Hey my name is Owen  Balor. I'm seventeen years old. At this time I'd like to tell you a bit about myself.  I am the son of Chantal and Luke Balor.I don't have any sibling unless you count my cousin Aria. Ari and I have grown up together.Because our parents have important roles in the family company ( Gallows Enterprise) it resulted in them not being  home a whole lot when we were younger, So we spent a lot of time with our grandma. We never really understood why are parents had to leave a lot  on business trips. As we got older we understood that the work they did in the long run will help  provide for our future. Both Ari and I  work part time in the family business. Aria is a fashion designer with her mother. I am a computer tech. I find out statistics, background checks for new employees and  product advertising. 

( Morning after the party)

I woke up and did my morning routine.  I didn't have work today so I decided I'd practice for the audition.that was coming up this week. I went down to the basement where all my music equipment is.  I grabbed my drum sticks and went to my drums. I decided I'd start with the easier of the two Day Drinking by Little Big Town . I was about to start  the song I chose We Own It by  Wiz Khalifa & 2 chainz.  When I felt my phone vibrate.I turned the screen on to see that the message was from Aria. I briefly skimmed the message over before placing my phone back on the chair next to me. I was halfway through the second song when my phone vibrated again. I opened my phone to see the message was from my uncle.

Uncle V

If you're  not busy could you  please go to the office there's some applications that I'd like done by Monday. Ps: stick around  when your done,I have something I'd like to ask you and Ari.

I shut my equipment off before heading to the office.  I quickly responded to my texts as I headed towards the front entrance. When I got there I punched in my employee id code as I went to my assigned area. Unlike most people I actually don't hate my job. In Fact I enjoy it, It's a great environment to work in, a great staff and the job itself is quite interesting at times. 

I grabbed the pile of applications and turned on the computer .When I do the background checks. I use this program that's a human database that contains people's information. You punch people's names and a folder of personal information comes up. If it's a real common name it's more difficult than having a unique name that no one has ever heard of. In that case you search up keywords ( Location and Birthdate).  I was just about done all the applications when I heard footsteps. 

" I thought I'd find you here" Aria said taking a seat beside me. " What do you want?" I barked concentrating on my work." Have you talked to Scarlet today?" she asked. " Yes I have tried but she hasn't responded to me, no thanks to you?" I exclaimed angrily.  " Hey! don't blame me for your problems " Ari exclaimed. " Answer me this Ari , wasn't it  you that  tried to set me up with your friend Sarah?,  wasn't it  you who from the start  tried to break Scarlet and I up ? " I questioned turning my chair around facing her." Yes I did try to set you up with Sarah, and last night I'll admit what I said  to Scarlet was totally uncalled for. The only reason I tried to break the two of you up is to protect you, I don't want you to get hurt" Aria exclaimed sympathetically  moving her chair so we were sitting across from each other. " I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone off on you like that , I just can't lose Hanna she's my world and I don't know what I'd do without her " I choked trying to keep my composure.  " Why do you think you'd lose her, She crazy about you, If it will make any difference I'll apologize for what I said" " Thanks but you're not entirely to blame" I explained. 

" What a surprise to see both of you here together"  A voice cheered. " Hey daddy " Aria smiled.  " We weren't interrupting were we " Auntie Becky asked. " Nothing that we can't finish later " I said smiling at Aria. " So how's the applications going?" Uncle Victor asked seeing the pile of documents that were put in the approved pile.  " Only  5 more" I replied lifting up the remaining files. " Hey babe can I talk to the kids in private?" Uncle victors smiled at Auntie Becky " Of course, I have to check on something anyways" she smiles exiting the office." What's up?" both Ari and I questioned as Uncle Victor took a chair sitting in front of us. " Dean Bingham seems like a really nice guy" Uncle Victor said looking at Ari then at me " Yea sure you can say that" I chuckled " What do you mean?" Uncle victor  questioned " What Owen means is yea he's a real nice guy, if you actually know him" Ari explained. " You two aren't friends with him?" he said looking puzzled ." Yea  he's in our classes, but we don't really know a whole lot about him" Aria added. " Alrighty,  I'll let you get back to work " Uncle Victor smiled walking out of the office.

" Ari" I called as she was about to exit the office." Yea" she replied stopping at the door and looking back at me. " What exactly did you text me about?"  I asked staring at the keyboard " I was going to tell you, that I saw Dean with Scarlet" she explained taking a seat showing me the picture on her phone." Your dad is right about Dean" " What do you mean ?" She questioned helping me go though the applications " What do we know about  him? , He could be a fake for all we know" I explained as we went through the second last file."I don't know, he seems too nice to be fake. He must be a  nice guy if  Hanna's taking an interest in him" She said stamping the last file. " We're done, let's go" Aria smiled putting her chair back " Not exactly there's one more person I want to check out" I declared. " Well ok, don't work too late. Remember my place at 10 for practice" Aria said giving me a hug before she left.

I sat there for a good few minutes contemplating what I should do. I clicked on the icon and the search page came up. I typed Dean Bingham in the search bar. A few minutes later the page came back up with thousands of individuals from here to New york. " Wow thats a popular name " I laughed. I decided I'd punch in some keywords to limit the list of people. Age: 18," Where is he from" I thought to myself " Calgary" I said remembering telling Hanna and I we're he was from. I punched the two keywords in.

I got up to go get a drink of water. As I was making my way back to the desk my phone vibrated.

Scar <3

Hey, I want to talk about us, Phone me when you get this please.

I looked at the message as tears built up in my eyes I went to shut the computer off but the screen was blank. I refreshed the page about 3 times. I checked to make sure I punched the info in correctly. Finally a notification appeared on the screen that read Match not found." If you're not Dean then,who the hell are you" I growled staring at the empty web page.
