Chapter 19

(A month later)

I slowly but surely embraced the FBI agent, who was reassuring everyone that the plane crash was an accident and that sadly, they will not continue the search party.

It's actually been a month, a hole month of me having to live in with Ella's mother, daily check-ins with my brother and mother, not seeing or hearing off my father as he was two busy working.

I've managed to spend my term, all worth while. I caught up with school work, managed to chill with the boys again, hanged out with Morgan and Kayleigh. The only thing missing was her. Everything else was back to normal again, me being in Evergreen and being the teenager that I want to be.

The one who does whatever he wants and doesn't follow his father. The one who is completely captivated in the world he lives in and what is going on around him.

The teen, who fell harder for anyone in his hole life. Yet, the one person who he was utterly and utmost surely in love with... wasn't here. Even though, his body, his soul, his presence was in Evergreen, his mind was elsewhere picturing together what it would of been like if she was here. My heart being stolen from me, and out there somewhere, either dead or struggling.

"The search party has been out there for 30 days, no such plane wreck has been found. We are not putting our men out there in danger. I'm sorry to say that-", people however, detested. Some shouting and some two in their own worlds crying.

I managed to find my voice, and use it, even though the lump in my throat was actually choking me slowly and silently. "You can't just leave them out there, they are hoping for you to bring them back, they could still be alive." "The numbers, of that being true, I'm sorry boy, but thats unlikely." As he turns away, i continue with the courage that I have, "but it's not impossible".

He stopped and turns to face me, giving me a gentle smile. "I really am sorry, but it's already been a month. We would of found them by now don't you think." I coughed, clearing my dry throat as he taps my shoulder, giving me a sympathetic smile as he walks away.

However with my attempts of stopping him, and him carrying on walking away, I gave in, I screamed at him, with all the urge I had to just combust on the floor. "No, no please, please you got to listen to me, there's a baby on there." He stopped once again.

Everyone now staring at me, Ella's mum embracing me and comforting me, which I need now more then ever. The agent storms towards me, "there's a baby on that plane, answer me." I hesitated then began to talk.

"Yeah, shes mine. Her and her mother were meant to come back here from America. She's, she's one." The agent sighed down at me, "what is her name, the both of them actually. What are their names." "Ella and Bay, Bays the baby." "And how old is Ella," he questioned me, I took another sigh and chocked out, "she's 17."

The agent looked around, seeing now unhopeful crowds of people, before he got everyone's attention he nods his head in my direction. "Okay everyone, I'll keep the search party going."

My smile came back, hopeful once again, everyone clapped and hugged. I for once, began to smile again. Maybe there is hope, wherever it is. Agent Michelle was on the case.

The teams were back at it, searching lands of islands within the boundaries of America to Evergreen. Us, just hoping that our loved ones were okay.

But even if they were, so many questions were left unsaid. How are they even alive is one of them. How are they eating, drinking, surviving. Is there food and water where they are, are they hurt.

I cant bring myself to think of the possibility's of them being dead, or dying, or not ever being found. No, they have to be alive, they must be alive, i can feel it in my bones. It keeps me going. It ignites my body, they are alive out there, i just know it.
