Shannon's POV

It was late in the afternoon, and Daisy I decided to relax for today. The passed two months were rough. The paparazzi were focused heavily on Daisy trying to figure out who she was, and a number of times Daisy was almost injured trying to get away from them.

We laid in bed watching movies, and talking. It was a simple thing, and I enjoyed it, but something was missing. At the back of my mind I knew what it was, but I didn't want to dwell on it.

Daisy kissed my shoulder and ran her fingers through my hair. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," I said smoothing down her wild hair.

"Yes there is. You're making that face again."

"What face?"

"This face." She squinted pulling her eyebrows together and slightly pursed her lips.

I laughed and playfully thumped her on the nose.

She smiled and brought her lips up to meet mine. I rolled over so I was on top of her and kissed her neck.

Her hand traveled down my chest to the hem of my shirt.

I suddenly felt strange. There had been a constant nagging feeling that I felt for the passed two months, and it was always followed by the thought of Talia.

I got off Daisy and grabbed my phone. I unblocked Talia's number. No sooner than that I was receiving a call. I picked it up horrified.

"Thanks for blocking my number, jackass! In case you haven't noticed, Raven has been missing for two months now! Oh wait I'm sure you don't even care! If you did you would have known, and you would be here!" Talia's voice was raging and I could hear the tears she was fighting back.

"Talia, talk to me. What happened?" I was rushing to my laptop and booking the soonest flight to Portland.

"Is something wrong?" Daisy stood up worriedly and walked to me.

"She was fired from Jax's and from what I understand she was really depressed. I talked to the girls and Venus was the last one to see her. She said that two months ago she thought she saw her walking on the streets in a bad neighborhood. I tried calling her, but her phone has been cut off. I just got back from a mountain in China, and I've been looking for her nonstop! I've posted flyers and filed for missing persons! God!" Talia began crying hysterically.

"Shannon, if you're going back I'm going back with you," Daisy said standing behind me. "Raven may not have liked me, but regardless she is my family. Dancers stick together." Daisy began to pack our things.

"Talia, I'll be there in 7 hours," I said before I hung up the phone. I purchased two tickets then hurried to help Daisy pack. The plane was boarding in an hour, so we only packed one large suitcase with a few outfits each and tossed our essentials into one carryon.

Once we were packed I carried our luggage to the car. We quickly got in drove off without a second thought of what we were leaving behind.

When we boarded our flight I felt horrible. I wasn't there. I should have been there, and now Raven is nowhere to be found. The wounds that I tried so hard to repair were opening up again. I looked over at Daisy as she stared out the window of the plane and could tell she felt the same.
