I don't own Austin & Ally

Ally's POV

Previously

"Okay Grandma, I forgive you. Only because I don't want the same thing to happen that did with Aunt Trish", Ella stated. Wait a second…

"Hey, where is Trish?", I asked. I could've sworn she was here before I went outside, but she's nowhere to be found now. Now that I think about it, she never spoke through the whole conversation about Maddie and Porter, and I know she would've been the first to have something to say about that. Where could she be?

"She was here before I went outside", Ella said confirming my thoughts. I knew it! We ran in the room where the guys were to see if she was with them….but she wasn't.

"Have any of you guys seen Trish?", I asked, starting to panic.

"No", they all replied.

"Why?", Austin asked, being the first to look up from the football game they were all currently glued to.

"We can't find her anywhere", Kelsey said.

"WHAT!? SHE"S MISSING!?", Dez shrieked.

"We don't know", I sighed.

"What do you mean 'you don't know'!? Either she's missing or she's not!" Dez yelled. He was starting to freak out, and I know he's worried about Trish, so I didn't say anything about him yelling at me. I would be doing the same if it was Austin, and I'm freaking out myself because she's my best friend!

"She was here when I went outside, but we can't find her anywhere now. She wasn't there during our girl conversation, so we're assuming she wasn't there at that point", I explained, trying not to cry.

"OH NO! NO, NO, NO! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!", Dez yelled while pacing back and forth and ripping at his hair.

"Sweetie, please calm down", Mimi begged, placing a hand on Dez's shoulder. He just pushed her away from him.

"CALM DOWN!? I can't just 'calm down' when my girlfriend's missing!", Dez exclaimed.

"Uncle Dez, you're scaring me", Ella said, her lip trembling.

"Me too", Toby said and hugged my daughter tightly. I would say how cute they were like that if they weren't so terrified, Trish wasn't missing, and Dez wasn't freaking out…well, more than usual. Sorry, no time for jokes…or well, half jokes. Dez noticed the kids' terrified expressions (including Kelsey's; poor girl), but was still freaking out. He was breathing heavily and seemed as if he were about to pass. Poor Dez, I hope he's okay.

"Dez, calm down. You're really scaring the kids", Austin said grabbing his shoulders. Dez had tears streaming down his face, and so did I. She's my best friend! Dez apparently couldn't take it anymore and just ran outside. Austin and I looked at each other, but quickly followed.

Maddie's POV

I was just sitting outside, talking and laughing with Porter, when I see Dez run out the door balling his eyes out. "Dez, what's wrong!?", I asked hugging him. He was curled up into a ball with his head between his knees. Austin and Ally quickly ran out the door and over to us. "Guys, what's wrong with Dez!?", I asked, then noticed Ally was crying too, and it looked like Austin was trying not to. What happened!?

Ally pulled me aside while Austin and Porter were trying to get Dez to calm down. "Trish is missing", she said.

"What!? What do you mean she's missing!?", I asked as quietly as possible.

"Missing: nowhere to be found, not here, strange and sudden disappearance", she said using the dictionary definition of missing. I would say something about that, but this is too serious of a situation.

"When did this happen?", I asked. I didn't see anyone come in or out of the house…

"You and Porter were out here, the guys were watching football, and all the girls were talking in the living room. We never saw her come in there with us, so we're assuming it happened before all that", she said sighing.

"Are you sure you looked everywhere, because I was out here this whole time with Porter and never saw anyone go in or out of the house?", I asked. She shook her head.

"Neither of you noticed when Ella and I came out here or went back in, so they could've slipped by", she said.

"When was this?", I asked. I don't remember them coming out here.

"When you two were talking. I wasn't eavesdropping though, I just came out here to look for Ella", she said.

"But she was eavesdropping", I concluded.

"Pretty much", Ally said.

"Should we go into town and ask if anyone's seen her?", I asked.

"I don't know. I don't know what the people are like here", she sighed again.

"Ally, are you okay?", I asked. She looked really upset, but seemed to be trying to stay strong.

"Y-Yeah", she stuttered, but she wouldn't look me in the eye.

"Ally, please tell me the truth. This is just between us. I know Trish is your best friend, so this has to be really hard on you", I said softly. Ally turned to me with tears in her eyes.

"I'm s-so scared!", she cried. Oh, I hate seeing her like this. She's always been so strong and supportive for me, so it's my turn to return the favor.

"It's okay Ally, we'll find her. Trish is a really smart girl, and she's a fighter. I'm sure she's fine wherever she is", I assured her. I really hope that's true though.

"She's my best friend! We're like sisters! She shouldn't have even been here! It's my fault she's involved in any of this!", she cried. I just hugged her.

"Just have faith in God that she'll be okay. Whatever happens, just know that everything will turn out fine. Remember when she and Ella went missing when you were in the hospital?", I asked. She nodded, sniffling.

"Y-Yeah, w-what about it?", she asked.

"Weren't you fearing the worst then?", I asked.

"Yeah, I thought I was going to lose my daughter and best friend forever", she said.

"And did it all turn out alright that time?", I asked pointedly.

"Yeah, but look where we are! We changed our names and ran to Tennessee! I've never even heard of this town! My best friend's missing again, and I don't know if she'll be coming back this time", she cried.

"Ally, look at me", I instructed. She looked up at me, with tears still streaming down her face. "Did it not turn out okay that time?", I asked again. She nodded. "And did it not turn out alright that day at the beach? Or when Austin was shot?", I asked. She nodded again. "Why do you think that is?", I asked.

"Because I prayed for them to be okay, and trusted God would make everything better", she said in a childlike manner. I smiled.

"So what makes you think everything won't turn out fine this time?", I asked.

"I-I don't know. I'm so confused", she said.

"Come on, let's pray for her safety", I said. She nodded.

"Wait", she said. I turned to her confused. "Let's get everyone to pray with us."

"Okay, I think that's best"

Third Person POV

"Dear Lord, please make sure my best is safe and comes home", Ally prayed. They were all taking turns praying for their missing friend, and crying all the while. When it got to Dez, he could barely talk.

"P-Please Lord, m-make her s-safe! I l-love her so m-much!", Dez cried. Ella put her hand in her uncle's before taking her turn.

"Lord, I don't know where Aunt Trish is, but please let her be safe. I don't want her to leave yet. She needs to come back home so we can all be happy again and my Mommy and Uncle Dez will stop crying. I don't like it when they cry Lord, so please bring Aunt Trish back", she prayed. By this point, everyone was in tears, and no one could hold them in anymore, but they trusted that the Lord would bring Trish home.

"Amen", everyone said sniffling.

Hey guys! So what'd you think? I know the chapter was a little short, but I had to change it a lot from what I originally had. I hope you liked it, because I know I did (not trying to brag or anything). Anyway, please read, review, follow, and favorite! ;P

God Bless you all!
