I walked upstairs and emptied all my school stuff onto the floor. I started packing some clothes and a change of shoes. Last time I left ended up coming him with no shoes. I opened my shoe box from under my bed took out a picture of my mum.
I placed it on my nightstand and took out the necklace my mum brought me on my 5th birthday. She brought it too big so when I get older I could wear it. I put it on and closed the shoebox and slid it under my bed.
I checked the time and it was 11:57. Almost time to go. I opened my money drawer and put a quarter of a thousand dollars in my wallet. I put my wallet and my bag with my house keys. I left my phone on my nightstand next to the picture of mum.
I wish mum was still here until some bastard shot her. I stepped over a sleeping Champ that was laying in front of the bathroom door. I brushed my teeth and hair. I changed into a hoodie, some jeans and my Adidas. I walked downstairs and tiptoed past Stew who I guess rolled off the couch onto the floor.
I opened the front door and closed it behind me. I walked down the steps because at night the elevator is very loud because it's quiet. I got outside the building and put my hood on. I got into my car and drove away. Time to start my drunk or better high birthday adventure.
Ashton's POV
( A few hours later )
I woke up on the floor with her dog Champ standing over me.
"Move", I said pushed him away.
Today is Alex's birthday I should go say happy birthday. I got up from the floor and ran upstairs to see Alex's bed untouched. Then I saw a picture of a lady and a little girl on Alex's nightstand. See looked exactly like Alex but she had blue eyes and the little girl was Alex she was holding a raggedy teddy bear and smiling. I picked up the frame and on the back it said,
' To my love,
Alex always live as if die you'll tommorrow but never stop living for what you love,
Never give up on life, never give up on being my little chef, and never give on anything
I'll never stop loving you. You'll always have half of my heart
-Mum'
Where is her mum? Alex wanted to be a chef? What does her mom mean by Never stop living for what you love? Where is Alex? Is this why she her tattoo says that? I have way too many questions to ask Alex when I find her. Then I noticed something her phone is here she left it. I looked at the floor and all her school books and stuff was all over the floor. Her money drawer was opened and so was her closet. I guess I'll call her brother. I ran back downstairs and picked up my phone off the floor. I dialed Mason's number.
"What the fuck do you want", Mason said
Such a nice way to say hello.
"Alex is gone"
"I know", Mason said
"You do"
"She does this every year on her birthday. This is how she handles her feelings", Mason said
"What do you mean her feelings"
"Her feelings over the deaf of our mother", Mason said
"She passed"
"Yeah when Alex was 6 and mum died right in front of her with a bullet to the head", Mason said
That's harsh.
"Oh"
"She'll be back tomorrow drunk or either high or better both", Mason said
"You don't celebrate her birthday"
"No, we don't how can we celebrate if she always fucking gone doing who knows what", Mason said
"Aren't you going to look for her"
"No why should I", Mason said
"You're her sister"
"It doesn't matter nobody can get in contact with Alex on her fucking birthday. She leaves her phone so we won't track her down and brings cash with her so we don't track down her credit card records. So we just let her do whatever she's 19 now for fucking sake. What she does is her problem now she's on her own if she wants to go out on her birthday and drink evry single bottle of alcohol in the world it's on he", Mason said and hung up.
Well damn. I'll find her and the first place I'll look is a bar.
Alex's POV
I parked outside a bar that was the farthest away from anybody I know. I stepped outside my car and put the keys in my bag. I walked up to the bar and stood outside the door. I looked up at the sign and I hope this time I don't end up in an alley. I walked in. The first thing I smelt when I walked in was smoke and alcohol. Now this is my kind of place. I walked up to the bar and sat down at the counter.
"Hey can I get a drink"
"Comin", a man yelled and came over here.
He stopped right in front of me.
"Are you 21 or over", the man said
"Are you 40 or over"
"Good point what can I get ya", the man said
"Scotch on rocks"
"First lisences", the man said
"Uh here", I said and took out my wallet.
I showed him my picture and he grunted.
"Lucky British girl", the man said and I put my wallet away.
"Thanks", I said and took the drink from him.
I downed the drink and slid the glass over to him.
"Hit me"
He poured me some more and I downed it in one gulp.
"Just get me a bottle of vodka"
"Strong stomach huh", the man said
"Got that right"
He handed me the bottle and I took a swing of it.
"How much for another"
"25 all together", the man said
I sat the bottle down and took out my wallet. I took out 40 dollars and placed it on the counter.
