"Yes, we do because you are going to be taking it over one day," William tells Alex.
"William, let it be dear," Ruby says.
"No. He is our only boy, and he WILL take over the family business," William tells his wife.
"NO I WON'T!! I DONT WANT TO RUN THE FUCKING FAMILY BUSINESS DAD. JUST DROP IT!!!" Alex yells. Then he clears his throat. "I think it's time for us to leave. Mom thank you for letting us stay the night. I will come and visit you again when I get the chance," he says looking at his mother then standing up leaving the room to get ready to leave.
"Um. Thank you Mrs. Hazel," I say before getting up and following Alex.
"See what you did, William???? You do this every time he comes to visit. That is why he doesn't visit often. I don't get to see my son as much as we get to see our daughter," I hear Ruby tell William as I'm walking out.
Once i get to Alex's room, he's already dressed and waiting for me. "Are you ok??" I ask.
I see him clench his jaw again before answering. "I'm fine, baby girl," he says. "Go get dressed, please, so we can leave," he adds, and I nod, doing as he asks. Once I'm dressed and Alex makes sure we don't forget anything, we walk out to the car.
His parents follow us out. "Alex, I'm sorry," his dad says.
"No you're not because you do this every fucking time. And I have told you time and time again that I do not want to run the family business," Alex says to his dad. "Until I see that you're actually sorry by never mentioning it again I won't believe your 'sorrys'," he adds before shutting my door and getting in the car starting it and driving off.
The ride home is silent and I feel like im suffocating from the thickness of it. The sound of Alex's voice startles me when he speaks. "I'm sorry about that back there love," he says his voice hoarse from not talking.
I grab his hand. "It's ok baby. I understand," I tell him opening his hand and intertwining it with mine. He pulls our hands to his mouth and kisses mine. 
"I love you," he says.
"I love you too," I reply as he pulls into the driveway. He smiles but then it drops immediately.
"What's wrong???" I ask.
"I don't know. But something isn't right," he says. "Wait here while i go check the perimeter of the house. Lock the doors," he adds getting out of the car. I lock the doors and watch as he runs around the back of the house disappearing from my sight. I don't see him come back around and begin to worry. I wait a few seconds longer before I unlock the doors cautiously and poke my head out.
"Alex??" I yell but get no response. "ALEX!!!" I yell again. No response. I go to yell again but before I can a rag is placed over my face. I begin to struggle but darkness takes over in just a few seconds. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alex's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I groan at the pain in my head as I begin to wake up. I dont know how long I've been out, but it's had to have been a few hours because the sun is lower in the sky than I last remember it. What happened?? Natalie!!! I get up, my body protesting as I do, and run back to the front of the house. My heart drops as I round the corner to see the car empty. She couldn't get into the house because I had the keys. Fuck. I quickly pull out my phone and call Nathan.
After a few rings, Nathan picks up. "Hello??" He says.
"Nathan. Natalie is missing. You and Blake need to get over here now!!!" I practically yell into the phone. Nathan acknowledges and hangs up. About 15 minutes later, I hear them come up behind me.
