"Please let me go. I didn't do anything. Please don't harm me." The red haired girl pleaded. It seems like she only pissed him off the most.
"Shut up! .You women are all the same. Acting all innocent but deep down you are very wicked." Cyrus snarled in his drunken state.
"Why would I pity you? Did she pity us when she walked out on us!? No she didn't. I am only returning the favor of her cruelty. I hope you tell her what I did to you. She should feel the pain we felt when she walked out on us " Cyrus kept rambling, not knowing what he was saying.
"I don't know who you are talking about or what she did, but I am not her." The girl said, as she continued trying to free her hand from his firm grip. "Please let me go. I beg of you. I am innocent. Please don't harm me." She continue to plead. She also tried screaming but that did not help either because Cyrus covered her mouth.
When he got tired of dragging her with him, he stopped and tried to reach for her dress.
She continued trying to fight him, but he succeeded in tearing her dress. Now that he let go of her hand, she turned to run away from him. Unfortunately for her she collided with a hard object and hit her head. The impact was so much for her that she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

The next day.
"Cyrus.... Looks like you are still dealing with cocaine. You were high but you still left the club alone in such a state." Cyrus's elder brother spoke, while standing in front of his brother.
"You should have called me or stayed with Mason and Ethan. Mostly Ethan. He is the responsible one amongst you three." He reasoned.
Cyrus just laid there, not even understanding his brother's words.
"I called Ethan and he told me you left the club early. I called you multiple times but you were not answering." Jace added in a worried tone.
"Cyrus, the state I found you in was very disturbing. I really thought you were dead. You had blood on your clothes. Were you in a fight?...." Jack kept on talking. It only made Cyrus's throbbing head hurt the more.
"You have to stop taking that substance before father finds out about it. Don't give him more reason to believe you are a disappointment he says you are. Besides, addiction is real."
Jack shook his head and headed to the door. He opened the door but did not leave the room. He turned to his little brother and said, "You have to stop blaming yourself for what happened. That was her choice and father let it go. I did too. Why can't you do the same? You are only hurting yourself and not her." Jace reasoned and then, he left the room.

Meanwhile,
"She should have been home, it's very late and her phone is off. I called the diner, they said she left before the rain started. That was two hours ago. I am scared." Dorothy spoke to her husband, who just got home from work and was met with the absence of his daughter.
"Did you call Eva?" Anthony asked.
"I did. Eva said the last time she saw Lou was after school." Dorothy explained and sniffed.
"It is unlike her to stay out late. Anthony I think we should go check on her. I have a feeling something is not right with Louisa " Dorothy said and headed to the door.
"We are going together." Anthony said. Agreeing with his wife's suggestion. He picked up an umbrella and followed his her.
"Camilla dear, you stay back in case Lou gets home, while we are out looking for her." Anthony said to his daughter before he left.
"Ok, dad. I hope she is ok." Camilla said with a worried tone.

Anthony and Dorothy first went to the diner. They were told the same as they did on the phone. They kept walking on the path that leads to their house from her workplace but nothing.
They also went to her friend's house, Eva, even though they called the friend's house before leaving. Dorothy said maybe she arrived at the friend's house, after they had called.
However, she wasn't there either.
"Should we call the cops and report her missing?" Dorothy asked with teary eyes, after they left Eva's house.
"When we were done searching for her and still did not find her. We also get home and she is not there, then we can inform the cops." Anthony reasoned.
"Now, we keep looking and keep our hopes up." he said to his wife and squeezed her hand in an effort to calm her a little.
Dorothy sucked in a breath and nodded. "Alright then."
They continued with their Search but it was all in vain. After an hour of a failed attempt to find their daughter they finally went home. A part of them hoping she will be there.
However, to their dismay, she wasn't. Only Camilla was home.
"Mum, Dad, where is she? Did you find her?" Camilla approached them immediately as they entered the house. The looks they had on their faces gave the young girl the answer she wouldn't want to hear.
Camilla's shoulder also fell in sadness. 'Where could her sister be?' she wondered.
Louisa's father called and reported his daughter missing. Although it wasn't taking too serious then. The cops said that someone has to be missing for 24 hours before they can be reported missing.
The next day was when Louisa's parents received a very disturbing phone call on their house phone. It was a call from Plover city hospital, saying they should come to the hospital.
A girl was found with an ID card that has their address on it.
They stormed out of the house, all three of them and rushed to the hospital.
Dorothy's eyes were swollen from all the cry she did throughout the night, so was Anthony's.
"Where is she? Is she alright? Please.... please.... Please.... tell me she is alright. Please tell me my daughter is ok." Dorothy screamed at the receptionist of the hospital, immediately they walked in.
