Alyssa

I pick up my phone and hold my moms hand. I dial 911 and take a deep breath.
"911, what's your emergency?" The operator asks. "I'm reporting a missing child." I say and look at my new found parents. "And who would the child be?" I can hear the typing of the letters in the keyboard. "Me. Lisa Sumner." I say finally.

Zayn

I pull into my driveway and notice there was no car in the driveway. Maybe Melissa parked in the garage. I get out and open the door to my house and walk in. I causally throw my keys on the table and smile. "Hey my lovely family." I say and kiss Melissa and Alyssa's cheek, then giving Jack a hug. They all give me serious looks.

I look at Alyssa and scrunch my eyebrows. "What's wrong, baby?" I say and move her hair out of her face. She tucks her lips in like she always does when she's about to cry. I hug her and she wraps her arms around my neck. "Alyssa." Melissa says shortly. Alyssa then pulls away from me. "What the hell?" I ask Melissa.

"How could you?" Jack says to me. "Jack, stay out of this." She says. Maria and James then walk out of the kitchen. "Maria? How did you- I haven't-" I can't find my words and she cuts me off. "Zayn, don't. you know what you did." She says. I then look at Melissa. "You went through the box didn't you?" I ask.

"I did." Jack speaks up. "I'm pretty sure your mother told you it wasn't nice to look through people's things right?" I say and place my hand on his shoulder. "Get your hands off my child." She scolds. "Alyssa." I say and look at my crying daughter. "I am so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. They're the bad guys. They gave you up." I say and hug her.

Alyssa stands there and fights herself from the tears and hugging me. In my eyes I still see her as the four year old girl who cried about her first knee scrape. But this was much more serious. "Zayn. It's time for you to go." James says. "Don't tell me what-" I go to yell but a soft voice stop me. "Dad, stop please." She sniffles.

A man walks out of the hall and hold a gun in his hand. "Zayn Malik, you are under arrest for the child abduction of Lisa sumner," the officer says. "Man, not in front of my kid, please she's only fifteen." I plead. "Anything that you say or do will be held against you." He continues and puts me in handcuffs. "You are entitled to a lawyer, if you are unable to get a lawyer we will provide you of one." He says

There were a tremendous amount of police cars in my yard. A helicopter up above and a news reporter coming up to me. "Zayn, how do you feel?" They asked me. I don't answer any of the questions and enter the cop car. The car backs up out of the driveway and we drove down to the detention center.
