A/N: Update! Thank you for reviewing and doing everything else, I love you guys! :) So, I'm thinking about starting a new story soon, like I'll still have this one on the go, but I'll have another one too! Should it be supernatural? Or just normal? You guys tell me! :)

Disclaimer: don't own A&A, but own everything else not associated with it.

Oh and there is one swear in here, the "F" word, but this will be the only one throughout the story, besides the "S" word...sorry if any of you are against that :/

Ally POV

I walked in the door of the house and was immediately met with an angry Austin stalking down the hall towards me.

"Where the hell were you?" He exclaimed before I could even shut the front door.

"I went to talk to my boss at Marianne's," I said, walking past him. "Why are you so pissed?"

"You've been gone for five hours! I came home and you weren't here; you didn't write a note, text me, call me, nothing!"

I sighed. "Austin, relax. I didn't think you would be home this early."

"I was really worried about you."

"Why?"

He stared at me like I was stupid. "Ally. You've been gone for five hours. We don't need the same thing to happen to you like it did to Leah!"

It had been four days since Leah had gone missing. The police had found her car at a gas station but no sign of her, sadly. The security camera inside didn't even catch anything that would give better leads.

I put my hands on his arms. "I'm sorry I didn't leave a note or anything. I didn't mean to worry you like that. I'm fine."

He stared at me before softening and pulling me into a hug. "Don't scare me like that again."

"I promise I won't."

He followed me into the living room. "Why were you gone five hours?"

"I got stuck in traffic and I went to drop Maci off at your parents', plus I talked to my boss about shifts and talked to Trish at her new job. I was all over Miami."

"Where is she working now?"

"The zoo. She cleans the animal pens."

"Gross," Austin shuddered.

I smirked. "Such a man."

"Hey, cleaning animal pens is disgusting. Who enjoys that?"

"Zookeepers. I wouldn't worry; I say she lasts a day." I grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. "So what did you do today?"

"Stopped by Dez's place to play video games then we went to the mall and met up with Jace."

"What were you doing at the mall?"

"Shopping," he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Well, sorry I don't find many guys that like shopping. Get me anything?" I teased.

"Nope!" He said, rather quickly. "Sorry, babe, next time."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you okay?"

"Never been better, now that I know you're safe."

Well played, Moon, well played.

Before I could interrogate him any further, the landline rang. Austin walked over to the table and grabbed it. "Hello?"

I took a sip of water as he listened to whoever was on the other line. "Are you fucking serious?" That caught my attention and he looked at me, phone still pressed to his ear. "Okay. Oh god. Where are you guys? Maci is at my mom and dad's so Ally and I are leaving now. Thanks, dude. See you later. Bye."

"What happened?" I asked when he hung up.

"They found Leah," he grinned.

"Aaaaaaah!" I screamed with happiness as I ran over and threw my arms around him. "That's such a relief! Where?"

"Well, she was in a secluded part of Miami. Someone found her crawling up the ditch on the highway and called the police. They brought her to the hospital."

"The ditch?" My eyes widened. "She must have gotten away."

"I know but who cares, they found her and she's alive. Let's go!" Austin and I rushed out the door to his vehicle and made our way to the hospital.

"Who was on the phone?" I asked.

"Jace. He said they're all at the hospital right now."

"Oh, thank god she's safe and sound," I breathed.

"No kidding. Now that family doesn't have to worry anymore."

"That poor girl is going to have nightmares," I said sadly. "She was obviously abducted."

"More than likely, yeah. I'm just glad she got away. That girl never fails to amaze me with her strength and determination. And she's only sixteen."

When we arrived at the hospital ten minutes later, it turned out to be rather busy and it took a while to find a place to park. We finally found a spot and ran inside. Jace met us at in the lobby.

"Hey, Jace," I breathed from the running. I hugged him. "How is she?"

"She's got a sprained knee, cuts and bruises and a concussion but other than that, she's okay," he said. "The ambulance brought her in a couple hours ago."

"Oh, I'm just so happy she's alright," I smiled. "Where's Quinn?"

"With Leah. Our parents are at the food court getting Leah food. She's been here an hour and she's already complaining about the food." He rolled his eyes when he said it, but you could tell how happy Jace was to have his youngest sister back. "Come on, visiting hours just started."

We followed him down the hall and up a flight of stairs to the second level of the hospital. Leah's room wasn't far down the hall.

"Knock knock," Jace said, even though the door was open.

