Forgive Me- Part 2

Alex's POV

I came home from being out to lunch with Lisa and decided that I should call back Amelia. I rang her number but it rang out. Knowing Amelia she probably just missed it again, she actually does that quite a bit. I decide to give it a while and about an hour later I call back but once again it rings out. Okay that's odd. Oh well, she's probably just not paying attention to her phone. She’s hopeless like that. She'll call back later when she checks her phone to see if Jaime called; she always does.

***One week later***

Okay now I'm getting a little worried. It's been a week, why hasn't Milly called? She always calls back and she knew I was going to call her. I called her several times throughout the week and still nothing. Honestly I’m starting to freak out a bit. God I feel like an over protective boyfriend.

Speaking of...

"Jaime, what's up?" I ask into my phone.

"Not a lot, just wondering if you've heard from Milly? Whenever I called it rang through and now it just goes straight to voice mail." He sounded really worried.

"Nah man, I was actually waiting for her to call me back too."

"Shit..."

"Want me to try again?"

"Yea man that would be awesome... Let me know what happens"

I hang up and call Milly's mobile, just like Jaime’s, my call went straight to voice mail. What the hell? I decide to try the house phone but once again, no answer. Why isn't she picking up? This really isn't like Milly. I call Jaime back straight away and he picks up on the first ring. I feel as though he was probably just sitting there staring at his phone waiting for me to call. God, if I'm freaking out this bad I can only imagine how he's feeling. He’s probably on the verge of a mental break down

"Did she answer?" He rushed the second he answered.

"No, sorry"

"Something's got to be wrong. I need to go home…"

"Dude you're on tour! You know she'd kill you if you left tour for her."

"But if something's wrong I have to!"

"Call someone to go check up on her. You did that when she was in Australia right?"

"Yea but before I had her friend Becca. Now I don't have anyone to call... Not who Amelia knows well enough anyway"

"So what then?"

"I have no idea... But something has to be wrong. Last time this happened she did something, but at least then she called you"
"But now she won't answer either of us..."

"Exactly! Something's got to be wrong."

"How about I fly out?"

"Nah man I can't let you do that"

"No seriously, we aren't touring and a have a break for a while, I'm sure Lisa will understand. Plus I'm kind of freaking out myself."

"Would you do that?"

"Yea, I’d do anything for Mil"

"Thanks Alex, that means a lot. Let me know how much it costs, I'll pay you back"

"Nah it's okay. It will be good to see her anyway"

"Okay… but if you change your mind let me know. Thanks again Alex"

"Don't mention it. I'll catch a plane out once I've talked to Lisa and found a flight. I'll call you again when I know what's going on"

"Sounds good"

"See you"

"Bye"

I hang up and head out to the living room to find Lisa. She’s not going to like this. I didn’t get home from tour that long ago and when I did get home I had to do a lot of work in the studio. She’s not going to like that I’m leaving again.

"Lisa?" I ask her when I get into the room.

"Oh god, you have another tour don't you? That's you're I have bad news voice" she said after immediately dropping her book in her lap.

"No, not a tour. But you know my friend Amelia I've talked about?"

"The one who's dating Jaime?"

"Yea"

"What about her?" Lisa looked for than a little confused.

"No one can get a hold of her, and Jaime and the rest of the guys are on tour an-"

"And they want you to go check on her" she interrupted

"Basically"

"Why you? Isn't there someone closer?"

"Not that Amelia knows or trusts, and I may have volunteered..."

"You volunteered? Why?"

"Because I'm worried about her too... She gets really bad panic attacks, sometimes to the point if not breathing and if she had one when no one was around then anything could happen. She could have passed out somewhere in her house and no one’s found her or-" I myself was beginning to get very anxious and my breathing was increasing.

"Alex? Alex hey! It's okay, I understand" she said trying to calm me down "if it's that bad and everyone's worried than it's okay. I understand. When are you going?"

"As soon as I can. I need to pack a bag and find a flight though."

"Okay, well you go look for a flight and I'll pack a bag for you. How long do you think you'll be gone?"

"I'm not sure. A few days maybe?"

"Okay, I'll do that. Go" she pointed to the laptop on the table and I logged on and looked for a flight. The soonest available flight was tomorrow at 5:40 and would cost about $380. Without caring about the cost I immediately book it and enter my card details. Once everything's sorted I go to the bed room to find Lisa rummaging through the cupboards and pulling out random items of clothing.

"Lis, I'm not going for a month. I don't think I need that much" I laugh lightly. She looks down at the suitcase she'd been throwing clothes into and sighed.

"Sorry, I'm used to helping with packing for tour. When's your flight?" She asked as she sorted through the clothes and put away some of the unnecessary items.

"Tomorrow at 5:40"

"So you should be there at quarter past at the latest"

"Yea"

"I really need to meet this Amelia chick. Especially if she can make you fly half way across the states for her just because she didn't answer her phone" Lisa grumbled

"Are you jealous?" I chucked

"Maybe a little" I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her.

"You don't need to be, Milly's with Jaime and they're amazing together. It's just that Milly doesn't just not call people back. Especially now when Jaime's away. She knows he worries so she always calls back straight away but it's been a week since I first called her and apparently Jaime hasn’t heard back from her in a while either."

"I hope she's alright"

"Yea me too..."

I don't think there is anything I would hate more than getting there and finding out something had happened to her; and then having to tell Jaime... It would be horrible.

God I hope she's okay. Not just for my sake. Jaime would be destroyed if something happened to her…
