Sorry for the delay stay safe and enjoy the next few chapters  


I was pacing the room, muttering frantically in Spanish.

"Babe, you need to calm down, it's going to be alright" Miles said for what felt like the hundredth time.

"Alright! You call that alright, he just picked her up and he didn't even hesitate, he just- he" I cut myself off.

"What is it?" Alaina asked, "we need to save her" I said, "I don't care if I die trying", "yes, but we do" said Miles.

"I can't let her end up like Alaina did, spending her whole childhood living a fake identity", before anyone could say anything I turned to Maria, "can you track that little girl?" I asked, "I can, but it will be through that HNS member" she replied.

"I honestly don't care, I just need to save her," I told Maria.

She nodded and turned around "Charlie, start tracking that HNS member", "sure thing boss" he called back.

"You should now go home and rest" said Maria "that's an order", I didn't feel like arguing with her, "ok, I will just promise me you will tell me when you have a location on that girl, that's all I ask" I said, "cross my heart and hope to die" she said "I promise".

Once again we left the training center and drove home, leaving us to wonder how many times we'd been to the training centre this month.

Even at home I couldn't sleep, I was just walking around the house, crying and praying that that little girl was alright.

"Ok, that's it" said Miles, "I'm taking her to that party", "no you're not" said Ben, Miles looked at him "try and stop me" he said bitterly.

"Celine, get on something nice, we're going to a party" said Miles, "why?" I asked, "because you need to get out of the house, and there is a party downtown that I want to take you to" he replied, "but-" I started, "no buts! I am sick of listening to you worry, you need to forget about everything for a while and enjoy yourself" he said.

He then stood up, grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me down to my bedroom.

15 minutes later, I came out wearing denim shorts, a black sequin crop top and over the knee heels.

"You look incredible," my boyfriend said, offering me his hand. I really wanted to slap it away and make a snarky comment, but I just took his hand and let him lead me out to the car.

"We'll be back shortly" he called to the others, who were curled up together on the couch.

"No funny business!" I told them, "we'll make sure to do a lot of that!" Ben yelled back as we shut the door.

I ripped the finger at him through the window and let Miles open the car door for me.

We drove through the streets and past fancy looking houses.

He finally parked the car in front of a two story house.

"I think you'll feel less awkward at this party" he whispered in my ear, making me turn my head and fall for his trap, he kissed me, I leaned into him and let him nip my bottom lip.

"I thought we were here to party" I said pulling away from him, "normally at a party, people make out" he said, placing his hand on my thigh, I smacked his wrist, rolled my eyes and got out of the car.

"Hey wait up!" he said running after me, I had opened the door and was blinded by bright lights and deafened by loud music.

"Oh my god! Celine, Miles, you made it!" came a familiar voice, I turned around to see Violet, she was holding a glass of punch and looked amazing in her short skirt and blood red crop top.

"Violet, nice to see you" I said walking towards her and giving her a hug.

I scanned the room, I could see Eva and Elizabeth making out in the corner, they were so perfect together and it was about time.

Adien, Liam and Noah, talking and spinning a bottle with Rueben, Oliver, James and a few other guys I didn't recognise.

"Enjoy the party" she told us, "and I think we're playing spin the bottle later, so if you want to join in, come and tell me.

She left us, and we walked towards the dance floor. Miles looked at me, "wanna dance?" he asked "isn't that why we came?" I replied.

We danced for an hour, before I decided I wanted a drink.

He took me by the hand and led me to the drinks table.

I picked up a cup of punch and raised it to my lips, gulping it down, I made a face, "what?" Miles asked, "I think someone spiked the punch with alcohol" I told him, I shrugged "oh well" and I took another drink.

I ended up slightly drunk, if Miles hadn't been there I would have collapsed completely.

I was walking around dragging Miles with me, "that's a wall" he said, pulling me away and stopping me from hitting it.

I turned around to face him, smiling uncontrollably, "what?" he asked, "nothing" I replied.

He kissed me again, and I laughed against his mouth pulling him closer and wrapping my arms around the back of his neck.

We stayed there for a while, kisses becoming faster and more intense with every second, he cupped my waist with his hands, his body fitting perfectly against mine.

"We. Should. Go" I said as he kissed me, "but. Why?" He said, still kissing me, "I. Want. To. Stay", I pushed him away, "come on" I said, giggling, "lets got", he pressed his lips against mine, they were hot and fast, I could feel how desperate he was. I pushed him away again, "come on" I said again grabbing his hand yelling "goodbye" to Violet and getting back into the car.

He drove us home, focusing completely on traffic. I think he was slightly annoyed that I cut off our make out session.

He parked the car and carried me inside, we walked into the living room to find Ben and Alaina making out on the couch.

"I said no funny business!" I yelled at them, and they got such a fright they fell off the couch and onto the floor, "is she drunk?" Ben asked, getting up and dusting himself off, "yes she is" replied Miles, "someone spiked the punch at the party", "well that was always going to happen" said Alaina who was desperately trying to pull her top on.

"She's going to be hungover in the morning so I better get her to bed" Miles said, "see you guys in the morning" and with that he turned around and headed to my bedroom.

It was 1am and I woke up, feeling a swirling sensation in my stomach.

I got out of bed and ran to the bathroom, not knowing Miles was following me.

I opened the door and dashed to the toilet.

I opened the lid and threw up, all the punch from last night sloshing in the bowl, Miles came up behind me and pulled my hair away from my face, while rubbing my back.

"That's it, let it all out" said Miles, "I told you not to drink heaps, but no don't listen to me", I straightened up flushing the toilet and closing the lid, "last time I check, I don't listen to anyone" I replied, walking over to the sink to wash my hands.

We were both silent, so silent we could hear mine phone ringing in the distance.

I left the bathroom in a hurry and ran to answer it.

It was Maria. I picked it up, "hey Maria, why so early?" I asked, 'you told me to ring you as soon as I got a location on the girl, did you not?" she replied, "you do!" I said "I'll be right over and we'll start the search", and I hung up the phone, turning to Miles to tell him about the phone call.