"Hey, guys!" Quinn exclaimed, running over to give both me and Austin hugs.

"Hey girl," I smiled as I hugged her back.

"Hey, Leah," Austin said carefully as we walked more into the room. She looked like she was just waking up from a nap. There was a cut on her lip and her one cheek was a little bruised, but other than that, she looked okay. Her knee was also wrapped up with a brace. Her long curly brown hair was in a side ponytail. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm nursing a killer headache, but other than that, I'm fine," she smiled tiredly. The bags under her eyes were big and she had lost weight. "I didn't know you two were coming. I missed your handsome and gorgeous faces."

"Jace called us," Austin told her.

"We can come back though, you look like you're exhausted," I said, but she cut me off mid-rant.

"No, stay! It's okay, really," Leah said. She tried to pull herself up a bit but Jace and Quinn stopped her.

"Jesus, Leah, don't move too much!" Quinn told her.

"You'll screw up your knee and get dizzy," Jace agreed.

"Oh my god, I'm not broken, you guys," Leah snapped at her older siblings. "I swear I'm fine, don't baby me so much. God, I hate being the youngest." She brushed a loose strand of hair out of her eyes. "So, how's Maci? I miss that little girl of yours."

Austin smiled. "She's great. She's missed you, too."

Leah's parents came in. "Here's some food, honey," Becky said, setting the tray on her daughter's bedside table.

"Thanks, mom," she said.

"No problem, we're just glad you're okay," Becky said, tearing forming in her eyes.

"Mom, please don't cry. Dad, control her," Leah sighed as she broke crackers over her soup.

There was a knock on the door and we all looked up to see two detectives standing there. "We're sorry to bother you, but I'm Detective Marshall, this is Detective Stevens," the female detective said, gesturing to her partner on the last name, a male. "We need to ask your daughter a few questions," the female said to Becky and Allan.

They hesitated. "Right now?"

"It would be best. We're sorry, but it's urgent. Immediate family is welcome to stay."

Allan sighed and nodded. "Alright."

"We'll come back," I said to Leah. Austin nodded in agreement.

"No, you guys can stay," Leah said.

"It's crucial that this stays confidential," Detective Stevens spoke up.

"Austin and Ally won't tell anyone. Either my friends stay, or I don't talk. Your choice." Leah crossed her arms to make her point and I could see a smile form at the corner of Allan's mouth.

Detective Marshall sighed. "Fine." She got out her little notebook, and Austin and I went to sit in the corner of the room. Since there was only one chair, I sat in Austin's lap.

"Now, Leah. Tell us what happened," Stevens started.

"I went to get gas after work on Tuesday, so I stopped at the gas station close to where I work," Leah said strongly. She didn't seem as shaken as I thought she was going to be.

"Where do you work?"

"I'm a waitress at The Blue Moon."

The detectives nodded, jotting down what she said. "And what happened after you got gas?"

"I got back in my car and realized I forgot to grab peanuts because it was a long ride home and I love peanuts. I moved my car and parked it in the lot so I wasn't holding people up at the tank that needed gas before I went back into the little convenience store to buy the peanuts. When I came back out, some guy was at my car."

"Did you recognize him?" Quinn spoke up.

"Ma'am, leave the questions to the professionals, please," Detective Marshall said harshly.

"Ma'am? Professionals?" Quinn repeated.

"Uh oh," Austin muttered under his breath. I lightly elbowed him.

"Quinn Kelsey, don't," Allan warned.

"What? My sister was just found in a ditch after four days of being missing and I'm not allowed to ask a simple question that could solve this whole damn case?" she exclaimed. "And I'm hardly a ma'am, I'm nineteen!"

Jace grabbed her arm, but gently. "Let's go take a walk, sis."

"I can come," I offered, but Jace shook his head as they passed.

"It's better if I take her. She usually listens to me," he said.

"No, I don't," Quinn said.

He pushed her ahead of him. "Yes, you do. Let's go." They left the room. I could hear Quinn's bickering fade as they got farther down the hall.

"Sorry about my oldest daughter," Becky apologized. "That's how she shows she's…" She struggled to find the word. "Happy?"

Leah and Austin snorted with laughter while Allan and I failed to hide smiles.

"Back to the questioning," Detective Stevens said. "So you said this guy was at your car when you came back out, correct?" Leah nodded, but winced at the movement. Becky tried to help, but she swatted her mom away. "Do you remember what he looked like?"

