Yes I don't know anything about malls there, or what they have so don't say "they don't have that" or whatever, it's a story I make it up as I go.

________________

"Carter? Carter is that you!?" I sit up fast leaving me a little light headed.

"Gabby I miss you" he whispers and my heart melts.

"I miss you too!" I whisper too. "Where are you? Are you hurt? What's going on?" I asked so many question I'm sure he doesn't know which one to ask first.

"I'm fine, I'm with Hannah. I don't know where we are, she went inside the store and told me to stay in the car, She left her phone and I'm using it. But she will be back. I'm scared gabby!" He said.

"What are you close by?" I asked him calmly.

"Um.. A big mall and small store next to it, where she went. I think she said we was in Doncaster when she was on the phone " I knew exactly where he was.

"Okay, Carter, I need you to go to the mall and hide somewhere in there, go to the boys bathroom that close to the door you entered and stay there. I will call you when I'm there okay?" I said.

"Okay."

"Now go and be careful." I said softly and he hangs up.

"We need to go to Doncaster." I gave him his phone back and change into my jeans and puts my hoodie over my head and pulls it down. "I don't know why they are there but we have to get there soon." I said and I put my hair in a ponytail.

******

"We should be there in 20 Minutes." He said and I nodded looking out the window and tap my finger on my knee.

His phone rings and he picks it up with one hand.

"Yeah, I know." He mumbled.

"I know, we are trying." He sigh.

"Yeah, I know. I love you too." He said. My stomach drop, I don't know why or what's that feeling for but I'm guessing I'm feeling a little jealous maybe.

"Who was that?" I said casually.

"Oh, my sister." He said, and I smile softly to myself. Wait, why should it matter anyways. I rolled my eyes and focus my attention to him.

"You have a sister?"

"Yeah, she's 14." He said. "One day maybe you could meet her." He looked over at me then back at the road.

"Maybe." I said nodding.

****

We pulled into the big parking lot and we walked in to the mall and I looked around then I looked over at Liam.

"May I use your phone please?" I asked and he nodded hanging me his phone and I thanked him.

I go to his recent calls and click on the second number, which was the number my brother called from, I click on it and it rings. I kept thinking 'pick up pick up' as every ring goes by.

No answer.

"He didn't answer." I said. I got out the car, and I heard a door shut after me which was Liam. We walk inside the mall and I walk toward to boys bathroom. Liam grabs my wrist and turns me around.

"You can't go in there, I will." I said.

"No, I will and I don't care if anyone in there." I said as I bust in the bathroom and Liam follows behind.

"Carter?" I yelled looking around as a few boys run out. "Carter" I yelled again looking under each stall.

"He's not here." I yelled in frustration.

"Calm down." Maybe he went somewhere else.

"Calm down? I can't calm down!" I yelled again grabbing my hair and pull it in frustration . Liam grabs both my wrist and gently pulled them away from my hair and I let go looking up at him.

"We will find him, I promise." He said.

"How do you know? what if we don't?" I said, as m eyes start to water up. What if we don't find him. What will happen.

"Stop thinking negative we will find him. Okay? Now let's ask around first." He said and I nodded as we walk out the door.

I seen a security guard, I walked over to him and looked up at him. He was pretty tall I guess around 6' foot.

"Hi, I was wondering have you seen a little boy walk around here? Brown hair, about this tall" I said putting my hand to my lower stomach.

"Um yeah, he walked in but turn around when some lady came and he left awhile ago with her crying, probably cause he wanted some toy ." He said.

"And you didn't stop him? And ask where he was going with the lady or if he knew knew?" I yelled. "You are such an idiot. "

"I didn't-"

"How can you be so stupid! You should of ask to see if everything okay if you didn't even see them together till when he left!" I screamed shoving him.

Liam pulled me back by the waist and I try and move out his grip. "Let me go!" I yelled but he doesn't.

"It's not his fault, just calm down. They deal with kids crying everyday for something, he must just thought It was nothing. "he said calmly. "sorry, we will go" I looked at the security guard and he rolled his eyes as Liam

Pulled me away.

"I should of told him about him being kidnap! Maybe we could find him faster then." I said, I'm so stupid.

"That's not a good idea." Liam said and I looked at him as stop walking.

"Why is that?"

"Because, you are still under age, they could easily put him in another foster home even farther, plus they probably won't consider it kidnap if they already adopted him ." He said and he was right.
