Nick slowly looked up at her, his eyes red and puffy. He glared at her as she stood there trying to read his expression.

"What’s wrong baby?" She asked as she walked in front of him and then kneeled down to look at him.

He didn’t say anything he just held her cell phone up and handed it to her after he pressed the button to listen to the voicemail message again. She reluctantly took it, not sure of what was happening. But she listened to the message and felt sick to her stomach as she stared back at Nick.

She set the phone down and looked at him. "I’m so-"

Nick put his hand up stopping her. "Don’t." He said angrily as he got up and walked back into the main room. Jana leaned back against the wall and cried as she held onto her knees.

Nick stormed into the main room wanting to scream at the top of his lungs or to throw something. He looked around the room and then started to pace back and forth. He could hear Jana crying and that just made him angrier, he started to walk back into the bathroom but stopped and punched the wall, putting a hole in it.

Jana jumped when she felt the wall vibrate a little after he hit it. She quickly got up and walked over to the door. He was standing there his face red as he stared at her. Never in her life, did she think she was going to be scared of Nick. She took a deep breath as they stared at each other. She knew he had so many things he wanted to say but he was just having a hard time getting them out.

"You disgust me." He said calmly as he started to walk towards her and she started to back up until she hit the wall.

He slammed his hands on the wall on each side of her face. Jana jumped and closed her eyes scared that he was going to hit her. He continued to stare intensely at her.

Nick’s face softened a little. "How could you do this Jana?" He asked searching her eyes.

"Nick, I don’t know."

"Bullshit!" Nick yelled then turned around and sat down on the bed putting his boxers and shorts on.

"It’s not bullshit! I don’t know why. I can’t explain it!" Jana screamed as she followed him.

"That’s a fucking cop out! That’s all you do is cop out of shit!"

"Fuck you! I do not!"

"Then tell me why you fucking did this to me! Give me a fucking reason why you kept that shit from me? Did you think it would benefit me not knowing that shit! TELL ME!" Nick yelled as he stood up.

She didn’t reply she just looked down at the ground.

"See you don’t have a fucking reason! You’re nothing but a money hunger, gold digging slut and not to mention a horrible fucking mother!"

Jana’s head shot up and she glared at him. "I hate you! I fucking HATE you, you fucking bastard!" She yelled as she got in his face.

Before he thought about it Nick moved his hand up and slapped Jana across the face. She moved her head back to look at him. He was glaring at her and she looked at him shocked.

"And now you’re no better than my father. Go ahead Nick hit me again add a few more drinks and you’d be the dead beat abusive drunk he was! Because you already are the horrible husband and fucking father!" She yelled as she held her cheek.

Nick stared at her, if there was anything she could say to truly hurt him more than he was already hurting it would be to say that he was a horrible father, he slowly turned around, put his sandals on, and walked out of the room slamming the door so hard it knocked off a picture on the wall. Jana backed up against a wall slowly sliding down as she began to sob uncontrollably.

//The Next Day\\

"Come on Aunt Nikki I want some ice cream." Trenton said as he pulled on Nikki’s arm then he ran towards the ice cream shop.

"Why did I bring two small children to the damn mall?" Nikki asked herself as they got in line.

"Alyssa hold on to my hand tight, there are a lot of people around." Nikki said as she looked down at the little girl.

"Ok." Alyssa said smiling.

"Trenton what do you want?" Nikki asked looking down, but he wasn’t there. "Trenton?" She asked louder as she looked around her. "No." She said as she picked up Alyssa and started walking around the crowd of people.

"Where’s Trenton?" Alyssa asked as Nikki started to panic.

"I’m not sure baby." Nikki replied as she started to walk a little faster around.

"Excuse me have you seen a little boy, his name is Trenton he has blond hair and blue eyes and a blue shirt on and is about this tall." She asked a small group of people.

They all shook their heads and looked at her weird.