"It was too dark. And from that point, I don't remember anything up until I woke up in a basement tied to a chair. I saw him after though; it was some random guy I had never seen before. Buzzed hair, tall and bulky with brown eyes. That's the best I've got."

"Did he physically hurt you?"

"He hit me with a wooden plank in the head when I lipped him off, hence my concussion," Leah said, pointing to her head with the hand that wasn't attached to an IV. "And he hit me occasionally, grabbing my hair and such, but nothing seriously bad. I mean, that's bad, but not like…well, you get it."

I winced. Austin wrapped his arms around me, pulling me back against his chest. He pressed his mouth against the back of my shoulder.

"I spent four days in the basement then managed to break free from my restraints with some sharp saw he had in the basement. The dummy even had a window down there, so I easily opened it and slid through at some point in the night. I had no clue where I was, it was cold and I couldn't see a thing. I was definitely in a forest of some sort because I scraped myself up on branches while running and tripped over a tree root, which is how I screwed up my knee. After stumbling everywhere the whole night freezing and in pain, just hoping I would find somebody to help me," Leah's voice cracked on the last sentence, her tough girl exterior finally fading. "I finally came to the highway late this morning. My knee couldn't take it anymore so I dragged myself up the ditch and some lady and her husband stopped to help me and called 911." She drew in a shaky breath, a few tears sliding down her cheeks. "And, well, you know the rest."

The detectives nodded. "We're working on finding the man who took you. No further questions. We'll let you rest. Thank you for your time."

Allan and Becky nodded and the detectives left. Everyone was quiet for a few seconds before Leah spoke up again. "Mom, Dad, can you give me a minute with Austin and Ally?"

"Sure, honey, and then I think it's time you rest again," Becky said. "Okay?"

Leah nodded and her parents left. I stood up and walked over to her bed, sitting down on the edge. Austin took a seat in the chair beside the bed. "Thanks," she said to me.

"For what?" I asked, confused.

"Staying with Quinn that one night," Leah replied. "She told me you went over and stayed with everyone. Both of you," she added, looking at Austin. "So thank you. I think you helped them stay sane."

"Quinn was pretty upset," Austin admitted.

Leah sighed. "Yeah, she gets like that. She'll be fine now since she knows I'm okay and I'm back, but she's still in shock. It takes time for her to process big things."

I nodded. "I get it. We're always here for you guys."

Leah smiled. "I know. That's why I love you both!" She opened her arms for a hug. Austin and I grinned and we both hugged her gently. "Awe, come on, you can squeeze me harder, I won't break," she joked.

I laughed and pulled away. "Just being cautious. But we better go so you can rest."

Leah pouted. "Okay. Well, text me or something and you can come down to hang with me and Quinn. I'll get sick of her and Jay eventually."

Austin grinned. "Sounds good. We'll see you later."

"Bye! Thanks for coming!" she said happily. We waved and left the room, saying bye to her parents on the way out. We found Quinn and Jace coming back down the hall on our way to the stairs.

"Leaving?" Quinn asked.

"Yeah, we'll let Leah rest," Austin said.

"I'll call you later, okay?" I told her, hugging her tightly.

"Okay, sounds great," Quinn smiled. I was glad to see her back to normal again. "Jesse is supposed to be coming later, too."

I nodded. "Good, I haven't talked to him in a while."

Austin and Jace were off talking to the side, so I went over to them. They quit talking as soon as they saw me. I brushed it off and took Austin's hand. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah," he said. "I'll see you later," he added to Jace.

"Text me!" Jace called after us.

"What was that about?" I asked as we got to the stairs.

"Just talking about Leah," he said.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Austin, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Nope, nothing. Everything is perfect."

"Okay," I said slowly. "If you say so."

"Oh, I do."

I shook my head before changing the subject. "Wanna just go out for supper? I don't feel like making anything."

"I was just about to ask you the same thing," Austin said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "Because I don't feel like cooking either."

"Marianne's?"

"Might as well, we get discounts!" my boyfriend said excitedly. "On pancakes!"

"We get discounts on everything we get there," I told him.

"Yeah, but I only care about the pancakes!"

I laughed and wrapped my arm around his waist as we walked out of the hospital. "Of course you do."

A/N: I hope that was a good chapter, but it was obviously good on the fact that LEAH IS SAFE AND SOUND AND BACK HOME! :) Hope you guys enjoyed it! And don't forget to leave me your opinions on which type of story to write next: Supernatural or just regular. I've got a few plot ideas already :)
