Always and Forever

Chapter 15

*Jake’s POV*

It’s been a few days and we still got nothing. Not even a trace of who it can be. I am tired of this already. Whoever that is, he can hide pretty good. But I vowed I would find him, I won’t give up now.

Right now It’s 2 a.m and Ella fell asleep on the couch. I was about to get up and take her to the bedroom for her to sleep properly when her phone rang and she woke up. Who in the world is calling this late? She needed to rest.

She took her phone and answered it.

-         Hey Tyson. How are you?

Why is he calling this late?

-         Oh, I’m sorry. Did I wake you up?

No you stupid, she was dancing at 2 a.m.

-         It’s ok Tyson. Did something happen?

-         No, I just missed you and wanted to talk to you.

-         That’s alright. How are you?

-         I’m fine. I just finished my work and I’m a little tired. How are you and that boyfriend of yours?

-         He... – she looked at me- um… we… broke up.

I hate when she says that. 

-         Really?

I could hear joy in his voice.

-         Yeah..

-         What was the reason?

-         He… cheated on me.

-         What?? Ella, I’m so sorry to hear that.

-         It’s okay I guess. It’s been a few days already.

They talked for a few more minutes. how much I wanted to just take the phone and end that call. And I did just that. before she could even realize what was going on, her phone was already turned off and on the table.

-         Jake, why did you do that?

-         I am going to make him a ball and throw him in the basket, if he calls you anymore at this time and I’m not even joking.

She was trying so hard not to laugh. I don’t even know where that came from.

-         It’s time for you to sleep, your highness.

-         But what about the kidnapper?

-         I’m going to work on finding him and you have to sleep Ella.

-         But I want to help you!

I didn’t wait for her answer. I picked her up and carried her towards her bedroom.

-         I can walk, you know.

-         I know.

I laid her on the bed and put a duvet on her. she smiled.

-         Goodnight, love. – I kissed her forehead.

-         Goodnight, Bluey.

I turned off the lights and went downstairs. When Ella told that lizard, Tyson, that we broke up, he was so happy, I can’t wait to see disappointment in his eyes when he finds out we’re still together. Because of that I need to find that kidnapper as soon as possible. I opened my laptop and started working.

……

It was morning already. I looked at the clock and it showed 8 a.m. I worked all night but no trace of the kidnapper once again. I’m starting to think he's a ghost or something, but even if I have to dig him out of the grave, I will find him, no matter what.
