Austin
I knock on the door frantically, along with ringing the doorbell.
I wasn't expecting to see a random person.
"Can I help you with something?" the man asks in a stern tone. I feel my hands shake, they've been doing that a lot lately. Did Dez already leave? He said that he could give me until Friday, and it's still Friday. Where could he have gone already?
Returning my attention back to the man I ask, "Yes, um, when did you move in here? Was it today? The person who sold it to you had red hair right?"
The man's blank expression changes into slight shock, probably confused by my immediate questions. "Well, the house was on sale for a couple of days now. 2 days ago I noticed it, and the seller seemed very eager to sell it, so I bought it. I just arrived today. Why?"
"Did the seller have red hair?"
"Yes."
"Do you know where he is?"
The man still remains in utter shock. I wouldn't doubt my facial expression is erratic. "N-No."
"Thanks for your time!" I shout and run off Dez's old property. But what has me shocked is, if the guy said that the house was on sale for a few days, why didn't I know? Why didn't Dez tell me?
Why did he just run off?
I sit on the edge of the sidewalk, with my head in my hands. This is all my fault, and almost everything else these days seems to be too. Anger corrupts me soon after. Why the fuck did Dez do that? I broke up with Ally, I came out, my whole career is on the line!
But then again, I should've just told Dez right away and made up my mind. This is a flaw of mine, I put things off that really mean a lot to me because I don't want to see anyone I love getting hurt.
But I always seem to hurt them more this way.
For now though, all I am focused on is finding Dez.
Authors Note- Hi guys. I'm really sorry that this chapter was postponed for so long. I haven't been feeling well the past few weeks, due to that, I had no motivation for writing and it probably affected the amount of plot in this chapter. I promise that as soon as I am feeling better, I will make a nice long chapter to make up for lost details. Thank you to all of you who are still continuing to read this story, and I'll see you soon :)
