"You know, what? You made me realise how much I really do like Madison. Thanks, AJ!" Nick said in a hushed tone.

"See...I knew I was good for something."

They walked into the livingroom and noticed that Madison was not where she was before. She wasn't their at all.

"Hmmmm? Where did she go?" Nick asked.

"She probably woke up and found herself on the couch. So she might have gone to her room." AJ said.

"Yeah, good thinking."

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Ok, Nick? Have a nice night and prepair for me to kick your ass some other time." AJ said while quickly leaving.

"Yeah, and prepair for me to kick your ass some other time." Nick mimicked AJ.

****************************************************************

Nick was walking down the hallway of the second floor. He couldn't find Madison anywhere. People had told him his house was very large, but he didn't think it was possible for someone to get lost in his house.

"Madison!" He yelled.

He searched everyroom. He went into her room and noticed all of her things missing. Her teddybear was off of her bed. She normally kept it in between her pillows. He scratched his head and went down stairs. He walked over to the counter and picked up the phone. He didn't even notice that letter.

"Hello?" LeighAnne's voice said.

"Hey! It's Nick."

"Hey, Nick. What's up?"

"I've been looking for Madison. Kinda wondering if somehow she is at your place?"

"No, Nick! She's not here. I haven't heard from her all day. Sorry."

"Somethings not right!" Nick said while pounding his fist off of the counter. When he did this, the envelope fell and caught Nick's eye.

"Nick?" LeighAnne asked.

Nick looked down at the envelope that was close to his feet. He read the outside of it.

*Nick*

He read his name on the outside of the envelope and picked it up. Leighanne was still trying to catch his attention but Nick hung up the phone with out realizing it. He opened the envelope and pulled out a letter.

**************************************************************

Brian walked over to Leighanne and gave her a questioning look. She looked at the phone and then hung it up, also.

"Who was that?" He asked.

"Nick."

"What did he want?"

"He was looking for Madison."

"Where's Madison?" He asked.

"I don't know, Bri. I don't know." Leighanne said.

"That's not like her to leave. Especially in Florida. She doesn't know where anything is. She normally has you, me or Nick take her places."

"I know. SOmethings not right." LeigAnne said.

************************************************************

Nick's eyes were glued on Madison's hand writing. He sat down on the stool to steady himself. He couldn't believe what he was reading.

"Outstayed my welcome!" He shook his head with confustion.

"No! You didn't outstay your welcome!" He said.

"I'll pay you back, I promise!" He read.

"No! I did this because I wanted too! I love you!" Nick yelled to no one.

"Your right! I would be insane and no one, with out you."

"No! No! No! What is this! You can't be gone! I haven't told you how much I love you!" Nick yelled again, to no one.

He then found the contents that were in the envelope. The chain and surprisingly her mother's wedding ring. He kissed the ring and closed his eyes.

"Madi....I have to find you. I love you. This ring, you couldn't have wanted me to have this ring. I love you." Nick began to cry softly.

He placed his head down on his hands and then the phone rang. He placed his head up and dried his eyes. He answered the phone and his voice was cracky and sad.

"Hello?"

"Nick!" Brian's voice was full of concern.

"Brian! She's gone!" Nick said as he felt his eyes tearing again.
