All Drained Out

An Unforgettable Place

   **Present time, August 22, 2018"
~Nolan's POV.

It's been three days since that man took Kennedy and I can't help but blame my self.Anna says it's not my fault,it's Kenny's but she's wrong.I don't know where she is and I've been out all night and day looking for her.I pray she's safe and whoever took her ends up in jail.Mason grounded me for sneaking out but I don't care.They tell me I can't go out at night but I still do.I go out so I can find Kennedy,they all sleep but I can't because she's my sister and I love her.

School is almost starting soon and it will be my senior year and Kenny's too.But I don't want to start with out her,she keeps me safe and it will be cool to have classes with her.Ive stopped talking with Anna because she's doesn't see how much I care about finding Kenny,she says she's sorry but I feel like she's glad Kenny is gone.Mason and Libby day that we should just let the cops find her but the cops are screwed in the head.It seems as if I'm the only one who cares anymore.

~Libby's POV.

Nolan has been acting out,but I know he's right.The cops don't care and they will just treat this as if Kennedy ran away. They've already given up and it's only been three days.I don't have much hope though either. I don't have a clue where Kenny could be.Mason grounded Nolan for sneaking out,i know he snuck out to meet Anna that night but I just let him go.Nolans not aloud to go anywhere but he still sneaks out at night to look for Libby.When Masons asleep I sneak out too to keep an eye on Nolan

Kennedy and Nolan have been through a lot in the past year and I don't want to be to hard and controlling on them.I just want them to live a normal life and I don't want me and Mason to have to be their parents but I just feel that sometimes they need a push in the right direction.Tonight I think I'm gonna try and look for Kenny again,Nolan's been pretty messed up since she went missing.

~Mason's POV.

I look around the room and I see a bunch of worried faces.Me and Libby are meeting with the Sheriff to see what they've found on Kennedy.We left Nolan home because we didn't want to scare him if there was bad news.Everyone is upset but I'm not,I know that Ken is alright and that where ever she is she knows how to get out.Im not saying I don't care,I do but I think Ken is alright.

I didn't ground Nolan for sneaking out because I knew he snuck.I grounded him because he left my car there in the road with the keys in it.When I went back to my car though I say someone in it.It was a man and as soon as I approached him he pulled out a gun.He threatened to shoot me and than ran away.
The man though had a high school Varsity jacket on that had blood on it.I didn't follow him and I didn't report him.I only told Libby about him.

~Kennedy's POV. (2 days ago August 20th)

I wake up to someone entering the room I'm,at first I don't know where I am but then the light flick on.I see that man from earlier who took me,I curl up in a ball and try to make my self as small as possible,hoping he won't see me.Sure enough he does,and as his eyes meet mine I notice what he's wearing.Our schools varsity jacket,but as he turns around I see a name on the back.Liam Brady.

I look up at him to get a better look.Is this true?No it can't be it's not him.The man is wearing a hood and a shadow is across his eyes.He grabs my had pulling me,I pull down his hood and I just stand there is shock and anger.Why and what is he doing here?He pulls me into a hug and I try to push him away but he just hugs me tighter.I struggling to get him off of me but he won't let me go.

Finally I'm free from his grasp as he takes my arm and leads me out of that room I hated so much.As I look at the jacket he's wearing I start to shake and cry."Why are you wearing that?!"I start to say,but then he pushes me into a closet and locks the door.I am left with my thoughts now and that's very scary to me.I start to cry again,making wonder even more why I'm here.But I know why I'm here and I think that's what scares me the most.He makes me so anger and I hate him even more now,but I can't help to think,how did he get Liam's jacket?

I sit there in the dark until I cry myself to sleep.I wake up to someone opening the door I was leaning against.I look up to see a Sheriff standing there looking down at me."What the heck are you doing in here?"He stammers."I..No.I"I start to talk before he cuts me off."Get out of there young lady and go home."he says to me.I stand up,dizzy and confused.I look at the closet I was standing in and realize that it's not the one he put me in.

"Where did he go?"I say to the Sheriff as a get up and walk out."Where did who go?"He says."Alex"I respond."Who the heck is Alex?"He says back in a nasty tone."Alex Peterson,the guy who put me in the closet."Now confused as if it never happened."Look hun,no one is here but you and me,their is no Alex
Okay?"He says looking at me as if I'm stupid."Okay"I say as if I agree with him.

He walks me out to the car and drives me home,when I get inside Mason and Libby tell me to go up stairs and we will talk in the morning.I have a shower and sit on my bed thinking.Was it all a dream?Did any of it happen?Then I remember that night when I think I was taken that I was supposed to drive Nolan home.I look at my clock and see it says 4:45am.

I sneak out of my room and into Nolan's.Libby and Mason are downstairs talking and they don't hear me.I get into his room and shut the door,then I turn on the light and wake him up."Nolan?"I whisper.He jumps up out of bed,crying and upset.He wraps his arms around me and tackles me to the floor*thud*.
I shush him and tell him I'm sorry.I ask him what happened the other night.He says I got out of the car to talk to some man and the man kidnapped me.

I knew it,it must have been Alex who took me,but why?Why did he take me and why did he have on Liam's jacket.I talk with Nolan for a good hour and creep back into bed.As I lay awake I head a tap at my
window.I open it and Jill August come through.Jill nearly hugs me to death,she's freaking out so we climb out my window and sit on the roof.I tell them everything,Jill starts crying but August hugs her."when did this happen?"I say in surprise."Well kinda this summer"Jill says with a smile.

We sit on the roof till sunrise and then Jill and August head home.I climb back in bed to sleep for a few more hours.My alarm goes off at 11:56am and I wake up and go down stairs.Mason left for work and Libby and Nolan went to the mall.I enjoy being home alone because it's just me here,and poco our crazy puppy.I call up Cassidy and Adriana and we meet Jill and August and Adriana's house.

We spend the day there and have a fire at night.After that I walk home but then I see him again.And I know it's him because his hood is down.I stay on my side of the side walk but he comes over to me.I start to run home and the street lights blow out.
