These past few hours as he drove all I have been able to think about this other possible plan I have with Colton. About what Ethan would think and how upset he would be. But I knew this was the right thing to do.

Ethan's POV

I woke up with the sun in my eyes making me groan as I turned my head towards Amelia. I reached my arm out for her to bring closer to me missing her warmth making me frown. I opened my eyes realizing she was not in bed making me reluctantly sit up. I was about to get up to look for her until I noticed something pinned to her headboard.

I grabbed the note quickly noticing Amelia's handwriting.

"I'm alright. I have left to investigate more ways to help us. I know how you feel about me being alone and in dangerous situations. Like being kidnapped, shot, and losing our child. So, I knew I could not tell you because you would've done everything in your power to stop me. But please understand that I need to do this for us. I know you are upset with me and this decision I've made, but I hope you can soon come to forgive me.

I love you with my all my heart, Williams.

-Amelia."

By the time I had finished reading her note I had gotten dressed noticing how most of her clothes were gone before rushing downstairs. I quickly called Colton needing him to come over to help me find her. I frowned not getting an answer making me hang up to call Daniel and Lucas.

"What?" Lucas groaned making me notice it was eight in the morning as I started my car. "Somethings happened." I stated making him hum in reply obvious trying to wake himself up.

"Not Amelia again." He groaned making me fill with annoyance and frustration making him scoff at my silence. "I'll be there in 10." Lucas stated before hanging up making me punch the steering wheel as I came to a stop.

"What've you done?" I muttered as I raked my fingers through my hair roughly as I continued to drive home. Amelia's words rung in my ear and I rushed inside. My father looked up from his book as I walked past the living room making him call out to me.

"Ethan? Where have you been?" He asked as he stood from his chair making me stop in annoyance. My eyes met his cutting me off my response. His eyes nor any of his other features showed anger or worry making me frown as I faced him.

"With Amelia." I answered honestly desperately trying to figure him out. "Your mother has been worried." My father stated as he placed his book on the coffee table before shoving his hands in his pockets. "But not you apparently." I replied making him smile weakly.

"You've never made me worry. What worries me is how your mother's family has affected you. I'm glad to finally see you with someone who challenges it all." He stated waking towards me making me frown. "What do you mean?" I asked shocked not knowing how my dad really felt.

"Do you like the job you have?" He asked after a moment making me frown. "No one likes their job." I answered defeated making him stop in front of me at arm's length. "I'll take that as a 'no'." He said making me sigh as I tried to turn to leave.

"I have things to-" I started as I started walking out the room making him continue. "If you don't like your current job here then what do you expect with this one. The job that was handed you the moment you were born. You'll have even more responsibilities and decisions to make-"

"If this is your weird way of encouraging me, you're doing a shitty job." I interjected making him chuckle walking up to me again. "Just the opposite." My father corrected making me frown again confused as to why he is being to odd.

"You want a life with Amelia I assume." He said making me nod. "How will you have a life full of happiness and love with having to work with cruelty and murder away from her? I have made a huge mistake in letting your mother coax me into thinking this life was best for us. I now wish more than anything that I didn't and to help you have a normal life." My father confessed catching me completely off guard.

"You have a chance to be with the person you love with a life you truly want. Not a life that is handed to you by people who don't know you." He finished making me nod weakly before hearing the front door open.

"Hey, sorry I'm late." Lucas breathed as he rushed inside. "Hope I wasn't interrupting." He continued making me shake my head. "Have you heard from Colton?" I asked as I noticed my father leaving into the other room.

"Not since last night." He said as I followed him into the kitchen. "Why?" Lucas asked grabbing leftover pizza in the fridge. "Is this really why you woke me up at the crack of dawn?" He continued making me groan as I fisted my jacket pockets.

"She fucking left. Something about having to find another way." I answered bitterly making him frown. "'Another way' as in-" He began making me cut him off. "Yes." I gritted through my teeth as I sat down.

"She left me a letter sometime this morning. Who knows how long she has been gone. She could be out to God knows where." I rambled angerly making him frown in realization. "Why did you ask if I had heard from Colton?" Lucas asked making me shrug lightly as I pulled out my phone.

"I called him to meet us here, but he didn't answer." I said as I began to call him again resulting in another voicemail. "I'll call Daniel." He said as I pulled my phone away from my ear in annoyance.

"Did she leave willingly?" Lucas asked as he dialed his phone making me tense as I grabbed the note in my inner chest pocket. "Yes. She wrote that she was trying to find another way. Apparently, she didn't want to tell me for how I would've reacted." I stated running my thumb across her words that pulled at my heart strings. "I love you with all my heart, Williams."

"What other way?" He asked until Daniel finally answered him cutting me off. "Hey, where's your boyfriend?" Lucas asked dripping annoyance making me roll my eyes.

"What? Why?" Lucas continued making me frown at not being able to hear Daniel. "What is it?" I asked making him look up at me until Daniel continued.

"He said Colton is with her." Lucas stated as he pulled the phone away to hang up making me frown. I quickly stepped closer to him making Lucas sigh through a weak shrug. "Danial said Colton was helping her with whatever it is she's doing." He explained making me fill with rage and annoyance before punching my fist through the wall beside me.

"Why would he do that?" I breathed ignoring the blood and pain from my now scrapped knuckles. "I don't know." Lucas replied making me groan walking away from the new hole in the wall. "Is this ever going to fucking end?" I hissed throwing a book across the room before raking my bloody fingers through my hair.

"It'll be fine. We just must figure out what her plan is. You know her better than anyone. You have to get into her head and state of mind to try to find out what she could be thinking. Amelia is doing all this for you and your relationship. You know she would never do something to hurt you or leave with no good explanation as to why." Lucas stated sternly catching me off guard making me turn to face him.

"We have to get into her head and find out where she is going."
