BAILEY'S POV

"Knock much?" I said, laughing.

"Sorry. Um guys, Stephanie's gone" Our eyes widened.

"What?" We both exclaimed.

"Well, me and James were just hanging out in our rooms, and Logan was supposed to be with Stephanie. Then, when we didn't hear a sound from outside our door, so we came out to see why, and then they were both gone. But I texted Logan and he said he had to go over to Camille's for awhile. And I also found this on the counter" He said, handing me a piece of paper. Kendall leaned in so we could both read it.

Dear Bailey,

I honestly never meant for any of this. I promise you that there was nothing that went of between me and Kendall. You just came in at the wrong time. I'm sure Kendall already told you this, but I was just hopping up and down and knocked Kendall over by accident with me. I am so sorry.

I honestly didn't know what to do when you stormed into your room. I couldn't live with myself with what happened with you and Kendall. I didn't expect any of it.

Anyways, I didn't know what to do. I think that your life has been great, up until I came along. I mean, you have the guys, Camille, and tons of other people. Me? I just have my mom. Well, had. I honestly can't face her after what I found out.

Well, just please don't come looking for me. I think that your lives are better without me. Besides, who wants to hang out with some dumb 14 year old?

And Kendall, I hope by the time you're reading this, you and Bailey made up. You guys make just the perfect couple, and I hate to see you lose a girl like her. She's really lucky to have a guy like you.

-Stephanie

I scanned it over a few more time before saying anything. Is she really gone because of what happened? I didn't mean for this to happen. And where is she supposed to go?

"I have to go find her!" I said, getting grabbing my phone. I was just about to head out the door, before 2 arms pulled on my waist, forcing me back. "Let go of me! I have to go find her!"

"I know. And you will, but we're gonna do this together" Carlos said, finally letting me go.

"Fine, get the rest of the guys and Cam. We're going to fine her no matter how long it takes" I said, as they both pulled out their phones and texted the guys and Camille. Without thinking, on my phone, I dialed a number I wish I never had to ever, but like they say, desperate times, call for desperate measures.

"Hello?"

"Stephanie's gone" Was all I said.

"What? Where d'she go?" He exclaimed from the other end.

"I don't know. I was hoping you would know"

"No, I have no idea. But if anything turns up, I'll call you immediately"

"Ok, bye. Gilbert" I said, hanging up. I still refused to call him dad, because he wasn't one to me anymore.

"What d'he say?" Kendall asked.

"He doesn't know where she is, but he'll call as soon as he hears anything. Guys, we have to go find her. NOW!" I pushed them all out of my room with me, and found James and Logan siting on the couch. As soon as they saw us, they immediately came up to me and have me a hug. I assume Carlos told them.

"It's ok Bails. We'll find her" Logan said, rubbing my back, trying to sooth me. "I mean, where could she go?"

"I don't know. But I have to go do something first" I said, going out of the crib, going to a place I wish I never had to go to again.

When I got there, I banged on the door until he came and answered it.

"I need her address" He looked at me weirdly.

"Who's?"

"Sandy's"

"Why?"

"I need it now. Your daughter is at stake here"

"Alright, give me a moment" He said, going into his apartment, and coming back a few moments later with a piece of paper with something written on it. I looked at it and saw that it was an address.

"Thank you" Was all I said, before leaving and making my way to the bitch's place.

After awhile of walking, I finally got there. I stood there on front of the house for a few minutes before knocking. I waited awhile after knocking and saw the woman I despised since I laid eyes on her. When the door was fully opened and revealed herself, I raised my hand and slapped her right across the face.

"How dare you-"

"Oh, did that hurt? Well, not as bad as losing a father. And I'm speaking for both me and Stephanie"

"I'm sure this is none of your business-"

"Oh it actually is. If you hadn't done what you did, 14 years ago, I doubt any of this would have happened. Did you know Steph ran away? That's right. She's gone. I have no clue where she went, and if you would have just cared for a second about her right now, you would have came back for her. She left me a note, saying and I quote 'Anyways, I didn't know what to do. I think that your life has been great, up until I came along. I mean, you have the guys, Camille, and tons of other people. Me? I just have my mom. Well, had. I honestly can't face her after what I found out'."

"You think I wanted this for my daughter? You think I like this? I hate this whole situation"

"Then why did you do it?"

"Because I was in love with your father at the time, and I was also drunk. When I'm drunk, I don't think before I do things"

"Well, I don't think that's enough. I'm just here to say that you've made a big mistake, your daughter is missing right now because of it" With that, I stormed off the porch, and ran back to the Palm Woods.

When I got back, I made my way up to the crib. I opened the door and there revealed the guys, and my sister. My eyes widened. I ran up to her and engulfed her in a warm hug, and she did the same.

"Oh my god, do you know how worried I was?" I said, when we pulled apart. "Where did you guys find her?" I turned towards the guys.

"We found her in the Palm Woods Park. She was sitting by this bush, her head buried in her hands" Carlos said.

"Well, I'm glad you found her"

"Why?" She asked.

"What do you mean why? You had me worried sick! Do you think I was my little sister lost?" She shook her head. "Yeah, it's a little hard to take in when she just gets up and leaves. Hey, listen to me" I knelt down so that I could look up at her. "Don't ever do that again. You hear me?" She nodded. "Good. Now come 'ere" I pulled her into another warm hug.