"Got any Tequila"
"Uhh yes', the man said
"Give me one of those two and keep the change"
He placed them on the counter and I opened my bag and put the tequila and vodka in my bag. I stood and put my bag on my back. I picked up my bottle of vodka and took another swing.
"What time is it"
"Around 9 why", the man said
"No reason"
I took another swing and I walked out the bar and got into my car. I started it up and drove off. This is going to be one hell of a day.
Ashton's POV
I was walking down the street looking in every bar around her place but she wasn't there at any of them. Then I saw a car that looked exactly like Alex's zoom down the street. The music playing in the car Key to the Streets and the person driving was wearing a hoodie and drinkin from a bottle with clear lipuid in it. That must be Alex I call Mason back.
"Now what the hell do you want", Mason said
I guess he always answers the phone like this.
"I think I found Alex"
"Congratulations", Mason said dryly
"You're not happy"
"I don't care and only 2 people actually care about her doing this and it's Harry and Alexander. Call them Alexander's number is 213-458-5162 and leave me the fuck alone", Mason said and hung up.
I guess I'll call this Alexander or Harry. I dailed the number Mason told me while I was walking back to my car.
"Hello this is Mr. Frost and who are you", Alexander said
"Stew I mean Ashton. Alex, she's gone"
She got me saying Stew now.
"You're that boyfriend of her's", Alexander said
"We aren't dating"
"Oh okay", Alexander said
"I think I saw Alex", I said trying to change the subject.
"Where", Alexander said
"Speeding down the street drinking a clear liquid"
"Shit she's drinking", Alexander muttered
"Sorry excuse my language", Alexander said
"It's alright"
He must not be a cusser or either he's a gentleman something I'm not.
"Thanks for the update. You brought a car with you", Alexander said
"Yeah I'm walking down the street right now"
"You parked it in a public spot", Alexander said
"Yeah why"
"We're coming to pick you up", Alexander said and hung up.
Well, I guess everybody is rude today.
Alex's POV
( Some hours later )
I am walking down the street and my car is god knows where. I drank all over my alcohol and now I'm looking for a bar. Found one! My vision is kind of blurry from all the drinks. I lost count after 5 bars I walked into today. It's sort of around nighttime now and I lost track of time after I passed out in this store. I walked into the bar and sat down.
"Hey can I get a drink"
"Sure baby girl", a man said
He looked like he was in his 20s or in his early 30s.
"Bottle of vodka"
"Let me guess British", the man said
"Yeah you got it"
"Your eyes are kind of red and puffy you've been crying huh", the man said taking a seat in front of me.
"Yeah I guess", I slurred
"Already drunk I see, you driving", the man said
"No, I'm walking lost my car awhile back"
"Hey little girl you're in my seat", someone said and tapped my shoulder.
I tensed up and turned around and punched the person straight in the face. The person was a man and he looked very angry.
"You little slut", the man said
"You oversized fucking man whore"
He swung at me and I dodged it. I grabbed the back of his neck when he tried to punch me. I slammed his head over and over on the bar counter. His head started to bleed so I had let him go. He dropped to the floor and I turned back towards the counter and looked at the man. I took the bottle out of his hand and took out my wallet. I put 20 dollars on the counter and stood up.
"Keep the change", I said and took a swing of my drink.
I sort of stumbled out the door and walked down the street drinking my vodka. Then out of nowhere someone came and punched my left cheek. I felt my face and I know there's a bruise forming. I took the last gulp of my drink and bashed the bottle on the person's head.
"Ow! Shit", the person said
It sounds like a man in his early 40s.
"What the hell", I said and spit the blood from in my mouth into the ground.
I was fairly dark out but hey that won't stop me. The person stood up and tried to roundhouse kick me. I caught their foot and twisted it and he fell to the floor. I jumped on top of him and punched him straight in the stomach. The man threw up on me.
"Eww"
I punched him in the face this time and got throw up all over my hands. Then he headbutted me. I gasped and he shoved a pill down my throat. My eyes started to feel heavy. I continued to punch him until he became unconscious. Then I felt sleepy I fell forward onto his bloody face.
Ashton's POV
Alexander, Sam, his younger brother Logan, Harry and I finally got a solid location on Alex. On the news, yeah the news. The news said a young girl came into a bar and brutally killed man because he said, 'Hey little girl you're in my seat.' That sounds like Alex. We drove down there and Alex wasn't there. I was walking down the street and saw a girl passed on top of a man that had a few pieces of glass in his head.
