Seymore urged me to stay at home .
" I can not just be here when we don't know where she actually went !," I tried to reason with him ," What if there is some crazy fans or some really bad people ."
" Autumn ...," Seymore's voice was way too calm for the situation," Look....stirring up more chaos will already be more troublesome. I have already sent Summer and Rain to their homes , so if you could just stay quiet for today , it will be wonderful. I understand that you are very worried but I promise you nothing bad is going to happen to Winter ."
I took in a deep breath ," Okay ."
" I will come over in the evening with news , so get some rest for now ," Seymore said ,"I have already written an apology letter for your stream for the dating scandal. Why don't you go through it ?"
" Okay ," I gave him a silent agreement.
" Thank you Autumn , let's meet later."
At times like this , I hated how I never learnt to drive a car . I could not even use public transportation without coming up on the newspaper the next day .
As soon as he cut off the phone . I dialed another number . There was only another person who would listen to whatever I say without asking much questions.
Jasper picked up after three rings . His voice was sleepy even though it was already 9 in the morning.
" For the love of God , sis , let your brother rest ," he groaned.
"If you do not want me to tear your hair , you better get up and come to the address I am sending to your phone ," I said , as I shared my location.
" Damn , " he said after a while ," It's four hours away."
" Come in three hours, I don't have all day ."
I cut off the phone . I knew that I had been not very nice to him , since he got back . But since childhood I had endured enough of his tantrum , he could survive mine for oneday.
There was a knock on the door . I ignored it and called Summer .
She was a sobbing mess .
" I did not realise how hard it was for her ...and now she is missing ."
" Do you think that she ran away ?"
" Why would she ? She could have talked about anything with me !"
I realised that the more I was talking with her , the more overwhelmed she felt .
This was going to be very difficult so I consoled her for sometimes and then called Rain.
" Spill ," I demanded .
" What ,I don't know anything," She sounded panicked but not like Oh-my-God-my-friend-is-missing panick ,it was almost like a thief got caught after stealing something away .
" Rain ...I am not mad ," I told her slowly," I just want to talk to Winter , I am very worried about her ."
Rain took a second ," Why ? Do you think that I am hiding her or something?"
" I never said that ," I told her ," I just want to know if you know the reason she might have been too upset or something ."
".....I don't want to talk about this ," she hesitated for a second ," Fuck , our manager is going to kill me if he knows about it ."
" It is going to be bad either way ," I said," Atleast I won't snitch on you ."
She considered my words again and then said in a whispher ," You know ...her boyfriend, Reynolds ? He lives at Austrin , he got here yesterday by plane . I don't know what they talked about but he brought a ring ."
I wanted to slam my head against the wall .
" Wha-what were you doing when he came with a ring ?," I asked as calmly as I could manage ," What about Seymore and the security."
" He came disguised as a food delivery guy ."
" AND YOU DID NOT CALL THE POLICE ?," I could no longer keep my patience.
" What will I say to the police ?What if her dating news spread ? It is already bad with you being in the paper with a guy !"
The door to my room slowly creaked open. I looked up , annoyed . It was Liam Anderson, he leaned on the door frame with his hands folded over his chest .
A part of me wanted to shout at him to get out but I knew it would be best to give him silent treatment.
" Rain , give me his address ," I ordered her .
I was not going to take a ' no' on this matter .
" Oh common , he left that day , Winter was not even at home , so he just talked with her for a bit on my phone -"
I cut off the call . The more I listened to her , the more I wanted to choke her to death .
Rain was the second youngest in the group and the one who was most airheaded.
I threw my phone on the bed .
" Your friend is in Austrin ," Liam told me," I have sent someone to track her boyfriend, they should be there by now ."
I treated him like a hallucination and went to the washroom to get ready .
When I came back Liam was gone and Rain had messaged me an address .
I got down to the ground floor , only after receiving a message from Jasper , saying he was near .
At the dining hall , Liam was sitting on the sofa with a bown of fruit salad and cereals on his lap .
" You need breakfast," he called out ," Are you going somewhere ?"
I ignored him and went to find my shoes .
I was wearing overcoat and scarf over my dress . Heavy woolen clothing was not on my bucketlist of things to wear during summer time .
But I could not take a risk .
" I asked where you are going ," Liam had followed me to the door ," Wait for a minute , we will take my car then ."
