Ethan's POV

I woke up in my bed and looked over at my phone, there so many texts and calls from the same unknown number.

"Hey pretty boy, you don't know what you just messed with."

"You're going to get it."

"I'm going to ruin you're life."

That last one scared me a little, is this Vanessa's boyfriend? I wasn't in anymore pain so I walked downstairs, being that it was 11 my parents weren't home. I walked into the kitchen and was looking for something to eat when I heard a knock, I go to open it and I was amazed at who it was, Vanessa.

"Hi Eth." She said looking down.

"Vanessa, I thought you were in jail." I say hugging her.

"Well, here I am. Can I come in?"

"Yeah, come in." I say.

She walks in and we sit down at the island, she started to cry.

"I left him, I left my home." She cried into her hands.

"Don't you have family around here?" I ask.

"No." She cried even harder.

I mentally slapped myself.

"They are all back in Maryland, I haven't had any contact with any of them in about a year."

"Do any of them have Facebook? We can contact them there."

"I think my brother might, his name is Chase. " She says bringing her head up.

"Ok, lets go up to my room." I say.

We run up and she sits on my bed, I grab my laptop and join her. I search up Chase Hughes and someone immediately came up.

"That's him." She says with excitement

I knew him, we've talked over the internet.

"That's him? I know him, we've talked before. He's never mentioned having any siblings." I say.

"Wait, you know him?" She asks me.

"Yeah, I have his number. We talk all the time." I say.

"Call. Him. Now." She says.

I grab my phone and dial him.

"Ethaaan." He says, stretching the 'a'.

"Hey dude, um so I have something to tell you and you're probably not going to believe it." I say.

"Put him on speaker." Vanessa whispers.

"Ok, what is it?" He say says I put him on speaker.

"Well you see, you know how Grayson has been missing for a few days?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I met this girl Vanessa and she's helping me find him. She is your sister." I say.

He stayed quiet.

"Hi Chase." She said.

"Va-Van?" He said like he was about to cry.

"Yeah it's me, I miss you and everyone."

"Ethan, you guys still live in Jersey?" He asked.

"Yeah." I responded.

"I'll be over soon, I can't wait to see you Van." He hung up.

*About 5 hours later*

It was about 4 o'clock, Mom or Dad should be home soon. Vanessa left so she wouldn't be caught, I wasn't sure how I was going to get out. Soon enough, Mom came home.

"Hi Ethan." She said as she walked into the living room.

"Hi Mom." I said blankly.

"Are you still mad?" She asked somewhat surprised.

"I don't know, I'm going to my room." I said as I walked up.

What she didn't know was that I was going to sneak out and go with Vanessa, I have to be there for er to see her brother. I locked my door and waited for her to text me, I was getting somewhat nervous. After a little while in deep thought i heard a knock on my window, it was Vanessa.

"Vanessa, what are you doing here?" I opened the window and let her in.

"I can't do it, I can't go face to face with him. I changed a lot since the last time i saw him, What if he thinks different of me?" She cried into my shoulder.

"What are you talking about? He's going to love you, who wouldn't?"

"No Ethan you don't understand." She paused. "I have a tattoo, and my family is completely against tattoos, especially at a young age." She cried more.

"Hey, listen to me." She looked up. "We all have our pro's and con's and to me you have more pro's then con's. I know Chase and he isn't going to freak about on little thing, it doesn't hide who you really are. You are so beautiful, funny and an amazing person, and if he can't see past on little tattoo then he is just a jerk." I say holding her hands.

Vanessa's POV

The way he held my hands made me feel magical, his words made me feel weak to my knees. I looked deep into his beautiful brown eyes, he stared back into mine.

"Vanessa, you are perfect to me. I-I-I love you." He said leaning in.

Before I could even think, I was leaning too. Our lips collided together, his hands moved to hold my head as mine moved around his neck. We sat there kissing for a while, until we heard the door open.
