Brayden's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning to feel a body moving next to me. I slowly opened my eyes only to be greeted by the sunlight that was pouring out of the windows, and a pounding headache. I groggily turned my body to the side and wrapped my arms around what I assumed was a pillow.

"Ummm...look, I know we just met and everything but, I'm not ready to take it to the next level nor am I  interested," said a low voice.

My eyes immediately shot open and I jumped up and out of the bed with a shocked expression plastered on my face. I slowly turned around to see the smirking face of my 'pillow'. That face belonged to Gavin. Gavin was my best friend since we were in grade seven. We're pretty much like brothers who were separated at birth. Through all the drunken mishaps, girl troubles and even run-ins with the police, we've  been there for each other  through it all.

"Oh.... my...god, your face...it's priceless," he said in between laughs.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!," I screamed before chucking at pillow directly at his head and watching him fall off the bed.

"Dude...dude...chill out. It's not my fault that you woke up in this house...In this specific room. Wait, what are you even doing here?."

"I could ask you the same damn thing. As a matter of fact I can't even remember. The last thing I remember is being in a closet with some girl, walking back out and then drinking some punch. The rest is a complete blur. Ughhh..., " I said as I placed a hand to my head. I looked at Gavin waiting for him to respond but, he had some kind of guilty look on his face.

"Ok...what did you do that you're not telling me?" I cautiously asked.

"What? I didn't do anything...I swear."

"Alright, cut the bullshit... what did you do?!"

"I said nothing!! Can you trust me for once damnit?!"

"BULL!!! THAT'S BULLSHIT!!! Let me ask again...what the hell did you do?!" I said as I held him by the collar and slammed him against the wall with an awaiting fist to the right of his head.

"Alright, alright. Dude...chill. I spiked the punch ok?!" He said holding his hands up in defeat. I let him go and he brushed off his Nirvana tee-shirt that was now crumpled.

"Can you ever stay out of trouble?! Like even once?? I drank that shitty-assed punch of yours!!"

"Well that's not my problem, everyone knows not to drink punch or anything as a matter of fact at any party. It will most likely be spiked." He said as he plopped back down on the bed and put this hands behind his head.

"Besides, it didn't work out too well for me either. I was supposed to get laid last night and wake up next to a hot body but, noooo. It's 10:30 in the morning and the first thing I had to see was.....you," he said as he gave me a dirty look and shuddered.

"Ummm...stop the $#@!ry right now. First of all- wait...what time did you say it was?!"

"It's... 10:30 in the morning...wait 10:31 now...why?"

"Oh shit, I'm late," I said as I stepped over a few bodies,ran through the long everlasting hallways and  rushed out of the mansion and to my house.

When I finally got home, my mom was waiting by the door with a worried expression on her face. She was dressed in her work attire and checked her watch ever so often.

"BRAYDEN!!! Thank God you're okay. I was so worried about you. Where were you? You didn't even come home last night. Do you know how many children get kidnapped in the world each day? You're sister ((A/N Brayden's sister's age has been changed to age 5)) almost started crying because of you and-"

I cut her off with a hug.

"I'm extremely sorry mom, you know it was never my intention to worry you. I had a delivery last night, my phone died and well it's a long story. But, I'm here now and you're late. Hurry on to work, I'll take care of everything." With that said she gave me a short smile before going back into the house, kissing my little sister goodbye and dashing off to work.

I went inside and closed the door behind me. I continued walking and found myself face-to-face with Naveah  who was too busy playing tea party with her stuffed animal friends to notice my presence.

"Of course you can have some more tea Mr.Fluffles," she said as she gracefully poured some imaginary tea into the stuffed animal's teacup and resumed talking to the plush pink pig that was seated across from her.

"May I have some tea too?" I asked her.

"BRAYDEN!!!" She shouted as she ran over to me and engulfed me in a hug.

"I missed you," she pouted.

"I'm sorry, Nevy,  I missed you too. So...what would you like to do? We have to whole day to hang out and do whatever you wanna do," I said.

"Ohhh...could we go to the park?"

"Umm...I don't know about that," I said as I scratched the back of my neck nervously.

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeee," she pouted as the looked up at me and gave me her best puppy dog eyes.

"Ughhh...not the puppy dog eyes"

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

"Ok ok, fine, we'll go to the park"

"Yayyy!" She squealed as she ran to the door.

"Wait up!!"

@@@@@

The park was within a short walking distance. Between singing a few songs, stopping to look at almost every flower or insect that we passed and trying not to step on the cracks in the road, we got to the park in no time.

As soon as we got to the park's entrance she ran away from me and dashed over to the playground that was in the middle of the park and took at seat on the first swing she saw.

"Brayden! Brayden! Come push me pleaseeeee!!!" She pleaded.

I chuckled to myself then walked over to her and proceeded to push her in the swing. After getting tired of pushing her, I decided to sit down and just stare up into the clouds lost in my own thoughts. After a while, I realized that I had not been hearing the faint giggles of my sister anymore. My head snapped up in the direction of the swings to find that it was empty and she was no longer there. It felt as if time paused and my heart stopped beating. I let out a faint, "shit," as I proceeded to look for her. I swear if I don't find her I'll literally be dead. My mom wouldn't even have to worry about killing me because, I'd probably slowly die inside already. Lord help me...
