Joey's heartache...

Waking up and seeing Ty still curled up. "Poor kid, sleeping all the time." Nudging him she smiles when she sees him open his eyes. "Hey buddy, are you hungry? I know we aren't big on food lately but we should try to eat something." 

Frowning as Ty lays back down and covers himself up with Jonnie's blanket.
Looking at the clock on the wall she shakes her head and gets out of bed. Mia would be over soon, and then she could go help look for Jonnie. Thankful for Andy's schedule coinciding with her plans. She climbs out of bed and kisses Ty before heading downstairs to find something to keep her busy. Hearing the phone ring she runs. As she answers the phone she hears Lizzy. Thankful that her best friend calls at the exact time she needs her.

As they talk she hears something in Lizzy's voice. "What are you hiding Lizzy?" Hearing her describe the night she had with Tyler, the pain obvious in her voice. They chat a little longer and then when Lizzy had to get ready for work they said their goodbye's and hung up. Sitting there she felt  wave of emotions take over her.

Replaying telling Evan goodbye, seeing her nephew cry himself to sleep, and then hearing that Tyler was so busy trying to take Lizzy out that he couldn't help Nate, Luke, and her dad look for her only sister. The tears fell down her red face. Curling into a ball on her couch she cries and stares out the window.
Losing track of time she finally moves when she hears a knock at the door. Slowly getting up to answer the door, feeling like her legs are being weighed down, she walks to the door and opens it. "Mia, am I happy to see you!" Taking Owen and holding the door for her as she walks in. "Where is Conor?"
Mia turns and smiles, trying to lighten to mood. "He and Jackson are on their way back. He is going to meet me here. Jax is going home to see Elise. They will help us look tomorrow." Seeing Owen wiggle in her arms, Mia looks at Joey and sees the sadness in her face. "So what am I missing?"

Sighing as she shifts Owen, trying to make him happy. "Well, let's see. Evan came by today and broke up with me because he is going to the states, and then I found out my best friend was out with Tyler last night. I am so mad at him. He should've been helping. Even if he hates her, he shouldn't have been trying to take someone else out." Looking down at Owen as he fusses, then over to Mia. "I don't want to make them cry. My emotions are all messed up. I should go sit on the porch until Andy comes." Kissing Owen before handing him to Mia. "I will call you if I hear anything. Ty is up in Jonnie's room. He hasn't eaten anything since breakfast. But, I doubt he will eat now. Poor guy."

Mia, adjusting the babies. "I will set up their playpen and then go check on him." Seeing a vehicle pull up, she points out the window. "Is that your friend?" Watching as Joey looks out the window and takes a deep breath. "You will call me later and tell me about him." Winking as she watches Joey head to the front door. "Joey, she will be found. I have this feeling."

"Thanks Mia, I am hoping you are right." Opening the front door and turning to look at Mia holding her fussy babies. "Sorry I made them upset. I will call you later." Turning to walk out the door, the heavy feeling in her legs returning. She sees Andy's smiling face, his hair a little messy from driving. Wanting to smile but feeling the tears. Watching him get out, closing her eyes as he wraps his strong arms around her. Holding on to him as she cries and cries.

As he rubs her back. "Well, Evan dumped me today because he is moving back to the states and then our best friend was out with Tyler last night, instead of helping look for my sister. What the hell is wrong with him" She spoke through sobs, as Andy held her. Playing with her hair and just being there for her.

After what seemed like forever she wiped her face and looked at Andy. "Can we go look for my sister?" Feeling him take her hand and lead her to the car. Opening the door and helping her in. "Thank you Andy." He leaned over and kissed her forehead, closed the door and climbed into his side. Driving north in silence, they look around just hoping to find something.