"Trenton!" She yelled as she stood on top of a bench trying to look over the people’s heads.

"Excuse miss can I help you?" A security guard asked when she stepped down.

"Yes, I’ve lost my boy."

"Your son?"

"No he isn’t my son he’s my best friends son I’m watching him while she is away."

"Ok, come with me." He said grabbing her arm leading her through the crowd.

Thirty minutes later Nikki was sitting in the local police station trying to give the officers some information on Trenton but she couldn’t stop crying.

"We need to call the parents." One of the officers said.

"No, we can’t. Jana will never forgive me. We just had this huge fight too and she is just going to hate me."

"I’m sorry ma’am but you don’t have any pictures of the boy and you don’t have much information. They need to know."

Nikki sighed as she nodded and then gave the officer Jana’s cell phone number.

Jana sat on the bed staring at the small hole in the wall Nick made last night. He didn’t come back to the room last night. She was worried about him, she wanted to go look for him but she also knew that he probably didn’t want to talk to her right now.

She sighed when she heard her cell phone ringing from the bathroom. She got up slowly and started to walk into the bathroom. She picked up her phone and looked at the unfamiliar number strangely as she walked back out to see Nick walking in the room slowly and quietly. She looked at him and he looked at her. "Hello?" She asked putting the phone to her ear.

"Is this Mrs. Carter?"

"Yes." She said as she swallowed hard. Nick watched her strangely.

"This is Officer Martin at the Tampa Bay police station."

"Yes?"

"I hate to do this over the phone but we believe your son Trenton has been kidnapped." Jana gasped quietly as she put her hand over her heart.

Jana’s heart sunk as she dropped the phone and looked up at Nick as she started to cry.

"What?" Nick asked looking at her weird.

Jana fell to her knees as she picked the phone back up. "Are you serious?" She asked quietly.

"I’m sorry ma’ am but yes."

"How did it happen?"

"He was with your friend Nikki at the mall and she said he just disappeared. We searched the mall for at least an hour and found nothing. But Nikki really can’t give us much information about him, or even a recent picture. We need your help in order to find him."

Jana listened to the officer talk some more as she stared at Nick crying still while he continued to look at her strangely. Finally, they hung up and Jana cried even louder.

"What the hell is your problem?" Nick asked slightly annoyed.

"Trenton. Nikki lost Trenton." She cried.

Nick stood there in staring at her and then slowly sat down on the bed. He put his head in his hands and sighed. "What do we have to do?"

"We have to leave tonight and go to the police station give them a recent picture and any information on him that we can, so they can find him." Jana said before fresh tears began to fall.

Nick looked up at her. "This is your fault." He said calmly then got up and started to pack his things.

Jana looked up at him. "My fault, how do you figure this is fucking my fault?" She yelled as she stood up.

"Because she’s your fucking friend and if we didn’t come here she wouldn’t be watching them and losing one of them!" Nick yelled back.

"I can’t fucking believe you can blame this on me! It’s not my fault!"

"I can fucking blame it on you if I damn well please!"

"I can’t believe you!" Jana said as she turned around.

"Yeah well I can’t believe you either." Nick said calmly as he looked at her as she turned back around to look at him.

Jana stared at him then sat down on the bed.

"Get your fucking shit together!" Nick snapped at her throwing her bag on the ground next to her.

She looked up at him wanting to say something but opted against it. Instead she just grabbed her bag and got her things together.

Jana and Nick sat on the plane in complete silence. They hadn’t said anything to each other since Nick told her to get her things together. Jana stared out the window at the clouds and then she cut eyes over to Nick who was staring at her. He looked scared now, terrified more less. Jana took a deep breath and grabbed his hand squeezing it tight. He looked down at her hand and then back up at her.

She smiled weakly at him. "He’ll be ok." She whispered.

"I don’t believe you; I can’t believe anything that comes out of your mouth anymore." Nick replied harshly as he moved his hand and crossed his arms.
