Chapter 125: Found (Tyler's POV)

(Tyler's POV)

With that, I rushed out to my car, my mind racing. Kate was either in the forest somewhere, or she'd gone to her aunt's house. It felt more likely that she would have sought the company of her aunt than headed out into the forest by herself, but I couldn't be certain. I figured I'd try her aunt's place first, and if she wasn't there, I'd try the forest.

I sped past Bailey, who was standing on the side of the road waiting for her Uber as she glared at me. I reversed back, stopping beside her as I opened the window. “Don't ever set foot in my house again. Understand?”

She scoffed with annoyance and I wanted to say more, but I wasn't going to waste any more time on her. Instead, I drove away, heading down toward Kate's aunt's house.

When I arrived, I found the front door unlocked and apprehensively made my way inside.

"Hello?" I called out, but there was no answer.

I was already giving up hope that she was here, but then I headed down the hallway and glanced into her room.
