Since no one is answering their phones and it is currently 2:47 a.m., I decided to call the police. I mean at least they can get me a flight home...at the least.

"Operator speaking, what's your emergency?"

"My family left me at a restaurant and they aren't picking up their phones."

"How old are you?"

"16"

"What's your address?"

"I am on vacation."

"With whom?"

"My adoptive father"

"Where is he?"

"That's the problem I don't know where he is."

"Is there anyone else that could pick you up?"

"Yeah"

"Then call them."

"I already tried. They aren't answering."

"Okay I'm sending someone for you. Do you mind staying on the phone with me until they get there?"

"No not a problem."

*****

A police car just showed up.

"Hello. So I'm gonna bring you down to the station so we can contact your family. Is that alright?"

"Can't you just drive around until we find my brother's house?"

"We could if you would rather.."

"Can we just do that..please?

"Yes but we have to fill out paperwork."

"Let's go then."

The police brought me to the station and made me sign a few papers. I gave them Ricky's name so he could look up the address. The man found it and we were off to Ricky's house.

*****

"Thanks for everything." I wave to the policeman from Ricky's doorstep. He smiles at me and waves back. I stand there and watch him drive off.

I shut the door and turned around. I saw all of the boys standing there. I glanced at them all but I stopped on Connor. I shook my head and pushed passed Trevor and walked up the stairs to get my bags from earlier.

I grabbed them out of the bathroom and walked back downstairs. As I stepped into the living all of the boys stood to their feet and walked to me.

"I'm so sorry, Katie!!" Kian pleaded.

"I can't believe this happened. And on the first day of meeting you." Sam added staring at the ground.

"Katie, this shouldn't have happened!" Ricky plainly stated.

"Sister...Katie...I-I'm sorry." Jc stated with teary eyes.

"Sass, I-I can't believe this happened. I don't even know how it happened. But I am sorry! So SO sorry!!" Trevor said with so much emotion.

"Kay, I-" I cut Connor off.

"I'm tired of the same apologies. I'm tired of the excuses. And I'm TIRED of being left out! I am NOT a rug that you can wipe your feet all over and use me just to clean the bottom of your shoes. If you don't understand what I am saying, I suggest you figure it out. Now if you will excuse me I need some water." I walked to the kitchen and leaned up against the counter resting my hands on the counter behind me. I closed my eyes and I started counting to ten taking deep breaths in between.

One, Two, Three, Four...

"Katie..can I, uh, talk to you?" I didn't need to open my eyes to know who it was.

"Jc I am not in the mood in talking at the moment." I didn't move as I said this.

Five, Six...

"I would like to talk to you though..when you are up to it."

"I wouldn't count on that." I mumbled but I could tell he had already walked away.

I gave up on counting and walked to the living room. I could sense the tension.

I glanced around and noticed all of the boys looking upset. Trevor and Connor looked the most upset. Nobody was paying attention to anything going on. It seemed as if they were all zoned out. I decided maybe their phones would get their attention.

@Katieswizzle101- You guys can like come back to reality now. It is scaring me!!

DING DING DING●

All of their phones went off simultaneously. One by one they looked up at me. First Ricky, then Kian, then Sam, followed by Jc, Connor, and finally Trevor.

They all stared at me with hope in their eyes along with tears. I moved my glance from one to another after doing this for about two minutes, I eased up.

"Group hug?" I set my bag down and opened up my arms. The boys looked from one to another. I was just about to put my arms down when BAM they all raced for me. Luckily, I didn't die or get knocked down!!

"This doesn't mean I'm not mad at any of you because believe me I am!!" I added pushing them back and folding my arms. They all hung their heads.

"But..." All of their heads popped up. "But I still love all of you." I dropped my arms to my side and smiled. The boys, once again, looked from one another and then smirked. Jc counted on his fingers. One, two, three.

"WE LOVE YOU TOO KATIE!!" And with that, I was wrapped into another group hug.
