No one's POV
It been a day since Carly and Sam heard from Freddie. He didn't show up after his fight with Sam. He didn't answer his cell phone or house phone, when Carly called. Sam didn't care, since she was eating cereal.
"The Dork is probably there early or something." Sam said, brushing it off.
Carly sighed. "Sam." The two girls went upstairs to get ready for school.
They went to school, looked around for Freddie, though they did notice a guy with slight skater black hair, and looked a little Gothic due to his choice of black clothes. He was leaning against a wall, his arms folded against his chest, he was biting his lower lip and tears were slowly rolling down his cheeks. Three others kids where there patting his arms or shoulders.
"He just got up and disappeared." The Gothic boy Josh said and the two girls couldn't help but listen. Maybe this had to do with Freddie's disappearance too.
"I know. Leslie also disappeared." The brunette girl said.
"Corey also disappeared." A boy said.
"That's weird." Carly whispered to Sam and they walked up to the small group of kids. "Our friend Freddie disappeared yesterday. He never answered or returned our calls and texts."
"Maybe they ran away to get eloped." The same brunette girl Lucy said, excited. Josh just looked at Lucy confused.
"Why would they do something like that?" Josh asked confused and Lucy shrugged.
"I just…" Lucy trailed off, sounding a little upset.
Josh patted Lucy's shoulder. "It's okay. We all say stupid things sometimes. I do."
Carly just stared. Josh had light green eyes, the most prettiest eyes she'd ever seen.
Lucy just smiled. "Thanks."
"Why are you so upset about Kyle disappearing anyway? All you ever did was argue." The other girl Hanna pointed out.
Josh rolled his eyes. "I don't know. I've been getting mixed feelings for him." Carly and Sam walked away.
"Man. Four people disappearing. That's a bit of a coincidence don't you think?" Carly said and Sam shrugged. One person disappearing she could handle. But four people disappearing on the same day, was a little nerve wracking.
Sure Sam felt bad that her last words were, 'If you disappeared, no one would care', that seemed to jinx it.
"I wonder if Crazy is going crazy about Freddork being gone." Sam said, forcing a laugh.
Leslie was driving the car down a dirt road, and pulled up to a red headed girl, with a duffle bag slung over her shoulder. She was wearing brown khaki shorts and a white shirt. She had a small pink digital camera clipped a belt loop, and she looked to be about twelve or thirteen. Corey rolled down the window.
"Need a ride?" Corey asked.
"Um…" The red head wasn't quite sure what to say. She was raised to not talk to strangers, though they seemed nice.
"We're heading to Las Vegas." Leslie called to the girl, who seemed to perk up a little at that.
"What a coincidence. So am I." The red head said.
"Come on." Leslie said and Freddie got out of the backseat. His joints popped and Leslie popped the trunk open. Freddie helped the red head put her duffle bag with the suit cases.
"I'm Amy." The red head said.
"I'm Freddie, the one driving is Leslie, the blonde haired girl is Corey, and the other blond is Kyle." Freddie introduced and closed the trunk. The two teens got in the backseat and Freddie closed the door.
The car drove, the five teens were trying to get Amy to know more about them, and Amy seemed to be enjoying the fact that she found people she didn't even know existed. They seemed like such nice people.
"So. Why are you heading to Las Vegas?" Corey asked.
"I couldn't handle my step dad anymore." Amy said, shifting a little in her seat.
"Why?" Freddie asked.
Amy shrugged. "I don't want to talk about it. Why are you heading to Las Vegas?"
"That's a place we agreed to head to figure out where to go. Well I'm running away because my parents barely know I exist." Leslie replied.
Corey nodded. "I'm running away from my sister's boyfriend who abused me."
"I'm running away from my feelings of a boy who will never love me and doesn't notice I'm there." Kyle explained.
"I'm running away from my friend Sam's bullying, my mom's overprotective ways, and my friend Carly who always takes Sam's side." Freddie said.
Since they explained their situation, I should explain mine. "I'm running away from my step-dad's rape." Amy nearly burst into tears. It was finally out in the open, and they could kick her out of the group like what her 'friends' did after calling her a whore. She felt comforting hands pat her shoulders, and she tensed up a little, but relaxed.
"It's okay. We'll be here for you." Freddie said and Amy smiled. She finally found friends that care about her.
A/N: Just a take on what Carly and Sam were feeling about Freddie's disappearance. Josh, Kyle's crush, is pretty upset about Kyle running away. Josh said that he's been having mixed feelings about Kyle.
Yay! A new friend joined the gang. This time she has a camera. What's with the camera? You ask. You'll find out, I say.
