It's been a month since Noah went radio silent. Things have gone somewhat normal with Will, but I there there will always be that strain now.

Today I got a call from Sara. "We found Noah." She says, getting to the point.

"Where is he? Is he there? Can I- Can I talk to him?"

"He skyped us last night. And-god Veronica, I'm not gonna ask what happened between you two but he looked horrible."

"What'd he say?" It hurts to hear that Noah looks horrible.

"He said he was going to send us some songs he had written, to see if any could pass the first round for the new album. We tried to talk to him about how he was doing, but he just shut down, wouldn't answer any questions."

"Do you know where he is?"

"We tracked his IP address. He's in New York City."

"I have to go-"

"There's already a ticket in your name at LAX. Flight leaves at 7:00 p.m." I thank her and get off the phone, packing like a maniac.

They found Noah.

Veronica- found noah. going to new york. will text when taking off.

Max- bring him home💕

Wills in the doorway,, looking at me in confusion. "Where are you going?"

"To get Noah."

"His team found him?"

"He's in New York. I'm going to get him."

"Ronnie, no, I told you-"

"No! Okay, no! I love you, but shut up for a minute! You're mad that we didn't tell you anything? Okay, here's everything. We kissed at Cortez's party. And then I told him we shouldn't have done that, and then at Sunday dinner he asked me out, and I finally said yes. He took me to the drive in, Will. It was a test date. And he brought me flowers all the time, tulips specifically, and he'd call me in the middle of the night and throw pebbles at my window and not once was he ever rude or mean or sexist in anyway, and he kissed me at his concert because he was so happy I came, and the first time he said I love you was the night before he left, and you know what-" I stop and take a breath. "I need to find him and make sure he's certain I feel the same way. I love him so damn much."

Will nods quietly, grabbing my suitcase and taking it downstairs. "When you find him, Ronnie?" He sighs and looks me in the eyes. "Can you tell him I didn't mean anything I said?"

I nod and hug my brother before getting in the car.

At the airport, I dig out what I've been looking for. That envelope Noah gave me. Opening it, there are two things inside. A letter and...another necklace. A small silver disk with my initials and his. 


You've already got some gold, thought I'd throw silver into the mix. I love you, Veronica.
