Chapter Fourteen

Each step she took became heavier. Ainsley walked to class with nothing other than Meredith on her mind. She hadn’t heard from her since Friday when she’d left Meredith’s house, and even though she’d sent a few text messages and called, there was nothing. Fear had built up quickly over the weekend and only intensified on her walk.

She’d made it to the building and took a deep breath. Everything that had been light and fuzzy at the start of the weekend and disappeared completely. It wasn’t like Meredith to completely ignore her, and with what had happened, what was she to think? Ainsley licked her lips and climbed the stairs to the second floor, taking a left to go down the hallway toward her class. She was early but not any earlier than normal.

Adam had kept her company for most of the weekend, and once she’d recovered from her hangover on Sunday, he’d taken her to Denny’s for their breakfast. Ainsley managed to get through the rest of Sunday and Monday without talking to Adam about Meredith at all. It wasn’t that she didn’t want his friendship and advice on the matter, but every time she brought it up, he had a disproving glare about him. She had decided she preferred to avoid his look and keep her thoughts to herself rather quickly.

Ainsley stopped in front of the door. There was a note pasted onto it. She narrowed her eyes as she read it, her heart thumping wildly in her chest. Spinning around and biting her tongue, she about yelled in the middle of the hallway. Class had been canceled. Professor Frenz would not be available for office hours that day.

Her heart raced. She panicked. Meredith was gone, and the only reason that would happen would be because of Friday. The only reason. Ainsley jogged out of the building with her backpack securely around each shoulder. She ran to the library and pushed her way to the front of the line going in. Swiping her card, she ran up the three flights of stairs to the third floor and found Adam in his secret spot.

She tugged on his jacket and dragged him outside the front door of the library, leaving all his books and studies behind. She was hyperventilating when she reached the bench outside, and Adam had his hands on her shoulders calming her down as best he could.

“She’s gone,” Ainsley made out. “I don’t know what happened, but she’s gone.”

“Who’s gone?”

Ainsley rolled her eyes. “Meredith. There’s no class today. It’s canceled. Note on the door said no class, no office hours. Keep posted about Thursday.”

“She probably just had an emergency,” he said, trying to stand up and walk. “Those do happen all the time, you know.”

Ainsley tugged him back down. “She hasn’t talked to me since Friday.”

“Since kissy-kissy-smoochy-smoochy.”

“Stop it, Adam. I’m serious right now.”

“I’m sorry,” he said, looking down at his toes.

Ainsley sighed. “Maybe I am overreacting, but I just have a really bad feeling about this. She hasn’t answered any of my texts or calls.
