Chapter 23:It's Brandon!

Hello my fellow readers. Here's another chapter….Enjoy!

Recap:

I think I know who it is~ Mack

Mack again completely froze. This whole thing made sense to her. The night before prom Brandon had texted Mack that he was incredibly sorry for what he did and promised to never do anything like that. That he loved her and wanted to get back together. Mack had calmly responded that she didn't want anything to do with him and that she was perfectly fine being with Brady. Brandon overreacted and is now out to get Mack. Either for good or bad, but he knows that he has to get rid of Brady first.

Mack made sure not to tell Brady any of that and to keep a look out for Brandon. That night Kiki went missing, she was wearing a dress that Brandon had seen Mack in numerous times. She burned the dress after what happened between them that was so bad the summer Brady was on vacation.

Since Mack and Kiki have the same color hair, he must've thought Kiki was Mack from the back. So he made her miserable, well that's what he thinks.

Mack wasn't going to let some jerk ruin her life and the people she cared about. Without saying a word Mack got out of Brady's grip and stormed out the door, slamming it on her way out.

Everybody stared at her utterly confused on what just happened.

After everyone took their eyes off the door they landed them at Brady. He put his hands up in surrender.

"I don't know what happened! She said she knew then she stormed out!" He ran his fingers through his blonde locks and looked down. Everyone took this as their cue to leave, they all slowly crept out leaving Brady alone.

"Please be safe! Don't do anything stupid." Brady muttered running his hands through his hair again.

A few hours had past and Mack still hasn't come back. The gang was trying to get Brady to calm down but they didn't know how. Only Mack knew and she wasn't exactly available at the moment.

"That's it! I have to go look for her." Brady decided heading towards the door.

"Wait!" Lela squealed rushing towards Brady with Olivia on her tail.

"What?" Brady cried turning around. Lela gasped. He looked exactly the same as he did when him and Mack to a break and when she disappeared in Wet Side Story.

"You don't even know where she could be!" Olivia tried convincing. Brady looked unconvinced.

"That's exactly why I need to go look for her, nobody knows her better than I do." Brady whined, looking at the door praying that Olivia and Lela will let him leave.

"Then we are going with you. And we are not taking no for an answer." Lela sassed walking out the door with Olivia following. Brady sighed before turning back to the others.

"We'll be back! Don't burn the house down!"

"Ok!" Everyone shouted back. Brady closed the door and ran to catch up with the girls.

The first place the trio tried was Mack's house. Of course Lela had to stay behind while Olivia and Brady walked up to the door. Since Brady has known Mack's grandpa a long time, he doesn't knock anymore he just walks in.

"Hello? Gramps?" He also calls him gramps. The two of them are practically best friends.

"In here Brady." Mack's grandpa called from the living room. Brady marched there along with Olivia to see Gramps watching Wet Side Story while Aunt Antoinette was sitting next to him but on her phone. If it wasn't for how she dressed, you could easily mistake her for a teenage girl with how much she is on her phone.

"Is Mack here?" Brady asked getting right to the point. As he asked his hands were shaking.

In Wet Side Story there weren't many places she could've disappeared to but in the real world, there are endless possibilities.

"No, we thought she was with you two." Gramps stood up, facing the two teens. Aunt Antoinette looked up from her phone and the mention of her nieces name.

"Well she was then she stormed out." Olivia stated taking the pressure off of Brady who was already having a nervous breakdown as it is.

"Why did she storm out?" Aunt Antoinette pressured. Brady and Olivia froze. How were they supposed to explain this!

"I'm waiting!" Brady looked to Olivia for help.

"Um.. she just needed to do some last minute planning for her party but she left about 5 hours ago." Olivia lied. It worked in Mack's grandpa's eyes but not in her aunts.

"That doesn't explain why she stormed out."

"Well we don't know the exact reason okay?! My girlfriend has been missing for over 5 hours and hasn't contacted me at all! And I'm worried sick about her!" Brady freaked sitting down on the couch and burying his head in this hands.

"Brady. I think you need to have some rest. She'll turn up in the morning. I don't know where she could've gone." Gramps reasoned. Brady didn't agree, but Olivia pulled him off the couch and dragged him out the door.

"We'll let you know if we hear anything!" Olivia called before shutting the door, grabbing Lela, and heading back to her house.

"Wait we still have to look for her!" Brady argued. Olivia shook her head.

"You heard her grandfather. You need rest before you go mentally insane." Lela chuckled.

"Yeah like I'm going to be able to sleep." Brady scoffed. Lela giggled.

"You can at least try. I saw you left your phone at the house. Try calling her when we get back." Olivia suggested. Brady's head perked up. He saw Olivia's house in view and took off. The girls rolled their eyes and followed. They walked in to see Brady with two phones in his hands. His and Mack's.

"She left without her phone too." Brady groaned.

"Let me see it." Olivia said reaching for Mack's phone. She hesitated before handing the phone back.

"What?" Brady asked confused as to why she was giving the phone back.

"I don't know her password." Olivia replied bluntly. Brady chuckled while rolling his eyes. He punched in Mack's password and handed the phone back to Olivia.

"I can't believe this." Olivia gasped. Brady rushed over next to her.

"What?"

"Look at these messages." Olivia showed the messages to Brady and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"No…no it can't be. He can't have her!" Brady shouted, which startled the rest of the gang.

"According to this text message it seems pretty explainable."

Brady ran his fingers through his hair. Brandon may have Mack, and who knows what he's capable of know.

Mack's in potential danger,

And nobody knows where she is.

Hope you liked it! What'd you think? You may be confused as who Brandon is but if you read my other story Before Me and You, you would know who he is. He's just Mack's ex boyfriend. If you couldn't already tell. Thank you to my reviewers and readers!
