KATRINA POV

I walked up to my room after my break down at Vincents house. He was really distracted when i left. That was kinda strange. I walked outside to my balcony with my laptop, and went on Facebook. I noticed Jamie was online. She must have just got back from dance practice. i decided to send her a message to see how everything was back home, my REAL home.

ME: Hey.

JAMIE: Heyy! How is France, girl? :D

ME: Its okay... I mean its no Houston... :(

JAMIE: I see... Im sorry! :/

ME: Its okay. So hows the team? How was the first competition with the new captain???

JAMIE: OMFG! ITS GREATTT!!!!!! WE ARE DOING BETTER THAN EVER!!!! WE MADE TO STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! I CANT REMEMBER BEING THIS HAPPY FOR US!! :D EVERYONE THINKS IM THE BEST CAPTAIN THE TEAM EVER HAD!!!!!!! :DDD

ME: Oh... okay... congrats. :)

JAMIE: are you okay, trina? :(

ME: yes... hey, i have to go, its kinda late here! will talk to you soon! good luck on your championship. :)

JAMIE: THANKSSS!!!! :D BYE!

JAMIE: Thanks!!!!

As I closed my laptop, I felt myself crying. The tears were falling on to my hands that was folded on my lap. I couldn't believe it!!!! They...moved on... and were happier without...me! Vincent was right! I couldnt think about anything right now! I really just wanted to go back to my old life, with my friends, old team, old home. Nothing would EVER be the same again. I tried to calm down but no matter what i did...I became more and more upset! UGH! This freaking life! I HATED IT!!!!! I just wanted it to end!!!!!

I finally couldnt take it anymore, so i decided to leave! i left a note on my desk, ran. I Ran as fast as i could, as far as my legs would take me! I didnt care that i didnt know where i was going! ANYWHERE had to be better than this hell hole! The time was now 22:30 (10:30 pm).

VINCENT POV

<Ringing Phone>

What the hell!? It is 3 am! Who the hell is calling me!? I answered the phone with a sleepy and angry voice. "Bonjour!?" It was Mrs. Richards calling. She sound like she has been crying and was afraid.

"Vincent...Sweetheart...Have you the slightest idea where Katrina might be? She left, and hasnt came home!!!!! I have no idea where to look for her! aaaaaaim so sorry to bother you at this hour... but...I just dont know..." She was sobbing into the phone and i could barely hear a word she was saying.

"Mrs.Richards, it is okay! i will be over in a minute! i will help you find her! i have no idea where she could've gone!? But i will look till we find her! i am sure she is okay!" I didnt know what to say! Why would she runaway from home???? I quickly got dressed in jeans and a jacket and raced out my home. It seemed like everyone was there... Laurine, Junior, my parents, and all the neighbors.... they were organizing a search party.

"We need to split up! it is the only possible way of finding her!" Mr. Richards voice was stern, but it sounded as if he were about to break down and cry right there. I saw mrs. Richards holding Aiden in her arms as he weeping, calling out Katrinas name.

'We all have cars so we could all go and search by ourselves, and if one of us finds her, just send a massive forward text!" Laurine had sugessted.

"Yes... I suppose thats what we should do... okay Moce and Joanne, you search the airport area... Laurine and Junior....you all could check the local trainstations and bus stations... Vincent you can go and check the local parks and beaches around here.... and everyone else... go anywhere a teenage girl might think to runaway to...!! ALSO... I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helpping!" Mr. Richards had tears streaming his face. He was dying from this.

I got in my car and sped off to the nearest park! All i could think about was her sadness and safety and WHAT THE HELL MADE HER RUNAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In about 15 minutes time, i was at the park. The park was competely dead. Everything was quiet and still like in the scene of a horror movie. I walked around the park calling her name and searching under and above every possible place she might fit in. No use... I couldn't find her anywhere! This was the only nearby park she could have runaway to. There was no other well know places here other than the park and........... François beach!!! Of Course!!!! It's deserted year round!!! The perfect place for a runaway!!!!!!!!!!!! I stepped back into my car and drove to the site of my dreaded memories.

It was around 5:45 am when I arrived at the beach. The air had a certain chill... I shuddered at the memories that came flooding back. I shook it off and began looking. The beach seemed endless I would never find her in this beach. What was I thinking? I walked to the car, but stopped halfway. I just had a strong feeling she was here. I walked back to the beach and noticed a small figure sitting at the end of the pier...

"TRINA???!!! TRINA IS THAT YOU?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but she didn't here me. I walked up to her and she became clearer and clearer in my line of sight. Walking towards her I noticed she was in the same spot of that day of my swimming tournament. I finally got up to her and took a seat making sure my feet were far from touching the water.

"You were right..." she was weeping through her hands. She was hugging her knees to her chest and crying. "about it all..." I could barely hear her through her weeps.

"Right about what?" I honestly had no idea what we were talking about.

"My...old dance team... They are happier than ever!!! They made it to the state championships!! And.... And...." Her tears over came her.

"Ahhhh... So this is why you ran away... Mon cheríe... I know it hurts, but did you really think they would try and fail because you were not there?" I pulled her into my arms as she cried.

"Noooo.... But.... When I was captain we never made it to state...." she looked up at me with tear filled eyes. I couldn't help but kiss her head.

"I am sorry this is hurting you, but it is no reason to quit your dream and runaway!!! Believe me...I know what it's like to quit something you are good at because you are scared." I said giving her a smile.

"yeah right!!! What could you possibly know about giving up!? You are perfect!" she went back to hiding her face. I unzipped my jacket and took off my shirt. There was a chill in the air that made me shiver. "Vincent... What are you doing!? It has to be around 0 degrees celcius out here!" she said look at me.

I turned around to show her the scar on my back. "You see this scar?" I said with a hint of regret in my voice.

"ohh... You have a scar...big wow! How did you get it!? Falling out of a tree saving a cat!?" her voice was full of sarcasm.

"No... It was from my swimming tournament..." I looked down at my hands.
