Lost

Lost: Chapter 6

.... We saw a bunch of cop cars and fire trucks around my house. There was a n ambulance too. We slowly pulled up. I saw Alex standing on the sidewalk in front of my house. I got out of the car and walked up to Alex. She turned around and we hugged.

"Where have you been?!" She asked. "I'll explain later. What's up with my house?" I asked. "Your mom..." Alex said softly. "What about her?" I asked. "She-Uh... She died." "No way." I said with a smile on my face, that turned into a frown.

I truly hated my stepmom(I forgot to tell you, she's my stepmom, NOT my mom. I just call her mom because it's shorter). But somehow, I was sad and tears started streaming down my face. Niall and Louis got out of the van and put their hoods up so no one would notice them. I looked up at Niall and he ran over and hugged me.

"What's wrong babe?" He said in a soft voice. "My mom.. She's-uhh.." I said stuttering. "You can tell me.." He said reassuring me. "She's dead." "Why are you crying?! I thought you hated her!" lI do it's just that.. Since I'm not a legal adult and Tori and I don't have a guardian, they're probably gonna take us to a foster home!" I yelled. I started crying even harder. Alex looked at Niall and Louis.

"OMG OMG OMG! NO WAY, YOU'RE ONE-" I put my hand over Alex's mouth. "You can't tell ANYONE. Got it?" I said wiping my tears of my face. She nodded and licked my hand. I wiped it on Niall. "EWWWW!!" Niall yelled like a little girl and ran to the van. I think I heard him say 'I'm infected!' while he was running. "Let's go. It's almost 11." I said, laughing at Niall with Louis and Alex.

We started walking towards the car when I heard someone call my name. I turned around. A cop was walking towards me. "Are you Ms. Small's daughter?" The cop asked. "Yeah.. STEPdaughter." I said. "Can I ask you a few questions before you leave?" "Sure." Niall, Louis, and Alex walked towards the van.

"Where were you when she was killed?" "I haven't home for a few days now. I JUST got home." I said quietly. "Why weren't you home?" "I've been at my friends house for a few days because my mom was abusive." The first part was a lie. I had been kidnapped. But the second part was true. "How old are you?" "Sixteen." "Do you have any siblings?" God, he asks too many questions! "Yeah. A younger sister. Her name is Tori and she's ten." I replied. "Do you have a legal guardian?" "No.." "I just need you to identify the body now, if that's okay." "Fine." I said sighing.

I signaled to the group and we walked inside the apartment. There was police tape saying "Caution" everywhere. We ducked under the tape and walked into her bedroom. There was a white blanket over her body. The cop pulled the blanket off of her head.

"Yup, that's her." I said, trying not to cry. "Oh my gosh.." Louis said. Louis ran out of the room and Niall ran after him. "How did she die?" I asked. "Supposedly, she was drunk and overdosed on drugs." The woman replied. "Oh.. Okay. Thank you for your time." Alex and I walked outside and got into the van.

*Louis' POV*

We walked into the house. It looked like a small little apartment. There was "Caution" tape everywhere. We walked into a room and there was a white blanket on the bed. The cop took the blanket off of the lady's head.

"Yup, that's her." Andie said, tears filling up in her eyes. "Oh my gosh.." I said. I ran out of the room and sat in the van. Niall opened the door to the van and hopped in.

"What was that about?" Niall asked. "I'm gonna tell you something. You can't tell Harry that I told you and you can't tell Andie." I said sternly. "But, she's kind of my girlfriend." "YOU CAN'T TELL HER. No matter how much you want to, you can't." I said again. "Fine.. Just tell me." "That was Harry's real mum." "... What?" Niall said with a puzzled look on his face. "Remember? Harry's mum abandoned him at birth and he was adopted by Anne." I asked. "Yeah.." "Look at this picture Harry found. It was of him and his real mum." I pulled out my phone and pulled up the picture that Harry sent me. "Oh my gosh.. So Harry and Andie are like.." He paused. "Step-siblings." "We have to tell Harry! If we tell him, he won't abuse her!" He said excitedly. "But Harry might be angry or sad he never got to meet his real mum." I said. "I'm telling Harry!" Niall yelled.

Andie and her friend got in the van. We both stopped talking. "Let's go. We're gonna be late." Andie said. "What's your friends name?" I asked with a smile on my face. "I'm Alex and you're Louis and Niall." She said, smiling back. "Fan of One Direction?" Niall asked. "Yup!" She said with a cheerful look on her face. "Who's your favorite member?" I asked. "You." She said looking away. "Aww, thanks." I said blushing and we started driving to the hospital.
