Adopted By The Sidemen

|Chapter 22|Gone...Again|

Scarlett's POV

Christmas. It was a time that most people got excited about. A time that most people dreamed about, what present will I get, will Santa come down the chimney. Me? Christmas was a time for forgetting, a time of not wanting or needing anything but a safe, warm place to live. It was a time to forget. But I'd never got that. I'd always been alone, apart from Ethan and Jamie of course, but now Jamie was gone. So you can imagine my surprise when I woke up to 7 different boys barging into my room and all shouting out "Merry Christmas"

"Same goes to you guys as well," I said and joined them in a group hug, who knows maybe Christmas won't be so bad this year.

"Let's go open gifts," Ethan said and practically dragged me down the stairs, yes I may not like Christmas, but I cared about these boys, so I got each and everyone a gift.

The guys filmed a secret Santa video and opened their gifts to each other, once they finished filming it was my turn, I had 9 gifts,

"I thought we agreed on one gift each," I said,

"Well I thought I'd spoil you, plus ones from me and ones a joint gift from everyone," I huffed and shook my head at them all,

"You boys are going to be the death of me,"

"Just open your gifts," Tobi said with a slight laugh,

From Tobi I got a new headset, from JJ I got a new mouse, from Harry I got a new keyboard, from Josh I got a new monitor, from Ethan I got a new monitor, from Vikk I got another new monitor and from Simon I got a new computer,

"I wonder what this could mean," I said sarcastically,

"Hmmmm, I wonder, maybe join us in our gaming adventures?" JJ said with a small smile,

"I'd love to," I said back,

"Right two more," Simon said and came over, "This one first," He handed me a small box, I unwrapped it and opened it and inside was a small necklace with a little heart on it,

"Simon its gorgeous," I said and kissed him on the cheek,

"I'm glad you like it," He said and gave me a quick kiss making me blush,

"I don't need to see my little sister lipsing someone thank you Simon," Ethan yelled and practically tackled Simon to the floor, maing everyone laugh.

Once we composed ourselves, I took the last present, "I told you I didn't want a lot Simon,"

"That's not from me," He said,

"Wait, so who got me this then?"

Simon's POV

She looked around at us all, but we did the same, it wasn't from any of us, "Maybe it's from Freya," Josh said,

"Yeah maybe," I replied,

She shrugged her shoulders and opened the top of the box, but when she looked inside she froze. I saw her start to tear up.

"Scarlett?" She looked up at me, sheer panic on her face,

"I, I need to go upstairs, please don't follow me," And with that she took off upstairs, we all looked around at each other, entirely confused as to what could have made her that upset.

"Who the fuck was that gift from," Ethan said raising his voice a little, everyone of us denied it being ours, which confused us even more,

"Just give her time, I'm sure she'll come down and tell us when she's ready," Vikk said,

"Yeah," I replied, we all went to the kitchen and sat down, some of us playing pool and some of us just chatting, but I had other things on my mind.

1 Hour Later

We'd moved into the back garden and were having a kick about,

"I need a piss, I'll be back in a min," Vikk said whilst jogging off,

"Check on Scarlett whilst you're there its been a while and I'm worried," Josh said,

"Yeah course," He said and went in,

"I hope she's alright," I said, not at anyone, but more too myself,

"I think we all do," Harry said, which surprised me, the others just kind of nodded there heads in agreement,

"Hey," We all looked at the back door to see Freya walking outside, "Ooo, why do you all look so depressed then," She said again and gave Josh a quick hug,

"Somethings up with Scarlett, she basically shit herself after she opened a present earlier and we still don't know who it's from,"

"Vikk's just gone to check on her,"

"Oh no, I hope she's alright, bless her," I smiled at her and she sad smiled back, but our small interaction was interrupted by an extremely out of breath Vikk basically screaming, "She's gone,"
"What do you mean," I shouted back,

"She's not in her room or her bathroom or the house, she's just not here,"

"Check the whole house," Ethan said worriedly and ran straight inside, I ran straight up to her room, I checked every inch of her closet and of her bathroom, and she wasn't there, but one of her bags and a bunch of her clothes were missing, "FUCK," I shouted as I walked out her room, I turned and punched the closest wall as hard as possible, "What, what's wrong," Tobi said and jogged up to me, I slumped against the wall and sighed,

"She's fucking gone Tobi, she packed a bag and she's left,"

"Shit," He let out and looked around worriedly, "I'll head out and start looking okay," I nodded my head and he went to find a few of the other to go with him,

It ended up being him, JJ, Josh, Freya and Ethan, they all left the house together to start looking whilst me, Harry and Vikk stayed back just incase.

"Did you check everywhere in her room?" Vikk said,

"Yes, 'm not stupid,"

"Her closet?"

"Yep,"

"Bathroom?"

"Yes,"

"Your room?"

"Tobi checked,"

"Okay, so what about her... I don't know, her bed maybe,"

"Well no, but hows that supposed to help,"

"I don't know, but its worth a fucking look isn't it Simon," He said angrily and pushed past me, I followed him in,

"Simon are you fucking kidding me," He said sounding slightly more angry as we realised that the box was open on top of her bed, he pulled it down and we looked inside to see a not taped to the bottom.

I told you not to open your mouth you bitch, you think you had it bad, just you wait sweetheart, I'll end you and those boys
