Iris's p.o.v.
" I'll get it" Megan says as she rises from her sitting position by my side to answer the door.
I briefly wiped my tears and rose to my feet also. Megan's mom tried to hold me down a bit but I passed her a weak smile and stood.
" My goodness Bonita.. how are you!? Where's your brother and Brooks junior?" A sopranic voice rang through out the living room and I suspected it had to be their aunt Laurel.
Soon, there was a clatter of voices. The exchange of pleasantries created a buzz of excitement through out the room as everyone here was familiar with her, including Edward, Cheryn, Claudette, Guillermo and Jenny.
Perks of living with Hunter.
The rest of the family appeared jovially, with bright smiles on their faces out of their various locations to come welcome their sister/aunt. I think she came with her husb

Iris's p.o.v.Nine pm. It's almost a whole day since Louisa went missing. A whole day is more than enough to do a lot of things to a little person. Trust me, I do not want to think of the possibilities. We had been designated to various rooms shortly before dinner, for everyone to finally get some rest after eating. I couldn't even eat a thing at the dining table, so I left them all there and headed for my room. Uncle Tucker and his wife were to follow Aunt Laurel home right after dinner. And yeah I was right, she did come with her husband and her son Cody. At least Cody was another light to my day, but his age grade reminded me too much of Louisa so I had to cut our little conversations short. As to why Aunt Laurel had a child as young as

Third person p.o.v. He stood by the door and watched his Aunts' and Uncles' drive away in the cold, starry night. If asked, he's actually against them leaving this late because of recent events. But then he said nothing, since he wasn't asked. In fact, he had said nothing at all through out the day except he was asked a question. Oh, and when he wanted to talk to Iris. He didn't blame her for not wanting to speak to him, he didn't even want to speak with himself. Right now he felt like the most stupid jerk Earth had ever created. And his Dad had no problems with treating him that way. Mr McConnell was the first to come off the porch and step inside the house while the rest stood outside, exchanging tiny chitchats. He really disproved of their choice of location to engage in a conversation bu

Third person p.o.v.Hunter had microwaved some Spanish rice left in the pot and he'd carried a glass of water along with him as he proceeded up the stairs to iris's room. He stood at her door and took a deep breath to calm himself down. After speaking with his Dad, he didn't expect to feel so guilty, he'd expected to feel less responsible but it turned the other way around. Now he'd have to face the new music playing in his head. The one of pure guilt. He knocked thrice on the door and waited for a response, which came not long after as a muffled 'yes?'. Slowly balancing the tray and it's contents on one hand and using the other to open the door, he stepped in only to find Iris faced down on a pillow. And alone. At first he was scared shitless that something had happened to her, but after watching closely, he notice

Third person p.o.v.Louisa lay on the bed across the man who identified himself as Santiago, slowly eyeing the ceiling and counting numbers in the back of her mind.Santiago on the other hand was sitting patiently as the time went by, they explained that they'll be here an hour ago. What exactly is taking them so long is what he couldn't tell.A few moments of silence had passed between them before Louisa sighed and sat up straight, looking Santiago in the eye." You said my mommy is gonna be here"Oh no, Santiago internally exclaimed.Before Louisa agreed to have her meal three hours ago, she had demanded to know where her mother was. Long story cut short, Santiago lied about her whereabouts." Yes she is and she's on her way" he says again, hoping it'll shush her once more." Mommy is never late, I want to talk to her"

Iris's p.o.v." I'm gonna get some groceries, you wanna come?" Megan asks as she throws on a baby blue tank top.I slowly shake my head as I stayed rooted in the spot I had been laying since last night.Megan's eye's clearly turn into one of sadness as she watched me. I didn't want that pity but sometimes in life you don't get what you want." Iris, I really don't know what to do. I'm confused and really broken at this, I don't even know if I'm trying well enough but I know we'll get through this" she says as she leans in to give me a comforting hug.I don't reply her words, but I'm only believing them." I'll be back soon, okay?" She says again and walks out the door, shutting it behind her.I finally feel the dawn of loneliness on me and unknowingly, my tears began to escape once again.I couldn't help it, I've tried but

Hunter's p.o.v.I stepped into the office with practical everyone in there greeting their good mornings and giving me eyes of pity. Not surprised that they had heard the news too, the media didn't really give enough options to hide it. Yeah, my dad had forgotten to call in telling everyone to take the week off. So I had to do it personally today.Even after I was seated, some employees walked up to my office to practically pay their condolences. I wouldn't have liked it on a normal day but seeing it was just to show how much they cared, I actually thanked them for it.Most had shown concern for the whereabouts of Iris, I easily told them that she was alright. Although hiding the part where she had quit her job.Today, I really didn't know what to do. I didn't have a secretary and seeing as the

Hunter's p.o.v." You seem scared to see me, what's the matter?" Her voice came out mockingly as she took the same position Chance had before he left." Diane what do you want?" I gritted out and prayed she had plans of leaving soon.Who's Diane? Well, how exactly am I going to explain this?Diane is Soldo's first and only child. And apparently my first girlfriend too.Back then we always went on deliveries together, giving us enough room for anything other than delivery.She was my first everything.. from kisses to first sex.

Third person p.o.v.Louie sat in the corner of the room, softly crying as she had been since yesterday. Her eyes were already puffy and reddened and her frail figure if possible, looked a lot more tinier than she had been two nights ago. She had deliberately refused to eat anything and it was slowly riling Santiago up. If she died of hunger in his arms not only would Soldo have his head but he would never forgive himself." You know... if you had a little something to eat, you might just fall asleep " He tried another tactic in wooing her into feeding. Santiago had sat on the floor a few feet from where Louisa had crouched herself and he watched her. He had assumed that leveling his height with hers would make himself seem a lot less intimidating, probably assuming that it was his size that frightens her. But it didn't work. She hadn't put any
