"Sergio, please don't hang up!" I cry as soon as he picks up. He huffs.
"I just answered to tell you to stop calling us. It's totally obnoxious," he grumbles, clearly not happy with me.
"Hear me out...," I start, but he automatically cuts me off.
"No, I'm not 'hearing you out' not again. That lead us right back to square one," Sergio snaps. My eyes widen as I sniffle.
"Is Mason around?" I ask softly. I know Sergio wouldn't take the phone to Michael for me to talk to him, but Mason would.
"Michael didn't tell you?" Sergio asks. I furrow my eyebrows.
"He didn't tell me what?" I question with a sniffle.
"Some moms threatened Michael that they were going to try to get Mason taken away from him if he didn't get Mason into a proper school system, saying the life Mason was living wasn't 'healthy.' Mason now lives in Cleveland with Dena," Sergio answers, and I gasp. I knew nothing of the sort.
"That's horrible," I gasp. Sergio bitterly laughs.
"You know what else is horrible? Cheating on your boyfriend with a PR," he spits. I coil back.
"He kissed me," I start to defend myself, but I'm cut off by another voice.
"You had one job! One job!" Brady starts going off at me before he gets cut off by a muffled voice. The phone is then put down, and I hear several steps of footsteps.
"How did this happen!?!" I hear Drew yell, and I can just imagine him tugging at the roots of his hair. The voices are still muffled, but Drew was loud enough. After three minutes of me waiting, and starting to cry again, the boys come back into the room with the phone
"Brynn, if Michael was to, I don't know, disappear, where do you think he'd go?" Chance tries to ask as calmly as possible.
"You guys lost Michael!?!" I scream, pulling at my hair. Great, just great.
"You have no place to talk here. I just asked a question," Chance uses his dad voice. Great, just great.
"Did he take anything with him?" I try to be calm. There is silence for a while before Chance talks again.
"His phone, his backpack, his wallet, and some clothes," Chance sighs in defeat.
"My guess is he went back to Cleveland," I murmur honestly. I hate that I caused this. I hear the bathroom door start to creak open. My breathing suddenly halts, and I stay as quiet as possible. As soon as the devil comes into my view, I hit him in the back of the knee to make him fall, which works. Cody falls to the ground, and I physically start kicking him. He puts his hands over his face.
"I. Fucking. Hate. You. With. A. Burning. Passion," I spit at him. He grabs onto my leg and attempts to pull me down. My knee gives out, and I collapse, my head hitting the wall. A sharp pain shoots through my body, and everything goes black.

Chance' POV
"My guess is he went back to Cleveland," Brynn murmurs. I honestly don't know whether to believe her or not. She seems to genuinely be upset, but once again, she might be acting. I can't trust her. Drew walks back into the room.
"Management knows where he is, but they won't tell us," he sighs. I roll my eyes. Those trolls. I hear a loud thud from the other side of the line before quickly putting the phone back up to my ear.
"Brynn?" I ask. Although I'm pissed at her at the moment, I still care.
"I. Fucking. Hate. You. With. A. Burning. Passion," I hear Brynn spit at someone. Suddenly, I hear a louder thud before an ear shattering scream fills through the line.
"Brynn?" I ask once again, more urgent this time. The other three boys look at me in confusion. There is a silence for a while before I hear a voice.
"Michael...," Cody starts off, infuriating me.
"I'm not Michael. You sent him into hiding," I spit angerly. "This is Chance speaking."
"Brynn hit her head. It's bleeding pretty bad, and she's passed out," he informs me. My eyes go incredibly wide.
"Get her to a hospital," I command him before looking up at Brady.
"Keep calling Michael and don't stop until you get to him. Brynn's going to the hospital."
