Dylan sat on the top of the stairs alone, Justin had locked him out of the bedroom, and he didn't want to be with Paige, she reminded him too much of his mother. A tear rolled down his chubby cheek, he quickly wiped it away and sniffed.
"Hey little buddy" Jack said as he walked up the stairs and sat next to him. "Are you ok?"
Dylan shook his head.
"Anything I can do?"
Dylan shook his head again.
"Ok, well if you need anything just let me know ok?"
Dylan nodded.
"Ok" Jack said, then rubbed Dylan's hair, and then walked down to the kitchen to whip up something to eat.
----
"Mom, dad why did you leave us? Why!" Paige sobbed, she was laying on the bed clutching a pillow tightly. "Our family is falling apart!" she sobbed. "It's not fair… it's not fair" she threw the pillow across the room then kicked the bed.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes, why did everything go wrong in her life? Nothing ever seemed to go right, nothing, and it probably never would…
----
Justin sat on his bed, he didn't care about anything anymore, it seemed like everything he ever cared for always got taken away from him, his best friend had died from cancer four years ago, and everything had went downhill since then.
----
"Justin you hungry?" Jack asked as he knocked on the boy's room door.
"Yeah" Justin said as he opened the door.
"There is some supper on the table," Jack said.
Justin nodded and quickly walked past Jack.
Jack walked over to Paige's room and knocked on it. "Paige you hungry?" he waited a minute, then walked downstairs.
"Where's Paige?" Justin asked as Jack walked into kitchen.
"In her room, I guess she's not hungry"
Dylan took a bite of his soup then pushed it away.
"Oh sorry buddy!" Jack said. "That one's mine, it has spices in it, here's yours"
Dylan took the bowl and began to eat it.
"This is actually… good," Justin said.
"Thanks" Jack said.
The next morning…
Dylan knocked on Paige's door. "Paige?" he whispered. "Paige can I come in?" he waited a minute then he entered, it was empty. "Paige?" he called, he rushed into his bedroom and shook Justin. "Justin! Justin!"
"What? Go away!" Justin said as he rolled over.
"Paige is gone" Dylan whispered.
"What!" Justin said, he sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Paige is gone"
"Oh, you mean she's not in her room"
Dylan nodded.
"She's probably downstairs" Justin said.
"Will you come with me?" Dylan asked.
"Dylan…"
"Please?"
"Fine" Justin groaned, he stood up and followed Dylan downstairs.
"Paige! Dylan wants you!" Justin shouted.
"She's not down here, did you check her room?" Jack asked as he walked out from the kitchen with a bowl of cereal in his hands.
"Yes, she wasn't there" Justin said.
"Don't worry, she is probably just out front again" Jack said, he put down his bowl and went to grab his jacket. "At least she took her coat" he muttered. He opened the front door expecting her to be on the steps, she wasn't. "Paige?" he called. "PAIGE!"
"She's not out back" Justin said as he walked next to Jack.
"Umm, what about my room?" Jack suggested.
"Why would she be in your room?"
"I don't know!"
----
"I searched the whole house! She's nowhere!" Justin said as he hurried down stairs.
"Oh fer cryin' out loud!" Jack said. "You stay here with Dylan, I'm going to look around the block ok?"
"Ok" Justin said as he put his arm around his little brother.
Jack zipped up his coat and went out the door. "Paige!" he called, his hands were freezing already, he put his hands into his pockets and pulled out a pair of gloves and quickly put them on. "Paige!" he called again.
Half an hour later he had searched everywhere through all the alleys, he headed home.
"Where is Paige?" Justin demanded when Jack walked into the house.
"I couldn't find her" Jack said.
"What are you going to do?" Justin asked.
"Call the police"

So? Sorry about the short chap! It'll be longer next time! I promise!
