Chapter 3
Days had passed since the last time Cara had seen or heard from Elena. She thought it was odd for her friend not to call and confirm everything for the shoot they were supposed to do today but headed towards Elena's work space anyway . Usually Cara could see Elena's car parked in its spot out front of the old building, however as her eyes glanced from each side of the building's parking lot she noticed not a single car was even in the lot. She made her way to the door and tried to open it without any success. Sighing she pulled out her phone and started to dial Elena's cell. After getting her voicemail twice she tried Diane.
"Hello" Diane's voice cut Cara away from her thoughts.
"Hey Diane do you know where Elena is? I'm at her studio and she isn't here." Cara fidgeted with her keys before getting back into her X1 shutting the door and starting the engine. She then pulled out of the lot and started heading towards her apartment.
"So she didn't tell you either huh... I met with my brother earlier and he told me she had a family emergency in a place called Bear Valley and she had to go help with the kids because someone got into an accident."
"Why wouldn't she call me to cancel. Something must of happened if she didn't even think to text." Cara said confused
"She told Philip it was touch and go, but has she ever mentioned family to you?" Diane questioned.
"When she moved up here and lived with me she mentioned some family issues but never went into detail." Cara stopped herself before telling her friend about Elena's previous engagement. She couldn't shake the feeling that whatever had happened had to do with him and if Elena was back in the family drama she had tried so hard to run away from there had to be something very wrong.
"Philip didn't know anything either. Just something about Stone Heaven and Bear Valley"
"That will have to do" Cara said as she arrived at her apartment.
"Cara what are you planning? I can hear you thinking through the phone." Diane stated. Cara frowned as she went into her apartment and started packing a bag.
"Last time she had Family issues she went MIA. I'm just going to make sure she remembers why she needs to come back." Cara said stuffing the last of her bathroom supplies in a duffle bag.
"Ok, I know I won't be able to say anything to stop you so just be careful not to smother her. You know she hates feeling caged."
Cara could hear the concern in her voice but she knew she couldn't just leave Elena alone to deal with her problems again. After saying goodbye to Diane she got in her car and started driving to Bear Valley unsure of how the next few days would turn out but not being able to shake the feeling in the pit of her stomach that everything was about to change.
