I'm back. Jeez, I'm terribly sorry about the delay :/ Hope you can forgive me!

Thanks for all the support anyway, and for waiting.

Enjoy and review.

Jazzie's POV.

When I woke up, it took me a moment to realize where I was. The windows of the car where steamed up and I couldn't see where I was, but I could tell the sun was rising because the light coming through the vapor looked kind of reddish. Tom wasn't by my side, everything was so quiet. I was cold and my whole body hurt.

"Dammit..." I mumbled, in pain. I knew this would happen. At least I was alive! I still can't believe I jumped... I mean, it's not that high, but still...

I scrubbed my jacket against the window [a/n: first time I ever use that verb, is it correct?] and saw a huge hotel. I opened the door and closed it inmediately; for God's sake, when did it get that cold?

I turned on the radio and tried to think about something else rather than my frozen feet. I smiled when I heard one of McFLY's song's starting. I missed Dougie.

Tom opened the door quickly, making me jump, and sat on the driver's sit.

"Sorry" he said "I didn't mean to scare you"

"It's alright, I'm just sleepy"

"Was I gone for too long?"

"I dont know, I just woke up" I said.

He gave me a cup of coffee from Starbucks, which was great to get a bit warmer. I started drinking it inmediately, feeling the warm liquid falling down inside my body. It felt so good. I noticed how hungry I was, I hadn't had dinner.

"So... What do we do now?" he asked.

Everything was so quiet, I think I blushed, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Well... I guess we just wait for her to show up" I said.

He raced an eyebrow "Jazzie, this park is huge, you will never just see her walk by. We will have to walk around to try to find her."

I sighed "Let's go, then"

"It's seven in the morning, she won't be here" he said.

"She could be!" I said, sounding a bit too desperate for my 'i-dont-give-a-shit-about-anything' usual mood.

He sighed "It's really cold, Jazzie. It's even still dark outside! Don't you want to go back to sleep for a while?"

I sighed too, impatiently "No!" Truth is, that sounded quite great actually.

I opened the car and tried not to show how cold I was as I stepped out of the car. I looked around, clenched my hands into fists inside my pockets and started to walked towards the park. Jesus Christ, I really didn't think this through, did I? This is so unlike me, not being selfish is a real pain in the ass, I never thought doing the right thing -or what seemed like the right thing to do- could be so hard or annoying.

The place was seriously huge. It seemed endless. There were tall and big trees everywhere, she could be easily standing behind one of them and I would never just see her there. I could see the lake from where I was standing, park benches sorrounded it. It surely had to be a romantic place, but my mind wasn't focus on that.

After running my fingers through my hair several times, something both Dougie and I do when we're either nervous or just don't know what else to do, I decided I would start by walking all around the park.

Tom joined me, though he didn't seem too happy about it, but he didn't complain either. Lovely Tom doesn't know what complaining is, he doesn't know what he's missing. Seriously, you've got to admit it; complaining is so sweet, we all love doing it.

Well, walking around the park took a while. And when I say a while, I mean around an hour or more, I don't really know, I don't have a watch, but it felt like an eternity. My legs were shacking, but I forced them to go on. Little bit little, a lovely red light covered the top of the trees and it felt so damn good when the sunlight finally reached my face, though I was still freezing.

People started showing up, carrying bags with pretty images on them, all happy, all excited, it was nearly Christmas now. It made me want to punch them or something. It made me jealous.

I met Tom again, who didn't look too happy either, but at least he didn't look annoyed anymore.

"Hey, Rudolph" he said.

"What?" I asked, completely lost. Can your brain freeze?

He rolled his eyes "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer? You're nose's red"

"Oh" I said, my face expressionless "Hilarious"

Tom sighed. Yeah, I know, my mood's annoying "Ready to give up? Or at least take a break?"

"If I stop walking, I'll freeze and die" I said.

"You're so dramatic"

"And I love it" I smiled at him and kept walking. It would take me a couple of hours to get to the point in which I wouldn't be able to walk anymore and I would take advantage of that.

I walked all around the freaking place for two hours and I didn't see any sign of Stephanie. Like there would be signs, anyway.

By noon, I was way too tired. I sat in front of the lake, in a bench that was so cold that made my butt tremble. Tom joined me after a while, he was carrying our lunch -which were two sandwiches for each other-. He sat down next to me and started at my exhausted face.

"Say it" I said after a while, still feeling his eyes on me, but I wasn't going to meet them.

"What?" he asked softly.

"Say I've failed. I failed him."

"You haven't failed Dougie. The day's not over yet"

"We don't even know if she'll be here"

"It's Christmas, pray for a miracle"

I rolled my eyes "That's so lame, Tom."

He smiled. "Look, I'll be in the car. My phone's there, I'm going to call some friends, maybe someone knows something about her... You rest for a while, we'll keep looking later"

I nodded and just stared at the lake as I hate.

What if she didn't come?

I had to believe she was coming. Where else would she go on Christmas if she had no one else? She wasn't coming back to her family, for what I'd heard that wasnt' even a possibility. So, if she wasn't spending the night with her friends, her family or Dougie, where else could she be?

She had to come.
