(Picture is the view that Jon and Jayden get to enjoy.)
November 11: 10:36 pm - Colby
"She's been gone for one week. Where the hell is she? What if she's been kidnapped? Or raped? Or killed?"
"Colby! Shut up!"
"Don't tell me to shut up, Tenille! She is my sister!"
"She's my best friend and I've treated her better than you ever have. I've been there for her more than you have! You've always been Team Michelle but I see the error in Michelle. Jayden has relapsed! Don't you get it? She's relapsed! She's a ticking time bomb. She's going to explode! And if she does, who knows what will happen! What if she harms somebody? What if she kills someone? Or worse, what if she kills herself?" Tenille screams at me, "what if she already has? Maybe that's why she hasn't turned up. Maybe she's already dead." She growls out. The silence in the room was deafening. Leighla, Jaime, Jon, Saraya, Leati, my dad, Michelle, Tyler, April and Phil all look at me and Tenille; standing inches apart from each other. A look of rage on her face and a look of surprise on mine.
"Can we get back to the real problem here?"
"The real problem?" Tenille scoffs at Michelle, "the real problem is that your stepdaughter is missing and you don't think it's a problem. You don't care."
"Listen here, blondie. I care about Jayden. I care a lot. But right now, she is not our main priority."
"And what in hell could possible be more important than Jayden Sara Lopez-Rollins?"
"The fact that we now have to pay for her car."
"Money is more important? Are you out of your mind!? I'm going to go look for Jayden, you deal with your money problem."
"I'm coming with you, Tenille." I grab her shoulder and she looks at me and nods.
"Michelle, you're my wife but Jayden's my daughter. She and Colby are my main priority. I don't care if I'm broke and living on the streets, I would do anything for them. Id give them the last penny I had if it meant they were safe. I'm going with Tenille."
"Jayden is my best friend. She was my first love and deep in my heart, I still do love her. I'm going with you." AJ, Tyler, Saraya, Leati, Leighla and Jaime all nod and walk towards us. That left Michelle.
"Fine, I'll be here if she turns up."
"It's been a week, Michelle. If she wanted to come back, she would've." AJ snarls out and we walk out to our respective cars.
"Alright, game plan."
"Phil and I will drive from Jacksonville to Fort Lauderdale." AJ.
"Tenille and I will take Orlando to Pensacola." Me.
"Jaime and I will take Gainesville to Tampa." Leighla.
"Leati and I will take Miami to Sarasota." Saraya.
"I will take the borders ranging from Georgia to South Carolina." Jon.
"I'll take Miami and to the beach." My dad.
"Alright, let's go." We get into our vehicles and Tenille and I begin driving to the outskirts of Orlando.

November 12: 12:40 am - Colby
We were nearly to Tallahassee and still no sign of Jayden.
Found her. ~ Jon.
I sigh in relief as Tenille glances at me from the drivers side.
"What?"
"Jon's found her."
"Where?"
"I don't care, he found her." Emma smiles and does a U-Turn in the middle of the road.
Found her almost to Brunswick, Georgia. ~ Jon.
I'm gonna talk to her. Drive around a bit. Don't worry, she's safe. ~ Jon.
Thanks Jon. ~ Colby
"He found her near Brunswick, Georgia."
"That far?"
"Apparently." Tenille sighs and looks at me.
"She's a ticking time bomb. She's going to explode, and when she does; it won't be pretty."
"I know." She sighs and I take her free hand in mine. She looks at them and then at me. She smiles and turns back to the road. I squeeze her hand and she squeezes back.
I may have just fallen in love.

November 12: 1:00 am - Jon
We were back in Florida and I stop at a beach.
"What are you doing?"
"Follow me." She looks at me but opens the car door and hops out. She slams it closed and I take her hand. She slips off her shoes, leaving them there and we go towards the black water. The moon was hung in the sky, a big circle dipped in the ocean.
"Jayden?"
"Yeah?"
"You know I'm always here for you, right?"
"Of course."
"And you know I'll always protect you, right?"
"Yeah. Where are you going with this?"
"Well, I just don't want to lose you to someone who isn't worthy of you."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean...will you be my girlfriend?"
