I woke up to the door ringing and banging. Did grandpa get locked out? Grandpa wasn't suppose to come early today it's Wednesday. I ran down the stairs and leaned over to the door. "Who is it?" I asked.

"Darling open up, it's me Rosy," Rosy said in a worried voice. I swung open the door. 

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"It's Leo, he hasn't come since Saturday," She said, crying. I sighed.

"Come in and calm down Mrs. Rosy, I'll get you something to drink," I told her. She sat down and cooled a little, I handed her over a glass of water. 

"So, what went on?" I asked after she calmed down. She told me what happened after the prom when he came back. 

"Please, do something, I don't know where he went," She told me. I sighed. I did feel bad though.

"But why me? Shouldn't you leave that up to the cops, and I'm blind what good would I do?" I told her. 

"I think he might've trusted you and told you where he hides or something, I don't know, but will you please help me, I'm begging you. I honestly don't want him to turn out like his father," She replied. I looked up.

"I'll try my best, he didn't tell me anything though, but I'll search for him," I told her.

"Lara, I don't know how to thank you," She said. 

"It's fine, you can stay here if you don't feel alright," I told her.

"I actually have to go, Halie is almost coming back from school," She said. I nodded. 

I greeted her goodbye and leaned against the door. I do feel worried about him, despite what he did to me. I guess I really should help. 

I dressed up and left the house. I searched all the blocks, asked people, nothing. I stopped to get a coffee from the bagel shop, I needed one right now. I walked down isle 16, and someone called out my name. 

"L-lara," It said, so low, that I could've missed it. I walked towards the voice.

"Lara.." the voice said again.

"Leo?" I asked.

"Y-yea," Leo said.

"Oh god, what are you doing here? We're looking all over for you!" I said.

"O-oh really th-th-" He fainted. 

"LEO! Leo!" I said, with a shaky voice. Of course I was scared. Isle 16 isn't a very fun place to hang out in. I tried to balance his weight, but it was no good. I called over a taxi, and I got in. 

"Oooh, is he alright, he looks beaten up," He told me. I was a little shocked. I did feel something wet and sticky on his shirt when I tried carrying him. 

"I don't know, I found him in isle 16, please take me to my house," I said, giving him the address. 

The driver dropped us down in front of my home. I rang the bell on Leo's door. 

"Leo! Oh my god, what happened to you!  " His mother said, answering it. 

"He's unconscious, I think, he should rest for a while," I told her. We settled him up in his room. 

"I'm going to call the ambulance anyway," She told me. I nodded. Rosy dressed him up in to fresh clothes, and came out.

"I can't believe it," She told me with a grim voice.

"What?" I asked.

"I found drugs in his pockets," She said. I gasped.

"No way!" I said. I didn't expect that.
