"Mum."

"You can talk to me, you know. I was once teenage before."

"Ugh, mum, enough, I won't tell you anything before, you know, I feel certain."

"Just saying."

"Thanks anyway, mum."

"Go down for breakfast after putting your clothes back to your closet."

"Okay."

Although my mum is a bit annoying, but I still love her so much, always support me. She's more like a friend, plus a mum.

It's afternoon already, Lucas' phone is still off, and I can't find him everywhere- Facebook, texting, phone calls...

He's not hiding from me right? Maybe something urgent just happened, so he doesn't have time to pick up his phone.

I found myself can't live for more than 10 hours without sticking with him.

I think I didn't get a chance to wear that dress today.

—

Sunday, Lucas' phone is still dead, he haven't been online since Friday night.

I wish nothing bad happened.

I started finding his friend, it's a bit awkward to ask them where Lucas is when I didn't realize they don't know we're dating, yet.

His friends said they don't know where he is.

Then someone called me.

"Kelly?" It's Teresa.

"Yeah? Lucas is missing..."

"I know, you told us that."

"Um..." I want to scream, where's Lucas???

"Blake saw Lucas and Sam outside the bar."
