Hey so heres the second chapter for those of you that read my story when it was one whole HUGE chapter I apolagize because you have probabily already read this and the next few chapters :)

  It's Thursday morning and getting out of bed proved alot harder than I thought. Staying clear of mom and Melony's bedroom not wanting to have another break down I make my way down our old creaky stairs.

Before I left my bedroom I made sure to call the school telling them I was home sick, not yet ready to admit the inevetable. As I make my way to the living room I realize how hungry I am after not eating anything the night before.

On my way to the kitchen I hear a knock at the door, not expecting anyone I open it and am surprised to find the same cops as yesterday standing on my porch.

"Good morning Miss.Trillete, may we come in?" The pudgy one asks frasing it as more of a statement than a question.

"Sure.." I state moving to the side and closing the door behind the two older men.

"I'm officer Russel," The pudgy one says extending his hand to me with a with a warm smile.

As I shake officer Russels hand the younger cop speaks up for the first time while also extending a hand, "I'm officer Lax." 

"Rose," I smile looking from Offcier Lax to Officer Ruseel.

"Is there any place we can sit down and talk?" Officer Russel asks smiling.

"Yes, this way." I say leading them to the kitchen table. 

"We would like to discuss some plans for the future," Officer Lax starts. "Did your mother ever talk to you about anyone you could stay with if..." he trails off clearing his throat before continue. "If the inevetable were to happen?" 

"No, we never really talked about it." I claim not recalling having that conversation with my mother.

"We'll look into that, there's also a meeting schedualed with your lawyer tommorow to finalize all the arramgements about your mothers Will," Officer Russel nods smiling.

 I pull on my worn out running shoes grab my jacket and walk through are old screen door.  Taking in a ragged breath I pull my cell phone out of my jacket pocket and dial Osten's number, it rings a few times which in reality seems like an eternity before he picks up.

"Hey," He Chirps through the phone.

"Hi," I say chocking back the tears just waiting to fall on their own accord, at the moment it feels amazing to hear a firmiliar voice.

"Can we meet somewhere?" I ask my voice catching on th end as I think back to yesterdays events.

"I'll be there in a couple minutes," he responds and hangs up not needing to hear more.

 Sitting down on the porch I pull my nea's to myself and break down as the days events race through my head. Not wanting him to see me so vulnerable I wipe the tears from my eyes and sit up a little bit straighter.

As I hear his engine come to a halt, I walk towards his truck. He's leaning towards my side and opening the door for me as I step in.

He starts the engine and I can see that he's heading to the usual spot. The tree house that we used to come to when we were younger. This was the place that we could always find the other person. Even when their family members had no idea where they might be, we always had this in common.

As I recall the memories I feel a small smile tug it's way onto my lips. We're silent through the entire ride and as soon as we get there I jump out not wanting to be in the awkward situation any longer than I have to.
