I smiled as I walked out of the car, my boyfriend Mark had dropped me off. Mr.Conners, my chauffeur was more than happy to have a day off. I greeted mum with a hug and sat down in the lounge.
"Wheres Jess and Daisy?" I asked. As if they'd heard me they came in the room with the post. I grinned as they sat down.
"Hey Kates, guess what?" Jess asked, "Wait I have no time for guessing, happy birthday!" I felt really confused, it wasn't our birthday for a week yet?
"What? I can't open it until our birthday next week?" Daisy laughed and said, "Come on open it! If you don't you can't use it!" she laughed at my confused face.
"Okay..." I said uncertainly. As I opened the small parcel a wave of excitement surged through me! It was suddenly replaced by disappointment. In the small box their was only tissue paper. Dad who had just appeared laughed.
"Open your eyes!" His most famous line! Sarcasm all over the place there :/. I shuffled my hand all around the box and found a piece of paper.
'Look in the place of the cows liquid!' Milk? What? Mum quickly excused herself to answer the door. "Hey DanDan!" She cooed.
"Hey mummy!" He smiled. After two years he is still mummy's little boy. He giggled and pointed at the kitchen.
"Daniel! Don't give it away, idiot!" Daisy yelled. He blew a raspberry as mum glared at her. I love when its not me in trouble! I went into the kitchen and saw a note taped to the milk.
'SPOTTY BRAS ALWAYS HAVE THE ANSWER!' I blushed as they all were killing themselves laughing. I ran upstairs into my bedroom and looked in my underwear draw, in the cup of my bra little post it sat pointing down. Who put it there and when? I opened the draw underneath and saw a beautiful leather bound book with a sparkly present thing on top, I have no idea what they are called! They all sat around me with Dan standing on my bed behind me, mum and dad either side of him and Jess and Daisy next to me. As I opened the book, tears came to my eyes. It was the first day we met. A drawing of me and Daisy in the fields. Dad is an amazing artist. At the bottom of the page there was writing in beautiful calligraphy saying,
'This day, is where it all starts. The story of the Love family reuniting away from the curse of Jimmy Newel'.
The opposite page was a picture of Daisy and Jess hugging. Written was
'Sisters are forever trusting each other, but is the secret too much?' I was almost crying as I turned the page to see a sketch of Jess' worried face.
'Jess ponders of what to do about the information inside her. She decides to confined in her loving mother Abby, against Daisy' word'
A tear spilt as Daisy hugged me. Now there was a poster with me saying missing. 'Missing: Katie Love, age:14, hair: blond, eyes: emerald green.' I flicked through the rest of the book reading about what had happened when I was hiding. I saw a picture of Mum, Jess and Daiz hugging, The day the police came to school. I saw sketches of Jess tied up, Jimmy in a police car, me taking a blood test, a pic Daniel and me hugging, us all hugging and the winning lottery ticket. After all the memories from the past the pages came to the good times! A picture of Daisy at Ikea peeking out of a wardrobe, Me 'sleeping' in the bed, the scowling lady telling us off! I have no idea who took these pictures. Me exhausted on the bed surrounded by bags and boxes. All of these had beautiful, poetic captions. I looked at all the plane, train and boat tickets to the exotic destinations we could go to with all our money, I'm not ungrateful, I loved all our holidays, but I've always wanted to go to Australia! I turned the to the last written on page and saw a plastic wallet with 6 papers in. I took them out and screamed!
"THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU!" I strangled my parents in a tight hugged, kissed my sisters on the cheeks and gave Dan some skittles I had in my sweet box! He lighted up like a boy on Christmas morning and said, "I hope you'll love Australia, Katie!"
As I fell asleep that night, I felt so blessed for the family I had and so great my life has been since they found me.
"Thank you!" I whispered as I drifted off into a relaxing sleep.
All three girls dreamt about the same thing. Three little girls playing hide and seek, they looked like sisters, maybe triplets. The seeker found one of the sisters but couldn't find the blond one.
As they looked under the slide, they found their missing piece. They hugged tightly and whispered simultaneously,
"Found you" ...
That's the end! I've got a few ideas for other stories but I don't think I'll write a sequel. I'm gonna make a quiz to see how much you picked up and remembered the story!
