"What Do you mean?" asked Gina.

"He ran away. He left this note" said Stacey, handing her a piece of paper with Josh's loopy writing on it.

Gina's eyes filled with tears as she took the note in her hands.

Dear Friends and Family,

I've decided to run away. Im going after something I love, and I don't want to be found. Don't try to find me. I love you all dearly.

Love,

Josh.

She started to cry as she finished the note. "What have I done?" she whispered, re-reading the note. Josh was gone. She had made a big mistake.

"It wasn't your fault" said Stacey, coming over and wrapping Gina in a hug.

"When did he leave?" Gina asked, after returning the hug.

"Im guessing a couple hours ago"said Ryan, who was desperately trying to comfort and uncontrollably sobbing Kelsi.

"Then what are we doing here? We need police, search teams- anything!" exclaimed Gina.

"We've been trying to get through but the lines have been busy for the past 2 hours" said Gabriella.

"We should do it then!" exclaimed Gina. What was wrong with these people? They didn't care that Josh was missing! They just wanted to let te police handle it.

"Its late honey, and its been a long trip for you. We should just all go to bed and try to call again in the morning" said Gabriella.

Gina reluctantly went up to her bedroom, and without even unpacking, fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, when Gina woke up, she groggily walked into her bathroom. She was happy to be back home, but she was still devastated that Josh was gone. Looking into the mirror, Gina's reflection showed the smudged eye make up, and messy bun that she had in her hair. She quickly brushed her teeth, put on a pair or sweat pants, and went outside. She was greeted by a cool summer morning. She walked down the long driveway, and started to walk. She didn't know where she was going, but she kept walking. She found herself in front of Stacey and Josh's house, staring at the spot where Josh's motorcycle was normally parked. She stared at the spot for a few minutes, and then turned back, to walk back to her house.

When she approached, she entered through the slider doors that led into her kitchen. Slipping a piece of toast in the toaster, she decided she should try to give Josh a call. She ran upstairs to her bedroom, and frantically searched for her cell phone. Finding it, she dialed Josh's number by memoryIt went straight to voice mail.

"Hi, you've reached Josh. Sorry Im not available to take your call, but If you leave me a message, Ill get back to you"

Gina found comfort in hearing Josh's voice, but when she heard the beep she frantically started talking.

"Josh! Oh my god! Please! Come home! We need you Josh... I need you. Please, just, when you get this, give me a call" She said. Pressing the end button, her eyes started to fill with Tears.

Josh exited the gas station building, where he had just purchased his gas. He had made it all the way to Kentucky over night, and was exhausted. He needed to get to New York. He needed Gina. Putting on his helmet, he started on his motorcycle, and started to drive. His mind filled with thoughts on Gina, he didn't realize the headlights, and the large truck speeding towards him.
