"Stop, there she is!" Niall practically shouted in my ear as I scrolled down the list. When his voice sounded in my ear it startled me, causing me to jump and for my finger to quickly brush the wheel of the  computer mouse.

"What? Where?" I asked him, my eyes rapidly looking around the screen for Grace Tomlinson. I scrunched my eyebrows up as I began reading where we were on the list instead of going back up to a recognizable letter of her last name. 

Williams, Allan

"Scroll up, you fool." Niall instructed me with a chuckle as he placed his hand over mine on the computer mouse. I could hear the clicking sound that the wheel was making as Niall carelessly flicked it upwards. 

After glancing down at his hand I turned my head to take a look at his face, watching to see how concentrated he was on this, if at all. His blue eyes looked down to me briefly and then back to the screen as he waited for me to scroll back up so he could show me where Grace was. 

I was surprised that Niall had found her name before I had because I was way more determined in hunting her name down than I knew he was. I really wanted to try and hide my excitement that was boiling up inside me because I knew that Niall hadn't given me a definite answer on whether or not Louis and Grace Tomlinson would be an option he was considering. 

"There." Niall said, this time much calmer as he used his middle finger to point at the screen for me to find her. 

When I placed the mouse over her name, my heart actually felt like it was swelling just from the fact that I was reading her name. She was still there. She still needed someone to help her. So whoever happened to fall upon Louis' blog post either didn't care to learn more or they were rejected. Either way, I saw this sign as one thing and that was all that mattered to me. Grace needed us. 

"Her name is linked to somewhere else." I said as I watched her name become underlined and blue. I peered up again to look to Niall for my answers because I wanted his approval to keep going. If at any point he couldn't take this anymore, I wanted him to let me know but I had no clue if he would just agree to just to make me happy. Did he forget that he was the main reason for my happiness? 

"Then click on it and see where it takes you." He suggested and I felt his body somewhat drifting away from my own as he leaned back. 

I nodded and let out a sigh as I clicked on it, waiting for the new web page to load. Once it was finished we were directed to the same blog post that I had recently found. I turned my head to look to Niall again. "Well, we're right back where we started I suppose." I shrugged my shoulders as my fingers taped anxiously against the mouse. 

"How about we read about this Malik person and find out if he's the type of person we want to even deal with? You never know if this guy is some mastermind scam artist or whatever."

I couldn't help but to raise my brow at his comment. People actually did things like that; make up these heartbreaking and connectable stories about children just to trick people for their own twisted benefits? I couldn't help but to shake my head, my heart still pining for Grace, hoping that she was in fact real.
