Michael's POV
I looked over the crowd. There were dozens of mikes shoved right next to me, and I saw all Mia's friends and family. My first reaction was, 'Michael? What have you gotten yourself into? You could never talk in front of all these people' I thought. Then I remembered Mia, about how right now, she was being held against her will. Mia had to deal with the press all the time, but now instead of facing that fear, she was living another one, a bigger one. And I, Michael Mostivitz, was scared of the press? No, not this time. So I started to talk, " Hi, my name is Michael Mosticitz, and well right now, I'm Mia's boyfriend, and not to mention the brother of her best friend. But today i'm here to talk about the thing that has affected everyone's heart, including mine, Mia's disappearance. My sister Lilly, and I, first couldn't believe it when we first found out. How could such a wonderful, amazing, talented, and I could go on forever believe me, girl be missing? When Lilly, Lars, and myself stepped out of our apartment today, there was the press all over, asking questions. There was one that truly hurt me. And nothing usually ever hurts me, but this question did, 'Do you think Ms. Amelia is dead?'. It hurt so badly to hear that, it hurt so much. When I got into the car, if you don't mind me saying Lilly," I saw Lilly shake her head, so I went on, "My, sister Lilly, was crying, another thing we never do. But this, of course, had never happened before. She told me what was wrong; 'Do you really think she's dead?'. I just stared at her for a second, then told her the god honest truth, 'No, Lilly, I don't. Not just because that's what my heart wants to believe, it's what I know. Mia's too strong to break that easily. She's to powerful in body and mind, to let someone hurt her. She's too smart to let go. She knows that people out here love her, and are looking for her, and they will never give up till she's found....safe, and unharmed." I looked out in the audience; Helen was sobbing, just like everyone else. Lilly was too, but differently. She was silently crying, tears falling down her cheek, and some dripping off her nose. She wouldn't let anyone hold, or hug her; she just kept looking straight, at me, and crying. My eyes started to well up, but I went on. "Lilly's response was also very true, 'Your right Michael, she's too Mia to be dead. But, I wish she would come home soon, I miss her so much!' Lilly's right. We all miss Mia so much! She meant everything to me! And so, I'd like to close by saying this, Mia's kidnappers, if your watching this, you will be sorry for kidnapping Mia! You will be caught, because you will be caught! I love Mia way too much to give up on her this easily!" I was really crying now. Lilly saw that, and ran up too me, gave me a hug, and finished what I could not. "Please, you kidnappers!" She cried, still holding me "Don't hurt her, let her come back to us! We love her so much! And Mia, if for some, strange reason, you're watching this, please, with all my heart, please, do don't lose hope! We will find you! We will find you, safe and unharmed! Because we love you Mia, we all," She moved the camera so it faced the audience. All Mia's friends and family said they loved her, and blew kisses. The cameras went back to me and Lilly. " love you, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you, and good- bye." We walked together back into the loft, still silently crying.
