  When she returned, she looked for Felicity, but she couldn’t find her. She noticed that everyone that Felicity had fucked with was still here and were all having a good time. She consistently looked around for Felicity, but she was nowhere to be found. She called and texted her, but there was no answer. She didn’t seem too concern because her purse was still on the table. She searched through it and found that her phone was missing, but she expected this since she knew that she had it on her, but was wondering why she was not answering her phone. She sighed as she thought that maybe she did go off with someone that she just met here and not any one of the people that she knew from school and just from being here, such as Jay, but he was still here as well as Stacia.

  As the club neared closing time, the crowd thinned out tremendously, and Erin seemed as if she’d sent her millionth text and phone call to Felicity as she stood outside and held her purse as well as Felicity’s as she watched people leave. She stood at the front of the club as her phone was pressed to her ear as if it was glued to it. She continued to watch people get in their cars and leave. She walked over to her car and then got in it. She looked around and watched everyone as they walked out of the club and either straight to their cars and left, or they just hung out by them, but they eventually left. She watched as Jay and Stacia left the club together. They got into her white luxury car and left. Minutes after that, she saw Jackie and Allen leave as he had his arm around her. Her friends, Trina and Cherie, followed behind them, but Willow wasn’t with them. No more than a minute later, she saw Sloan walk out of the club with Willow, and Willow got into his car and they left together. She shook her head, but tried not to think too much of it. Five minutes had gone by, and Taylor and Hunter left the club with their friends. Taylor and Hunter got into his car and they drove out of the parking lot. More people came out as it was clear that the club was closed. She waited to see if Felicity would walk out, but Reamer walked out instead with Joe, as Audrey and her friends tagged behind them. She watched as Reamer and Joe got into Joe’s car and then left, and Audrey and her friends got into Audrey’s car and left as well.

  The parking lot was practically empty. Erin got back out of her car and walked back inside the club and asked could she talk to Carson. One of the bouncers went to go get him.

  “Hey, Erin. What’s going on? I thought you would’ve left by now,” Carson said.

  “Carson, I can’t find Felicity. I haven’t seen her in over three hours and she’s not answering her phone. She usually always gets back to me in minutes. I looked all in here and everywhere outside for her and I don’t see her!” she said, trying not to sound like she was in a panic.

  “Calm down, Erin. Knowing her, she probably went off with some guy that she just met here since she’s done that before, right?”

  “No, she hasn’t,” she replied. “If she would leave this club with a guy, it would be to go to his car or hers out in the parking lot and she wouldn’t be gone longer than an hour and she would never leave with him because she always tells me that she likes to stay in the club parking lot.”

  “Well, maybe this time she decided to venture off somewhere with someone. She’ll turn up soon, Erin. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait outside for her because we gotta clean up in here since we’re closed now.”

  She sighed. “Okay,” she said, and then walked back outside and got into her car.

  Fifteen minutes went by, and now the club parking lot was empty. Everyone was gone except for the people who worked here. Erin was getting really distraught as she tried once again to call Felicity and still, no answer. Trying her best to assume that she did in fact leave with some guy from here and just lost track of time, she decided to leave the club. She called Felicity at every stoplight and stop sign, as well as texted her, and got nothing in return. She decided to go by her house to see if Felicity decided to have who she left the club with drop her off at her house and forgot to call her to tell her about it. She slowly drove by Felicity’s house, and the light to her bedroom was off, so she knew she wasn’t home. She looked to her right up at Taylor’s room, and saw that his light was off as well, so she knew that he hadn’t made it home yet since he was at the club tonight and saw him leave with Hunter and his friends at closing time. She wanted to ask Felicity’s parents had she called them in the past few hours, but knew that they were probably sleeping so she didn’t want to bother them. She let out a huge sigh and went home with the hopes that Felicity would call her in the morning, and she was prepared to really cuss her out when she did.

  Chapter 15

  Erin doesn’t sleep the night before since she hadn’t heard from or seen Felicity. She checked Felicity’s social media pages and noticed that she hadn’t been active on them since she was at the club last night. She tried to call her again; no answer. She texted her again; no answer. Suddenly, her phone rang. “Felicity?”

  “No, Erin, this is Catherine. Have you seen or talked to Felicity?”

  Erin sighed. “Not since last night at the club.”

  “Did you drop her off here last night?”

  Erin paused. “No, I didn’t. She just told me not to worry about how she got a ride home last night because she was talking to some guys at the club and that she would get a ride from one of them,” she lied, since she didn’t know what else to say because Felicity never told her that, although she did see her talking to a lot of guys at the club that she didn’t know, but this is what she did all the time so it was nothing unusual.

  Catherine shook her head. “Okay, so, do you know who these guys are?”

  “No, I don’t, Mrs. Gains,” Erin said.

  Catherine let out a big sigh. “Well, we’ve tried calling her and texting her and she hasn’t returned any of our calls or texts. Has she tried to call you or have you tried to call her?”

  “Yes, I have, and I haven’t been able to contact her, either. I just think she’s at someone’s house or something and she lost track of time.”

