Ryleigh
We got home very early in the morning so I just decided to stay up. My friends from school had seen the news. They were having a sleepover so I decided to go to my room and Skype them. I wasn't sure what was going to happen with the mysterious notes and telling Dad about them.

Calling Emily.....

Ryleigh: Hey guys!

Sam: Hey. Oh my god we haven't seen you in forever. What happened? Is everyone okay?

Emily: Sam, chill. She'll explain in a bit.

Melissa: We've missed you a ton. School isn't the same without you.

Ryleigh: Isn't Adam with you guys? I've missed all of you. I plan to come back soon.

Adam: I'm right here!

Sam: So, how was the tour life? Did Zack show up?

Ryleigh: Tour was good I guess. We had a bus accident and I couldn't walk. Zack sort of cheated. We aren't together. It's for the best. I need time, ya know? Then of course we just had a court trial. Things have been busy. What about you guys?

They all exchanged a look on screen.

Adam: So, uh, Ryleigh...I, uh, I wanted toknowifyouwouldgooutwithme?

Ryleigh: I'm sorry. What was that? You spoke so fast.

Melissa: He wants to know if you would go out with him.

Ryleigh: Of course

I said that with a smile. I hadn't been expecting it but it was going to be good. He's a good guy and he's liked me forever. He's also my age and on my side of the country. After we talk a bit more, we end the call. I decided it was time to talk to Dad. I pulled out the handfuls of notes.

"Hey, Mom, where's Dad?"I asked when I entered the kitchen. "Studio I think. Is everything okay?"she asked. I nodded and went outside to the studio. "Hey, Dad, can we talk for a minute?"I asked. "Yeah, sure. What's up?"he asked as he turned to face me. I handed the notes over. "I've been receiving these for months. They've grown more frequent,"I explained as he looked them over. "Do you know who it is? Maybe it's just a crazed fan trying to freak you out,"Dad tried to rationalize.

"That's the thing. Do you remember when I was almost kidnapped and Dallon was shot?"I asked. He looked at me confused. "I may have snuck off to the prison to ask questions. I'm pretty sure the guy is working for the man who was my "biological father" but isn't actually. He's going to try to kidnap me and he won't care who gets hurt,"I said. "Are you sure?"he asked. I nodded. "I have to get out of here for awhile to keep you all safe. I can't go on if you get hurt because of me,"I said with tears welling at the words coming from my mouth. "Oh, Ryleigh,"he said and hugged me tightly. "I'll figure this out,"he assured me and I made my way back to my room.

*******

Later that evening, Dad called me downstairs. He explained to Mom what was happening and now it was my turn. Before he could speak, I did. "I have to get out for awhile,"I whispered to dad. "I know. I'm sorry baby girl,"he said. We both had tears in our eyes. We were silent a moment. "I called my friend Oliver Sykes. He lives in London and goes by Oli. He'll take care of you until we know what to do next,"he whispered. I nodded and hugged him. He hugged me back then he was pushing the plane ticket into my hand.
