Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4
Lewis
Saturday 24th July 2010
It was almost three oâclock in the morning and we had been driving around for hours. Henryâs words had been swimming around my head since he received that phone call from his mum, âSummerâs missingâ. Missing. Summer didnât go missing. My brother, Theo, was driving slowly through the streets. It was pitch black out and the dim street lights barely lit up the fucking ground below them. We could have missed her a thousand times because we couldnât see, but I couldnât go home and do nothing.
âLewis, you okay?â Theo asked. That stupid question was shot at me about every ten minutes. Of course Iâm not fucking okay!
âNo,â I mumbled in reply. Where was she? Summer didnât run off, she wasnât the type of person to run from anything. She was strong willed and stubborn. She always stayed and sorted any problem out as soon as it happened. That was the reason we never argued for more than a few minutes, she wouldnât let it go on for long.
âWeâll find her soon, bro.â
âYeah.â I agreed with him, but I wasnât so sure. I hoped we would more than anything but there was a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that told me something had happened. I didnât ever want anything to happen to her. âShe could be anywhere by now.â It had been over seven hours since she disappeared and there wasnât one trace of her so far.
âSummer wouldnât run off,â Theo said.
My heart dropped. âThatâs what Iâm afraid of. She wouldnât run off, so someone must have her.â Or done something to her.
âDonât do that, Lewis, we donât know anything yet.â I didnât know, that was true. But I did know Summer. âDo you want to carry on and go into town or turn back and go the other way?â
âOther way.â Kerri said she had gone left at the social cub. We had checked there before coming this way, but we could have missed something.
The police had people out looking around the area where she was last seen, but because she hadnât been missing over twenty-four hours they were reluctant to put too many officers into it. Apparently, a load of neighbours had started their own search and were going door to door, hoping that someone would have seen something. Everyone except Summerâs mum, Dawn were out looking for Summer. Dawn was told to stay home in case Summer turned up or called.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked it for the millionth time â no missed calls. I sighed and held down number two, to speed dial Summerâs phone again. It started to ring and I held my breath. Please answer, Sum. My heart dropped when it went through to her voice mail. âBabe, please call me back as soon as you get this. I just need to know youâre okay. Iâm going crazy. I love you, Summer.â I hung up and clenched my phone in my hand. This is bad.
We drove through the night and into the next morning.
My eyes stung where I was so tired. As soon as the shops opened, Theo bought some food and energy drinks. I hadnât been home or to Summerâs since we got that call at the nightclub. âIâll pull over here and we can check the back fields and the park by foot,â I told Theo. He nodded, stuffing the last of his sausage roll into his mouth.
âYou sure you donât want anything to eat?â
I shook my head as I pulled up in the car park beside the church. âNot hungry. Letâs try the park first.â He nodded and got out of the car. I walked off ahead. âSummer,â I called out. Of course, she wasnât going to be here. If she were she would have been found by now.
âCome on, Theo,â I shouted over my shoulder. He didnât seem to have the urgency I had, but then, he wasnât in love with her.
