The dress Alaina wore to the party. The middle one.

I pull into my grandparents house and I feel the tears come. I unlock the door to the house and am reminded of my grandma. It smells like her cooking and her. My mom said she was getting the will so, I'll have a few minutes to myself. (FYI I have no idea how wills work, so just roll with it for me. Thanks) I walk up the stairs and see a note from my grandma sitting on the dinner table.

Hey, Alaina we are obvious still on our trip. Hope to see you soon, oh and Chicken Alfredo is in the fridge for you. Love you baby girl!

I feel the tears go running down my cheeks. It's not fair they were amazing people and they die over a car accident, a car accident that probably wasn't a car accident. But if they would have just left later or even earlier then maybe they'd be alive. Why did they have to die, why couldn't they survive. I grab a picture of them and hold it to my chest. I walk down the hallway and into there room. It smells like my grandmas perfume. I slide down the wall and cry holding the picture frame for dear life.

I hear the door open. I quickly wipe the tears away and pull myself together. "Alaina?" I hear my mom say.

"I coming." I say and walk out of there room still holding the picture. She gives me a small smile.

"Hey honey. How are you doing?" She asks and walks towards me.

"Been better. How about you?" I ask and see a tear roll down her face.

"I hate it. I miss then already and I can't stop crying. I told the little two and they cried for a hour straight and they are just now going back to normal." She says and starts crying. I pull her into a hug. I will always be strong for my family even if they can't do the same.

"We will always miss them, just like great grandma. They will never be forgotten though." I say and rub her back.

She takes a deep breath which is shaky and pulls away. "K let's go through what they wanted when they... passed on." She says and we sit down at the table.

We read through the whole thing with laughs, duh moments, and more cries.

"Ok, so we need to get the whole family over so everyone gets what the grandparents wanted them to get." I say and she nods her head. "We can get boxes and put there names on it." I say look around the house.

"Yes we should. Alaina grandma and grandpa have letters for you. They change them every week and lucky for us they did it before they left." She says and holds up an envelope to me. I stare at it frozen. "Honey it's ok. You don't need to read it now." My mom says and I look at her. I nod my head and grab the envelope. I put it by my phone and keys. I don't want to read it. I can't not right now. I need something to focus on so I start and grab boxes from the basement.

We get a box for everyone that was supposed to get something. We just started with one box and then if we needed another one we would grab another.

"Did you call aunt Jackie? She also has a letter." My mom says.

"No, I couldn't beforel, but I will now." I say and grab my phone. It takes three rings before she picks up. She has a new baby at home and is a handful.

"Hey my favorite niece. How's it going?" I her her say.

"Not great. I have something to tell you and I know I should have called earlier, but I couldn't. It just made it seem so real." I say and fight tears.

"Alaina, please tell me what is wrong." She says and I hear worry in her voice.

"Grandma and Grandpa passed away in a car accident." I say and wait for her to say something.

"How- How long ago?" She asks so soft I could barely hear her.

"Four days ago. I sorry, but I couldn't-"

"It's fine. I know it's really hard for you. Are you at her house?" She asks. I nod my head even though I know she can't see me.

"Yes so is mom." I say and look over at her. She is packing things into someone's box.

"K, I'm coming over." She says and ends the phone. I set my phone down on the table next to the letter and my mom looks at me.

"She'll be here soon." I say and focus on packing everyone's things. 20 minutes later Jackie comes in. She runs to me and gives me a big hug. "We will never forget and you know she wants us to be happy." She says and pulls to look at me.

"I know, but she made me happy." I say and feel a tear run down my face.

"I know, but she will still be there to make us laugh." She says and smiles. I nod my head and smile back.

"Ok, so we need everything packed for certain people and there is a letter from grandma and grandpa." I say and my mom hands her them after they hug. Jackie looks at the letter before putting it in her purse.

"K lets get started." She says after reading through my grandma's will. We begin and tell stories that make us laugh until we fall to the floor.

Taylor's P.O.V.

"Yes I understand the deal, but you won't hurt her right?" I ask Sebastian.

"The deal is you give her to me and you get what you want in one piece. I don't have to say anything about what I will do to her." He says and ends the call. How am I going to pull this off. I think to myself and run my hand through my hair again.

"Hey where is Alaina?" Trinity asks walking into the room. I don't think she heard me because if she did she would have tried to kill me.

"She's with her mom. There talking about her grandparents wills and the funeral." I say and she nods her understanding. "What's with you? You seem stressed out." She says and leans against the door frame.

"It's complicated." I say and she nods her head.

"Is it about Alaina?" She asks and sounds a little protective.

"No. No it's about some stuff with a legal guardian." I lie.

"What fun. Talk later." She says and walks away. That could have sucked. "Oh and Greg wants to see you." She says and runs back out again. Great, what does he want? I go to this office and knock on his door.

"Come in." He says and I do.

"You wanted to see me?" I ask and sit down.

"Has Alaina found another lead?" He asks and looks up from his laptop to me. Straight to the point I guess.

