The Lost Sister

41- family

They decided to hold off on telling their families until tomorrow. Well, today considering it was technically morning.

Damn I needed to get some sleep. I went to my room to change into some clothes. I pulled on some sweat pants and a hoodie before going to Kayla's room.

I got into bed with her and curled into her side. "Did I say you could get in bed with me?" I heard a voice say.

My head snapped up so quickly, I swear I had whiplash. My girlfriend was grinning at me. I laughed lightly before kissing her softly.

"How are you? How are you feeling?" I asked while moving the hair from her eyes.

"Considering I got shot? I'm feeling pretty good." She informed me. I gave a small laugh.

"It's the morphine, babe." I informed her.

"How are they? The others?" She asked referring to the escapees.

"Good. They decided to tell their families everything. They want to do it together." I tell her with a smile.

"That's good. I'm tired." She told me. I put my head back down on her shoulder.

"Me too." I agreed before drifting off to sleep.

••••••••••••••••••

I woke up that morning in Kayla's arms. I kissed her forehead. "How're you feeling, love?" I asked.

She grinned, lazily, at me. "Good. I feel good." She answered, stretching her body slightly.

I inhaled her scent. We stayed in each other's arms for a moment until she broke the silence.

"Could I meet them?" She asked. I stared at her before answering.

"You almost died saving them. Of course you can meet them." I answered. She broke out into a large smile.

"What happens now? I mean, we have been trying to survive for so long. And now, we survived. We won. So, what happens now?" She questioned.

We rarely talked about our future. "We live. We go to college. If we want. We do whatever the hell we want." I answer.

"Bellamy Blake." She grinned upon hearing what I said. I laughed softly. She was right.

"Do you think you could get out of bed?" I ask. It was probably not the smartest request, but I believe we earned time with our family.

She nodded, enthusiastically. "I would love to. For what tho, exactly?"

"I think we should spend time with our families today. If you want to, of course." I added.

She grinned. "Let's fucking do it, babe." She urged as I helped her out of bed.

I pulled out my phone to text our families group chat and told them to go to the dining area.

Then separately, I texted Connor and Dylan and asked them to bring Zaine and Bree. A real family dinner.

Everyone said they'd be there in 5 minutes. That was all the time it took to get Kayla there. I called the pizza place.

They said they'd be here in about 10 minutes. I helped Kayla into a seat.

My family appeared one by one and took their seats. Connor and Bree came last looking incredibly flustered.

I raised an eyebrow at my twin. He responded by flipping me off. "Don't flip your sister off." My mother quickly scolded.

Which of course resulted in me sticking my tongue out at him. Dylan pinched me from where he was beside me to my left.

"Yeah, Bubba. Don't flip your sister off, bitch." Gray spoke after my mother. I gasped with a big smile at his cursing.

"Grayson Micheal Banks! Where did you hear that word?" My mother gasped.

"From you and daddy. Daddy said it in a really weird voice in the bed-." He started explaining. Luca and my mother quickly clamped their hands over his mouth.

Luca was trying incredibly hard not to laugh. Dylan however did not hold back his laughter.

Kayla was at my right with Connor in front of me. My parents occupied the heads. Zaine sat beside Dylan and my mom.

Bree was beside Connor and my dad. Luca sat on the other side of my mother. Uncle Rickey sat beside my father as well.

We sat in silence until the door bell rang. Luca got up and got the pizzas. We all happily dug in.

Dad cleared his throat to get our attention. "The past few days have been hard. Chaotic. Hell, the past few years hav been," He began causing us to laugh. "But we preserved. Because we are family. And I am so happy to have all of you with me today."

My mother clapped with a loving look in her eye. "My turn," My twin chirped. I rolled my eyes with a grin.

"Dad is right. These past few years have been hell. But we survived. We got our damn sister back. We fucking saved 11 people. We destroyed their captors. I am so fucking happy. It's literally insane how far we have came." He grinned.

Bree clapped the loudest for her boyfriend. Kayla nudged me in the elbow telling me to stand up. And of course I did. I will admit it. I am whipped.

"Thank you. All of you. In very different ways, you all saved my life. Thank you for not giving up on me. For loving me despite the flaws. Life has been hard. But now, I have the love of my life. I have my brothers. My parents. I have some awesome fucking friends. And I did the one thing I always wanted." I took a shaky breath before continuing.

"I killed the assholes who took me from you all. I rescued the people they thought they could torture. I am alive. That is the biggest thing. I fucking survived. We fucking survived. I love you all so much." I finished.

Everyone had some form of tears in their eyes. I sat back down and Dylan pulled me into a tight hug. "I love you, little sister." He whispered.

I nodded. We ate and talked for hours. Then Kayla asked her dad to take her to her room. My parents left. As did my brothers boyfriend and girlfriend. Leaving only us.

"You know, people use to refer to you as 'the lost sister' and it pissed me off so much. Because you weren't lost. You were just gone. But if you were lost. At least now you're found." Luca told me. I smiled.

"I love you guys. So fucking much it hurts. I mean you all made me want to survive," I pulled out my locket. "Your faces helped me survive that place. I couldn't fucking ask for better sibling." I informed them.

Gray looked happy. Slightly confused. But happy. He walked over to sit in my lap. "I love having a sister." He whispered with a smile.

"Yeah, me too, Gray." Dylan agreed ruffing our little brothers hair.

"Me too. Even if she is a rude ass-bitch who looks like a man." Connor agreed rather rudely. Luca snorted. Some of his drink came out of his nose.

Causing Gray to laugh in my arms. Soon we were all laughing. I love this moment. With my brothers.

My family.

So, this is the last chapter. Excluding the epilogue, of course.

Thank you all so much for reading! I will be writing more books, so if you enjoy my writing, well, yeah.

I personally love these characters. And their growth. I chose to end it with her brother because I feel like that's where Cora started.

I have a lot of ideas for new books. So please read those if you think you'll like them!

Again, thank you all so fucking much for reading! The epilogue will be out soon!!
