Hm, Y/n isn't here this time...

: Yeah, she's probably upset with me.

What did you do?

: Eh, don't worry about it too much.

If you say so...

: You know Red, I don't think I've told you how much you mean to me.

Where's this coming from?

: I'm saying our journey is coming to an end soon, and you know that...

You're right... I love you Glitchy.

: I love you too Red.

___ⓛⓞⓐⓓⓘⓝⓖ— Glitchy and Red began to develop their budding bromance___

"Are you sure about this? It's been a few days Red, and as much as I want you both to be with each other again, I want you to be sure this is what you want." Silver walked down the street with me, a worried smile on his face.

I chuckled softly and nodded. "Trust me. I think three days was a little too long. Besides, this isn't just about me. Glitchy needed time to understand the truth according to what she texted you. I just want her to say it in person and all will be forgiven." I smiled and nudged his shoulder.

I had a red back slung on my back and my favorite red hat on backwards, covering up my messy hair. Silver and I were back in the town that Y/n lived in and were walking down the street to her isolated house. I had a small box in my hands as a gift for Y/n that I had been waiting anxiously to give to her. What was inside, was a surprise that I had prepared. There were just so many things that I had planned for us.

We reached the driveway and I slowly stopped walking. Silver stood beside me and his eyes grew wide. My eyes widened as well and I felt the box slip between my fingers. It fell to the ground and my body started to shake.

There were police cars along with two other cars in the driveway. The front door was wide open and police officers were standing around, investigating and doing their job.

I took a shaky step forward which was when my mind completely blanked on me. My legs moved on their own and I ran up to the front door. "Red wait!! You know you can't just do that!!" Silver called after me before scrambling to grab the discarded box and follow after me.

As soon as I walked inside, I saw two people standing by talking to an officer. Another guy was also standing idly by, but was actively trying to call someone.

Her parents...?

But who's that guy?

My fist clenched and I approached her parents after the officer left. Her mother seemed to be in tears and her father was comforting her.

"Um, excuse me? Are you Mr. and Mrs. L/n?" I asked politely and gave a sympathetic smile. Her mother looked at me and sighed softly. "Our daughter... Do you know her? Y/n L/n?" She asked softly and I nodded.

"She's my girlfriend, actually. You must be her parents. I'm sorry we had to meet on terms like these, but do you mind telling me what—?" Her father cut me off and I let out a quiet sigh.

"So she finally broke up with Chase? I see now. We may not know you, but we trust you with our daughter for the time being." He had a scowl on his face but didn't seem to be mad at me. "Y/n... she's gone missing... We tried calling her but she wasn't answering. She never misses our calls... W-We even called Julian and he said he hasn't heard from her either! She hasn't been at work or taking his calls either and we're just so worried... Something terrible could have happened and we just want our daughter back!" Mrs. L/n had burst into tears once again and was sobbing heavily.

My heart sank in my chest and I inhaled sharply. "Missing? I haven't seen her in a couple days... Since Tuesday evening... My brother actually talked to her last. He texted her... two days ago." Small pieces of this elaborate puzzle started to fit.

Y/n went missing two days ago...

But it didn't even feel that long since we last spoke....

What the hell is going on?!

"Please, we're trusting you to find our daughter... The police here, they've let too many girls and young women like her go missing and all the cases turned up cold. We just want her back, for the sake of our sanity, and his..." She pointed at the guy that was pacing around frantically who looked as if he had completely lost his mind.

"That's Tyler, her younger brother. The two of them used to dislike each other, but just a couple of weeks ago... They grew close. He really loves Y/n, and is desperate to find her." He explained and I nodded, absorbing all of the new information.

So that's her little brother...

No wonder she treats Silver so kindly...

"Got it. I promise, on my life, that I will bring her back no matter what. I love your daughter a lot and she means the world to me." I vowed and gave a reassuring smile.

"Red! I think I know what happened!" Silver came rushing over and I turned to face him. "Please excuse us." I muttered and brought him over to the side. "Those were her parents, right? He's her younger brother. Apparently, someone kidnapped his friend's sister..." Silver explained to me in a hushed whisper.

"What does that have to do with us and Y/n? At least get useful information Silver." I scoffed and shot him a glare. He rolled his eyes back and shot me the same glare.

"I wouldn't be telling you if it wasn't important dumbass! That girl was almost exactly like Y/n apparently, she was just younger. She went missing as well, but wasn't found because there was no trace of her disappearance. Can you see the difference between then and now?" He looked at me as if I knew the answer.

I didn't, I wasn't exactly the brightest.

"What's the difference...?" I asked, completely dumbfounded by his statement. He face palmed and shook his head. "No one contacted her prior to her disappearance."

"Oh! You were the last person she talked to, right? Then that means we can trace her phone!" I finally understood what he was getting at and he smiled gleefully.

"And I already started! Let's go! We should have her back in no time if we go back home now!" He pulled on my arm eagerly and headed towards the door. I was about to go with him but stopped when I saw Tyler.

"Hold on. You go ahead without me. I'll catch up." I waved him off and started walking in the opposite direction. "Uh... sure? Bye Red!" Silver waved and ran out the door.

I sighed and started walking towards Tyler. I had comforted his parents, but he seemed to be the most stressed out of the three of them.

: Dude, what are you doing? Go with Silver already!

I will, I just need to confront Tyler...

: No! We have to find Y/n! Then you can confront her when we have her with us!

Fine... You're right I guess...

I inhaled deeply and turned around, heading out the door to go join Silver. I was hoping that he wouldn't take too long finding her. Besides, I could always just glitch to get to her phone, although it would have to be on and not dead. Silver was great when it came to hacking so I was confident in that.

Y/n...

I hope you're okay...

We're coming, just...

Hang in there for me babe.

Please...

I miss you so much...
