I died A Little Today

Nickolas' POV

As Ally's parents near us, my distress gets to a new high, i don't know what to say to them.

"What happened, have you found her yet?" her father is the first to speak.

For the first time in a long time i hesitate to get any words out, Aaron steps up and speaks first, explaining what happened and how we have everyone looking. Steven Crowe gives me a death glare. Even now, after all this time, our awkwardness still exists. I can only imagine the hate he must be feeling right now towards me for being careless with his daughter. To be fair, i hate myself right now too.

"Are you alright?" Faith asks, surprising me. I expected her to be mad too, just like her husband, but instead she is worried about me. Am so taken aback, am lost for words, again.

She touches my hand lightly.
