February 9

It’s 4:30 a.m. My emotions are flitting between fear and anger—switching every five seconds. It’s not unlike Isaac to stay out all night, and it’s not like he always tells us where he is. But under these circumstances, he would call. I know he would call. Especially if he got delayed. He told Sienna he was heading home.

Surely, he would know that we’d worry.

But that’s the scary part. What if he can’t call?

Jake could have him right now.

Or he could simply be asleep in some girl’s bed. Like Sonny, Isaac is also a big fan of all-night shagging sessions with anyone who is up for it.

Please let that be the case. My brain argues with itself. Come on, Lylah. That’s not the case. The last note was addressed to Isaac. What if the killer made his move?

Detective Lina covers a yawn with the back of her hand. She is still trying to get a trace on Isaac’s phone after rushing here the moment Officer Grey called her to report Isaac missing. But so far, she finds nothing.

His phone battery could have died. Or someone could have taken out the battery.

The back and forth in my head is driving me insane. I just want to hear from him. But it won’t happen. Isaac is gone. I can feel it.

Charlotte and Sienna are half asleep on one sofa, and Chace and I are wide awake on another. No one wants to go to bed because we’re scared of what news we might learn if we wake up. So we wait. And wait.

We wait either for Isaac to walk through the door or to find his body somewhere.

I’ve drunk my body weight in coffee since we started calling him at midnight. I’m awake and alert, but I also have to pee every five minutes.

Riley called around ten to check in again. I had to lie to him so he wouldn’t come. Another missing person would make him react for sure.

“Try Isaac’s phone again,” I tell Chace. If anyone has a chance at him answering while he’s with a girl, it’s Chace.

He gives me brief smile and taps his phone. He’s only calling to keep me happy. He doesn’t think Isaac will answer any more than I do. I can’t shake the feeling inside that I know Isaac is gone. Have I given up on finding him?

It’s a horrible thought, which leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. How can I give up on my friend? But what’s the use in pretending?

Out of everyone here, Isaac is probably Chace’s closest friend. Chace wouldn’t really give up on him without proof, would he? Maybe it’s not about giving up, but accepting reality. We’ve lost Sonny and Nora. Jake is more than capable of killing Isaac too.

I stare at Chace’s phone with baited breath. Come on, Isaac. Pick up.

Chace lets it go through to voicemail before hanging up. “He’s been back later than this before,” he says, putting on a positive front.

“That’s true. Some days we’re getting ready for class when he strolls in,” I reply.
