*Kian's PV*

The airport is fairly empty considering it's Christmas day. Luckily I was still able to get a flight back to LA.

I take a seat in the waiting area and close my eyes. Truthfully apart if me is telling me I'm stupid for doing this, and that I should stay. Another part of me though is telling me to stick with what I feel like is the best decision for mine and Annie's relationship, and right now that would be me leaving.

"Flight 436 to Los Angeles is now boarding," the woman over the intercom says.

I grab my backpack and walk through the tunnel. I'm really doing this I guess. I take my seat and just as we start to take off I fall asleep.

I wake back up to the feeling of the plane landing on the runway. I take my seatbelt off and follow everyone else through the tunnel. I make my way to baggage claim and grab my bags then head outside to the car.

The weather is oddly warm considering it's late December and nighttime. I pull up to the empty house. Ashley is still in Minnesota with Connor.

*Annie's PV*

I lay in my bed in my hotel room. Today has been crazy. All I want to do is sleep, but my body won't let me. Constant thoughts of Kian keep running through my mind.

I walk across the room and grab the ring box again then sit back down on the bed. I work up the courage to open it again. The shimmering diamonds catch the light to where it almost looks as though it dances across them. It really is a beautiful ring. I know I really shouldn't but I take the ring out and slide it on my finger.

I love it. It's perfect. I can't though. I said no, I can't just put the ring on after I said no. I know I really should take it off, but I can't bring myself to do it.

My phone starts to vibrate in my pocket so I pull it out and answer it.

"Hello?"

"Annie?" Erin's on the other end. She sounds panicked almost.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Has Kian talked to Jc within the past couple hours."

"Not that I know of, why?"

"He's gone and he took Copeland with him."

"What do you mean he's gone?" I question.

"I don't know. I went out for like an hour and I came back and he was gone. All of his and Copelands things are gone too."

"Well did anything happen?"

"We got into a pretty bad fight, but I didn't think he'd go so far as to leave."

"Ok well I'll call Kian and see if he knows anything."

"Wait why do you have to call Kian?"

"Long story I'll tell you later."

"Alright, thanks."

I quickly dial Kian's number and listen to it ring. It goes to voicemail.

"Kian this is urgent, I really need you to pick up." I hang up then try again.

It goes to voicemail again.

"I'm being serious Kian. Please just pick up your phone."

I try one more time and pray that he picks up.

"Hello?" I hear him say.

"Thank god you picked up. Have you talked to Jc in the past few hours?" I question.

"No, why?"

"Because Erin said he's missing and so is Copeland. She thinks he left because of an argument that they got in. She said all of their stuff is gone too."

"Where does she think he would've gone?"

"She didn't say. Could you try calling him?"

"Yeah I'll try."

"Ok thanks. Just let Erin now if you here anything from him."

"Alright bye."

"Bye," I tell him.
