Chapter 47 Happily Ever After?????

• ***BEN***
• “Hailey... where the fuck are you?” I slammed the glass of rum and Coke down on the table, frustration boiling over. I was at a bar that was dimly lit, the air thick with cigarette smoke and the sound of loud music blaring in the background. But nothing can ease the anger boiling inside me. The longer she was gone, the more my anger boiled into a simmering rage that threatened to consume me. I want her with me here, and once I find her, I will make sure she can never run away from me again. I needed her by my side, no matter what it took.
• “Hey Ben, chill dude, how long are you going to whine over that girl?” The dude beside me who mouth-raised like a broken record, interrupted, his words only fueling my rage further. I clenched my fists, trying to control the overwhelming urge to lash out at him. Hailey was my everything, and I would stop at nothing to find her and make her mine forever.
