The Searching Game
It's been essentially a year since Zoey ran away from her friends and family. Everyone struggled with her disappearance, some more than others. Now that everyone's lives were calm, and Quinn graduated, she and Griffin were going to search. With the backing of the Taylors siblings, Quinn and Griffin would start a search party across the United States. They weren't sure how long this journey would take, or if they would find the one they missed. Zoey was finally enjoying a simple and 'drama' free life with her two roommates in New York. They all worked hard to get by, but everything was split equally. Zoey missed the privacy of a bedroom, but a couch was enough. She was content and set on sticking by her new families side, considering they helped clean her up and return her mental state to functional. By working two jobs, Z hoped to move somewhere with them that had a room for her too. Little did she know life had other plans... Sequel to The Dating Game {Trigger warning - Sexual Assault, Self-harm, Drug use} (Remember, this is currently a very rough first draft and things are subject to change, thank you for your interest!)
