*****Avery's POV*****

I couldn't help but feel paranoid. If the men in black suits went through that much trouble to try and find us, I don't think that they would stop here. They had to be coming I just know it. "g-guys I wanna explain why I freaked out earlier." I said looking at the both of them. Connor sat on the arm chair across from the couch that Matt and I were sitting on. Matt grabbed my hand and tangled our fingers together while Connor gave me a curious look. Here it goes.

"About a year ago, my brother was murdered. Same with my mom. My dad died in a car crash. It all happened on the same night." I felt myself begging to tear up. "My brother and I were really close, I can't remember a time when we fought or anything like that. I loved him so much. I still do. It's so hard waking up everyday knowing that one of your best friends was murdered. I don't even know who to blame because there were no leads at all. It was like he was just wiped off the face of the earth because some asshole decided he wanted to kill someone. Colton was a good guy, he never did drugs or got in fights. I just don't see why anyone would kill him. He was so innocent."

I started full on sobbing. There was a period of time were Jenna and I were really distant and Colton was there for me. He always was. I felt Matt pull me into a hug. I'm so lucky to have him. "I'm not done." I started. "My dad left the house for a little bit the same day. He didn't say where but I just guessed it was to the grocery store or something. About an hour later I got a phone call saying that he was killed in a car crash by a dunk driver who crashed into him. They told me that it was a hit and run with no witnesses so again, I didn't know who to blame. I was daddy's little girl and I got that taken away from me. And just to top it off my mom was murdered at about the same time. I just didn't know what to think anymore. That was my mom. She gave birth to me and she's just... Gone. Her and Colton were believed to be murdered by the same person."

I cried into Matt's shoulder while he hugged me even tighter. Connor just sat there with a blank expression, staring at the wall.

"After hearing that your entire family was murdered the same day, I just cracked. It was too much. The only shoulder left to cry on was Jennas. If it weren't for her I probably would have committed suicide. I had nothing left to live for, all of my happiness was taken away. Jenna's family was so supportive and I mean they were like second parents to me so they didn't hesitate to take me in. I'm so grateful to them for that and I feel like I could never repay them. Soon enough my whole town had heard of what happened. I was known as 'the girl who's whole family died' everywhere I went. I couldn't even go to the mall without hearing people whisper about me. So Jenna and I decided to move. She has stayed with me and has never left my side since. She's my best friend, losing her is like walking through hell. We need to find her, I don't know how much longer I can hold on."

"We're going to find her Avery. I promise. I'm here for you and I'm not leaving." Matt said as he kissed my head. I could tell that Connor was completely shocked. I don't think either of them were expecting that. "I need some fresh air guys, I'll be right back." I said getting off the couch.

The cool air felt good on my cold face tear stained face. I leaned on the railing staring at the beach view we had from our balcony. It was beautiful.

I suddenly felt two warm hands wrap around my waist. "Are you okay babe?" Matt said pulling me closer and leaving soft kisses all over my neck. "Mhm." I said feeling more relaxed now. Behold the magical powers of Matthew Espinosa. He was just able to make all the pain go away and make me forget about everything just like that. We just stood there as I closed my eyes feeling super relaxed. Matt made his way up to my jaw line and then my lips. I was now facing him, staring into his beautiful eyes under the moonlight.

"Your so beautiful." He said making me blush. I decided that I would show him rather than tell him how much he meant to me. I leaned in and kissed him. There were the sparks again, they never seemed to fade. He kissed back right away. It was long and passionate. I didn't want this to end. Matt slid his hands down to the back of my thighs. "Jump" he said against to my lips. I did as I was told and wrapped my legs around his torso. The kiss didn't break once. Matt licked my bottom lip asking for entrance which I gladly accepted. The kiss eventually got more heated and rough after a few minutes.

The loud sound of tires pulling to a rough stop on the street below us startled me and caused me to jump. Both Matt and I pulled away and looked down to see what happened.

Holy shit.

It was the same black van that was following us on the road. The men in black suits quickly got out and walked into the hotel.

They found us.

We were screwed.

"We have to leave. Now. Let's go get Connor." I said as Matt put me down.

*****Cam's POV*****

Every time I think about Avery's story I just get depressed. Hearing her say it and watching her emotion just makes it worse. She thinks she knows what happened to her family but she really doesn't, that's the saddest part. If she knew what really happened her emotion towards it would be about a million times worse. I just couldn't bare to hear it. I turned my volume off all the way and went to go grab a soda from the hotel fridge.

When I came back I saw that Connor was alone in the room staring at the ground. Where were Avery and Matt? I switched to camera 3 and saw that they were on the balcony kissing.

I wish I had someone to do that with.

Not just anyone though, I wanted Jenna.

Avery and Matt then stopped and directed their attention to the road beneath the hotel. I quickly turned up the volume to hear what they were saying. "We have to leave. Now. Let's go get Connor." I heard Avery say.

What?

Why were they leaving?

They can't leave.

I zoomed in to see what they we looking at as I took a sip of my soda.

When the image became clear I dropped my soda in pure shock.

Shit.

What the fuck were they doing here? My boss said that I was just suppose to keep an eye on Avery and not let her, Matt, and Connor leave.

This is a total game changer. My boss only calls them when he wants someone dead...

I guess I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands this time...
