Isn't somebody missing?

I do not own the song Evanescence does but I do own my own plot and characters

I had been home now from the hospital for about a week and there was still no sign of Eli. To tell the truth I really didn't care either. After what he had done to me I didn't want to see him for a long. Long. time.

But yet a part of me couldn't help but to wonder if he was dead. I quickly shook off that thought and grabbed the keys to Eli's truck since he left without taking it.

I need to learn to forget about him. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. Forget.

I think it's time to go and see my uncle, it's been nearly a month now and i'm sure he was craving some attention.

I walked out of the house that had once been Eli's and walked to the truck tearing out of the driveway and off onto the highway. It was way more crowded than usual and the drive that would most the time take an hour to get into town again took three hours.

I groaned in frustration and my hand found it's way to the radio and turned it on. A song by Evanescence came blasting through the speakers. My lips started forming the words to the song and my fingers drummed against the steering-wheel.

please.. please.. please...
can you stop the fire?
can you stand to fight her?
you cant stop the fire
you wont say the words

Please, please forgive me
but I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
and barely conscious you'll say to no one
isn't something missing?

You won't cry for my absence, I know
you forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me, not now
though I die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?

please.. please.. please...
can you stop the fire?
can you stand to fight her?
you cant stop the fire
you wont say the words

Please, please forgive me
but I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me, not now
though I die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?

Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me not now
though I died to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

please.. please.. please...
can you stop the fire?
can you stand to fight her?
you cant stop the fire
you wont say the words.

The words seemed to find their way off of my lips freely but I wasn't paying attention, the song seemed to bring a certain someone back into view. Eli.

My fist slammed down onto the steering-wheel and I got a little annoyed look, yeah so much for forgetting about him Ruby. Way to go.

Suddenly an uneasy feeling seemed find it's way to my body. I turned off the radio and was glad when I saw my uncles house come into view.

I threw the truck into park in the driveway and quickly ran into the house where I found my uncle to be nowhere in sight.

"Uncle John?!?" I called out through out the house, it seemed to echo.

My brow furrowed, it was unusual to have the house seem so empty.

Just as I was starting to get really worried my uncle came running through the house and pulled me into an embrace. A big grin was on his face.

"Where have you been Sunshine? Still with Eli?" He smiled, clearly oblivious.

I scratched the back of my neck lightly, he had no idea.

"Uh no Uncle John, Eli has been gone for about a week now." I cleared my throat a little as I felt the tension growing in the air.

"Really? Oh my God is he okay?"

"Uh, I wouldn't know. I just got out the hospital." I stated.

"WHY THE HELL WERE YOU IN THE HOSPITAL!" my uncle yelled

"Uh, I had an accident."

"As In a car accident?" my uncle questioned

"No, as in I got stupid." I muttered.

"Got stupid how?"

I lifted up my sleeve and allowed him to see the cut that ran from the top of my wrist to nearly my elbow.

"RUBY ADAMS! HOW COULD YOU!"

I flinched and my gaze fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry uncle really. I just. It was a moment of weakness I found out things that I could have lived forever without knowing. That and there's a lot that you don't know about." I started, my voice cracked.

"Well how about you tell me?" My uncle said as if it was the most simple thing in the world.

"I wish I could." I stated and turned towards the door.

My uncles hand stopped me, "Woah, I don't know where your going. You can't live on your own if Eli's not there with you. You have to come home."

"I'm not alone." I lied.

"Really? Then who's with you."

"Tyler." I said knowing that my uncle had a soft spot for him.

"Really? As in the Tyler that you were with when your parents-" he cut off knowing that it was a touchy topic for me.

I simply nodded.

"Good then let me meet him tomorrow."

F**k. I was up s**t's creek and I knew it. Tyler had left in a hurry after I made him pissed off. Better yet now my uncle wants to meet him and I have no way of getting in touch with him. Great. Just great.
