Everyone is worried, everything is crazy, nothing is going as planned. I haven't slept in 3 days, my eyes had nasty bags under them and my body will soon give up on me. But right now, I don't care, all I want is to find my Princess, my angel, my Maddie. It's been 3 long days since she went missing, nobody has any idea where she went or what happened. All we know is she's missing and we need to find her.

My brain has been going haywire since that night, the night of Maddie's eighteenth birthday party, the night we were supposed to spend together, the night she left me. It's not only me whose been fighting to rest, our friends and family too. Mads dad went crazy that night, he got the police to start searching everywhere for Maddie after 2 hours of no return. Usually we were supposed to wait 24 hours but he somehow made them start searching.

We didn't find anything that night, we searched everywhere. The neighbourhood, the school, the beach, the woods, anywhere she could be, we looked but no Maddie. Since that night, Mads mum locked herself in her room, she refused to come out until Maddie was safe and sound in her house. Most of the time when I went there, I could hear her crying and pleading to God, to 'please bring back her child'.

My dad flew back from London and has been helping Chris, Maddie's father to look for her. Lucas and I, with a few of Maddie's friends have been going on our own little search party. It's been exhausting but I've been going on. My mum on the other hand seemed to be the only reasonable person, she's tried to make me sleep, saying if I wanted to look for my Maddie I needed my rest. That was bull to me, the more time I spent resting, the longer it would take to find my angel.

Today we were all going to the station for questioning, they would ask all the so called suspects and they thought I was one of them. Why would I want to kidnap my girlfriend, the one person in the world I'd do anything for. I'd been there an hour before they brought in Luan Baker, the number one suspect. I hated her.

Luan and Maddie always had this feud, since kindergarten they've always hated each other. I didn't understand Maddie's hate for the girl, until she tried to force herself onto me. She was disgusting, on the inside mostly. I wouldn't call her ugly, she was nice to look at thought. She had long blond hair that she kept wavy, big blue eyes that made her look innocent, a figure girls would die for. She thought she could have any guy in the world, any guy except me.

The moment she stepped in, I glared at her so hard she flinched. The slut composed herself quick enough and shot me a wink, in return getting an eye roll. I looked away and turned my attention to Lucas, his eyes were distant and he was clenching his fists. I had no idea why or what he was thinking about, that could make his so angry. "Are you okay?" My question seemed to have shocked him, cause he jumped a little before his eyes drifted to me. "What?"

I sighed and leaned back against the uncomfortable chair, I wasn't a fan of repeating myself. "I asked if you were okay, you looked like you were angry. Is there something wrong?" He furrowed his brows for a second before he shot me a glare. I in turn crossed my arms over my chest and raised a brow, "Maddie's missing and you're asking if everything is okay, it's almost like you don't even care." He snapped at me, I was taken aback for a few seconds before my shock turns to anger.

I jumped up and turned to Lucas, he wasn't glaring at me anymore. But he had an annoyed look on his face, it was all so confusing to me. "What the hell! I ask if you're okay and you bring my girlfriend into this, that's the stupidest thing ever. If I didn't care about Mads, would I be spending every chance I got searching for her? The answer is no, so shut up!" I spat at him, now I noticed the apologetic look he had on but I just looked away.

There was a long silence between us and it was so awkward, I wondered why he said that. I knew he was worried but I was the one who was supposed to act that way, not him. The sound of footsteps broke the silence in the room, my head flew up to meet a smirking Luan. She had this smug look on her face but it immediately turned to sadness the moment an officer stood in her way. She finally got to me and bent down, shoving her boobs in my face. "Don't worry, it's not like it's your fault she ran away."

Her voice was low, so only I could hear. I furrowed my brows in confusion, what the hell was she talking about. Mads didn't run away, she would never. She loved me as much as I loved her, she'd never leave me. "Mr. Matthews," I jumped slightly at the deep voice, my head snapped in the direction where it had come from.

A tall man in his early twenties stood before me, unlike others he was in casual clothes not a uniform. He had a grim expression on his face, slowly I got up and followed him towards a table. I leaned against it and gestured for him to talk, "What we've got from a few of your classmates was she was planning to run away." I frowned deeply and stood straight, "Miss Baker said she and Miss Wilson had talked about it a few times, but she didn't think she would go ahead with the plan. We are still searching for Miss Wilson, but if there's a chance she ran away on her own will, we might not find her." He finished.

I didn't notice when he walked away. I didn't notice when Chris, Mads dad walked in, I didn't notice the yelling behind me. What I did notice, was the burning anger I had, Oh, I wasn't angry at Maddie for 'running away'. No, I was angry at Luan for making people lie with her, I was angry at the detective for believing that she would run away, Mostly I was angry at myself for letting her slip out of my hands.

I was supposed to love her and protect her, we were supposed to be happy, planning for our trip. Everything was supposed to be perfect, just perfect. But no, our lives are just so messed up that my Maddie had to be missing. I don't care what the detective thinks or what anyone says, I know Maddie didn't run away and she's in danger.

With fist clenched so tight they were white, I rushed out of the station and into my car. I shut my eyes for a few seconds, taking in everything. I started the car and back up into the road, driving, I was driving. I let my body take control and drive me to where ever, all I could see was red. Finally the car came to a stop and I took in the sight, it was a familiar house, I'd been here a few times. It was Luan's house.

I understood what I had to do now, luckily I noticed the hot pink car parked in the drive way and smiled. I smiled because I was going to get my answer, by force. I got out of the car and made my way to the door, banging harshly on it waiting for someone to open it. The adrenaline pumping through my body was making me do things, this was scaring me but I didn't care.

