I woke up to bright lights and next to me was the doctor, Julian's dad.
But, where was Julian?
"Julian!" I said.
The doctor gave me a sad sigh.
Huh? Weird.
"Angel." He said, without stopping. "Julian's gone."
"What do you mean he's gone?"
He took a deep breath before continuing.
"After the shooting, he just disappeared. No one knows where he's at. He just vanished. Like that."
"Wha-?"
"But don't worry." He said inturrupting me. "There looking for him."
I quickly sat up.
Oh hell no. Hell no. Was I allowing this to happen? It ain't happening on my watch.

"EMILY!!" I shouted. I was pissed and annoyed at the same time that my best friend to an hour just to open the front door.
"Sheesh. I was sleeping." Emily said opening the door. Her hair was a tangled mess. And she looked like she hadn't slept in days.
I had to put my plan aside. I had to help my best friend.
"What's wrong?"
"After the shooting. I haven't slept in days." She said a bit sad.
"I'm sorry." Was all I could mumur.
"No. It's fine. Now what did you need?" She said rubbing her eyes.
Yup. She still looked a mess.
"Julian's gone!"
That must've woken her up cause she got out of her slouching position and stood up straight. Ears listing.
"Say WHAAAT?"
"That's what I said." I said
"Liston I need your help." I said getting impatient. I had to get straight to the point.
"Your helping me find Julian." I spat out.
"No you can't." She said. Shock in her eyes. "You could get killed."
"Or your just over thing?" I rolled my eyes at her.
"I ain't letting my boyfriend get tortured like that. What kind of girlfriend would I be?" I said. Then continued. "Besides. He can be in danger. Who's gonna be there to save him?"
Emily let out a long sigh then closed the door.

"There's no backing down now." I said confidently.

My parents were dead. Died a long time ago. When u was three. I'd been adopted ever since. Then I officially was adopted by Julian's parents. That's how we started dating. I know his dad wouldn't approve, but I had to find him. I just had to.

"I'm doing this." I said.
"Whether you like it or not."
And I left.
