Meant to be.

Chapter 7: gone but never forgotten

Alex POV
I can't believe Servando did this. Why would he do that to her! Was I not good enough for him! "Lex!" Tobin says. "What?" "You wanna go out to eat? Just you and me?" "Uhh what about Syd?" "Lauren is coming over to watch her" "okay I'll go get dress." I go upstairs put on a cute but casual dress and little bit of makeup and go down stairs. "You look good." Tobin says and I blush. I follow Tobin to the car and we pull out of the drive way and the whole ride to eat was silent. Tobin parks her car at Applebee's. We sit there for a minute finally Tobin says " Lex...  I love you. And i want is to be together. I want us to be a couple..." I look over at Tobin and I kiss her. The kiss is passionate and long. We break away and I say " I love you too Tobin" 
*********

We arrive back to my house well our house now because Tobin and Alexis LIKe live here now. When we arrive the door is busted open and Tobin and I rush into the house and see Lauren knocked out and Tobin calls the police and I go look for Syd (btw Alexis is at a friends house) and I can't find her. I look on the couch and see there's a note. " you wouldn't let me see her. This is the way it has to be." And I knew it was Servando and I fall to my knees and cry. Tobin walks over hugs me and we sit there till the police arrive. " ms Morgan?" "Yes!" "We will look for your daughter and if we have any news we will call."
*one week later*
We still have not found Syd. I finally decide to go check his old house maybe he still lives there. So I make a long trip to Diamond Bar California. I didn't tell Tobin where I was going I decided to tell her I was visiting my parents  I didn't want her to worry about me. So i arrive early in the morning I see his car in his driveway.  So I start pounding on the door " Servando I know you're in there!" I keep on for about ten minutes. Finally I kick the door down and walk in. I look around his house and I go into this back room and it's locked I kick it down and find Servando with a gun in his hand and he says "come any closer and I will kill her!!" "No!!!" "I just wanted to be her dad and be here for her and you wouldn't let that happen. Because you must have it your way." "Servando you're crazy. That's why!" "Really? How about I kill her! Then no one can have her!" "No! Serv-" and the gun fires and I scream. He turns the gun towards his head and kills himself. I grab Syd and sob. I lay there crying.  I eventually call the police. Then Tobin. Tobin takes the first plane over. Arrives 7 hours later. She meets me at a hotel room. She walks in and hugs me and I hug her and I never want to let go... This is the worst pain ever... We hug tight for a long time. Eventually we let go and go to asleep. I've decided to bury Syd in Portland so all her friends can be there. We have it 4 days after her death. So many people loved her. It's a crowd. Lots make me food and call and text and hug me. But this pain is unbearable. I'm just quiet all the time. Tobin and Alexis have officially moved in. Alexis didn't take her death well. Syd's funeral... Alexis spoke. I spoke. And it was full the whole uswnt was there. Her whole school was there. She was loved deeply and by lots. She was a good person. So many loved her and so many cared about her. They stay strong. They stay strong for me. I cry every night. Tobin just hugs me... This pain will never go away. It won't but I'll have to live with it. Sydney Powell Morgan will always be in my heart and never forgotten. I'll have o move on. "Tobin. I want to thank you. You are my rock. I love you!" We Kiss and then she says "lex..."