"Not that I know of. Why?" I ask confused.

"Because she's been snooping in some things that could get her in really big trouble if she were to get caught." He says and rubs his forehead. "She's covering her tracks well, but it still scares me because she hasn't said anything to me."

"She's been busy and now she has to get the funeral for her grandparents ready and get their wills done." I say remembering that she's been gone for five hours.

"K I guess, if she gets a lead and tells you please come and tell me." He says and writes something down.

"I will." I say and stand up to leave.

"Hey. I really like that you're helping her through everything and you protect her. It's nice knowing that I'm not the only one." He says. I nod my head and feel more guilt in my chest. I walk back to the room and punch the wall. I wish I didn't have to do this stupid deal. It's not fair.

Alaina's P.O.V.

"K there everything is organized for what they wanted. Know we need to find a time for everyone so we can get the most out of this house and into our families houses." I say and move the last box, which was for Uncle Terry.

"Ya, I can do that for you. You have enough on your plate right now." My aunt says.

"Thanks are you sure though with the baby and all?" I say and she nods her head. "Ok." I say and look over at my mom.

"What are you going to do about your things. They won't fit in the trailer." My mom says and sounds sad.

"I am living with a friend. Everything will go to the house. If that's ok? Grandma and Grandpa were ok with it, I just didn't move my things in yet." I say coming up with the lie and trying not to give anything away.

"Who is this person?" My aunt and mom say at the same time. They take a few steps toward me. This isn't going to end well.

"A good friend." I say in defence.

"Is this person a boy?" My mom asks and folds her arms like aunt Jackie did.

"Why does it matter?" I ask trying not get Taylor beat up or involved with my crazy family.

"Because if my daughter is dating I want to know the little brat." She says and I look over at my aunt for help, but she nods her head agreeing with my mom.

"He's not little. He's 5'11 and his name is Taylor." I say because they would keep me here until I told them.

"I need to meet him." My Mom says.

"Fine, but later ok." I say and push my hair back in frustration.

"Promise we can meet him?" My Mom says.

"I promise." I say holding my hand up. They nod their heads and give me my own breathing room. "Now I'm tired and hungry so I'm going to leave." I say and they agree. "Call me when you find a date that everyone can come." I say to Jackie.

"Will do." She says. I hug both of them, grab my phone, keys, letter, and head out the door. I drive back to what I'm calling home now I guess.

I walk into the kitchen and find cold pizza. Yummm. I grab the container and look for a name just in case. Nope it's free to who ever wants it. I turn the corner and run into someone. "Sorr- oh wait never mind." I say and see who it is.

"You really need to watch where you're going." Bryce says and looks at the pizza. I move to the left to walk past him, but he blacks my way.

"I'm not in the mood to deal with your stupid ass today, so move." I say and he smiles.

"So you do swear." He says still smiling.

"Only when someone like you ticks me off. Now move or I will move you." I say with challenging voice.

"Good luck shorty." He says and puts his arms over his chest and puffs it out.

"When will you learn." I say shaking my head. I hit him in the nose, and he swings at me so I hit him in a very sensitive stop which makes him fall to the floor. "Leave me alone and that was for hitting me in the throat." I say and walk over him. He says a few choice words to me that are not nice, but I keep walking.

I walk to my room and start eating the pizza. I look down at my hands. They are healing very fast, which is good. After eating five pieces of pizza I bring it back downstairs. I use the computers in the lab room to try and find my lead. I hack into the files that I was looking at before and see the name. Sebastian Hale. I found my dad's killer. I actually did it. I scream a little. Why does that name sound familiar? Oh well who cares. I close the computer and run up to my room. The door is open and I hear Taylor talking to someone. He sounds nervous, but yet on edge, so I listen to the conversation. He hasn't been talking to me and it has me worried.

"Yes. She trusts me. I know the deal." Taylor says. What is he talking about? "Sebastian she will be there." He says. Wait Sebastian. Taylor's working with, no this can't be true. He, he- "She trusts me. Now I need you to trust me." He says. That son of a bitch. He wants to hand me over to the person that killed my father. I turn around and run down the stairs. I can't believe this, out of all the people that are two faced he would do this to me. He, the one that's been claiming to be more than a friend to me.

"Alaina what's wrong?" Trinity says after I almost run her over.

"Taylor is working with the person that killed my father and wants to hand me over to him. I need to get away. I'll call you when I can." I say and sprint out the door. I run out the building and onto the streets. I start running again when five guys appear in front of me. Shi. I'm going to kill Taylor. One comes at me and I doge out the way. My phone flies out of my pocket and the screen breaks. That's just great, how am I going to call Trinity when I'm done with these people. Then they all come at the same time. I fight them off, but then something is stabbed in my neck. I feel dizzy and things get blurry. I fall to the floor with six men looking down at me.

Taylor's P.O.V.

I hang up the phone and see Trinity there with her arms crossed.

