Austin's POV:

We rented a room for the night at CRSITO MOTEL. It was the closest place we could find that was vacant. Seeing as our tour bus had been heavily damaged, we had to find another place to spend the night while it was at a workshop.

I lay in bed, eyes wide open and staring blankly at the wall thinking about Ally. I never felt this way before about anyone. Not even Piper, or Kira. I tossed and turned in bed listening to Trish comfortably snoring away on the the other side of the room. "As always, snoring like a pig." I exclaimed to myself attempting to lighten my mood. But it didn't work.

I knew I was becoming more tired, I could feel my eyelids starting to weigh down on me, which was a good thing I guess. This way I would be able to see Ally quicker than staying up through the whole night.

*7:30am*

I could feel the sun glaring into my eyes as I had left the curtain open the night before. At least it was finally morning. I pulled myself out of bed walking over to Trish.

"Wake up Trish." I said in a daze as I had just woken up a second ago too.

"Leave me alone.." She grunted back.

Given the lack of sleep from last night, I didn't have the time or energy to argue back and left for the bathroom. I took a quick shower and finished washing up before stepping out.

"Your turn Trish." I said mumbling over my words. The lack of energy was really starting to hit me bad. She turned to look at me with her head still buried on the side of the pillow. "Get up" I said irritatedly. And she finally got up.

"I'll wait for you in the lobby!" I said leaving her to wash up in the room.

I dragged my feet on the carpet walking towards the elevator. *Ding*.

"DEZ! CARRIE!" I shouted. I was surprised that I could still shout.

"AUSTIN!" They shouted in sync. That was the cutest thing I had seen since we started going on tour. And it reminded me of the times Ally and I spent together. I really missed her and I had no idea where she was.

"How are you guys?" I asked

"We're fine. But Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied. I wasn't fine. I knew that this sleep deprivation was definitely something more than something that simple. My limbs were getting weak.

"Where's Ally?"

"huh...They haven't found her yet." I took a long sigh before proceeding to answer.

I could feel that Dez could sense the sadness that I was feeling.

He tried to reassure me saying "It's okay bud, they'll find her."

Thats when Trish came down and saw us talking about Ally.

"Come here." she suggested pulling us all in for a group hug. That was what I really needed right now. That warmth that was missing from not seeing Ally.

Ally's POV:

I woke up in feeling a little groggy. My head was still throbbing from that bat hitting my head and the open wound which had somehow became deeper after sleeping on it.

After taking a breath mint, I left the room leaving my phone on the bed and headed out of the motel. I came to a junction right outside the motel. I turned both ways before making my decision to turn left.

Officer Dan's POV:

It was my duty to check on Ally and see how she's doing, so I left the station at 7 and drove down to CRISTO MOTEL, the one that we checked her into last night.

I arrived at the lobby and approached the receptionist.

"Here to see Ally Dawson." I smiled to her.

"Room 626. Elevator is to your right."

"Thanks." I said making my way towards the elevator. That's when I realized that Ally's friends were here. "What were they doing here?" i thought. Did Ally know they were coming? I carried on towards the elevator and pressed the button for the sixth floor.

*Ding

The door opened and I made my way through the hallway down to the very last room. I turned to look at the door.

"Ally?" I said while knocking on the door.

"Your friends are downstairs." I say louder now, so that she would have heard me.

Silence. Not a single response.

"Ally? You in there?" I ask again. Knocking louder this time.

Still no response. I started to worry about her. What if she had fainted?

I took my gun out of belt pocket and aimed it at the door.

I silently counted in my head. "3, 2, 1!"

I kicked the door open with all my might and pointed my gun in a general forward direction. The room was empty?

Where had Ally gone?

I decided that I needed to inform Ally's friends downstairs.

Austin's POV:

We were breaking up from our hug when I saw Officer Dan coming from the hallway. "Had they found Ally?" I said softy in hopes that they did.

"Are you all Ally Dawson's friends?" A low voice asks

"Yes, I'm her boyfriend!" I said hastily

"Well you'd be pleased to know that we found her yesterday."

"THATS GREAT!" I shouted.

"But-" He said hesitatingly interrupting my smile.

"But? But what?" I ask anxiously.

"She seems to be missing right now."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MISSING?" I shouted almost enough to offend the officer and getting myself arrested.

"I just went to check up on her and she's not in her room"

The whole room went quiet. I was speechless. I dropped to my knees and started bawling my eyes out.

"Austin, get up!" Trish said trying to not look stupid in front of everyone. I didn't care. I let myself curl into a ball and cry my heart out.

She was here the whole night and I had no clue...

This wasn't happening. Not again.
