Niall's P.O.V
"Get out then, I'm done with you!" Celine shouts at me, while shoving me out of the door. My girlf- well...now ex-girlfriend was more hurt than I'd thought she'd be. I've been thinking about breaking up with her for a while now. Nothing against her but there is no feeling there anymore. No spark. No love.
"What am I suppose to do now?" I say to myself, once the door slams shut on me. We lived together, and now that we've split I've got nowhere to go. When we first got together we always planned on buying a house by the harbour. It was a nice place to be. Looking out over the water whenever I needed to clear my mind. Now was one of those times. I pull out my phone and call Liam, a good friend of mine that lives near by, he lives alone so hopefully I can crash with him until I figure out what I'm going to do.
"Hey man, how you doing? What's up?" Ignoring the first question I cut right to the point "I ended it with Celine." I say. "Oh, sorry to hear that man. You still living with her though?" He asks me. Looking out over the water and sigh, I say "That's the thing, I was wondering if I can crash with you until I've got everything sorted out." Before I could even think he replies "Of course you can! I always say that you are welcome. You want to come over now?". "Yeah, I'll be over in 10?" I say, "Alright, I'll see you then bro." And I hang up the phone.
As I'm hanging up the phone my eyes are focused on two people on the other side of the harbour. A girl with brown hair and a police officer. The other end of the harbour isn't that far away so I can clearly see them. She looks very upset and the officer looks very caring. I never really acknowledged that there are people in the world who don't have happy lives. For the past 3 years I've been with Celine so I never really payed attention to anything other than her. It's interesting just to be alone and to see everything that I never really payed attention to right Infront of my eyes with no distractions. I've been looking at them for quite a while now. I should probably go see Liam.
Lily's P.O.V
As I walk Dean out of the building, we say our goodbyes to each other. I'm trying not to look to destroyed but I did get an F in drama for a reason.
"Hey, stop crying you wimp." He says nudging my arm. "I know I'm amazing but come on". The stupid thing is, I am crying because of the fact that he's leaving. He means a lot to me. "I know, I know. But every time you leave it feels weird" I say, looking across the harbour. There's a guy standing looking directly at Dean and I. What's his problem? Knocking me out of my little thought bubble, Dean speaks. "I promise nothing will happen to you. You know that. Don't you?" He asks, tilting his head to the side in a kind gesture. I smile slightly at this. "I know.". "I'll come round tomorrow and we can go looking for things...see if we can find any clues of your brothers whereabouts." He continues "Do you know anywhere Ben loved to go? Any place special to him that he would go in a case of safety?" That one question made so many memories flash through my mind.
The woods. Ever Since Ben was little, he had this weird connection with the woods. It was about a half hours drive from the harbour. He always loved to look at trees. Something about them just completely fascinated him. He would go find the best tree he could find, and when he found it, he would take of a piece of clothing he had on like a glove or scarf, And he'd bury it where the tree was. He saw it as an act of "showing love to nature". For a 4 year old boy, he acted very wise. It would be a good place to look. Maybe I could find one of the things he buried when he was little.
I look at Dean. "The woods. I should look there" I say. A flash of hesitation goes across deans eyes, "I'll come with you. I don't think you should do this on your o-" before he could finish, I interrupt. "No. I need to do this one on my own." Dean looks at me and sighs. He won't admit it, but he knows it's best for me to go alone.

RomanceI was in the woods. Looking out over the lake with my head in my hands. I heard someone coming from afar. I didn't want them to see me like this. So I hid. I peek my head out from behind a tree. And all I see is blonde hair.
