~Flash Back~

Chad's P.O.V

I was walking to go on stage for the final scene in the play. I had just done making-out with my long-term girl friend Taylor McKessie. But trust me, it wasn't my idea. Right after Troy and Gabby's scene, she pulled me off stage and towards one of the dressing rooms where we kept the Prom Scene outfits. When we got there, she just pulled me in the room and just started kissing me. And of course, I didn't resist. I mean hello, have you seen my girl friend, she's HOT, so I just let her pull me in the room.

We made-out against the wall for about ten minutes until my ass of a best friend, Troy Bolton, walks by the door looking for me saying that we had five minutes until final curtain, so reluctantly I pulled away from Taylor, panting, trying to catch my breath, and leaned my forehead against hers.

"I love you," I said to her, once I had caught my breath and hugged her.

"I love you too," I heard her mumbled since her head was buried in my neck.

Man I wish she didn't have to go to Yale this fall. Most people don't know this since I didn't tell anyone but Gabriella, who is practically my little sister and is also Taylor's best friend. Oh and did I mention that she is dating my best friend. Anyways, back to what I was saying, I really don't think I can handle having Taylor going across the country. I mean I love her and I don't want to loose her. But, whatever, we got changed and everything, but somehow when I went to go walk out on stage someone, I guess from behind me, grabbed me and put there hand over my mouth so I wouldn't scream. I started thrashing everywhere, trying to get them off me, but that just made them madder and made them tighten their grip on my neck.

The last thing I remember was being dragged out of the school. We went through the gym since the doors towards the front of the school were being occupied by some students talking. When we got to the gym, I could hear this person's, with how tight their grip on my neck was, I bet it was a guy, shoes, squeaking on the gym floor as he dragged me to the back exit. While he was dragging me, I noticed a folded piece of paper had fallen out of his pocket. Only thing I could think of was 'please let that piece of paper tell my friends who took me' and right before we got outside, I could tell the person was looking for something because he kept moving his head around. Before I could ask him what he wanted with me, everything went black.

That was 1 year ago today that I, Chad Marcus Danforth, was kidnapped from my high school. I think about three months after I was missing everyone gave up on me. They thought that I was dead or something because they said it on T.V. I was able to know this information because in my room that the guy that still after one year won't tell me who he is, has me in, there is a little portable T.V. I used to watch it everyday thinking that maybe the police would find some clue to tell me who kidnapped me.

They said that Troy did find the letter and the police think that the kidnapper may have decided to send that to my family about a week after I was missing. But after two months of looking for me high and low, and searching for clues, they still had nothing and decided that they should just end the case. When they said those words on live T.V. my heart shattered. I could see on the screen behind the chief investigator that my dad and Gabster's mom were crying in each other's arms. They've been dating for about a year now. Taylor was crying on her dad's shoulder.

I'm the only one that knows the true story about Taylor's mom. Not even Gabriella knows this and her and Tay are best friends. But, when Taylor was about four years old, everyone thought that her mom had died, well she did die but not in a car accident like everyone thought, she did. No, she died because she was kidnapped during a robbery. They said that she wouldn't give up her purse to the burglars so they took her. At first, they had a good lead but that was soon destroyed when the guy that killed her mom committed suicide two weeks after her mom went missing. When they checked his house for evidence, they found Taylor's mom in his basement. Dead. The cops said that she was beaten and raped many times before she was killed. The cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the head.

Once Taylor had told me that story, I felt that she trusted me because other than the principal, who found out only because when she went to a memorial service on the anniversary of her mother's death she had to have a reason of why she was out of school for that whole week. I was the only one who knew about her mother's horrific death fourteen years ago.

All of my friends were there when they said that they had ended the search for me and that there was nothing they could do anymore except wait. They gave their deepest apologies to my parents and friends about not trying harder to find me. Even though the cops gave up and I think that, my dad and Maria (Gabs' Mom) have too. Don't ask me how I know this I can just feel it. But the only people that I know will never give up on finding me are friends back home. I know they will do whatever they have to do to find me.

~Troy's P.O.V.~

When Taylor asked me where was Chad, I immediately figured that he would be in the gym, but when I got in there, my best friend wasn't. I walked in calling his name, but still no answer. I was about to walk out when I saw a piece of paper on the gym floor. I gingerly walked over to it and picked it up thinking it was just a scrap of paper but when I opened it up to see what it was I got the shock of a lifetime. The note read 'I have kidnapped Chad Danforth. You will never find him if and when you do find him he'll probably be in a coffin.' As soon as I read that, I ran back to the auditorium to tell his dad and my parents what I had just discovered.

When I got there, I had tears streaming down my face. Everyone was looking at me wondering where Chad was. All I could do was shake my head. I suddenly realized that he had his phone. I ran over to my girl friend of two years, Gabriella Montez and asked if I could see her phone. She looked at me confused for a second but then bent down to take it off the clip that was on her heels. I muttered thanks to her and started rapidly dialing Chad's phone repeatedly.

When I here is ring tone of T.I's –You Can Have Whatever You Like, I ran towards it. All of my friends, which included Shar, Zeke, Brie, Taylor, Kelsi, Jason, Martha, Ryan, and also my parents, Chad's parent's, , and also the principal , all followed me back stage to where we found Chad's phone ringing on the floor. As soon as I saw this, I lost it.

"DAMMIT!!!" I screamed so loud that the audience could here me.

"Son," my dad said from behind me, "calm down"

"Calm down." I said sarcastically. "CALM DOWN!!!!" I screamed at them with tears still flowing down my face. "How can I calm down when by best friend who is practically my brother is out there fighting for his life."

Everyone just stud there. Staring at me like I was high or something.

"Troy, what the hell are you talking about?" Taylor asked me worried.

I just stared at her for about a minute or two before I handed over the note. She looked at me confused. "Read it." I told her. As soon as she did this, she looked up at me as if she had just seen a ghost with tears starting to form in her eyes. "My reaction exactly." I said to her.

"No not again, not again!!!" I'm guessing she said this more to herself more then to us. "Where?!" she asked me. Already knowing what she meant I said, "The gym," As soon as those words were out of my mouth she took off sprinting to the gym with me right behind her. Before she took off running she dropped, the note at everyone else's feet.

When I got to the gym, I found Taylor on her knees, sobbing into her hands. I ran straight over to her and grabbed her. She immediately wrapped her arms around my neck and started sobbing against my shoulder as I rocked her back and forth. I didn't even notice I was still crying until I tasted the saltiness of them when I went to lick my dry lips.

"We'll find him." I told her as I pressed a kiss to her head. "I Promise you this."

The only reaction I got from her was her nodding her head. Taylor is like my sister since she is dating my brother so I treat her as if she is my little sis. I'm always protective of her like an older brother just as Chad is with Gabby.

I hated seeing Taylor like that. We spent that whole night looking around town to see if we could find him. As soon as my parents read the note, my mom just broke down crying while my dad was trying to contact the police. After about a month, the cops gave up looking for him saying there were no clues that could lead them to anyone who took him and that they where very sorry for our lost. LOST!! HE'S NOT DEAD PEOPLE!!! At least that is what I kept telling myself.

About a week before the summer ended, so did our parent's hopes of finding Chad. His parents thought that if they hadn't found anything yet, that they never would. My friends and I decide about a month before summer was over that we would all go to U of A for two reasons. One, this way we could be close to our families and we could still be able to look for him. See, the adults think that we gave up too, but what they don't know is that every weekend that we say we're spending at Lava Springs, we're actually looking for Chad. The other reason we are going to U of A is because it was Chad's dream to go there and until we find him, we're not going to let his dream die. That's what true friends are.
