Looking For Jayden

Darius's POV:

"What do you mean Jayden's missing? Since when is he missing? Tell me everything Sasha told you!" Rigel said with tears in her eyes.

"She'll tell us everything. We have to go, now!" Leah said and Rigel nodded her head before leaving the dinning room.

"We have to follow them!" I said to Nathan and he nodded his head.

"I'm sorry girls but we have to leave." Nathan said and put 30 dollars on the table to pay both our parts.

We left the restaurant and started driving towards the orphanage.

Rigel's POV:

"Sasha! Tell us everything!" I said after entering her office.

She was about to speak when someone opened the door.

"What do you mean Jayden's missing?" Darius asked Sasha with worry.

"Darius? Nathan? What are you doing here?" Leah asked them.

"You're not much of a silent person. I think the whole restaurant heard you." Nathan said.

These two started arguing like their lives depended on it until Darius yelled at them.

"GUYS! That's not helping anyone in this moment! Jayden's missing, we have to find him!" Darius practically yelled.

"Rigel?" Sasha called me. "You spend most of your time here with Caden and Jayden, do you have any idea where Jayden might be?" She asked and I started to think.

"The park." I said quietly.

"I'm sorry, what?" Sasha asked in confusion.

"The park, I'm pretty sure he's in the park." I said.

"Okay, let's split up: two of us go, three of us stay in case of Jayden comes." Sasha announced.

"I'll go!" I said raising my hand.

"Me too!" Darius said raising his hand as well. Sasha nodded her head and both Darius and I went to the car.

"How do you know this place?" Darius asked me after entering the car and putting his seatbelt on.

"Leah and I have been doing volunteering in this orphanage since we were 17 years old. We know everybody in there." I answered his question and turned the ignition on.

"Caden as well?" He asked and I smiled.

"Specially Caden! I know that kid since he entered the orphanage with Jayden. I don't know what my life would be like without either of them." I said with tears in my eyes.

"Hey, we're going to find him, I promise." He said and put his hand over mine that was now on the gear box. I looked at him and nodded my head. Fortunately after a few minutes we arrived at the park.

The park was empty. No one was there, except Jayden.

"Call Leah, he's here!" I told Darius and he obeyed.

I approached him and put my hand on his shoulder and turned him around to face me.

"Jayden! What were you thinking? Do you know how worried we've been?" I asked him and he shrugged his shoulders. "Don't shrug your shoulders! Do you have any idea how Sasha is? How Lily is? Do you even know how depressed your brother is?"

"You told Caden?" He asked, practically yelling. "You had no right to tell Caden that I was gone!" He yelled at me and I was about to answer him when Darius approached us.

"Jayden, your brother was asking for you the whole day. Did you really think that your brother was going to believe every excuses that people gave him?" Darius asked and he looked at the floor.

"You guys are right!" He said and took a deep breath. "It's just that today is our fifth year in the orphanage and remembering that I had two parents next to me and that I don't have them anymore just makes me angry and this park is the only place that calms me down." He said.

"C'mon, let's go back to the orphanage." I said and he nodded his head.
After a couple of minutes we arrived at the orphanage and entered the building.

Darius's POV:

"Jayden!" I heard Caden screaming and saw him running towards Jayden. Jayden immediately kneeled down and caught him in his arms while Caden cried on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry I ran away! I will never do that again, I promise!" He told Caden and he nodded.

"What matters is that you're here now!" Caden said before pulling away. "C'mon everyone's waiting for you in the living room." He said and all of us went to the living room.

Everything was normal again, Jayden was back, everyone was happy and cheerful. I looked around the living room and saw Caden walking towards his room so I decided to follow him.

"Are you okay, big guy?" I asked him after entering his room.

"Yes, I'm just thinking." He said and sat down on his bed.

"About what?" I asked him.

"Names.." He mumbled and I gave him a confused look.

"Names?" I asked and he nodded his head.

"I was thinking about my name. My name is Caden and my brother's name is Jayden. Do you it is a coincidence that our names rhyme?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I don't know." I mumbled.

"Do you know the story behind Rigel's name?" He asked me and I gave him a confused look.

"There's a story behind her name?" I asked him.

"As far as I know, her name is not that common. Do you want to know the story behind it?" He asked and I nodded my head.
"The name 'Rigel' is not a name that you give to a child. In fact, Rigel is the fourth brightest star in the whole galaxy. Seeing her dad is an astronomer he decided to name her something related to the sky, and her mother agreed." He said and I looked surprised.

"That's very impressive! Did she tell you all this stuff or you find out by yourself?" I asked him.

"She told me some stuff and I found out some others." He answered and turned his attention to me. "What about you? Do you have a story behind your name or your name is just Darius?" He asked me.

"Do you really want to know?" I asked him.

"Of course!" He said with excitement.

"The truth his my name is not Darius, I only chose that name because it made me look more mysterious and dangerous!" I admitted. "My real name is Dazs. Do you want to know why?" I asked and he nodded his head. "My dad's favorite ice cream brand is Häagen-Dazs, so he decided to name one of his kids something that remembered him how much he loves that brand. My name was supposed to be Häagen-Dazs Callahan, but my mother said that was a bit mean, so they agreed that Dazs was a bit less mean. I didn't care about the name though, until some kids started to call me 'ice cream'. It wasn't really nice, so I decided to change my name. That's how I found Darius, and that's how people know me!" I said and he smiled.

"I like your real name! It's unique, just like Rigel's." He said and smiled at me.

"Look you can't tell Rigel my real name okay?" I asked him.

"Okay. But I prefer calling you by your real name.." He slowly said and I smiled back at him.

"Me too!" I looked at the door and froze.
