Anyways, enough rambling. Onwards with CHAPTER 16! 

CHAPTER 16

[Niall's POV]

[FLASHBACK]

She lied. Sophia is lying. She said she was staying the night with her friend Angelica. I know Angelica's older sister, Pheobe and I just stopped by their house and she wasn't there. Angelica said that she was at home. Well she is in neither place! Now I'm searching this whole town for her. The library, her favorite diner, and even the school. They said she never showed up. I just checked my watch. It's 1 in the morning and I've been searching for 2 HOURS! Where is this girl?!

She may not be my sister, but she's Harry's sister. And they both mean so much to me. I've known Sophia since she was a born. We're kinda like siblings. And I haven't told Harry that she's missing because 1: he's having fun FOR ONCE in his life. And 2: THIS IS HIS BABY! THE REASON HE BREATHES! HE WOULD HAVE A HEART ATTACK! I can't do that! I'll just swing by their place again, to see if she came home already.

I pulled into my driveway, since it's right next door. I approached the front door and found that it was locked. Sighing, I walked to the side of the house to the generator. I reached my arm behind it and picked up the spare key. Once I had got into the house, I found it surprisingly cold in here. It's freezing!

"Sophia?" I hollered throughout the big house. "Sophia, are you here?"

Nothing. No response whatsoever. I heaved a heavy sigh and walked to the den. The TV was off. I turned it on to check something out.

See, I have this little trick to find out who was here last. I checked the TV program history. By looking at the channels previously watched for more than 10 minutes, I can detect who was watching it last. I looked and saw that they were mostly documentaries, film channels, and this show about alcoholics. Figured. It was Austin. I rolled my eyes and went to go turn it off, but I heard a noise come from upstairs. I rushed to the stairs, leaving on the TV. I walked up the stairs with caution. I had gotten to the hallway and spotted Sophia's room door open. Walking inside, I realized that the sound was a doll falling over due to the gust of wind coming in from the window. As I walked to the window to shut it, a glare flashed in my eyes. I cringed and stepped back. It was the shiny silver lock on her diary, placed on the neat bed.

I cocked my head and picked it up. Part of me wanted to read it, but another part wanted to close it and put it down on her nightstand. I agreed with my good side and sat it by her lamp. But it might hold the key to why she's missing and/or where she is. I stopped in my tracks and turned to pick it up. I sat on the bed and opened the most recent page.

"10 December, 2012

It's gone. I knew it. Like I said last time, it would be gone by this day. I knew that this day would affect me. It's gone. And I don't think it'll ever return-"

I stopped reading.....I'm so confused right now. Confused, I turned the pages back.

"8 December, 2012

In three days will be the most disgusting anniversary. The annual day of horror. 3 days until my sanity leaves my mind, and the love leaves heart. My innocence was stripped from me 2 years ago. I have no control over the pain. I don't have any control of the anger built up in my body. My soul is no longer whole. There is a hole in the middle of my heart, and each day that He keeps living is another day that the hole stretches. Soon, there will be nothing.-"
