Tayte's POV

What had just happened?

What the hell, had just happened?

My best friend.

The love of my life.

Had just been taken away from me, in front of my very eyes.

We heard footsteps and then Angelo, Talina, Parker and George came running into the room. They took one look at us and the empty bed,

  "Shit" Parker said. I got up off the floor and ran past everyone,

"Keane...KEANE..." there was footsteps coming after me, but I didn't stop. I dashed down the stairs, "KEANE," through the hospital and out of the door, "KEANE" I sank to the ground, arms soon wrapped around me and hugged me tightly. "He's gone," I began to cry, "My baby's gone"

"It'll be okay" Noah cried, I could hear in his voice that he was trying convince himself, more than he was trying to convince me. We stayed in that position for a little while and then I stood up. Noah's eyes were full of sadness and I could tell he was doing everything he could not to break. But I'd already broken, I was broken inside. Noah did however manage to persuade me to come back inside, he took my hand and guided me like a zombie, I was lost. The room was solemn, Parker, George and Tammara were all missing, all eyes turned to me,

   "Tayte..."

"No one say anything to me...because I don't want to fucking hear it..." I snapped, "Look around the room. Look at the empty bed, Keane is gone. My boyfriend, my best friend, the love of my life is gone. He was taken away from us, from me. In front of my very eyes and you can't see how much I want to tear the place down...You can't see how much my life has just been turned upside down. So I don't care what you have to say, and I don't want to hear what you have to say, unless you know where Keane is," I looked at Arlo, his face was that of devastation.

  "Tayte, you need to calm down,"

"Don't you fucking dare tell me to calm down. Keane is fucking gone. Galviao, Arlo's father and Rhina's lover has him somewhere and we are stood around doing shit all about it," I shouted kicking over a chair angrily and storming out of the room, again, slamming the door hard behind me,

  "I'll..." Noah began,

"I've got this" Talina said, Angelo put his hand on Noah's shoulder, the whole room was again silent.

  "Lolo" Noah whispered,

"It'll be okay,"

  "Keane's really gone"

"And we will find him. You should go to your brother, he needs someone right now," he whispered kissing him softly.

...

"Tayte..." Talina said softly,

"He's gone...He's really gone Auntie and I feel. I feel so cold, there's a piece of me missing and it hurts so much...I can't...I just..." I cried sinking to the floor, "I need him...what if...what if they..." Talina took me in her arms and held me as I cried,

   "We are going to get him back. I promise you that. He is going to be fine and so are you, I am going to be there with you the whole time until Keane is back in your arms,"

"What if he kills him? He's been trying to for the last year. He has him now, he can do whatever he wants and I can't do anything about it," I cried, Talina rubbed my back softly as I was still cradled in her arms,
