So it's been over a year, WOW, I can not believe it's been that long I've been so busy with school and everything that I forgot about this story. Anyways without further adieu here is chapter 25
"Listen I appreciate everything you're doing from coming with me and making me feel better, but if you keep shaking your leg I'm probably going to throw you out this plane" Lizzy said in exasperation as Will immediately ceased the torturous leg shaking
"Same could be said about your nail bitting, honestly you need to stop that, your hands look manly" Will said prying Lizzy's nails away from her mouth
"So how much longer until we land, I can not sit in this seat anymore" Lizzy moaned shifting dramatically in her seat in search for a comfortable position
"We've only been on this flight for an hour" Will said taking his attention off the book in front of him
"And your point, I'm feeling restless and anxious and that's not a good combination"
"Yes, and I've also noticed your blood sugar has dropped so that as well is not a good combination for me" Will said while raising his arm to indicate assistance to the air hostess
"How may I be of service sir?" The overly cheery and cake faced flight attendant asked with a voice filled with false pleasantry
"Hi could we please get a few packets of nuts that would be great" Will responded smiling at Lizzy whilst the flight attendant pranced away
"Oh please I am not even bad, and a few packets of nuts? I thought you were strictly on a salad diet" Lizzy said playfully hitting him on the arm
"I am not on a salad diet" Will said continuing to read his book
"Oh could have fooled me because that's all you eat"
"I had pancakes this morning"
"Not the point"
"Oh thank you, yeah sorry she really needed it" Will said as the flight attendant returned back with the packets of nuts
"You're treating me like one of those snickers adds" Lizzy said grabbing one of the packets much to Will's satisfaction
"That's because you are like one of those snickers adds" Will said watching her eagerly snack on the nuts "better now?"
"Get out!" She nudged him while holding out another packet to him with an innocent expression "Cheat day?"
"I am not on a diet, I'm sorry that I don't eat until I feel sick like some people"
"Oh me? No I never feel sick from eating, that's only for salad eating rookies like you" She responded ruffling his hair
"Salad eating rookies?"
"Yep, it's tragic really, and would you believe that their are more people out there in the world like you, what monsters"
"Oh yes we truely are what's wrong with the world" Will said sarcastically
"What are you reading anyways, oh my goodness is that one of those entrepreneur books" Lizzy pointed out
"No-"
"Oh no it's better, it's an autobiography" She said excitedly
"And what's so wrong about autobiographies"
"Oh nothing nothing, just interesting"
"Ok so we should be landing very soon now" Will said looking at his watch and putting away his book while Lizzy was lost in thought
"What if we don't find her?" Lizzy said after a moment of silence
"What?"
"Lydia, what if we don't find her, I mean it must be serious if Jane's calling me, ME out of all people to come over to Meryton with my family and search for her, I mean that's a last resort, that's when you know it's really serious"
"She will be ok, alright, I have complete faith that we will find her"
"I'm just scared, she's my baby sister and she's missing"
"I know but hey I'm here, Joe is going to be there, so is Jane, it's going to be ok, everything is going to be ok" Will said comfortingly, soothing Lizzy to relax with a few minutes of silence
"So what a date huh" Lizzy responded with a small smirk on her face
"What do you mean, I would actually count now, this plane ride as the date" Will looked at her with a hint of admiration and pride in himself for achieving a date with the girl of his dreams
"Oh so you can tell your friends that you flew me somewhere extravagant on a first date"
"Exactly my intention, but no when all this blows over, and it will by the way, we will have our first date and it will kick your ass"
"Oh Mr Darcy, what foul, ungentlemanly words, well I never" Lizzy responded outraged
"Just a fair warning"
"I have been warned" Both of them smirked at each other while the landing announcement was made in the background
"Ok so I called Joe he said he will meet us in like two hours, cause that's when his flight lands and I also called Brooke and Stephan so they know that I'm alright, and now I just realised I will have to encounter my mother so maybe I should get myself a ticket bak to New York" Lizzy said readjusting her bag strap with her phone in her hands
"You will be fine, I bet she will be too frantic to even remark on you" Will said grabbing onto her shoulders
"Fingers crossed" Lizzy said as they left the automatic doors of the airport and into Lizzy's personal hell
"Ok let us go find Jane and then we can figure out the course of action from their"
"LIZZY" Jane screeched running into her sisters arms
"Oh Jane"
"I'm am so glad that you are here, you are the only one that can keep me sane in a situation like this" Lizzy said with an exhausted look on her face
"You, not calm and collected? I am astonished, but what's going on? Has their been any news?"
"No not anything yet, we have the police onto it"
"Urgh the police they will do nothing Jane, no I do not trust them"
"Well what else is there to to" Jane huffed clutching her forehead
"I guess not much"
"Oh Darcy hi, I did not see you" Jane said awkwardly as she noticed the figure peaking out from Lizzy's small frame
"It's ok, hello Jane, lovely to see you again"
"And you too, Charlie is in the other room if you want to see him, he has been very helpful and supportive through all this" Will left to the room, leaving the two sisters together
"Jane you know why I'm worried, you know why I don't like this, first a murder and now a kidnapping"
"She is not kidnaped she is missing"
"Oh what did she get lost in forever 21 or something, no she is missing, meaning most likely kidnaped"
"Lizzy why are you always so negative?"
