CHAPTER 84 LUKE The tires screeched as I took the corner way too fast, the car almost fishtailing before I brought it back under control. My knuckles were white on the steering wheel, and my heart pounded in my chest. If I can't find her... I don't even want to think about it.

Josh was in the passenger seat, his phone pressed to his ear, but all I could focus on was the road ahead, the need to get to Jess and Laura overriding every other thought.

Josh dropped the phone onto his lap, his face pale but determined. "The police are at the house with Sam. She shared the location with them, and a squad car is going to meet us there." "Good," I muttered, my voice strained a little. I just wanted to get there already.

I punched the gas pedal harder, the engine roaring in response.

"Luke, slow down, man," Josh snapped, gripping the door handle as I swerved to avoid a slower car in front of us. "It won't help anyone if we end up dead in a wreck before we even get there." I clenched my teeth, anger and fear churning inside me, but I knew he was right. I eased off the gas, just a little, enough to keep the car under control but still pushing us toward the CHAPTER 4 pinned location as fast as I could There was an awkward silence between us. My mind was racing, running through every possible scenario, each one worse. than the last. What if we were too late? What if- "She's going to be okay," Josh sald suddenly, breaking the silence.

I glanced over at him, confused. What?" Josh sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. "Jess. She's strong, Luke. She's going to be okay. So will Laura they have to be." Josh stared out the window.

I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, not sure what to say. The thought of Jess being hurt, scared, or worse... it was like a knife twisting in my gut., "If it's Bryan..." I muttered but stopped because it would be better if Josh didn't know.

Josh took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. "I've been a fucking shit mate," he said, his voice low. "I didn't notice... I didn't see it. I get it. I made you make that fucking useless promise that made no sense. I get why you didn't tell me." I frowned, glancing at him again. "What are you talking about?" "Cut the crap, Luke," Josh snapped, turning to face me. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You love Jess. And I was too much of an asshole to realize I love Laura until I lost her." His words hitlike a punch to the gut. I opened my mouth to 07:58 deny it, to tell him he was wrong, but the words wouldn't come. Because he wasn't wrong. He'd never been more right in his life.

"Josh-" I started, but he shook his head, cuttingoff.

"Don't. Just... don't," Josh said, his voice rough. "I've been blind, man. Too caught up in my own shit to see what was happening right in front of me. But now... now I see it. And I need you to promisesomething." I swallowed hard, the weight of his words pressing down onlike a physical force. "What?" "When we get them back... when we get Jess and Laura back... you don't waste any more time. You tell her. Because she deserves someone who's willing to fight for her, and if you don't, I might fucking kick your ass myself. Hell, I'm the only one who stands a chance of d I didn't know what to say because he was right. I'd been hiding from my feelings for Jess for so long, afraid of what it would mean, afraid of ruining everything.

"I can't go there right now, man. Let's just get them back..." I could not even go there right now.

"It's here," Josh said suddenly, and I pulled over. I killed the engine.

We both jumped out of the car, slamming the doors shut as we hurried to the side of the road.

'Jess! Laura!" Josh called out, his voice strained as he ran toward the edge of the road. His voice echoed into the stillness, but there was no reply. I followed him, my heart pounding in my CHAPTER 84 1298 Wouchers chest as I scanned the area for any sign of them.

Josh's phone pinged with the location again, and we both looked at it, trying to make sense of the pin on the map make sense "Phas to to be around here," I said, frustration creeping into my voice. "They have to be close." "Jess!" I yelled into the darkness. "Con, Jess! Laura!" His voice was hoarse, a mix of desperation and fear. He stumbled over something in the grass and cursed under his breath, dropping to his knees to search the ground.

I kept moving, scanning the area with the flashlight from my phone, my pulse racing. Every second felt like an eternity. Where the hell were they? The thought that we might be too late gnawed at me, making it hard to think straight.

Finally, I heard Josh shout, "I found it!" My heart leaped as I rushed over to where he was crouched near the edge of the road. He was holding up alphone-Laura's phone. The screen was cracked, but the GPS was still active. "Fuck," I breathed out, my hands shaking. No sign of Jess or Laura
