"Em?" Ellie asked for quietly as she entered the room. No one was there. Ellie went to the secretary to ask her. "Hi, uh, I'm looking for Emma Nelson?"
"Sorry, but she checked out just yesterday." The secretary said.
"Oh ok, thanks" Ellie responded quietly.
Ellie began to walk aimlessly around the streets of Toronto. She had been walking for over 3 hours until she reached a familiar house, Emma's house.
Ellie walked up to the door and hesitantly rang to doorbell. She waits for the door to open. When nobody came to open the door after 2 minutes, Ellie turned around to leave, but she heard the door unlock. The door opened to reveal…
The door opened to reveal Spike.
"Hey Spike, is Emma home?" Ellie asked politely, but hesitantly.
"Yea honey, come in. she should be downstairs in her room." Spike said letting Ellie in.
Ellie walked down to Emma's room. She called her name but didn't receive an answer.
"Em?" Ellie said once she was completely in her room. She was about to cry. Nothing, nothing was there, only her bed and furniture. She left all the pictures of herself and Manny, even some stuff of herself and Jay. But everything else was gone. Emptiness everywhere. Ellie felt a tear coming along.
Upstairs.
"Spike honey, who was at the door?" Snake said entering the kitchen where Spike was drying dishes.
"Oh it was Ellie." Spike answered.
"What did she want?" Snake asked wondering if Spike forgot already again for the third time.
"Oh she was looking for Emma. I told her that she's downstairs. Why?" Spike asked. She looked to Snake who had stunned look on his face and she finally got it. "Oh. My. God. Ellie!" Spike shouted running down the stairs with Snake following behind. "Ellie honey!" Spike shouted again looking down the stairs. She saw Ellie there, kneeing on the floor.
"Where did she go?" Ellie asked Spike not turning around. You can tell by the sound of her voice that she was crying.
"I don't know" Spike said moving towards Ellie.
"You don't know?" Ellie asked nonchalantly.
"Yea, we don't know. She told us to buy her a plane ticket. She told us not to buy it anywhere specific, that she will pick a place, A place where no one can find her or look for her. We told her its okay. She said she would call once she landed from where ever she was going, but she told us that she wasn't going to tell us where she was going. She convinced us. She left yesterday." Snake said as he felt both Ellie and Spike crying. "Spike has been forgetting that she is gone for good. She keeps thinking that she still ives here." Snake finished explaining Spikes' forgetfulness.
"Oh. I should go. Please tell me when she calls." Ellie asked going up the stairs.
"Of course we will." Spike and Snake said together.
Ellie left and began walking aimlessly for 3 hours until she reached Sean and Jay's apartment. She went to the door. She was about to open because she knew that they would keep it open for her. She leaned against the wall outside the apartment, next to the door, and slid down to sit on her butt. She began to cry. Her best friend was gone. And she didn't know when or if she would be coming back. She had to of been crying for about 30 minutes. She hears people talking while coming out of the elevator. She knew it was the voices of Alex, Sean, and Jay. She hid her face in her knees, which were held up to her chest. The three saw Ellie and ran to her.
"El babe? Where have you been?" Sean asked his girlfriend who was crying her eyes out.
"Let's see, the hospital, Emma's house, and here." Ellie was able to answer while crying.
"How long have you been here? "Sean asked
"About 30 minutes." Ellie responded.
"Why haven't you gone inside?" Alex asked.
"Sh- she's gone. She's gone for good." Ellie responded nonchalantly.
"Who babe? Who's gone?" Sean asked
"Emma." Ellie, Alex, and Sean heard. They turned and Saw Jay was the one who said so.
"Yea, Emma's gone. Her parents don't even know where she went. She said she would call them when she landed from where ever." Ellie said calming down from crying, but still crying a little bit.
"Are you sure? Cuz Emma doesn't seem like the type to just leave." Jay asked as he was about to cry. The love of his life was gone and he doesn't know where to look for her.
"I went to her room. Everything, it was gone. She just left behind some pictures of herself and Manny." Ellie said.
"No note or anything?" Alex asked not happy about this news.
"No" Ellie said monotone.
"Okay Ellie, lets go inside. Everyone is worried about you." Sean said helping Ellie up
The four walked inside and everyone was on the couch. They looked worried when they saw all four of them on the verge of tears with Jay and Ellie still somewhat crying they explained everything ot them. Everyone began to cry. That night, everyone slept at Jay and Sean's apartment.
Emma
"We will be landing in less than 30 minutes. Please buckle your seatbelts for you safety," said a flight attendant to the passenger, who one of them was Emma.
"It's alright. We are going to be fine from now one. We are starting out fresh today and for ever from today." Emma said
