"i only want three things: see you, hug you, kiss you."
Annie's POV
-
I could hear the light raindrops plant on the window pane. I'm sitting at my desk, looking at the envelope. Wondering what it may contain inside.

Why not just open it?

I'm scared. I'm scared of what's inside. Before I could let my thoughts roam more, "Annie!" Paige screamed. It wasn't a good scream.

I rushed out of my bedroom and to the living room. Paige and Hayley were staring at the tv screen. I was confused but looked too.

Oh. My. God.

"17 year old, Hayden Summerall has been reported missing. Please contact us if you have seen him." The news caster said.

I looked at the tv screen, blankly. I put my hands over my mouth and fell on the couch. Tears rolled down my cheek, into my lap. Paige comforted me in a hug. I sat there, crying in her arms.

"I-I need to see the Summeralls." I stuttered, standing up having trouble keeping my balance. Paige was about to say something, but she just nodded instead.

I ran to my room and grabbed a jacket. I walked out and put on my shoes. I grabbed the car keys and drove.

I knocked on the door, hoping for a response. Hunter opened the door. It looked like he's been crying.

"A-Annie? Is that really you?" He asked. I nodded and hugged him. He hugged back. "I'm sorry." I murmured. "It's not your fault Annie." He said stroking my hair.

We finally pull apart from the hug. "Where's everyone else?" I ask. "The police station." Hunter sighed. I nodded. "I know this might sound weird, but can I take one of Hayden's hoodies?" I asked nervously.

"Not weird at all. I understand." He said with sympathy. I gave him a weary smile and ran up to Hayden's room. I looked around and took one of his hoodies. I miss him.

I'm back in the same situation. Looking at the envelope. After awhile, I decided to open it. It's a note,

Dear Annie,
                     I know you might hate me by now, but know that I love you. I always have. You've been my crush since childhood. I had to go with the shadows to an abandoned ghost town. I know that on the news it'll say I've gone missing. I'm trusting you with this secret and not to tell anyone. I'll always be your Hayden. I will never change. Ever. I'm sorry that I had to go. But I promise you one day everything will be back to normal.
Love,
Your Hayden.

I was full on out crying. But silently. I backed up onto the wall and slowly sat down. "Why?" I whispered to myself, my tears could probably fill up the Pacific Ocean.

I take the note and shove it in my desk drawer. I know what todo.

Im going to find Hayden and bring him home.
