emmaline (lennon) 's pov
it's been a couple of days since i've been in new york, i bought an apartment and a car. i also got a job at a local starbucks. i dyed my hair a honey color so i wouldn't be as easily recognized.
i'm not going to lie, the only thing that makes me miss la is corbyn. i wish i would've at least left him a note. i got a new number so the boys couldn't try to contact me anymore. they had been texting and calling nonstop since i left la.
i couldn't cave and tell anyone where i was, i made new friends in new york so i could try to forget about them.
corbyn's pov
i haven't slept in almost two days, because emmaline is gone and it's my fault. her parents have no idea where she is and i've called the police station every hour and they still haven't found her. she wouldn't answer any of my calls or texts. it's sad to think about how one thing can make someone go over the edge. i wish i could've taken all that back, i think i was just hurt.
i still wanted her in my life because let's be honest here. i don't just like her, i think i love her. and now she's gone and i have no way to find her.
i sat in my bed and stared at the ceiling, i was trying my best to think of any places she would go. and then it hit me like a pound of bricks, she's in new york. i know that's exactly where she is because of how much she loved it when i took her there.
i ordered a ticket online and got into my car and drove myself to the airport. i didn't want to tell anyone that i found her because i needed to be the one to see her first.
i knew that new york city is big so it would be so hard to find her but i didn't care. i would search all day and night if i had to.

i landed in new york and from there i made it my mission to find her. to find the girl that i love and take her home with me. i searched all of the places i thought that she would be. i've went to about 20 places and i still couldn't find her. i was starting to worry that i wouldn't find her.
————
i was losing hope at this point, i thought i lost her forever. i decided to go to a local starbucks to get a drink before i went to find a hotel. i walked up to the counter and looked at the barista. there she was, emmaline blake. she was standing right in front of me in a starbucks uniform.
she looked at me with sad eyes, and i watched a tear roll down her cheek.
"corbyn?" she asked in a soft tone
"emmaline?"
"what are you doing here corbyn?"
"i came looking for you, i knew you'd be here."
"why did you come looking for me?"
"because em, i was stupid to say those things to you. i care about you so much and after i heard you were gone i broke. i blamed myself because i knew it was my fault you left. i should've believed you, emmaline i realized that it hurt so much because i love you. after i realized that i thought i lost you forever, i thought i lost the girl i love. emmaline, can you please come back home with me?"
"corbyn i came here to restart, you were the only one keeping me in la. my parents care more about money and fame then they do about my happiness. i needed to get away. and i didn't want to be found corbyn. i don't think i can go back to la. it's not my home anymore."
"we don't have to say anything about you coming back to la, you can stay with the boys and i. we don't have to tell your parents that your back. please em, i need you. you can legally do what you want, your almost 19. you don't have to live with your parents anymore. i love you em, i want you to come home."
"fine, but only cause i love you."
"wait you love me too?!"
"yes."
"yay!" corbyn lifted me up and spun me around
when he set me down our eyes were locked on each others. then corbyn bent down and kissed me, and right then and there i felt like if i was with corbyn then i was home.
"i've been wanting to do that for a long time." he said after he broke the kiss
i smiled and put my hand in his so i could go get my stuff and go back to la. i wasn't excited about going back but i knew i had corbyn so i would be completely fine.
