Nick's POV

Why does this have to happen to Joe? He has done nothing...really. This is so hard for him! He can't take having the one he loves (even though he doesn't want to admit it) disapear from his life! I thought to myself as I walked up to him. "Hey, how you holding up?" I looked down at his worn out body laying on the couch.

"How does it look?" He looked up at me.

"Looks like it's not working, what have you been telling Aunt Rae?" I questioned him as I sat down in the chair next to him.

"I tell her im tired from school and blah blah blah." He sat up and looked at me. "She believe's me for now. I don't know how long that will last though, you know how she gets." His voice trailed off.

"Yeah, I know what you mean man. Have you got anything?"

"It's been 2 weeks and I have nothing..." He looked down at his hands. "I just don't wanna give up hope. That's the worst thing I could do."

"Yes, that is. So what do we do next?" I asked as Aunt Rae stepped into the room looking at us both with worry in her eyes.

"Im not stupid boys. I know what's going on. Selena is missing isn't she?" She looked at Joe first then at me. She waited for awhile as both me or Joe didn't motion to answer. "That's what I thought." She sat down on the coffee table and sighed. "First off, what did you find at her house?"

I sighed and looked at her. "The only real thing we found was this note." I looked at Joe who was already sliding it out of his pocket. He now carries it everywhere just in case. He slowly handed it to Aunt Rae and she read it silently to herself. As she finished the note she slowly eased her attention to Joe.

"Honey..im sorry." She handed the note back to Joe and smiled. "Everything will be fine...what else did you find?"

"We saw one of the family portrates had her mothers face ripped out of it.." Joe told her.

"That is something, maybe the person who did this had something agaisnt her mother."

"That's so true! I never thought of that!" I said as I sat up. "Joe!" He looked at me with curious eyes.

"Yes?"

"Remember that her mom had an affar with that...uhmm. What was his name?"

"Justin right?" He looked at me.

"Yes!" I rubbed my head. "He said something about getting revange on her family..maybe it was him!"

"I bet it was..." His voice trailed off.

Selena's POV

I slowly woke up not remembering what happened. I searched the room and found that my clothes were all torn to pieces but some how still attached to my body. I wanted to jump up and run to the person who did this to me. I don't know who it was though. Why can't I figure out who this person is?

I knew I knew the person just couldn't hit my head on who it was. I wanted Joe. I missed Joe. I longed for Joe, but at the same time, I wanted Nick. I wanted him to tell me everything was going to be alright and pull me it his muscular arms and hold me like he used to, but I knew that wasn't going to happen. He hates me.

I saw a figure coming towards me and I wanted to kick and scream. I looked at them, this time more closely then I normally did. He looks so familar...just can't remember.

"Hello sunshine." He chuckled. "Havin' a good time? I sure am."

Does it look like im having fun dick? I wanted to say that so bad, but because of the tape over my mouth I could only think it.

"I know you are, your mother always had fun with me, until she left me." He trailed off and began pacing.

My mother? What did he do with my mother?...

"You don't remember me do you?" He laughed and brought his face close to mine. "I was hers before your dad's."