Finally the door pulled open and a frowning Luan stood there, her face lightened for a minute but her stupid smile quickly fell once she took notice of my features. I was frowning deeply, my fists were clenched, hair disheveled and face red with anger. "What are you doing here?" She asked with Curiousity, fear lingering inbetween. On impulse I shoved her into the house a little bit roughly and slammed the door behind me.

Now her ace was masked with fear, she looked like she was about to cry or scream. Slowly, I backed her into a corner and placed my hands on both sides of her. "Why. The. Hell. Did. You. Lie." she visibly gulped and looked everywhere but at me, the glare I was giving her could possible kill someone. "I didn't l-lie," Her voice shook and I took notice of her quivering lip. I was enraged at her lying, even though she knew I was right.

I slammed my hand onto the wall right beside her head, making her gasp loudly. "I'll ask again, why did you lie." My teeth were gritted and she was shaking before me, then she shocked me. With probably all the strength in her, she shoved me backwards. I stumbled a bit but regained my balance quickly, before me was an angry blond. "What if I lied, she deserved it. What she didn't deserve was everyone's love, she didn't deserve to be prom queen or to have you!"

I was angry, I hated being angry. Sometimes I tend to do things that scare people, things I'd never expect to do. I hated when people disrespected Maddie, it made me angry and I didn't want that. My fists were clenched, my already red face had blood rushing to it, my teeth were gritting hard against each other it was starting to hurt. This was a bad thing, something I always tried to avoid and it was happening right now.

"You know what, I'm happy she's missing. She's gone and I won't be missing her anytime soon." She spat at me, now my eyes were on her and I was glaring hard. If possible, It would have melted her and done good to me. "I wish this happened sooner, then I wouldn't have had to put up with that bitch-"

"Luan." I warned but she didn't seem to get the message and continued.

"Maddie was always a slut, you didn't see it but I did. That's why I hate her, she's a fake, a phony and you deserve someone real. Someone like me, I deserve you. I think Maddie would be better off gone, not here, maybe even dead." I snapped.

Before I knew what was happening, I lifted my fist and aimed for Luan's face. But froze inches before making the hit. I couldn't do it, Maddie wouldn't want me to do it, she'd be disappointed even if it were for her. I couldn't do it, I wouldn't do it. My hand fell limpy beside me and I stumbled backwards, crashing into a wall. I sunk low to my feet and shut my eyes tight, the beautiful picture of my love being the only thing I was seeing. It was the only thing I wanted to see, I missed her.

Then I heard it. A gasp, it was so little and short for a moment I thought I was imagining it. My head turned to my left and on the staircase stood a little girl. She had auburn hair and bright blue eyes, they were filled with innocence. The little girl's eyes were focused on me, then they slowly trailed their way to Luan. She was on the floor like me, except she was bawling her eyes out for some reason.

The little red head walked to Luan and when the witch finally noticed her, she grabbed the girl and shoved her behind her. She stood up and wiped her tears quickly before trying her best to keep her face emotionless. That made me even more interested in the girl. She wasn't Luan's sister cause She was an only child, the girl looked too much like Luan to be a cousin. There was only one option but I was wanted to hear it from Luan myself. "Who is she?"

My voice was calm for some reason, I didn't plan on scaring the girl whom I didn't even know. "That's not your business." Luan snapped and my eyes which had been on the floor, rose to Lu and stopped. It hardened and I repeated myself, this time my voice had power and command in it. "She's my daughter." Even though Luan had mumbled it, I could still hear every word.

The child looked to be about four years old, how old had Luan been then. "How old were you when it happened?" I was one of those people who spoke their mind, it didn't matter to me sometimes if I was being blunt. She hesitated but still answered, "Fourteen." She mumbled.

I slightly shook my head and got up, walking away from the now crying mother. I didn't understand the female species sometimes, I had no idea why she was crying. On getting to the doorsteep I froze, spinning around I looked to the still crying girl and said, "You're going to the station tomorrow to clear this up and don't let me come back here to tell you this again. Or else."

Again I turned around but a voice stopped me, a little high pitched bubbly voice cause me to halt in my step. "Mummy stop crying." I furrowed my brows, "You said only ca-cowords cry." I chuckled a bit as she tried to pronounce the word coward but it stopped when I realized what she had said. What mother would tell their child that, that was disgusting and irritating. How could she do that to a baby like that, a child whom was barely five, how could she. "Baby. S-Sometimes there ca-can be exceptions."

"What does that mean?"

"It means, I can cry sometimes but not all the time. Remember it shows weakness, so never cry In public okay?"

"Okay."

My eyes shut for a moment, I could never picture Maddie saying that to our children. It wasn't possible, it could never be possible. Maddie would never do that, she was always so sweet and kind and would probably let our kids cry, in public or not. Without a glance back I rushed out the house and into the comfort of my car.

Slamming my hand onto the stirring wheel, careful not to hit the horn. Slowly my frustration decreased and I found myself laying my head onto the wheel and slowly breathing. If someone were to pass by, they'd think I was with asleep or dead. Where the hell was Maddie, I know she'd never run away, she would never do that to her family, she'd never do that to her friends, she'd never do that to me.

With determination in mind, I started the car. I didn't know where I was going, I didn't even care, all I wanted was to find her. I'll find you Maddie, I'll find you. I mentally hoped she could hear me, I hoped wherever she was, she knew I was searching for her and I wouldn't stop until I found her.
