Adam's POV

I woke up once again. I had the biggest hangover ever. My head was throbbing and I felt like shit. I got ready quickly and ate breakfast. I took a few painkillers to help and I waited for the police officer to escort me to school. I missed going to school in my own car with Nicole. More so, I missed Nicole.

Knock knock

That must be the policeman. I grabbed my bag and left the house. I sat in the police car and he drove me to school. Everyone had gotten used to the idea of me coming to school in a police car so no one really looked.

"I'll pick you up at 3:15," he said.

"Right," I said.

He drove off and I entered the school. Not much people knew that Nicole was missing because the police said the less people knowing, the easier it'd be to find her. I reckon that's bullshit. The only people that knew she was gone was Selena, Jason and Chloe.

I walked to the classroom that no one used. I found it when I bunked lesson a few days ago. I unpicked the lock and went inside the dark room. I sat on the chair and rested my feet on the desk. I pulled out a cigarette and lit it up with the small lighter I had in my pocket.

I smoked the cigarette and waited there till the end of the day. The less people I see, the better. I was avoiding everyone. I hated everyone really. They were all idiots who cared about themselves. Nicole was the only person who actually cared for other people and she used to get bullied for that. How cruel is society?

The bell rang and it was the end of the day. I stepped out the classroom and walked outside. I saw the policeman looking around, he was looking for me. He caught sight of me and gestured for me to come. I sighed and walked towards his car and sat in.

"You okay?" He asked, driving home.

"Yep, fine,"'I said.

"We are trying our best to find her," he said, pulling up outside my house.

"You should try a bit harder," I said, slamming the car door shut and walking to the front door.

No one was home yet. I went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of Vodka. I sat on the sofa and drank it all. I drank it all down in one go. I lay down on the sofa, clutching onto the empty bottle and fell asleep.

***

I awoke to someone shaking me. I looked up to seeing Claire. Her eyes were full of pity when she saw me. I sat up and she sat next to me. She took the Vodka bottle that was still in my hands off me and put it on the table.

"You need to be strong, Adam," she said.

"I miss her," I said. She hugged onto me.

"I know but drinking won't help you," she said.

She left me a cup of tea on the table and she chucked the empty Vodka bottle away. She left the room and made me some noodles. She gave it me and I ate it all. I told her I was going to bed and I left the room. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of some sort of alcohol that was at the back of the cupboard because there was no Vodka left. I went to bed and drank it all.

I miss Nicole so much.

She was lonely. She was unhappy. She was never going to be happy. She would never be the same. For she was the same girl. She was the girl that was slowly dying...
