Just so you all know, I will be updating my other stories (Klaine A-Z, and this one!) very soon, hopefully in the next few days. Yay for updates!
I hope you all liked the first chapter, and I hope you enjoy this one too.
I don't own Glee, blah blah blah. Sob...
The choir room was shocked into silence as Jeff spoke.
"We had a stupid fight, and he left. I tried to apologise, I did, honestly. And now I don't know where he is and he's been gone for a whole day and oh god, I can't lose him, he's my best friend. We have to find him, I have to- I have to..." Jeff trailed off, his tears choking him.
"You have to what, Jeff?" Blaine asked softly, still in his kneeling position.
"I have to tell him that I love him", Jeff whispered, so quietly that Blaine barely even heard it.
Blaine nodded in understanding, he knew it would only be a matter of time before Jeff realised his feelings for Nick. Standing up slowly, he walked over to Wes, bending down to whisper in his ear. The words went unheard, but when Blaine had finished speaking, Wes' face turned stony, his eyes becoming blank.
"This meeting is over. Can Kurt, Blaine, David and Jeff stay. We have some things to discuss", the asian boy spoke monotonely, his lips drawn in a tight line.
Blaine watched as the other boys filed out, muttering amongst themselves. Jeff was still shaking slighty, but Kurt had moved over to him and was now rubbing his back, whispering softly into his ear.
"Jeff", Wes spoke, his council member persona melting away, turning into caring friend, "We need to know exactly what happened last night. That way we can call the police and send a search party out. Have you looked for him yourself?"
Jeff looked up, nodding slighty. Sniffing, he said, "I skipped school today. I checked his parent's house, his grandparent's house. Any other relative's houses I could think of. I asked everyone if they'd seen him and no one has".
Wes nodded. Sighing loudly, he began to speak.
"David, call the police. Let them know we have a missing friend, tell them everything that Jeff just told us. Kurt, Blaine, take Jeff back to his dorm room. Hopefully the police will be here soon".
"What are you going to do?" Kurt spoke softly, guiding his blonde friend to the wooden double doors.
"I'm going to look everywhere I can think of, call everyone and ask if they know anything", Wes looked up, seeing the tears running down Jeff's face, "We'll find him, Jeff. I promise".
After speaking to the police, David made his way to the main entrance of the school. There he found the Headmaster and several other of Nick's teachers. The flashing lights on the road in front of the school indicated that the police had responded quickly. Stepping out of a car came two police officers.
"Good evening", a brunette greeted.
"We have a report of a missing kid?" A slight taller man asked.
"Yes, one of our students went missing yesterday afternoon. His roomate told us that they'd had a fight and he walked out", the headmaster said.
"Are you his roomate?" the woman asked, turning to look at David.
"No, his roomate's in his dorm, do you want to speak to him?" David replied.
"If we could", the woman smiled, following the boy into a dorm building, the headmaster and other police officer in tow.
Jeff lay on his bed, wearing one of Nick's old hoodies. The brunette's scent engulfed him. The smell of cologne and mint and just Nick made him calmer but more anxious at the same time. Just as he was drifting off to sleep, hoping that in his dreams he would see his best friend again, a sharp knock at the door drew him from his slumber. Groaning loudly, he threw the covers back and dragged himself out of bed and to the door. Cracking it open slightly, he saw David, two police officers and the headmaster standing at his door, and anxious look on their faces. He opened the door fully.
Rubbing his eyes, he said, "Hey guys, sir, police dudes..." he trailed off, not really sure what to say.
"Hello Jeff, I'm PC McCauley. I've come to ask you a few questions about your friend's dissappearance", the woman held out her hand to shake, Jeff accepting reluctantly.
"Can we come in?" the man asked.
"Uh, yeah. Sure..." Jeff stepped aside to let them in.
"So Jeff. Can you explain to us what happened yesterday afternoon?" the woman asked.
Jeff took a deep breath, sitting down on his bed while wrapping his arms around himself.
"Well, after school, Nick and I came up to our room. This one..." Jeff gestured weakly around the room, "He told me that a guy had asked him out, and when I told him that I didn't think it was a good idea, we started argueing".
"Do you think the boy who asked him out is dangerous?" the male police officer asked.
"No, I don't know. I don't know him", Jeff mumbled.
The female police seemed to understand. Young love, she thought.
"So when Nick left? Was he angry or upset?" she asked.
"Both", Jeff replied.
"And is that the last time you heard from him? He didn't call you afterwards?" the man asked.
Jeff shook his head, "No, he didn't call. I haven't spoken to him".
"Can you give us a description of him? And maybe a picture too?" the woman asked.
"About 5"10, longish brown hair, brown eyes. He was wearing his uniform when he left but I know he keeps spare clothes in his car", Jeff replied.
"But his car's still in the parking lot", David added.
"So he's probably still in his uniform?" the woman asked.
"Yeah", David and Jeff answered together, both almost whispering.
"Do you have a picture we could have?" the man asked.
"Yeah, hold on", Jeff stood up and walked over to Nick's bedside table. Opening the second drawer, he pulled out a picture of him and Nick together at Blaine's 16th birthday party. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he turned to face the officers, holding out the picture.
"It's the only good one I have", he mumbled, trying to ignore the ache in his chest when the picture was taken from him.
"Thank you. We'll let you know if we find anything", the police officers stood up and left, closing the door behind them.
The headmaster stood up also. Turning to Jeff, he said, "As you are in no state to attend school, I can give you some time off. A couple of weeks, or until they find Nick. I'm sorry this happened, but I am positive the police will find him".
Jeff smiled at the headmaster, watching as he also left the dorm room.
There was a heavy silence before David spoke.
"Do you want some time alone?" he asked.
Jeff nodded, sliding under the covers, but this time in Nick's bed.
David sighed as he stood up and followed the headmaster's path out of the room.
Poor depressed Jeff. I like sad things though. No, actually, I like happy things and smut :)
