Chapter 7: THIS JUST IN! I'M A WHAT NOW?!
**Alice**

"WHAT IN THE LIVING HELL?!" Rae screamed.

Sitting around our table was none other than our childhood friends from the foster home that Rae and I were in. They had taken in a lot of kids at that time. At that time they had Rae and I. Then they had Dean, - who currently looked like he was about to spit his drink out - Amy, - who was just sitting at the table next to Dean - and Dex - who was the one that got burned by Rae, so he was currently jumping around our dining room cursing like a sailor.

"Surprise?" Amy said weakly. Her eyes were huge with a mixture of disbelief and fear. Her eyes looked like they could pop out of her head.

"SURPRISE MY ASS! I'M THE ONE WHO GOT BURNED!" Dex screamed. That all it took for Dean to spit out his water and start laughing. Dex shot daggers at Dean before looking at us. His baby blue eyes found mine and softened.

When I was younger I had a crush on him, I mean we weren't blood related so I guess it was okay, but I knew he only looked at me like a younger sister. He was two years older than me and Rae. Dean is at the moment 25 and Amy is 23. Dex had blue eyes and blonde hair, he was the jock of the foster home. Dean had green eyes and dirty blonde hair, and was the hot head and cutie of the foster home. Amy was the shy one with brown eyes and raven black hair.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Rae yelled looking like she just saw a ghost. Dean continued coughing, or choking. One of those two.

"Well we have a friend who could hack into things and had him look into you guys because you know after you two left everything there was weird and horrible and just different. We wanted to find you Mel even had the cops look for you guys but no matter how long and far they searched they never found you and just considered you dead. Mel fell into depression and Keegan just worked so we didn't have to see how depressed he was. Dex missed having Ali to see, Dean missed having someone to annoy the crap out of him and I had no girls to play barbies with, I mean I understand why you left It's just-" Dean slapped his hand over Amy's mouth before she went on for hours. I understood barely any of those words because she was talking so fast but okay.

"Whats she's trying to say is we needed our little sister's back." Dean said. I was shocked. His voice, holy crap. I regained myself and sighed. I walked over to the table and sat in a chair, Rae doing the same. Its been years and we all had talking to do.

"One thing before we start getting together again..." Amy started slowly, Dean and Dex seemed to know where this was going. "Theres someone you need to meet Rae." Amy said. Rae was confused at what she said. And to be honest so was I.

"Iris!" Dex called, Who was Iris? I heard a small thump, before small tiny footsteps started walking our way. Me and Rae turned to the archway and a small girl came though. She was about half of my height, she had auburn colored hair, and a pale complexion. When she looked up, I knew who she was. Someone who Rae has stayed up late at nights thinking about.

Iris, was my niece, Rae's Daughter.

I walked into school with Rae by my side, both of us looked like crap. I didn't get any sleep last night, I couldn't. I know Rae didn't either. Just tossing and turning all night, but nothing. Iris was 7, and was so much like Rae it was scary.

I should explain. Rae wasn't a slut when she was 11, she was a victim. Of rape. We don't talk about it much, I mean would you want to talk about your most traumatic thing that happened in your life? No one caught the guy who did it to her, but after he did, she got pregnant. After the child was born she left it with Mel and ran with me.
