"Abuelo, I am worried. It's been forever, he should have been back ages ago, and I can't help but wonder something bad happened to him. I am sending a search party and going to look for him. I waited like you told me to but I can't anymore. I am going" Elena said
"I agree Elena, we need to go looking for him. What if he needs our help? What if something is wrong?" Lusia said
"Ok, if it helps you two in calming down your nerves go ahead, but I am sure Esteban is fine. He is not a little kid, that needs us to look after him every minute. He is a grown adult but if you two are so set on sending out a search party go ahead, I am not going to stop you anymore." Fransisco replied.
"Ok, I am going to get everything ready and go get the jaquins and ask Gabe, Mateo and Naomi to come over so we can go look for him. Good night abuelo. Good night abuela." Elena said
"Good night" Luisa and Fransisco replied.
After Elena left Luisa kept pacing around the room.
"Calm down, mi amor he is going to be fine. He is going to be back home before you know it." Fransisco said
"How am I supposed to calm down? It's the middle of the night and I have no idea where my grandson is. He just disappeared right after basically telling me that he is depressed and think that he worthless. Of course I am worried, what if he does something stupid. After what happened the past couple of days it is obvious he is not mentally stable, and now who knows where he is. How am I not supposed to be worried, tell me Fransisco." Luisa said
"I know you're scared. So am I. I am terrified. You think I am not worried. Of course I am also worried Luisa, but right now panicking is not going to help anyone we need to stay clam. And maybe we are being worried for no reason, maybe he is out with his friends like he told us and he is completely fine. Anyways, Elena has gone looking for him, and I am sure she will soon find him, and he will come back home. Right now we need to stay calm, and just wish that he comes back home soon safe and sound. Okay?" Fransisco replied.
"Okay, I guess you are right. I just want him back home safe and sound." she said
"And he will be, we just have to wait a little." Fransisco replied while embracing his wife.

Esteban's POV
The sunsets beautiful, maybe it signifies what I should do. The sunsets the ending of the day right, maybe this is the universe trying to tell me "Hey, it's time to end your day." I honestly don't even know anymore. Should I do it. Should I finally listen to the little voice in my head that has been telling me this for years. I know the voice is right. I know the world would be a better place if I do this, I won't keep hurting people I love if I do this. And now no will care, my family probably won't even ever find out what happened. For all they know I just ran away from home Everything can finally reach its place, everyone I love can be happy and I can finally be free. Free of all the pain, the suffering, the hurt, everything.
I stand up with a newfound determination I am going to do this. I look as the sun hides behind the clouds and smile. I cherish the moment because I know this is the last time I am going to see it.
