Chapter 1 - He Found Her

All those months, the cloody days that lasted forever, all the lonley nights that seemed to have lasted even longer. He had thought that these feelings would have gone away when his questions were answered. But now there were even more, and questions that he would also have to answer. All because... she had been finally found.

Quickly he pulled out of the parking lot and headed for his home. As he spun around the corner the portfolio slid across the seat, and he found himself looking at it from the corner of his eyes. Wondering what the contents were, he didn't look at them when the private investigator had handed them to him just moments before in the office building. He just grabbed them and left, he was angery, to hurt. And he knew that she was just as much, maybe even more so.

And all because of him and his stupidity. A year ago they began their relationship, all in secret, behind their friend's backs. Taking quick moments to be together whenever they could behind closed doors. Pretending they didn't like eachother when they were in public just to throw prying eyes off. But then he got drunk and fell into his greatest fuck up to date.

He had betrayed her with not only cheating but agreeing to the engagement to the other woman. All in one night, all because of his ex. They had gotten into a dissagreement that night, what about he couldn't now remember. But he went out with a bunch of his friends and drank himself to the point where he might as well have been a puppet in the strings. Arie, his ex,had found him then and they fucked in the bathroom of the bar right then and there.

They then went to one of the biggest clubs together, where Arie announced that they were not only back together but engaged to be married. Still heavily inebriated, not realizing what was really going on, he agreed with everything that Arie said. But when he woke up the next morning in his bed everything came back to him, suddenly he was engaged to his ex, and lost his love.

Arie had managed to pull off the wedding plans that day and set the wedding for the following Saturday. As he had came down to the lobby of the hotel he had been bombarded by fans, and press about the 'wedding' and the tour. He had looked across the lobby and saw HER, standing next to Howie looking at him with pain in her eyes that was so strong he felt is hit his body with such force he nearly fell to the ground himself to cry.

She shook her head to attempt to hide the pain from everyone else, but he knew it was there. He had watched her leave the hotel alone, as Howie walked to join him, to get him away from the fans. And that was the last time any of them saw HER. He had managed to clear up the rumors in a few days, managed to ditch Arie and her issues. But no one knew where SHE had gone.

All that was left was a note taped to the door of Kevin and Brian's tour bus that read:

And that was the last that anybody heard from her, and that was 5 months ago. They would call her cell, no answer, they even stopped by her house only to find it vacant. At award shows she was nowhere to be seen or she always managed to miss them. Even her bestfriend and fellow bandmate, Kara wouldn't tell them anything when they managed to get ahold of her.

All of the guys wondered what had happened to her, why she was avoiding him, all except him... he knew why and it ate at him each and every time he took in a breath.

About 3 months ago, he hired a private investigator to locate her. He heard from Kara that they were working on the new album at HER new place. But Kara wouldn't tell him where that was. Knowing HER it could be anywhere in the USA or even in Spain or Austrialia even. But now, he knew where she was and why she was keeping in hidding from the world.

He pulled off the road onto the private drive to his home. His home was hidden from all sides by trees on over 150 acres of land an hour out of town. As he pulled up to the huge ranch he saw a BMW, and for once he was relieved to know his pushy bestfriend was again at his house to check on him. Because he knew what was in that folder was going to affect them all.
