Forgive Me- Part 2

Jaime's POV

"Still nothing?" Oli asked as he came to sit next to me. We had stopped for the night and had made a little bonfire between the buses. Everyone was currently sitting around chatting and having a drink but I was slightly away from the group, paying close attention to my phone. Oli had noticed the second we stopped that something was up. He's really good like that; and then the second he found out what he checks in to see if I've heard anything. I think he's starting to worry as well. He and Amelia really hit it off and whatever he said when he drove her to the venue that first night really made her warm up to him. It was good to see even if I did get a little jealous. But I know Oli is with Hanna and Milly wouldn't do that...

"Not a word" I answer

"I hope she's alright..." he sound worried/

"You and me both"

I had called Amelia several times over the past few days and I haven't heard back from her. For me that's a big deal. Milly is usually so good when it comes to calling back, she feels rude and will apologise if she even misses one call, but not even hearing anything from her? Yea I'm freaking out. Maybe she called Alex? Yea! They're like best friends, he always knows if something's up! Why the hell didn’t I think of that sooner?

I grab my phone quickly off the table ignoring Oli's look of confusion at my sudden hopeful aura and dial Alex's number.

"Jaime, what's up?" He asks.

"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." I said trying my hardest not to sound anxious but failing miserably.

"Nah man, I was actually waiting for her to call me back too." Not the answer I was looking for.

"Shit..."

"Want me to try again?"

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

He hung up and I was left in my thoughts. Alex doesn't know. Last time I hadn't heard from her she had broken her promise to me but at least she had called Alex at some point and I could get Becca to check on her. If something happened I have no one I can ask to see if she's alright. What if she took it too far this time? What if I never get to see her again? I was torn from my thoughts by my ring tone. I immediately answer.

"Did she answer?" I ask quickly.

"No, sorry" Alex sounded distraught.

"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."

It's true... She would kill me of she going out I had caused a whole heap of kids to miss out on our shows. She helps them her way and I help them my way. She would never forgive me for letting them down.

"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" she would freak out if I sent someone she didn’t know really well.

"So what then?" he asked.

"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" I said shocked

"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?" I asked hopefully.

"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" I will definitely pay him back. I don't think he realises how much this means.

"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"

He hangs up again and one again, I am left stuck in my mind but not for long.

"So what's happening?" Oli asked anxiously from beside me.

"Alex is flying out to check on her"

"Alex? From All Time Low?"

"Yea"

"Why him?"

"He and Milly are like best friends. Back in Oz he helped her during a panic attack and they've just been close since."

"Oh okay, fair enough"

"Yea, he's gonna call once he finds out what's happening"

"Cool, let me know alright?"

"Yea, of course"

He pats me on the back before heading off back to his bus. God I hope Milly's okay. I don't know what I'd do if she wasn't... I don't think I would be able to handle it. She’s easily the most important thing in my life.

***next day***

Alex had texted me yesterday to say that he was flying out today at 5:40 and that it was the earliest flight he could get. That means he should land at 10:50 at the latest so he should be at our house by 11:30. Right now I am just walking back and forth on the bus trying not to go crazy while I wait for him to call to say she's alright. The guys have been pretty cool about it. They know I’m freaking out so they don’t complain about how much I’m annoying them and I know that I am but right now there is no way in hell I could just sit around.

I glance at the clock. 11:40pm. He should be there by now. He has to be at the house by now. Even with rush hour traffic he should be there and right now the roads would be fairly quiet. He should be there. Why hasn’t he called? It's a five hour flight, he HAS to be there. Any minute now that phone is going to ring and he'll tell me she's fine.

I walk past Tony for the 50th time but this time I notice that his legs bouncing and he's tapping his fingers against the table while staring at my phone. I'm definitely not the only one worried. All of us; Tony, Mike, Vic, Alex and even Oli... We had all tried several times to get in contact with her but all failed miserably and now, in any moment now I'll get the news we've all been waiting to here. That she's perfectly fine, she lost her phone or has been stuck at work really late and when she gets home she didn't check the phone because she was tired. That's got to be it. She's fine; he has to be fine...

My phone rings and I practically dive on it. I basically knock the air out of my lungs in the process and can barely talk into it.

"Alex?" I asked still breathless

"Jaime?"

“Thank god, how is she?” my voice hopeful but the answer I receive is not the one I've been hoping for...

“You need to get back here. Like now…”