"Cause that's the way I am, that is the way I think, I'm just being realistic"
"No you're just making this into a drama show"
"My whole life is a drama show" Lizzy exclaimed
"We heard raised voiced and wanted to see what was going on" Charlie appeared with Will trailing behind
"Nothing everything is fine" Lizzy huffed
"Lizzy thinks that Lydia has been kidnapped and is too negative to see the other possibilities" Jane quickly said
"Lydia is probably fine, however there is a possibility that can be the case" Will said approaching the little group
"What!" Jane exclaimed
"A small possibility, it might not be but we do not know" Charlie rubbed her arms soothingly
"Then what do we do, how can we find her now" Jane sighed defeated
"I don't know but we can try, maybe looking around places"
"She might be in a bar or something" Will suggested
"She's 17!" Lizzy exclaimed
"Ok but it's not an outrageous theory" Will responded thinking that there was a possibility that she was the type of girl to get drunk with her friends in a club and somehow get lost
"Ok so what clubs can we check?" Charlie asked
"Umm there are not many in Meryton, there is one on Leavesly road" Jane responded thinking intently
"No! not there" Lizzy panicked, exclaiming her words with wide eyes filled with fear
"Oh sorry Lizzy I forgot" Jane said sincerely
"Wait what?" Will asked
"That's the club that you know what happened" Lizzy edged him until he finally understood
"Ohh"
"Yeah ohh"
"Wait what?" Charlie asked curious and confused
"Never mind, but can someone please check, I don't think I can go in there" Lizzy said
"I'll go" Will responded
"Are you sure you don't want to go Lizzy, maybe it will be good for you" Jane said with a look of pity etched on her face as she saw how much her sister has been affected from her past, and prays that Lydia will not have to experience anything like that
"Oh look at that Joe's calling" Lizzy pulled out her phone
"Conveniently" Jane muttered under her breath
"I'm going to answer this" Lizzy said turning away and leaving the room
"Will can you make sure that Lizzy goes with you, it will be so much better for her"
"I agree Jane which is why I will see that she does" Will formally said with his former reserved self creeping
"Thank you" Jane said gratefully
"Ok that was Joe he is two minutes away" Lizzy said walking back and opening the front door
"Is he bringing Jamie?" Jane asked hopeful to see her nephew again
"No he's leaving them with Stephan and Brooke - oh he's here - JOE" Lizzy waved over to the the figure leaving his car in hast and engulfed him into a large hug
"Oh Lizzy, have we heard anything yet?" Joe breathed out audibly
"No not yet but, Will is going to the club to check"
"Will?" Joe asked confused
"Darcy" Lizzy said knowing that Joe was not familiar with his first name
"Oh Darcy - wait Darcy?" Joe responded still confused on his presence
"Hi Joe" Will murmured
"So-" Joe began wanting to know why he was here
"No time for explaining ok I don't know if you guys remember but Lydia is still missing" Lizzy exclaimed
"Ok then let us go" Will said placing an hand on Lizzy's arm
"Us?" Lizzy asked confused
"Yes us" Will nudged her towards the rental car
"No, no no no no no, I'm not going in there ok" Lizzy stood firm and still
"Lizzy I know we haven't known each other long but come on both Jane and I agree that it would be good for you to go in" Will said trying to convince her to go with him
"Is this the club, like THE club" Joe asked
"The very one" Lizzy spat out
"No, I agree go"
"Joe!"
"Think about it, it might give you closure" Joe said reassuring Lizzy
"Fine I'll go but a quick search and we are out" Lizzy raised a finger at him
"Promise, ok let us go" Will said opening the car door
"I liked it better when I didn't like you" Lizzy pouted
"Oh please you always liked me you just never knew it"
"Ok then Darcy"
"Are we back on Darcy?"
"We were always on Darcy"
"Ok we have looked, now lets go" Lizzy said with her arms crossed standing in the middle of the empty bar
"Lizzy we have barely been here for two minutes"
"Two minutes is enough to know that she is not here"
"This doesn't look like a club" Will said noticing his surroundings of the wooden bar table and staircase leading to rooms
"That's because this is a small town, for Meryton this is as exclusive and wild as it's going to get"
"Ohh so that's why their are rooms upstairs"
"Ahhh yes those rooms that I refuse to enter, are for people who are too drunk to get home or people that like the late night beats and stench of cheap perfume and vomit"
"Oh wow I wonder why Charlie even rented a house when we could of stayed here"
"I know right, obviously didn't research this place before you came"
"Obviously not"
"Ok then if it's for drunk people then the room's our best bet"
"No"
"Liz-"
"No I came in here ok, but I refuse to enter one of those rooms, REFUSE"
"I understand ok I really understand but think of why you are here in the first place"
"To find my sister"
"That and for closure"
"Will I never said I needed closure"
"Sure you didn't say it but it's obvious, I know a part of you wants to face this and put it behind you, so I guess this is the final step" Will's eyes bored into hers with such intensity and care
"I scared" Lizzy whispered exhaling harshly
"I would be worried if you weren't, this isn't easy, but come on I'm going to be with you and everything will be alright" Will reached for her hand as they ascended the creaky stairs, Lizzy taking slow deep breaths to try and calm herself. They started to check each room searching for any sign of Lydia, until they came across the room that Lizzy was dreading, and when they twisted the doorknob and opened the wretched brown wooden door they were shocked on the sight they saw before them. There lay the unconscious body of Lydia Bennet with another figure sitting primly at the edge of the bed with a glint of excitement in her eye at the arrival of her new guests.
"Nicole!"
See you soon!
