Felix's POV

I'm at Dylan's house. Because right now, Dylan is the only person who can make me feel better. Well, the thought of Dylan. 

No one has been in this house since Dylan's parents left for their hometown. It's a bit dirty. I am sitting on his bed, in his bedroom right now. I used to stay over at his house after every after-party for a soccer match that our team won.

"Hey Dylan. We, um, won the match today. But it definitely doesn't feel like I won. I won the match without you and I lost her" I start talking to the room. 

"I know if you were here, you would've told me not to give up. But she wants me to give up. She wants me to stop chasing her. But you should've been here to see her Dylan. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever met. The wavy brunette hair and they way her eyes shine when she talks about her siblings. The way she moves to the music and lets herself get lost in that. I mean, she can dance. She can cook. She is a boxer and she's definitely a very good advisor. Her smile lights up my freaking day man. If you were here, you would've been proud of me to find a girl like her. And then you would've thought that I am stupid to let a girl like that go. But she's hiding something Dylan. And she doesn't want me to find it. So this time, I'm gonna respect her wishes. I'm gonna stop chasing her" I rant to him. Even when he's not listening, he's the only person who'd understand.

I get up from the bed and walk over to the bathroom. This is where I caught him kissing someone else's girlfriend and we had our first fight after that. I told him it wasn't right but he said he really liked her. Turns out the girl was cheating on Dylan and her boyfriend. There was a third person. 

Then I walk upto his room's window. We used sneak out and drive his parent's car when we were fourteen. We used to put the keys back in plcae before they both woke up. Although, now that I think about it, I think Crystal and Tim knew.

I walk upto his study table. This is where we used t- wait. What is that? There is a red piece of paper stuck in between the table and the wall. I take it out and blow away the dirt on it. 

Webb's Boxing Club

A boxing club? Why does Dylan have an unused ticket to a boxing match? He didn't even like boxing. And this ticket is of the match one week ago he disappeared. 

First of all, he would never go to a boxing match without telling me. But I don't think he went because this ticket is unused. Or he went and that has something to do with his disappearance. 

Why didn't I notice this ticket before? Oh right. The last time I was here, I was crying and screaming.

Did Dylan go to see the boxing match that night? If he did, then why?

Felicity's POV

Fran is at the after-party along with everyone else from the team. The guys were amazing out there today. Especially Felix. I could see that he was extremely angry when he was playing but I guess that anger worked out for him. 

I can't believe I hurt Felix like that. Why did we have to come to Oakland out of the places we could've moved? It is so close to Sacramento. But then again, Theodore could've tracked any long-distance flight transaction that we made. 

As these thoughts surround me, I drift off to a not-so-peaceful sleep.

***

It's 10 am and I am beyond nervous. I'm not panicking because for some reason I trust Brynn on this. She is waiting in a restaurant for Nick and she's got me on the phone for the past ten minutes.