"Let me explain before you say anything." I say, but she punches me in the jaw. Ok, I deserved that. Then she kicks me in the stomach. Yup deserved that to.

"Greg will be here soon and so will Zack. I can't believe you would do something like that to her. She trusted you and what do you do, you throw it in the water. She has a hard enough time trusting people. Do you have any idea how this affects her. She will probably never trust anyone again and it's thanks to you. And so help me if she gets hurt I will kill you. You don't deserve to even be here right now." She says and stands her ground. Zack comes running in and glares at me.

"If'd you let me explain this-" But before I can finish my sentence Zack knocks me to the ground. My stomach will definitely have a bruise. I stay on the ground because if I try getting up they will most likely kick me to the ground again. Greg comes in and looks ferrous.

"So help me if what I hear is true you will end up in hell." Greg says and looks down at me. "Is it true you were going to hand over Alaina to the person who killed her father? The person that wants to hurt her?"

"Yes, but before I get killed let me explain why." I say and all of them look at me like they're planning on killing me right here right now.

"Good luck trying to explain this." Greg says and folds his arms. I stay on the ground holding my stomach.

"Sebastian the person that killed Alaina dad has my sister. She lived with my aunt and when my sister went to camp they kidnapped her because they knew I was close to Alaina. He said that if I didn't give Alaina to them then he would torture my sister. They don't know where I live or anything, so they don't know where this place is. I was going to tell Alaina that I need to put a tracker on her and tell her how everything was supposed to go. She was supposed to go with them and I would get my sister. Once my sister was safe I would get Alaina out and you guys were supposed to help me." I say and look at all of them. They seem to debate if what I'm telling them is true, but I see them coming around. "I wouldn't hurt her, you all know this."

"So you decided to wait to the last minuet to let everyone in on this. That doesn't make sense. I could have helped you." Greg says and sounds frustrated not mad.

"I didn't want to blow my cover or have more people involved than needed." I say and slowly stand up. "Where is Alaina?" I ask because she needs to know before they grab her. I know they found close to my location.

"She ran because she found out what you were doing and said she would call me when she got to safety." Trinity says.

"Where she can't be out there. They will find her and-" Before I can finish my phone rings. I look at the caller ID. "It's Sebastian." I put it on speaker.

"Hello?" I say and everyone looks at me.

"Hello Taylor. Looks like your girlfriend tried to run when you told her. It's fine though we found her." He says and laughs.

"What about my sister?" I ask and everyone leans in to hear my phone better.

"She will be the bridge in five minutes. Get there fast or she might drown." He says and laughs again.

"Don't you dare harm her you son of a bitch." I say, but he ends the line."I'm getting my sister." I say to everyone and walk out the door.

"We are coming with." Zack says and follows me. I don't say anything. I run to my car and they follow. I drive way over the speed limit to reach the bridge in time. Once I pull up I see my sister and two men have her over the bridge. I run to her, but hey drop her in the water. I dive in the water after her.

I'm able to grab her and pull her above the water. I undo the mouth piece and untie her hands.

"They they were mean to me T-Taylor." She says hugging me. I hold her close to me and walk out of the water. She's just a child, how could they do this?

"They will never touch you again." I say to her and she grips on to me tighter. I walk back up to the bridge and see Zack, Trinity, and Greg there. "Did you get the men?" I ask still holding my little sister.

"No they took pills before we could get them. It was suicide." Greg says and walks to me. Sara my little sister looks at him and holds me even tighter.

"He won't hurt you. He's my friend." I say to Sara. She nods, but doesn't loosen her grip. "He is Greg. That's Trinity and that's Zack. They are all here to help. They won't hurt you. I promise." I say and she nods her head. Trinity walks up to Sara with a bright smile.

"Should we get you some good clothes?" She asks and Sara nods. "Come on." Trinity says and holds her hand out.

"Can I go?" Sara asks. I nod my head. She whispers in my ear. "Will you come with too?" She asks looking at me with big eyes. I nod my head again and she smiles just a little. I look over at Greg.

"We need to get Alaina, but I have no clue where to start. The only info I have is the building is in this city and it's a big place than no one would ever want to go." I say and he looks at Sara.

"Hey Sara. Do you know where they had you?" Greg asks in a very soft gentle voice.

"No, they had me blind folded most of the time and when they didn't I was in a very boring room." She says and sounds scared.

"Can you tell me what the boring room looked like?" Greg asks and kneels down at her level. I want to tell him to leave her alone, but she seems ok talking about it for now.

"There was a chair and it was all grey, no color. There was only one window and it was on the door. Men would look through it and nod their heads when the blindfold wasn't on." She says and her voice gets a little quieter.

Before I can say anything to Greg to stop he gets up and says "Thank you. You've helped out a lot." He smiles at her and looks back at me. "I will start the search. She needs to stay protected, so when you're done with everything bring her back to the institution." He says in my ear. I nod my head. Greg called someone to pick him up so it was Zack, Trinity, Sara, and me in my car. We head to the store and go shopping to get something for Sara.
