Till Loves End #Wattys2016

All parts are unedited. I will come back and edit them as I have time. Please keep in mind that I wrote this 50 page short story in 3 days so please excuse the errors. It flowed so seamlessly I just had to share it with everyone ASAP!!

Enjoy.

Jacklyn's POV

It's been a week since any of us have heard from Marissa. Normally we'd all be worried sick but with her dating Lucas, we knew she was more than likely attached at his hip. I was happy that she'd finally gotten happiness. She deserved it.

Group Text: Erica, Jacklyn, Fiona, Carrie....

Tom: Marissa is MIA. No one has heard from her in a week. Work called mom and dad looking for her. She hasn't returned since last Monday.

Erica: Has anyone called MP looking for her?

I swallowed hard. MP stood for Metro Police.

Tom: No one has found her body if that is what you're thinking. It was our first call.

Fiona: Has anyone called Lucas?

Tom: Don't have his number. He better have nothing to do with this.

He signed it off with an angry devil looking guy.

Carrie: I talked to her Tuesday. She said she wasn't feeling well when I asked her about our Wednesday plans.

Me: I haven't heard from her either. :/

This worries the shit out of me.

Me: One of us needs to contact Lucas.

Tom: Not it

Erica: Not it

Carrie: Not it

Fiona: Not me either.

Assholes. Assholes and cowards. Our friend was missing and no one other than me has the balls to call her boyfriend. The guy isn't even scary.

I called up the office where Marissa works and asked his secretary to patch me in. She claimed he was in a meeting but said he would call me back.

And so I waited.

Until five o'clock when the phone finally rang.

"It's about time." I hiss answering the phone.

"I am sorry?" He says in the most polite tone.

"I leave a message saying it's about Marissa and you wait four hours to call me back?"

"I apologize, I just was given the message. I was in meetings until five Jacklyn."

"Have you seen Marissa?" I hold my breath waiting for his answer. It feels like it takes forever.

"Marissa and I broke up." He says reluctantly.

"When?" I gasp trying to suck back the tears. If no one has heard from her all week something could have happened to her.

I quickly put him on speaker so I could quickly pull up the group text and tell everyone to get their asses over to Marissa's house. There was no saying what state she was in.

"On Monday, maybe Tuesday." He sighs.

"You don't know what day you guys broke up?" I yell at him.

"Marissa hasn't talked to me since...." He stops.
