The year was now 2011. Sarah had been missing for four years. By the second year Sarah's parents and John all agreed to make the difficult decision, and declare Sarah legally dead. Nathaniel had been questioned but his girlfriend alibied him. John had done his best to move on with his life but the disappearance of Sarah haunted him every day. For a little over a year he'd been dating Lauren Taylor. She was a twenty-three year old who worked in the production truck for WWE. She had long wavy light brown hair, fair skin and light green eyes. For the first three years she was just a shoulder for John to cry on. They got extremely close. Then one night…

Flashback

John had just walked Lauren back to her room. They were standing outside of it.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said.

"Ok." They hugged. As they pulled back from the hug he kissed her. She kissed him back. He broke shocked at what he'd just done.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be." They kissed.

End Of Flashback

From there their relationship progressed very slowly. It took him six months to tell her he loved her. They'd only been having sex for the last three months. He'd wanted to before then but he felt like it was cheating on Sarah.

As he did before the beginning of every show John walked out to the production truck. Lauren was standing outside waiting for him.

"Hi baby." He said.

"Hi." They kissed. "How was your day?"

"Good." "Yours?"

"Good."

"Dinner tonight?"

"Absolutely."

"Wanna spend the night with me?"

"Yeah."

"I gotta go." They kissed. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Later that night John had just woken up from having a nightmare about Sarah. He had them often. He went into the bathroom wearing only his boxers. He washed his face. When he looked up he saw Lauren standing in the bathroom doorway, wearing only his shirt.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"Yeah." He said going over to her. "Go back to bed." "I'll be there in a minute." He kissed her.

Five minutes later John came back to bed. Lauren snuggled up to him.

"It's ok baby." Lauren said as she caressed his cheek with her hand. She kissed him. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

The next morning Lauren was getting ready to leave.

"I'm sorry I woke you up last night." John said.

"It's ok."

"You know I hate it when I do that."

"I know but it's ok." They kissed.

"I love you Lauren."

"I love you too John." She left.

Lauren loved John unconditionally. She knew he loved her but knew she was second to him. She would never tell him but she knew Sarah would always be first to him. Not that she blamed him. If she could she would bring Sarah back so John would be out of pain. No matter how much she loved him she knew she could never make his pain go away.

Later that afternoon a woman got lost hiking in a Georgia. As she was trying to find her way back she saw something sticking out of the ground. As she got closer she realized it was a skeletal human foot. She immediately called 911.
