Missing Peices (Raura)-editing

Stars Chapter 3

Riker's POV~

I was laying on the grass in our backyard looking at the stars. I don't know what happend ,but today the skies are clear and you can see billions of stars. They cover the sky like glittering dimonads. I started trying to find the consetalltions. I found the a few of them after a while. When I found the big dipper, I remebered the story of the story of the big dipper and how the slaves used it to escape through the undground rail road and they sorta used it as a map to guide them.

If you think about a constellation is kinda like a map. There are a bunch of stars that are mapped to create a picture. Like you have to follow them. And that gets me thinking. Ross was a thinker and very imaginative. I know it's a long shot ,but I wonder if there are some stars of a made up constellation that we have to find the peices of to figure where he is. Maybe it will lead the way. It's crazy I know ,but it all makes sense in my head like we put the peices together we find him. The work like the map you know you go from point to point until you've reached the end.

Just then the doorbell rings and when I go to open it there is nobody there ,but a letter laying on the ground. I pick it up to see who is it's from and stuff. It's adressed to me? Hmm weird. I wonder who it's from. I walk inside and close the door, walking into the kitchen where I can see better. I open it up. It's another letter from Ross. I can tell due to the handwriting and that fact that it's folded into thirds and says To: Riker From:Ross. Anyways I unfold it and it read it. To find it was written forever ago.

Dear Riker,

I see you guys have finally decided to take action on finding me. Which actaully feels really good if you ask me.It's funny knowing that people are suddenly running around chasing you. Anyways, you figured it out, the stars lead to a constellation that lead to me. It will take a while though. This little treausre hunt was very well thought out and planned for years. I left as soon as it was ready. 

I have to admit I'd be suprised if you ever read this considering the fact that none of you seem to want to look for me or care too much for me. I sorta sit and dream about what ot would be like to have a loving family full of people that care for you. And like you said that's all I've wanted, my whole. I have hope you'll come after me ,but I don't think that day will ever come. What I said in my song "I wonder where we are, when I was at my worst, down on my knees." that's why left. I when ever I was down on my knees and broken I didn;t know where were we where becuase nobody seemed to care. You all had shoulders to cry on, poeple who loved you, have perfect lives. Things I can only dream of. I decided I wasn;t gonna stick around to ruin your happiness. The beatings I got from people eventually did nothing. I cried at first, but after a while I got used to them but I got so used to it. They sorta became a reuitien. I'd get up ingonored, go to school, then the kids would beat me up. Then I would go to class. Sometimes I would pass out and not be able to go. I was knocked uncossuiss a few times. Then during lunch peole would do the usuall ruin Ross's clothes with food and stuff. I did get that to stop after a while, but then walking out the pranks and stuff. The hate at home.

About your clue to find the first star well start your journey. here;s your clue BTW: this is the easiest one they get harder after this.

"If you payed attintion to the words i sing do you ever want to feel strong? What brings peace to our minds my freind. Harmony, Melody. Joy. Peace. i can;t let you Pass Me By"

I hope to see you someday. I miss you guys. Good luck.

Love,

Ross

I didn;t know. We were wrong he was fine, but they became a reutien?!! No one should have to live like that. There is no way I'm not going after him and I think I've figured out this clue. i remeber him loving music. I think he's talking about the recording studio or maybe our garadge or something maybe the place where we wrote "Pass Me By" that was on tour before everything went wakco. But forget what city that was in? It's so late. I'm gonna fall asleep reading this. I'll figure it out tomorrow morning.

''''''''''''''''''Ross's POV'''''''''''''''''

I'm back at the beach today becuase I have nothing better to do. I don't work until tomorrow so I'm free. Right I'm walking down the beach. It's totally quite and peacefull. I feel the ocean breeze running through my hair as I listen to the sound of the waves washing up on the sand and then getting pulled back. 

I come here to think or just be alone. I do a lot thinking here. It's so pretty here that it's unexplainable. I can't help but remebering the picture of my family. I miss them and honestly they were great people just not when it came to me but whatever. I wonder what they are doing right now? What are they talking about? Are they safe and ok? You may think that as part of being a run away that you hate the people you left behind, but for me well that's not the case here at all. Sometimes I think about going back home where I left everything, but I'm afraid to. I don't want the same things to happen again. I feel like they will care for about me for like a day and then ingnore me all over agian. Some nights I dream that they show up at my door step, happy to see me.  Take me in again.

I guess if I'm afraid of anything it;s love. It kills me see happy families together becuase that's what it used to be like. I could of had that, but I just didn't get lucky. I'm afraid that they people I fall in love with or the next set of freinds I get will turn their backs on me and that the past will happen all over again. People say if you live in the past you won't have a bright future. I guess I'm stuck somewhere in between moving on and living the past. Maybe it's becuase I'm afraid of it. Afraid of the loved ones i left behind. Afraid more memories will turn into nightmears. The thing about fears is they aren't real they're all mental. It's a matter of over thinking them and looking past them to get rid of them. People say that you don;t relaize how much something means to you untill it's all gone. I just reliazed that now. They mean the world to me. The question is how much do I mean to them?

If I had never left where would I be now? If I was still home would of they come around or not?
