Val's POV

   "What is it Maks?" I ask my brother. He answers with a heavy sigh, telling me he is about to flood my ears with his relationship woes. "Look, Maks," I start, "I need to go check on Zen-"

   "Come on man...Can't you just give me some time too? I am your brother."

   His question and the obvious look of despair in his eyes tugged at my heart as I sat next to him. I urged him with my eyes to continue. He started in, telling me about how his heart feels like it breaks more and more each day and how he wants nothing more than to find something that is real. I realize this is the first time I've seen my brother cry since the passing of our grandmother when we were children. I pull him in for a hug. 

   After several reassurances from Maks that he felt better, I made my way towards the airport coffee shop. I walked in, looking around but not finding Zendaya. Where could she have gone? 

   I run back to find Kellie. I ask her to look in the nearby bathroom. She tells me Zendaya is not in there. I run to several different areas, my heartbeat quickening from both the activity and the panic. 

   Zendaya is no where to be found. 

   I plead the woman at the desk to help me find her. She tries to calm me but my mind is running twelve times its normal speed. She picks up her phone and  pages the entire airport, speaking directly to security. I see panic cross the faces of those around me in the lobby. Parents frantically call their children to them, holding them as if to reassure themselves that they are there. 

   I wish I could hold Zendaya now, too.