  “The only house she’s allowed to be at is yours or her own around this time of the day,” Catherine said, since it was early in the morning.

  “I know, Mrs. Gains,” Erin said. “I’ll let you know the second she calls me, and I’ll tell her to call you right away.”

  “Be sure you do,” Catherine said.

  Erin sighed as she hung up the phone since she honestly didn’t know Felicity’s whereabouts, and had to pretend to Catherine that she did know. Suddenly, a chime came in on her phone indicating that she received a text . . . it was Felicity! Hey, Erin. I’m okay so don’t worry. She immediately texted back. Felicity! Where the fuck R U? I’ve been worried sick since last night about U! Call your mom right now because she’s worried about you! DO IT NOW!!! She sent the text and waited for her to answer. I’ll do it right now, Felicity texted back.

  About twenty minutes went by and Erin decided to call Catherine to see if Felicity had called her.

  “Erin. Have you been able to get in contact with Felicity?” Catherine asked.

  Erin looked shocked! “What?! Well, yeah! She texted me not more than a minute after I got off the phone with you and told me that she was okay and not to worry! I told her to call you right away!”

  “Well, this phone has been glued to my hand and she hasn’t called or text me,” Catherine informed her.

  “She told me she was going to,” Erin said. “Maybe someone called her when I was through talking to her and she’s talking to them right now.”

  Catherine sighed. “I just don’t like the sound of all of this, Erin. Something’s wrong.”

  Erin tried to suppress her gasping because she didn’t want to believe the worst — that something was wrong. But she spoke to Felicity and believe that it was her who texted her, but something kept telling her that the text didn’t sound a hundred percent like her because after all, she knew how she wrote in them — and something seemed strange about this one. “Mrs. Gains, Felicity texted me; it came through on her phone, not anyone else’s. She’
s somewhere, and I’m sure she’ll let us know where she’s at or just show up at your home.”

  “I hope so, Erin. I’m gonna call her right now and see if I can get an answer from her. And if she texts you again then you let me know right away, okay?”

  “Of course, Mrs. Gains,” Erin said. She hung up and sat on her bed.

  Several minutes later, a text came through on Erin’s phone again from Felicity! I’m on my way home right now. She immediately texted her back. Tell your mom that! She’s worried like crazy about you and so am I! Text her now and stop playing games because she told me that she didn’t receive your text about being OK! She sent the text and impatiently waited. It came in minutes later. I will, Erin, okay? Stop overreacting. She breathed a sigh of relief because this did sound like Felicity since she would usually tell her to stop overreacting.

  Erin let out a deep sigh as she tried to figure out if she wanted to wait until Felicity contacted her from home, or if Catherine would call her and let her know that she was there. She decided that she couldn’t wait, and decided to once again go to Felicity’s house to see if she would be there by the time she got there since she told her that she was on her way there.

  Less than ten minutes later, Erin arrived at Felicity’s house and saw Felicity’s car out in the driveway . . . she breathed a sigh of relief! Since she knew that it was parked in the garage last night, she knew that she had to have been somewhere once she got back home. She drove up in the driveway, got out of the car, and walked up to the front door.

  The door opened to Catherine standing in it. “Erin. What are you doing here?”

  “I came to see Felicity,” Erin replied.

  “Felicity isn’t here,” Catherine informed her.

  Erin tried not to gasp! “But . . . her car is out of the garage. I just thought that—”

  “Her dad moved it so he could get some stuff out of the garage, that’s all. He’s out looking for her right now, but he told me to stay here because he wanted someone here with the twins and for someone to also be here when Felicity comes home.”

  Erin lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Gains. She told me that she was coming straight home and I decided to come here so I could meet her here and find out what happened to her last night.”

  Catherine stared at her. “Erin, are you being truthful with me that you don’t know where she is? You’re not covering for her or anything, are you?”

  “Absolutely not, Mrs. Gains,” Erin replied.

  Catherine nodded. She looked over Erin and across the street at Taylor’s house. “Has she been involved with Taylor? You know what I mean.”

  Erin sighed. “Can I come in, Mrs. Gains?”

  “You sure can,” Catherine replied.

  Erin and Catherine sat at the kitchen table.

  “Mrs. Gains, no one knows Felicity like the way I do. Felicity likes to have fun—”

  “And what’s so bad about that?” a voice said from the back of the kitchen.

  “FELICITY!” Erin and Catherine said as they jumped out of their chairs!

  Felicity grinned at them. She was wearing the same clothes that she had on last night, but had on a thick red sweater that purposely covered up the floral crop top that she wore last night, a sweater that she left in Erin’s car to always change in and out of when she went to the club.

  “I don’t know whether I should hit you or hug you!” Catherine said.

  “Me too!” Erin said.

  “I think I’d like the latter!” Felicity replied with a laugh.

  They all hugged, and then sat down at the kitchen table.

  “So, where were you?” Catherine asked.

  Felicity grinned. “I was out in the parking lot with a guy I’d seen and talk to occasionally at Moves,” she replied.

