Kidnapped... With Who?! (Completed)

Ch. 17: Just a Dream

Hey...

Quick note today...

A lot of the upcoming chapters have country songs in them... you don't have to like country, just read the lyrics.

This one has Carrie Underwood's 'Just a Dream' in it soooo...

I know what it's about, but it's sad soooo...

Gotta go!

Love, Meaghan;)

BTW - Here's the music video ----->

I sat there, on my knees, sobbing in front of my dead little sister. I feel as if my whole world collapsed and crumbled around me, for Catlin was the center of it. I tried to move from my position multiple times, but had no strength to do so.

This was my fault... Shawn's fault... mom's fault..."dad"'s fault. I forced myself to stare at the corpse of my 8-year-old sibling. I was so numb, but in so much pain at the same time. I hadn't realised how much time had gone by until the boys walked in four hours later.

"Hey girlies! We're home!" Zayn yelled.

'Not girlIES,' I thought, 'girlY... she is gone.'

They walked into the living room and all at once, froze. "Catlin," Niall breathed.

Liam dropped his house keys.

Harry gaped at the scene, not touching his banana he picked up on the way in.

Zayn blinked away the tears forming in his brown eyes.

Louis face paled as white as a ghost itself.

Niall was in shock at first. I looked up, and our eyes met for a second before he ran off in tears. I looked to my sister once again. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

No reaction, not that I expected one.

I sobbed harder. I was hoping that I was just seeing things, but I now just realised my Kitty Cat was gone, never to come back. I fell to fetal position on the floor and cried. I have never felt so empty in my lifetime.

"Ariel," Louis whispered. He ran to my side and put me in his lap. He rocked us back and forth at a steady beat while I let out all of my tears. "Sshh. Baby girl. She's fine. She is a beautiful angel now. She can finally soar. You have to think of the positives; the things she said." I cried harder. "Ari... let me take you upstairs while Liam makes tea." I nodded.

He picked me up, and I snuck one last glance at my peaceful sister's dead body. I then hid my face and sobbed harder into his shirt.

We got to my room and he put me down on my bed. I just sat there staring blankly at the wall, as if it was an extremely interesting mystery that I was trying to uncover.

Louis sat next to me, but I didn't flinch. "Ariel?" I didn't move. "Ari? Please look at me." I refused.

He took my chin and turned my face to him. "Louis," I croaked. I fell into his lap, crying again.

"Shhh. Ariel, calm down a bit. Shhh. You'll be fine," he hushed.

I obeyed and calmed myself down. I sat up and looked at him. "She left... forever."

"I know. I know. But you're still here. She made it very clear to us that she would watch us and keep us safe. She is in a better place."

"I know," I whispered. "But she was my world. I did everything for her. She was my best friend when I needed one. My child when I wanted one. My sister. Now I feel lost without her."
