mattia's pov

"she's taking a long time to get her phone..." mariano says.

he's right. y/n was taking too long.

"i'm gonna go check on her." mariano gets up and lightly jogs to the door.

"i think i should go too," dean said.

i put my hand in front of him. "no, i'll go."

dean stares at me and sits back down.

once i walk out the door i saw mariano standing still, with his back facing me. he was looking down at his hand but i didn't know what it was until i got closer.

"hey mar did you find- "

"what's this?" he turns around and interrupts me.

marino was holding the locket i gave y/n and saw the photo of us inside.

"where'd you get that?" i tried grabbing it but he moved his hand further back.

"i didn't know you guys were a thing," he says with attitude.

"we aren't." i try grabbing it again but he backs up. "mar give it to me."

"if you weren't a thing then why would you give her a locket with a photo of you two in it?" mariano snaps.

"cuz she gave me a gift too okay?" i said as i held up my chain. " i thought it'd be a nice gesture."

mariano sighs and calms down. "i found it on the floor with your car keys."

"that's strange," i reply taking back my keys and the locket. 

"let me call her," mariano says as he pulls out his found.

i was watching his expression to see if y/n had answer or not but he remains emotionless.

a bright light comes from my car and walk to it.

"her phones right here," i shout to mar.

he ends the call and walks over to the car.

"she never got her phone," mariano pointed out.

"so where is she?" i ask, worried.

"y/n?" mariano shouts. "y/n ?"

we wait a couple seconds to see if she was somewhere out there but no response.

"we should tell dean," mariano suggests.

"do we have to tell him?" i whine.

"he's a cop mattia, he'll know what to do."

"can't we ask a different cop? like an uglier one or some shit," i ask. mariano gives me a weird look. "you know.. one that isn't so young.. and good looking?"

"jealousy isn't a good look on you mattia," mariano says.

"jealousy isn't a good look on you either mariano," i argue.

"when was i jealous ?"

"when you saw the locket headass," i say point to the locket. "i know you like her."

"noooo," mariano says sarcastically, "oh no SeCrEt's OuT ! yeah i'm not trying to hide it mattia, unlike you."

i don't say anything.

"yes i know you like her too. and even if you are trying to keep it a secret, you're not doing a good job," mariano says rudely.

jaden cynthia and dean walked out and saw us arguing.

"where's y/n?" dean asked.

"we don't know," mariano answered. "i think someone took her."

"what?" dean shouts. "why didn't you tell me sooner."

mariano turns his head dramatically and looks at me. "because someone is a jealous piece of shit."

"okay i get it but i don't think she got kidnapped,"
i say.

dean looks around and saw the camera outside the bar. "only one way to find out."

all of us run into the bar again.

"i need to see your cameras," dean tells the bartender as he pulls up his badge. "i'm a cop."

the bartender nods and leads us all the back room.

dean speeds up the video and stops when he saw y/n walking outside.

"there," jaden points out.

y/n was playing with her locket until someone wearing all black knocks her in the back of the head with a metal rod.

i hear cynthia gasp and cover her mouth and noticed dean clenching his fist. my blood started boiling and i clench my fist too.

whoever hit her threw her in a car and dean pauses the video to zoom in on the license plate.

he pulls out his phone and makes a call. "locate the car (license plate) for me."

dean fast walks out of the room and heads to his car.

"i'm coming with you," i shout.

"no you're not, let the professionals handle this," dean replied.

"yes i am and you're only 2 years older than us," i argue. "you've known her for less than 24 hours bro. i'm coming with you. end of discussion."

"fine," dean gives in. "meet me at the police station."
