Broken Into Darkness

Chapter 20 Raymond!

When I got home, I was feeling excited to rush home to see Bella. On my way home I stopped at a store to buy her some roses, they aren't black ones. I wish I could have gotten her black ones. When I walked to her room I got this deep gut feeling in the pit of my stomach that something bad happened. I have got to be losing it, Bella is fine she will be sleeping. I opened her door to the room she was sleeping in, I did not want to turn on the lights just in case she was sleeping. I walked over to the bed laying her roses on the bedside table. I turned to wake her when I realized the bed was empty. Where is she? I turned on the lamp, I pulled out my phone to call her. It rang and rang then eventually went to her voicemail.

I started to have an uneasy feeling, I need to see Catlin! Maybe she will know where Bella is or maybe Bella is with her. So I got up walking down the hall to Catlin's room. I knocked on the door hoping she is still awake.

She opened the door confused to see me, " Uh hey!"

"Is Bella with you?"

Please say yes, but I knew the answer before she said it.

"No."

"Do you know where she is?"

"She is in bed, she told me she was going to bed, I watched her go to bed."

"She is not in her room."

"She isn't?"

I shook my head no. She froze, she walked fast out of her room. I was definitely confused of where she was going. She ran up the stairs going to the room across from my mother's room, Bonnie's room. Catlin knocked on the door, no one answered. She looked worried, so she opened the door, "Bonnie!" She said, walking into the room.

The room was empty as if no one was staying here. I swear she had stuff in here. My mother helped carry her stuff to this room. My heart dropped, I knew something bad happened to Bella, I can feel it. Fuck I should have never left her alone. Catlin ran back to her room so fast, I followed her of course. If she had any idea where Bella was I want to know. She picked up her phone calling someone.

Whoever she called answered, "Mary did you send Bonnie and Bella to a job tonight?"

She waited for a response from their boss. Catlin looked really confused. "What do you mean? You sent Bella, Bonnie, and myself out here to California."

She put her phone on speaker so I could hear what is going on, "Catlin, I am sorry I don't know what you are talking about. I did not send you guys out there. Bonnie has not worked for me in two years."

"Mary she was here, you sent us out here to clean. Now Bella is missing and so is Bonnie."

"What? Bella is missing? I swear that was not me, I can not afford something like that."

"Shit, I have to go."

She hung up the phone, that can not be good. Who the fuck was in our house. So that was really Shelly that Julie said. I ran out of the room, I looked at my phone to see when the last time I talked to her. It was after nine and then I pulled up the footage on my phone, what I saw made me sick to my stomach. I called Simon and Ethan for them to get to the house now. Shit Julie is literally going to kill me for not keeping Bella safe. I fucked up everything, I was supposed to be the one to keep her safe and I couldn't even do that. I could not hold my legs up, I sat down on the bed.

"You okay?" Catlin asked.

I shook my head no, "Something happened to Bella i can feel it and it is all my fault."
