Chapter 2
Day 10
�Hey Serenity, I know this must be like my 100th call or something, but I really need to talk to you. Just at least pick up the phone to say your okay or that your alive or something. I know I must sound like the saddest guy ever right now but, I just want to talk to you. Is that so bad? Listen, baby...� His voice became softer and a little above a whisper �...I�m sorry about the stuff I said before you left. You know I didn�t mean any of it...I don�t think of you like that. Really, I don�t. I was just mad and upset, ya know? And I just said it all in anger, I�m sorry. Baby you know I would never do anything to hurt you, God Serenity...I love you. I�m so sorry, and if I could take it all back I would. I�ll do anything to make it up to you. I wish you would come home so I could show you how sorry I am. It�s not even that though, I miss you so much. I just...just want to hear your voice. You know today I realized when I woke up this morning, I�ve never gone more then three days without hearing your voice. And today will be like, ten. Even when I was on tour I could always at least hear your voice over the phone. Serenity I realize your probably trying to teach me a lesson here and I just want you to know I get it.
I get it very, very well. I promise you...more then promise, I pledge to you I�ll be home more. I�ll take you everywhere I go if you want. I�ll be there more, and I�ll care more, and I�ll love you more. I�ll do whatever you want me to do. I�ll be the best boyfriend ever. I just want to hear from you and I want you to come back....� AJ then was cut off by the answering machine. �Home� He finished his sentence.
He could hear the sound of a loud beep, follow. He then hung the phone up and slouched back into his couch. This was the 3rd message he had left Serenity today. Yesterday he had left 5 all together. He flipped his TV on and turned through the channels. But nothing good seemed to be on. He had tried to track Serenity down. He started to hang out in the spots that she had hung out in and go to the stores and shopping centers where she shopped. He had even tried calling her father but he told him that he couldn�t tell him where she was.
Serenity had made him promise to keep her where a bouts a secret. The only thing he could say was that she was alive and well.
More then anything he just hated not knowing. Not knowing where she was, what she was doing, or who she was with. He missed how they use to share there days with each other. Most of all he hated how quiet the house was. Whenever he went somewhere and came back home the silence would be there. It would be there to remind him that he was alone and that she was gone. It would be there to remind him what a looser he was and how he had messes up his life again. It was like the quiet was mocking him. And the worse thing of all was that there was nothing he could do about it...nothing at all.
