Daughter of Kellin Quinn

Darling, You'll Be Okay

*Tony's POV*

We've searched high and low, between the cracks and around the corners. Still, no Copeland. It was getting late and about ready to head home, but I wasn't giving up. I would stay out all night just to find her. I need her.

She doesn't know this, but...I'm in love with her. I've always loved her, but she would never feel the same way about me. How could she? I'm me, just plain Tony Perry. I'm honestly nothing special. I think I'm boring as fuck, but she always smiles when I'm around her. Her missing is killing me inside. Three days? That's way too much! There's one time where I haven't seen her in four days, but we texted each other in between.

I stopped near an alley. It was almost midnight and I was ready to let it all out and just cry. What if I never find her? What if she's dead? Crap. Don't think like that Tony. I don't even want death to cross my mind. I wish I knew where she was.

I threw my back against the brick wall and crumbled to the ground. I cupped my tired eyes with my hands and broke down. And if it couldn't get any worse, the sky crowded with clouds and it started pouring on me. My hair was drenched and in my face. My eyes were puffy and red. I was cold and tired. The only thing that kept me going was hope, hope that she was alive, that she was breathing and safe. I had to stay strong.

I heard a strange noise down the alley to the right of me. A rat scurried its way past me, nearly giving me a heart attack. But something caught my eyes where the rat ran. From a distance in the dark lies a body. I stood up to take a closer look, as I hurried my way down the alley. It was a girl. She had long dark hair; her hair in her face from falling over. It looks like she passed out. The side of her face that was showing was shiny from the rain. Her skin looked soft as a new born baby. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The girl wasn't just any regular girl.

It was Copeland.

I found her. My main instinct was to dial up Kellin's number right away, but something was holding me back. I wouldn't want him knowing that I found his "dead" daughter. So I proceeded to check her out.

I parted the hair in her face and turned her over. I checked for a heart beat; she was breathing. I wanted to pull God from the gray clouds and hug him tightly for not letting her see the light at the end of the tunnel. I wanted to say thank you that I found her alive.

"Copeland...Copeland...wake up, baby girl!" She wasn't responding even with a little push to the shoulders. I sat her up in my lap and gave her a tiny slap to the face. I felt like it was the only other option I had to wake her up.

Fuck. It didn't work. I needed a second to regroup, to get my thoughts together. I couldn't think of anything else to do. My only conclusion was this...

"It's gonna be like that? Okay, here's how it's gonna work. Listen here, you, little shit! If you don't wake the fuck up, your dad will have a heart attack, both Fuentes' will kill themselves, mainly Vic, and Jaime will feel guilty for the rest of his life. I don't exactly know why he would feel guilty. He didn't do anything. And I will personally take my life as well if you don't give me a sign that you're okay!"

And with a twitch of her eyes, she slowly awakened. The moon brightened her light blue eyes. She breathed so softly. Her breath barely escaped her lips. She looked so amazing waking up like that. God, I always wanted to kiss her luscious lips.

"Cope, are you alright?!" I said shocked to see her awake.

"T-T-Tonnyy..." she stuttered. "A-Am I dead?"

"No, beautiful, you're not dead." I just had to ask, "Why did you run away? We were all, well, specifically you're parents, Vic, Jaime, and I were worried sick about you!"
