Valentina White POV

Numb...

That's what I am feeling...that's what I have been feeling like for the past twelve hours.

Twelve hours.

And we have no idea where she is...

Since I got that text from Alexander that he has River...my River and she is in pain...

Because of me...it's all my fault.

If I wasn't in her life she would have been safe and not in danger of losing her life.

I am no good for her.

I should let her go after this...she will be happier.

"Don't you dare!" I snap my head up to see Amelia entering the room and standing in front of me with her arms crossed.

I rolled my eyes.

"Don't I dare, what?" I asked.

She scoffed.

"Women I have known you longer than anyone in this house and I know what you are thinking right now. You are blaming yourself for what happened and thinking you are no good for her!" She said glaring at me.

I looked away.

"Whatever. It's True."

She sighed before sitting beside me and taking my hand in hers.

"Val, look at me." I didn't.

"Val, please..." I didn't.

"Valentina White look at me." She said sternly.

I looked at her and huffed.

"Why did you have to use my name like that!?"

She smirked.

"I got you to listen, didn't I?"

I rolled my eyes before signaling her to continue.

"Val, I met you when we were twelve and I was transferred to your orphanage and we have been friends ever since! I know you better than you know yourself just like you know me. But there is one thing I never told anyone not our friends, you, or even Laura! I don't think I ever will!"

"Why?"

She chuckled.

"Because I don't want my girlfriend to commit murder."

I raised a brow.

"Why would she? What happened?" I asked, now concerned.

"Well, I was 10 and it was my 6...no 8th foster home and I have been there the longest, 3 months. I was so goddamn happy thinking that this couple might just adopt me not realizing that if they did it would be the worst thing to happen in my life...their names were Clark and Olivia...

Olivia was great she always took care of me, made me great food, played with me...she...she...was like a mom. But Clark he wasn't the sweet dad I thought he...he...always touched me inappropriately, he stood in my room while I changed...it was by the end of my 4th month there that Olivia noticed what was happening and called the police on her husband and got me transferred to your orphanage for a change of scenery.

I asked her why didn't she adopt me. She said that every time she looked at me she felt guilty for not seeing what was happening, for not seeing what a monster her husband was...she wanted to but couldn't." She stopped and wiped her eyes which were glistening with tears.

She took a deep breath before continuing.

"The worst part was that I didn't even realize what was happening...I have never been in a foster home for more than a...month, so I thought that what he was doing was perfectly normal. But after I went to the therapist and realized what he was doing was disgusting! I felt...dirty...but I with time realized that I should NOT feel like that and that he is in jail paying for his crimes.

A few weeks after I got the courage to go meet other people, and make friends...I have been there for 2 years and I barely knew anybody! I was mostly sad or angry for two years and didn't want to talk to other people. But when I did, I met you my first best friend."

I wiped a few tears that fell on her face.

"Why did you tell me this?" I asked even though I already knew...I needed to hear it.

"I told you this because this is what you needed to hear. To realize that River's kidnapping wasn't your fault! It's him and he will be punished for it!" She said softly as she stroked my cheek.

I nodded as I kissed her cheek.

"I understand and thanks for telling me that."

She smiled before hugging me tightly.

"But I still don't understand why you can't tell Laura, I mean it's not like she will actually kill him!" I said confused.

She chuckled as she pulled back.

"Let me change my earlier statement. I don't want my girlfriend to commit murder...again." She winked at last.

I gasped.

"Seriously!?" I asked shocked.

She sighed.

"Yup, it was before we met but she told me about it once...you know pillow talk!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Of course, pillow talk! Totally normal topic!" I said before both of us burst out laughing.

I know what other people might think that laughing isn't exactly the reaction when you learn that your best friend's girlfriend has killed someone but truthfully he or she must have deserved it...I am not saying this because of Laura, I barely know her! But I know my best friend if she is still with her then she must have had a DAMN good reason!

"We will find her, right Sleepyhead?"

"Of course, Val. We will." Just as she said that Laura burst into the room.

"I found her!"

We both stood up ready to go.

I saw Amelia opening her mouth but I gave her one of my death stares which said 'if try to stop me from going I will bury you alive!' She closed her mouth before following me out of the room.

*SLAM*

The door slammed down when Ben and Jorden kicked it down.

I audible loud gasp left my lips when I saw the scene in front of me.
