Ethan's P.O.V

Weak. Dark. Confused. Scared. My brain rumbled with thoughts and emotions. I had no vision with a bag over my head and no strength with my arms and legs tied. I panicked wondering what was going on, but I wasn't panicking for myself. I needed to know if Emily was okay or if anything happened to her. One moment, I'm in my room waiting for a slice of pizza and the next I'm here in the state of confusion.

Emily's P.O.V

"Lisa!" I screamed dropping Ethan's shoe and the note tapped to it. I completely broke down and dropped onto the green grass in tears. "Emily what's wrong?!" She said running out towards me. "She took Ethan! He's gone!" I wailed grabbing onto her and crying on her leg. Mrs. Dolan collapsed beside me in tears and an officer came to the backyard. "Is everything alright back here?" He asked clearly not knowing what was going on. "She took my son!" Mrs. Dolan cried. The officer came over looking at the note. "Okay I'm so sorry, but you two need to leave for investigation purposes. Please get your family together and go to the station," He explained. We both struggled in tears trying to get up and get Grayson, Cameron, and Mr. Dolan.

Grayson's P.O.V

Ethan left during the middle of lacrosse practice to go be with Emily. The coach completely understood surprisingly and let him go early without any consequences. I stayed behind for the rest of the hour and practiced with the team. "Good work guys. You can all go home now and rest for the big game." Just as my coach said that Emily and my Mom busted through the doors. "Mom?" I said watching her run over to me in tears. "Mom what's going on?" I asked while she hugged me. "She took Ethan," Emily sniffled. "What?!" I blurted out with my eyes growing wider. "Pamela kidnapped Ethan." The whole team stared at us as I sobbed on the floor next to my mom. I didn't care if I looked like a wimp. My brother, my best friend, has been kidnapped.

Emily's P.O.V

We told Grayson and Cameron about Ethan being kidnapped. I could feel their pain while every word was explained. We all don't know where Ethan is or what is happening to him and the thought of that scares us all. My phone rang and I was surprised to see that it was Madi calling. "Hey, are you okay? Gray called me and told me what happened..." She trailed off. "I'm trying to hold myself up. It's just really hard to be in the position Ethan was in for me and I now realize how much it hurts," I explain through watery eyes. "I have no clue what that bitch could be doing to him and now she didn't only ruin my life, she might be ruining his too." At that point I completely broke down and started balling on the phone. I could hear Madi silently crying too. "Em, this is super upsetting and I'm sorry for making it worse, but I need to to say something. My parents flipped at the f**king kidnapping shit going on and so she wants to move as soon as possible," She cried. "What?! You can't just leave! Madi your my best friend and I need you here. Did you even tell Grayson?" I sniffled. "Yes and he didn't take it well either. Everything just happened at the wrong moment. You lost your boyfriend and he lost his brother and now I have to leave you both," She cried even harder. "Madi, it's not your fault. I think it's good to leave. I am too..." I said remembering what Mrs. Dolan told me. "What?" She stopped crying and asked. "I don't have a family anymore so I'm being put in a foster care whatever thingy in Minnesota," I sighed. "Oh shit Em, I'm so sorry!" She said. "This whole thing just sucks ass," I said looking down. "Hey, I've got to go. Don't worry Em, you'll hold up." She said. "I'll try," I said and hung up the phone. The room became silent without hearing Madis voice and then mine. I felt empty without Ethan being here. I got up and walked to Grayson's room and knocked on his door. There was no response so I just opened it seeing Grayson lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. "Gray?" I said softly. I could see that his cheeks were stained with tears as well as mine. I sat next to him and he didn't move, only sighed. "How you holding up?" He asked. "Don't worry about me right now. I want to know how you are," I replied. "I feel like complete and utter shit," He said sitting up. "I know. I just hope he's okay..." I said looking down. "Yeah I just don't get why this shit had to happen. It doesn't make any sense." At that moment, my brain went deep into thought. If I had never met Ethan he wouldn't have been kidnapped. If we weren't together he would be home safe and sound right now. Pamela wouldn't have taken him and he wouldn't be scared as hell. I tried to tell myself that he is okay, but I know he isn't. He's not okay. He's not home. He isn't happy. He's gone. This is all my fault. Everything is my fault.
