*Two weeks later*
We have been searching everywhere. I've spent hours driving around with Ian looking for him. There's no signs of him. He removed his Instagram and every social media. His aunt has no idea of where he could be. We have checked with everyone. "Another dead end..." I said and groaned after checking the twelfth apartment building. Ian sat down in the passenger seat. "You know... why would he make it this hard for us to find him? Ian I know why... I don't want to be found.. he don't want me anymore" I said and my vision started to blur from tears.
"No of course he don't want to be found! Why would he?! He hurt you he know he fucked up! Ashley I was a part of the bet but I didn't think it would go this fucking far! He fell in love with you, that's what happened. I have known him for years now and I've never seen him as happy as he was with you! So if you want to give up now go ahead... but I know Jax needs you and you seem to miss him pretty fucking much so pull yourself together please!" He said and I wiped my tears away.
"I'm going to Atlanta tomorrow... with Emma" I said and he shook his head, "I hope you're not telling me you're giving up..."
"No I'm not or I don't know, maybe he needs time...?" I said and sighted.
"You're joking now? He needs time? Ashley he saved videos of you... he hurt you and you're telling me he need time?"" I don't know! I need to think about something else than him! Where ever I go I see him! And I'm tired Ian. We can maybe continue when I'm back but I really need this" I said and he nodded quietly.
"Okay...I didn't take you as a girl who gives up..." he said and I turned to look at him.
"For god sake shut up! I never said I was giving up" I said and Ian grinned. "There's the Ashley I like" he said proudly and I rolled my eye looking back at the road.

"So what do I need to pack?" I asked Emma. She was laying on my bed watching me pack down clothes in my bag. She stood up.
"We are going shopping and partying... I've made us some fake IDs and trust me you're going to have fun" she said and grabbed a dress from my dress. "Fake IDs?" I asked. "Duh how are we supposed to get in to the clubs do you think?" She laughed and I smiled. "I don't know...""You know I wish we did something about your roots" she said and pointed at my blond outgrown hair. "No no it's fine" I mumbled and tied my hair up in a loose bun on my head.
"Tomorrow we want sexy confident Ashley not what ever this is" she said and scanned me from top to bottom. "Shut up" I said and threw a black satin dress from my closest at her."I hope you're packing this one with you because this is exactly what you need" she said and held the dress up. Normally I would think it was a bit too short and I am pretty sure I never used this dress before just because of the fact that it's showing pretty much. "Ugh you nun I know what you're thinking! Pack it please!" She said and threw it back at me.
I did as she said and smiled."I'll have to sit on the bag to even close it" I said and Emma smiled. "That's how you know you packed enough"

*The next day*"That looks like clothes for a whole month" dad said and pointed at my bag. Paul walked up to me and grabbed my bag to help me carry it to the car. "Thanks" I mumbled. I don't know if Paul is acting different towards me because of everything that happened or if he actually wants to be nice.
I hugged both dad and Paul goodbye and sat down in the front seat. Emma was sitting in the passenger seat. "Goodbye Paul! And Mr Robert's" she yelled before closing her car door. I looked at her. "What?" She asked. "I had to say goodbye to your hot brother" she said with a big smile on her lips. I didn't say anything. "Don't give me that look you would have done the same" she said and I laughed."We will be in exactly the right time, we will be at the hotel at 5PM and then we have ample of time to eat and do our makeup before 9PM witch is the time we need to be at the club" she said while doing her time calculations. I smiled. "That's great Emma"
I'm happy to have her back in my life. Even though things happened I'm glad to have her back. Sebastian was just a pretty bad holdback for us."How are we supposed to put up with this road trip if we have no music?" She asked and I smiled and turned up the radio.
Without the stop at Starbucks and McDonalds I don't think we could have driven the whole why. It was pretty energy taking even though we were just driving. But we finally made it to the hotel and I laid down at my hotel bed. "How are you tired?" Emma asked and unpacked her bag. "I drove the whole way" I mumbled and closed my eyes. Enjoying the mattress under me. "You know the bar we are going to have a pretty famous club owners" Emma said and pointed at her phone. "Search it up... There's two dudes you might know who they are, and if they will be there tonight I'll try to get one of them and imagine if you got the other one I think they're twins!" She said way too exited. I smiled and grabbed my phone searching them up. And yeah they were handsome. Maybe not exactly my type but they look fine. I closed my phone and decided that I really need to take a power nap before dinner and our makeup.
