...............Fern...............

(Two days later.)

The train abruptly stops in front a trail. The sun was bright and I open my eyes wide. I remember this place. It was about twenty minutes from my house. I grab my bag, slinging it over my shoulder as I ran out the train, onto the trail. I kept running, as fast as my legs could take me. The trail was ending, showing big white houses with acres of land.

I look around, trying to spot my house. My house was purple with colorful roses around the porch and house. I finally see it and run to it.

I run up the sidewalk to the door and knock.

A cute little kid answers the door. He looked mixed with Black and Latino. He has very curly hair that went to his shoulders and he smiled at me. His two front teeth were gone so he had to be at least six.

"Who are you?" He asked me and I smiled.

"I'm Fern. I used to live here." I say, excited.

"Mom! There's a lady here!" The little boy yells.

"Coming!" A familiar voice yells back. A middle aged woman comes to the door and when she sees me she starts to cry.

"Fern. Is that really you?" She asked me.

I start to cry too. "Yes momma. It's me." She wraps me in a hug that I didn't want to end.

"It's been seven years. Where have you been?" She sobbed. "I missed you so much. We all missed you so much."

"I just been somewhere momma. I'm so sorry. A lot of things happened and I regret being taken."

She backs away, wiping away her tears. "Well come in. I just baked a cherry pie. Alex, this is your sister." My mom says pointing to the little boy.

I smiled kindly to the boy and wiped away my tears. I missed this so much. The smell of baked pie and fresh air filled my lungs. I spotted lemonade glasses filled on the kitchen table. I also spotted my dad. He was in a suit since he was business man.

He always worked and I remember since I was little he would never have time for me but whenever he got home he would give me toys and candy. I loved that about him though.

"Honey, Fern is home." My mom said and my dad instantly turned around. His eyes were big and he soon started to cry. He couldn't  believe it. He stared at me and then ran. Wrapping me in a hug so tight I swear that my eyes would pop out any second.

"Oh, Fern. I missed you so much." He kissed my cheek. "You gotten so big and beautiful. Where have you been?"

"It's hard to explain." I say and wrap my arms around his huge figure, he wasn't fat. Just muscles everywhere.

"We have so many catching up to do." He pulled out a chair for me to sit in. "Please, tell me everything."

...........Moss.........

"Where is she!!!" I yelled angrily at Cassie. Balling and unballing  my fist uncontrollably.

Cassie started crying. "I told you, she went home to her family."

"What's the address?! I need to see her."

Cassie hands me a scrunched up piece of paper with Fern's address on it. I stared at it, wondering how I'm going to get there without being seen. I guess it didn't matter, I needed to see her.

I grab my car keys and a jacket along with shoes and clothes. I start the engine and drive to the address. It was going to be a long ride but I would do it for Fern. Actually I would do anything for Fern.
