Matt's Pov
"After we ate we fell back to sleep for a while and we started the search again about 9:00. My last hope of him being here is the secret spot."

"Please be here at the secret spot" Riley says.
"We just have to wait" I say still driving.
"I know" she says looking out the window.
"Just be positive" I tell her holding her hand.
"I'm trying" she says.
I nod watching her every so often, I mean I hate seeing her like this.

"Were almost there" I say as my phone goes off. "Can you check to see who it is?" I ask her.
"Ok" she looks at it. "Its Bri" she says.
"Put it on speaker" I say.
She presses the button.
"Matt where are you?" Bri says.
"We're both out driving" I say hoping he won't ask.
"We have practice this afternoon" he says.
"I know" I reply.
"What's going on?" He asks.
"Jimmy is missing" I blurt out.
"What!?!?" He's practically shouting.
"He left early this morning and we've been looking since 3:30" I say pulling in.
"What happened?" he asks.
"Its a long story" I say.
"Fuck" he says.
"We'll find him" I tell him reassuringly.
"Alright" he says hanging up.

We start walking.
"I'm guessing he's pissed" Riley says quietly.
"Not really" I say.
"Mmmm and besides its my fault" she says.
She is really beating herself up over this.
"He's mad at me as well" I tell her.
"I guess" she says quietly.
We reach the secret spot.
"Fuck, he's not here either" I say frustrated.
"So he's my long lost brother again" she says breaking down.
"I'm not giving up" I say wrapping my arms around her.
She just cries more.
