Let Me Go [Sequel to Lost, Hopeless, and Destroyed]

Chapter 40

*A/N*

Sorry for the short chapter! :(

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Autumn's POV*

The past week has been horrible and lonely without Zach here.

I need to see him. I have to settle this once and for all.

I guess Zach told his dad, Louis, to not tell me where exactly Zach is.

But I begged Louis. And he knows how much I love his son. So he ended up telling me.

"I knew I shouldn't have let him go on his own!" Louis sighed.

"Don't worry Mr. Tomlinson. I'll find him." I told him. I thanked him and was about to leave.

"Oh, and um- Louis?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry about you and El."

He gave me a warm smile. "It's alright love, these things happen. Now go! You two belong together."

"Thanks." I smiled and left.

----

I told my mum and dad. But they wouldn't let me go alone. 'No way in hell' they said.

So I described the situation to Emily and she agreed to come with me to L.A.

She is gonna take a week or so off of work and fly out there with me.

I got the address and all the details of where Zach is staying.

I just hope everything turns out okay and he is still in love with me..

I can only hope.

----

The next day me and Emily catch a flight to Los Angeles, California.

Then, after what feels like forever, we finally land in L.A.

This place is so beautiful I have to admit. This is my first time being in America. It's great so far.

Well, the view that is.

Emily took out some money from her college fund to help pay for everything while we are here. She knows how important this is to me.

She is such a good friend. I'm so thankful she isn't the person I once thought she was.

We catch a cab and go to the address I have written down.

I'm so nervous I'm shaking.

My heart is racing.

My palms are sweating.

I just need this to work out, for once in my life.

Nothing barely ever works out all the way for me.

I just want this one thing to work.

I just want to be happy with the love of my life.

Forever.

----

We finally pulled up to some buildings. I guess this is the place.

Emily pays the Taxi driver and we get out of the car.

I'm nervous as hell. 

What if he doesn't love me anymore.

What if he realizes he can do better?

I guess there's only one way to find out.

"Auts." Emily breaks me out of my trance. "Let's go!"

I nod and we go up to his room number. Let's just hope Louis gave us the right one.

We walk up some stairs and I get a little dizzy for a second. Woah.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten to eat today...

Oh well. It's not my main conern right now.

We get to the door and I take a deep breathe. I do admit, I am terrified, but I have to do this.

I can barely move, but I force myself too. I look at Em and she gives me a nod. 

I knock on the door. I wait patiently, my heart racing.

I wait, and then decide to knock louder.

I wait and still nothing. I look over to Emily. She just shrugs.

Hmm...

I look over into the mailbox and find some junk mail.

Zachery Tomlinson

It says on the mail.

This is his place.

Is he gone? If so, where?

Or is he sleeping?

Or maybe he just doesn't want to answer the door?

Can't be. He always answer's the door. Always. He even wakes up just from the knock.

But then I hear things coming from inside.

Like objects being moved and rustling around.

Why isn't he answering the door?

I'm about to call out his name until I hear Emily do it for me.

I can barely find my voice after all.

"Zach!!" Emily yells. "Open up! We know you're in there."

Maybe he will recognize her voice and realize it's us and open it up.

I sincerely hope so.

We wait another couple 10 seconds then suddenly,

We heard a faint click

I had no clue what it was. 

But I wanted to know why he is being so god damn stubborn.

"I have an idea." Emily whispers. She pulls out a plastic card from her purse.

"We'll use my debit card." She states.

"But how-"

"Just watch and learn." She smirks.

I step aside and let her get to work.

She wiggles the card around inbetween the door and wall, trying to unlock it.

After about a minute we hear a click.

We got it.

I smile. "Where did you learn to do that?" I gasp.

"My mum." She says and shrugs.

"Well at least that bitch taught you one good thing." I say.

"No shit," She laughs. "Okay, this is it girl." She says, opening the door slowly.

We walk in slowly to a small empty living room. The pad is small so there is not much.

We walk in slowly at first, trying to see where we exactly are in the apartment.

Then we see a small hallway, and a single room at the end.

We look at each other and walk fast towards it, then slow down when we're almost right infront of the closed door.

I take a deep breathe quickly and don't even plan on knocking.

I put my hand on the door knob and quickly turn it and push the door open. Emily following right behind.

"Zach?!-"

I freeze.

I see Zach turn around and face me, tears streaming down his face.

He was holding a gun....

to his head.
