I'm Only Me When I'm With You (Raura) *EXTREME EDITING*

Chapter 12

Laura P.O.V.

"My sister is still alive."

The note. I checked it one more time. I was sure it was Vanessa's handwriting. A cry for help.

"Laura, your sister was kidnapped a few years ago. There isn't a huge possibility that she is still alive."

"Rydel, this is Vanessa's handwriting. I would know. I have been reading her diary. Wait? Where is it?"

I pushed the matress off of my bed and saw it was still there. I believe that this had clues to finding her in it, but I wasn't sure how to figure them out. I grabbed the book and ran out of that house as fast as I could. Everything was gone. A tear slipped down my cheek. My sister, my parents, my house, my sister's necklace, my parents' rings. Everything was gone. I got in my car and drove away as fast as I could. Rydel was following me. I walked in my new home and ran upstairs crying. I bumped into Rocky on the steps. I tried to get by, but when he noticed I was crying he stopped me.

"Are you okay?" I nodded. "I-I'm F-fine." I said between sobs. Rocky put his arm around me and guided me to my room. "Wanna talk to me?" I nodded. We sat on the small couch in my room. Rocky held my hand. "Talk to me." I looked up at him. I explained the whole thing. "After my sister was kidnapped, I found her diary hidden under the matress on her bed. I read it and studied it thinking it would have clues to help me find her. I still do read it, its stupid-" I got cut off by Rocky.

"It's not stupid. You love your sister. I would do the same for my crazy siblings." I smiled. I finished the story. "When we went to my house, everything was almost fully burned. The things I kept to remember my family were gone." Rocky stopped me again. "You don't need material things to remember them, they will always be right here." He pointed to my heart. Rocky knew just how to make me smile.

"The only things were a picture of me and my ex, Travis, and this diary. I picked up the picture and broke it. I found this note inside the frame. It's Vanessa's handwriting. It's a call for help." Rocky took the small paper out of my hand and looked at it. "Wait, what's this on the back?" I looked over at him and he pointed to a part of a symbol on the back. "I think that's from the place Travis took me to on my birthday every year and on our first date..."