  Erin looked at her. She didn’t know whether to believe her or not because the last time that she’d seen her, she said she was going to find Carson to get another drink. “Who was it?” she asked.

  “Max,” Felicity replied. “Max Benson.”

  Erin gave Felicity a look of suspicion because she’d never mentioned to her a guy named Max.

  “Is he on social media?” Catherine asked.

  “No, Mom, he’s not, so don’t go tryin’ to look him up. I just talked to him outside in the parking lot in his SUV. It’s a big one so we just got to know one another and I admit, I had a lot of drinks,” Felicity replied.

  Erin and Catherine looked at her.

  “You know you shouldn’t be drinking, Felicity, and he shouldn’t be, either,” Catherine said.

  “I know, Mom. It’s no big deal, okay?”

  “No big deal?! Are you fuckin’ kidding me, Felicity, about it not being a big deal?! Is the reason why you didn’t come home last night and Erin couldn’t find you is because of you drinking with a guy you’ve seen occasionally at the club? IS IT?!” Catherine shouted.

  Erin looked at Felicity.

  “Yeah, it is,” Felicity replied with her head down. “I’m sorry, Mom, okay? I’m sorry, Erin. I didn’t even see that you’d called me because I was passed out in the back of his SUV. I literally didn’t wake up until around six in the morning.”

  “So he stayed in that club parking lot all night and let you sleep it off because he didn’t want to take you home in the condition that you were in?” Catherine asked.

  “No, Mom. He took me to his house.”

  “WHAT?!” Catherine yelled.

  “Calm down, Mom,” Felicity said. “As you see, I’m okay.”

  “That’s not the damn point and you know it!” Catherine said, and then got on her phone. “Todd? Felicity’s here so you can come home . . . yes, she’s here. I’m talking to her and Erin right now. Okay, bye.” She hung up and stared at Felicity. “You’re not going to that club anymore,” she informed her.

  “MOM!”

  “Felicity! Don’t argue with me right now! I’m furious with you! And your dad is gonna be, too, when he finds out why you didn’t come home last night! You’re lucky nothing bad happened to you! Who knows what the hell that boy could’ve done to you!” Catherine said.

  “I agree,” Erin calmly said.

  Felicity sat shaking her head as she stared down at the kitchen table. “Uh, yeah, you would,” she said to Erin. She got up. “I’m going to my room. I need to rest.”

  “This conversation is not over by a long shot, Felicity, and you know it,” Catherine warned her.

  Felicity left the kitchen as Erin tagged along behind her. Once they got up into her bedroom, she shut the door and locked it. Erin sat on her bed. She removed her clothes and then got her robe. “I’m gonna go take a shower. I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

  “I’ll be here,” Erin replied.

  Several minutes later, Felicity came back into the bedroom with her loungewear on as Erin stared at her. “What?”

  “So what’s the real version of what happened last night, Felicity? I know you didn’t tell your mom the whole truth down there.”

  Felicity grinned. “Okay, you’re right. That was the mom or parents version of the story, as I always say. But actually, it was true about us being in the parking lot because I never like to leave Moves with a guy I don’t know. But we were both getting hungry from smoking weed, that’s why we decided to get something to eat.”

  Erin shook her head with a grin. “And how come you didn’t invite me along? I actually had a bad headache last night and was so dizzy that I had to go lay down in Carson’s brother’s office on his sofa. When I got up, it was three hours later and I checked my phone and saw how you hadn’t called or texted me, Felicity. I searched that whole club for you and even watched until the last person left. I eventually left and was terrified that something had happened to you. I even drove by here last night to see if you did get dropped off here. So was it really you that texted me earlier?”

  Felicity looked at her confused. “No, I didn’t text you. I just told Max to drop me off here after I sobered up and my hi
gh wore off. I had my phone turned off the whole time I was with him because I didn’t want my battery to drain since I didn’t have my charger with me.”

  Erin looked shocked! “What?! That doesn’t make any sense, Felicity! Those texts were from your phone! Where’s your phone?”

  Felicity grabbed her phone off of her desk where it was recharging, and looked at it. “There are no texts on here from me to you last night at the club. There’s just the ones from earlier in the day before we went there.”

  “Well, someone was playing with your phone!”

  “No one touches my phone but me,” Felicity assured her.

  Erin got out her phone and went to the texts. She showed them to Felicity. “What does that look like right there?”

  Felicity shook her head. “Erin, if I sent them then I’m sorry, but I don’t remember sending them. It was a weird feeling that I had and I kinda still feel like that right now so who knows what I could’ve sent, you know? But what I do know is that we gotta head back to Moves tonight!”

  “Felicity!”

  “What?”

  “Didn’t you hear what your mom said to you downstairs? She said that you couldn’t go back there anymore!”

  “She did?”

  Erin stared at her. “Felicity, don’t act stupid. I know you’re not still high off of that weed and alcohol from last night.”

  Felicity laughed. “And that’s another reason why I had to stay at his house because he was washing my clothes because they reeked of weed!”

  Erin shook her head. “So, how much did you find out about this Max guy?”
