A/N: Hey, guys! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing…it makes me feel all good inside! I wrote this chapter differently…after hearing this song I just had this need to incorporate it into this very chapter. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 16: Invisible
? POV
I can feel you all around
"We aren't friends. I never wanted to have anything to do with you guys."
I felt my heart shatter into a million little pieces when I heard her say that. My brain went blank, and for a moment I couldn't even function. All I could do was watch her leave the apartment…leave my life.
In the silence, I hear the sound
Of your footsteps on the ground
And my heart slows down
The others looked just as shock as I felt. I knew none of us believed what she said. The look in her eyes was one of pain and sorrow, not one of anger and malice. But her words still struck us deep, like a rusty dagger.
After what felt like eternity, the guys and I snapped out of our trance. Wordlessly, we all went inside her apartment, hoping that we'd find her there. We didn't.
So now I'm
As a group, we decided to give her time, praying that she'd come to her senses and let us help her. Two days passed and she never came back. We'd set a plate for her during every meal, hoping she'd show up and things would be normal again. But we neither saw nor heard from her. It was as if she only existed in our memory…like some spectre. We were becoming worried. What if she was in trouble…hurt? Or maybe even…
I'm waiting for the moonlight
So I can find you in this perfect dream
None of us wanted to think about it. But we knew it was something we had to consider. We called the police, hoping that maybe they had found her. They hadn't. That night, in one final attempt to save her, the boys and I searched the city.
Don't think that you can hide there in the shadows
Girl you're not invisible
We divided ourselves into two groups of two. My partner and I took the west side; the others searched the east. Desperately, we cried out her name…but to no avail. I looked over to my friend, fear and sadness etched on his face. As we explored every nook and cranny, my mind began to drift.
You're all that I can see
For the past two days, I could only think of her. Her face, her eyes…the smiles she thought no one saw appear on her face. The way she'd laugh at us when we did something stupid. The way she'd always get us out of a jam when we found ourselves knee deep in a predicament. The way my heart fluttered when she looked at me, the sparks I felt when she touched me.
I nearly fell over as I realized the truth. I love Leigh.
I wanted to kick myself for not recognizing it sooner. Morbidly, I wondered if I'd ever get the chance to tell her.
Girl you're not invisible
Glancing down at my watch, I felt my heart sink. We'd been at this for two hours already and we've come up with nothing. Not even Madam Wok had seen Leigh. I was losing hope, and I was losing it fast. And by the look on my friend's face, he was starting to give up as well.
Girl you're not invisible
You're all that I can see
I started to say something to him, to encourage him to continue looking; when I felt two strong hands grab me, jerking me backwards. I heard a scream to my left, and knew my companion was in the same bind as I was. My "fight or flight" response kicked in as I struggled against my foe's grasp. For a moment, my assailant's hold on me weakened. But then, quick as a flash, his grip strengthened and I felt him shove something against my mouth, forcing me to inhale. I tried to fight back, but it was useless. Against my volition, I felt myself growing more and more tired. Darkness began to creep into my line of vision, enveloping me in a world of oblivion.
And my heart slows down
A/N: Mwhahahahaha…evil cliffhanger of DOOM. So…which boy realized they love Leigh? Let me know whose POV you think this is in! After writing this chapter, I think I know who I want Leigh to end up with. But I definitely want to hear who you think she should be with!
If the lyrics are messed up, blame the Internet! These were the lyrics I found, so I have nothing to do with the inaccuracies. And I do realize I left out a verse and a lot of the chorus…I hope it doesn't annoy you too much. It was the only way I could think of doing it.
Again, I'm not sure when I'll be able to update next, but I'll do it as soon as I can! Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed the latest installment of Big Time Mystery!
