~*Austin's P.O.V.*~

Why am I doing this
Why why why why why

The only thing I can ask of myself is why the fuck I would be calling him. Of all people, him. I guess it's because I know they were close. Maybe he'll know where they are.

"Hello?" a voice answers after the fifth ring.

"God damn, finally." I respond, annoyed.

"Is this.. Is this Austin?"

"I'm surprised you didn't recognize my number, David."

"Yeah whatever, what do you want?"

I sigh, starting to think this may be a bad idea and that he might not know anything of what I'm talking about. I mean, wouldn't he take a guess about why I was calling? I shake the thoughts from my head and try to remain somewhat positive about the situation.

"I want to know where Jordan is."

"I don't know exactly, somewhere in Florida. Miami, I think." Okay, that narrows it down a lot, and he's in the same town I'm in. "Why are you asking?"

"He took Katie."

"Woah, what?"

"You heard me," I breathe out, feeling slightly more annoyed than before.

"Did he hurt her?" He sounds angry, and while normally I would probably feel kind of protective, but at the moment I'm not at all. I need all the help I can get.

I tell him about how she was gone for days, and how I tried finding her but eventually had to stop because of how sick I was feeling, then how I got that phone call and how about how weak and vulnerable she sounded. After a while, David's voice sounds deeper and even more pissed off than ever.

"I'll see you in 8 hours, Austin. Get your shit ready."

Before he hangs up, I quickly ask, "David, why do you care so much?"

He sighs and pauses. "Look she may be yours, and it may have been a bad end to our relationship and what not, but there's always a part of me that will care about her and want to keep her safe."

"Alright."

I quickly hang up and text Alex, Zach, and Robert, explaining the situation and what's happening. I know that this isn't exactly part of their expertise, but I also know that they all have experience with this kind of stuff, and when it comes down to it, I'm going to be the one to pull the trigger on Jordan. This is personal now. Not only is he hurting Katie, which I can't even think about, but he killed our baby.

I realize I'm young. She's young. We're both, honestly, too young to take something like this on. And that I'm also trying to start my career here. I was planning to tell her about how I was signed to a record label when I came back to get more of my stuff and then I was gonna ask her to move back with me. But anyways, that was something that we created. That baby was ours. And it's gone now because of him. I feel my palms start to get damp and then actually wet. I look down and see that they're bleeding from me digging my nails into my skin so hard.

After I clean my hands up, I look down at my phone and see that the boys are almost here. Rob and Zach were on their way to see me anyway, so it was just lucky I guess. And luckily Alex drives so I didn't have to go get them.

There's a knock on the door, and I look through the little peep-hole-thing, just in case it's not Alex, Zach, and Robert, but it is. I open the door and am immediately tackled to the ground with hands messing up my hair and arms putting me in a choke hold.
"I missed you guys too," I half choke, half laugh out.

They all get off me and pull me up and after getting out their jokes about how I'm still short and how I should do something different with my hair and stupid stuff like that, they get serious.

"So, what do we need to do?" Zach sits down and catches a water bottle that Alex tossed to him.

"Well, first we have to wait for David to get here, then-"

"Wait, David?" Rob interrupts. "As in the dude that tried to-"

I put my hand up and sigh. "Yes, that David."

"Why?"

"Well, he might know where to find Jordan. He was close with him for a while then I guess thet had a falling out with each other or something and I guess he's always gonna care about Katie so. I figured we could use all the help we could get. "

They all nod in agreement and Zach gestures with his hand for me to go on.

"Anyway, once he gets here, we're going to have to find out where he's keeping Katie. And that'll be hard as fuck, but he's in Miami so at least it's narrowed down to that. After that, we load up, go to where she is, get her to a safe place and wipe Jordan's disgusting existence off the planet."

"Do you mean.. Kill him?" I look at all three of them and just nod.

Robert is the first one to speak up. "Well shit, okay. I'm in."

"Me too," Alex.

"I got your back bro," finally, Zach.

A knock at the door and a text message tell me that David is here. I go and open it and there he is, with a black backpack and a suitcase. I raise my eyebrow at him as if to ask him what he has in the bags. He just smirks.

"Let's just say he shouldn't have messed with someone who's family owns gun stores."
"Well, welcome."

He nods and walks in.

Step one, completed.
