Chapter 19

I spotted Zoe in the lobby along with Callie and Alex.

“Where do you think she could be?” I frowned.

“Clearly she doesn’t want to be found.” Alex frowned. “Maybe we should give her some space.”

“No way.” I shook my head. “My bet is she went off somewhere and fell asleep. She probably doesn’t even know it’s morning. We have to find her before AJ finds out she’s missing. How do you think he will feel if he knows Blu took off?”

“Awful.” Callie sighed. “So where do we start?”

“Well, I’ve texted everyone to see if she’s in one of their rooms and no one has seen her. Samantha and Dawn are going to try to join us soon, but they have the girls to get breakfast for before their hair appointments. And Noella is busy with the boys too.”

“Yes, I’ll bet she is.” I closed my eyes and tried to imagine being in Blu’s shoes. Where would she go? “Maybe she just went out for a walk on the beach?”

“The rain is just stopping, I doubt that she’d be out there.” Zoe peered through the large glass doors at the front of the hotel. “It’s possible, but she’d be soaking wet.”

“If she was on the beach, she’ll be coming back soon. Hanna, why don’t you wait here to see if she comes in through the lobby?” Alex met my eyes. “Find a comfortable spot.”

“No way, I want to look for her.” I frowned.

“What if she comes in and no one knows it and then she’s looking for us?” Alex pointed to a soft chair not far from the entrance. “Just sit down and relax.”

“Alex, I’m pregnant, not broken.” I narrowed my eyes. “Blu is my best friend, I’m not going to let this happen—”

“Which means you’ll be the most likely one that she’ll contact—all the more reason to be here and available. Plus Samantha, Dawn, and Noella are going to need updates.”

As I looked from friend to friend I realized that they might think I would slow them down. As much as I wanted to protest, I thought that they were probably right. With my need for frequent bathroom breaks and the pain in my back, the last thing I wanted was to be trapped in the car.

“Someone should check at the bar.” I sighed as I slumped down in the chair. “Maybe she slept there for some reason.” An awful thought ran through my mind. What if she’d gone back and met up with the man at the bar? Surely the bartender would have intervened. But what if he hadn’t?

After my friends left, I sent Blu another text. There was still no response. Of course if she was sleeping, there wouldn’t be.

If she was going to take off, she would have told me, wouldn’t she? Was there some reason she wouldn’t feel comfortable confiding in me? The thought made me sick to my stomach. Had I been too focused on my discomfort to recognize that she had real doubts?

“Oh, Blu, wherever you are, I hope you know that whatever you decide we will all support you.
