Chapter 38 - Twitter

*Random Fan Living in Sydney's POV*

My parents had the news on, and I was just sitting on the couch, scrolling through Twitter. Suddenly, I hear the name "Chloe Walters" on the news. That's Ashton's fiancé. I tell my parents to wind it back a little for me, and they do.

"Chloe Walters, 18, has been kidnapped, as told by her four-year-old daughter. The little girl says that a man came into the house and ran after her mum. She heard their dog barking a lot also, but she went up to her room, instructed by her mum. Their boxer had a piece of the man's pants in its mouth. An investigation has been started to find her. This is the second time she has been kidnapped in the last six months. Many know Chloe as the fiancé of drummer Ashton Irwin from 5 Seconds of Summer, currently on tour with One Direction-" I paused it right there.

At the bottom of the screen, it said, "Chloe Walters of Sydney goes missing". I took a picture and tweeted it, saying, "everyone, please RT! @ashton5sos needs to see this!!"

Thankfully, within an hour, over one hundred people retweeted it. Other people were tweeting about it too. It was blowing up. I was glad it was going everywhere. Surely, Ashton was seeing it.

*Ashton's POV*

I was scrolling through my Twitter notifications in the morning because I got thousands of them within a half an hour. They were mostly saying the same thing: Chloe was kidnapped. There were pictures of it on the news. I needed to get home, and fast.

I told the boys about it before rushing to quickly pack all of my stuff up into my bags. I made my way to the airport as fast as I could. Even if Chloe was mad at me, she needed me.

After I got off of the plane twenty hours later in Sydney, I left for the house. It was soon time for Kaely to get home, so I got her off of the bus and left straight for the police department.

We talked in the way there. She told me that while I was away, Chloe would cry at her phone randomly. Maybe she just missed me? Or maybe she was pissed at me? I didn't know. Neither did Kaely, but she told me that Chloe was saying about being mad at me all of the time. What did I do, though? I didn't do anything wrong, did I? There weren't any photoshopped pictures out, were there? Hopefully not.

I answered every single question the police asked me about Chloe. They even asked me what I was doing yesterday. I told them I was in London, to ask one of the other boys or Adam. I don't know why I'd be a suspect. I guess they have to ask everyone. They told me they had already started trying to find her. They had also asked Kaely to describe the man. As she described him, the only person that came to mind was Trenton. Trenton Kline.

I told the police that, and they did a search on him. He was arrested in high school for drugs, but he was let out of jail two years ago. The thing that I hated was that he seemed to be a nice guy when I went to talk to him the last time Chloe went missing. Never trust people, though.

After we left the police station, I made my way to Chloe's parents' house. When they saw me with Kaely, they ran out.

"Ashton, what are you doing home? You weren't supposed to be home until tomorrow!" Travis exclaimed.

"You didn't know?" I asked him. He shook his head no, along with Audrey asking, "what happened?"

"Chloe was.. She was kidnapped, again," it was hard for me to say.

"What!?" They both were shocked.

"It's everywhere. I'm surprised you haven't seen it on tv!"

"Well, I didn't know because I haven't talked to her since yesterday. I was making sure she didn't need me to get Kaely after school. She told me no and nothing else. I just figured she would be getting Kaely from school for the next week or two while on break."

"Well, it was on the news a few times yesterday. Fans saw it and tweeted me. I'm so worried. She's with Trenton," I told them.

"What?!"

"Yeah. Kaely described him. It's Trenton."

"He seemed really nice, though."

"Never trust anyone anymore."

"Did they start looking for her?"

"They told me they've been searching. And it's all because Kaely called 000," I smiled at Kaely. She smiled back.

On April 24, five days after Chloe went missing and four days after I got home, I was at Chloe's house with Kaely. We were watching a cartoon, and the phone rang. Every time the phone rang in the past four days, I got really excited. I wanted it to be the police every time. This time, it was.

I picked it up, really excited to hear if they found her or not. When I picked up, they asked me if I was Ashton Irwin, and after I told them yes, they gave me the news.

"Well, Mr. Irwin, it seems that we have some bad news," he started. That was never what I wanted to hear.

"And what would that be?" I asked.

"We have found a dead body off of the side of the road.."
