Logan's POV
5 months later...
"Mr. Paul, we deeply apologize, but we can't continue with this investigation. If she has not been found by now, she is most likely dead. We have given it our all and we have decided that it's time to move on. Us and you both. Thank you. Goodbye."

The line went dead and all I could hear was the silence of no one on the other end of the phone. I dropped my phone beside me and let out a sigh of disappointment. I feel like I have let down both me and Sophia. But, what if they are right? What if she's dead and I'm trying to find her as a whole and she doesn't even breath anymore?

Many questions ran through my mind and the thoughts on how much my life has changed are stronger then ever. I have given up on the love of life, the child that I am unsure if it's even mine, I have even started dating Chloe a month ago and no one really knows except Brendan and others, but even they dont accept the relationship.

"Are you thinking about her again?" I hear Chloe say as an amount of wind hits my face while I sit in my backyard near my pool.

I had almost forgotten that I was outside.

"Um, no." I say shaking off my thoughts and look at the brunette with a forced smile.

"You are very bad at lying, Paul." Chloe says and welcomes herself on my lap. I place my hands awkwardly around her waist and on her thigh.

Her hands were wrapped around my neck as she pulled me closer and placed her lips against mine. The kisses were slowly becoming too unreal and I no longer loved them as I once did. Well, I'm even surprised I loved Chloe's kisses. Me personally, I think it was because I missed that affection.

When Chloe notices that I don't kiss back, she pulls away and gets off my lap, sitting in the chair that was next to me with a loud sigh. Her eyes don't look at mine when I look at her in concern. Her lips are sealed shut, opening once but then closing again while having the urge of saying something.

"Well, what is it?" I finally say and she laughs with no humor at all. She shrugs and looked at the pool, hearing the sound of the chirps from the birds flying around.

"I don't even know anymore, Logan. You always have these random moments where you surround yourself with Sophia and it shouldn't be that way. I'm your girlfriend, not her." Chloe opens up and I feel my heart tighten as I have the urge of yelling and telling her-

"Chloe," I say, "you have to understand that Sophia was the love of my life. It's hard to move on to someone else when she was my number 1, my whole world, my everything-"

"And what did she do? Oh, shall I remind you? You almost fucked Justin, or maybe she did. Who knows at this point." Chloe snaps and gets up from where she was seated, leaving me outside alone as she walks inside making the outside door slam.

I took in what Chloe said and I felt something wet fall against my cheek. In slight confusion, I touched the wet spot and noticed how I was crying. Wow.

I felt weak, betrayed, and lied to all at once. But at the same time, I felt like continuing to look for Soph. After all, I did truly love her.

That night, Chloe ignored me and was resting in the "Smash Room." I was patiently trying to see if she would go back inside the house, but it was already 10:24p.m.. I hesitated before getting up and making my way over to where the Smash Room was located. As I went closer to my destination, I would hear the faint noise of music, that one song by Elvis Presley. I Can't Help Falling In Love With You.

I sighed and waked in the room without knocking, knowing that was probably a bad move but whatever.

I see Chloe laying down on one of the beds on the bottom and see that she has the lights on but not as bright. Her eyes meet mine and I give her a small smile before she looks away, lowering down the music.
