melanie's POV

i tried chasing tyler, but couldn't. i just saw him grab ashley and run across the street. where he went after that? i have no idea.

i am really really worried for ashley. it's possible that.. s-she is.. dead?

i-i am crying. crying, crying and crying. i just can't. i-if ashley's gone... i can't live without her. i won't.

the police said there is hope that she is alive. 50%, actually.

all i can do is hope. hope.

my mum tried to talk to me and calm me down several times. didn't really help. but she is trying.

ashley's mother is really really worried, too. i mean.. i'm just making stupid sentences now..

ashley's mother left her job. her boss' son kidnapped her daughter- what would you do?

anyways.. the police is going to find her. i know it.

"do you believe that she is alive?" my mother asked

"i-i am not sure" i was crying even more

"sweetie, she is going to be okay"
my mother is trying, i know that, but i just can't take it anymore

"mother, i love you but do you understand how much i love her? how much i need her? mom, do you know how much she means to me? i can't live without her, i'm sorry."

"the police will find her. i-i... i couldn't live without you." my mom was crying now too

4 days later- still no news.

knock knock

i went to open the door. a nice man looking kind of sad was there

"i am very very sorry, but after 4 days of looking for ashley frangipane we are stopping. we are pretty sure that she is dead. i am sorry" the man left right after. i couldn't believe it. she was

dead

at least, no one will be lookimg for her. but i believed that she was dead, actually. i believed that. it was true. it just had to be.

i didn't have much choice. i had to do it. i have to go looking for her alone. what else could i do? what else could i do with my life? nothing. i decided to go find her on my own.

i didn't really care what my mom thinks. i didn't care what anyone says. i was doing it.

i packed my bags and went out on midnight. i was looking around the forest, around old houses.

after 5 days of looking, i was done. she was dead and tyler was probably dead too. i gave up. gave up on everything i love, my world. i wanted to end all of this.
