Last One Standing

Chapter 3: News

I wake up to my own scream. For some odd reason it has a comforting feel. Screaming. I did it when I found out I was adopted. Mostly at Simon and Louis. Whenever I think about it,it all just comes back in a blur.

"Why did you even make me feel welcome?" I screamed.

"Sis..."

"I'm not your sister!"

I was about fourteen when they told me and I was hurt and angry that they hadn't told me sooner.I trudged down stairs still in my pajamas. Everyone was curled up in a chair or on the sofa bed.

"Look, Sleeping beauty decided to join us," Louis said laughing.

"Oh ha ha," I said rolling my eyes and punching him in the arm.

"Ouch," he said rubbing his arm.

"Wimp," I said giggling.

"Am not!"

"Are so!"

"AM NOT!"

"So help me I will get the carrots," I said.

"You wouldn't," Louis said accusingly.

"Oh, I think everyone here knows I would."

"Both of you stop it," Simon said coming out of the kitchen.

Niall walked out of the kitchen with six Oreo's in each hand.

"Horan you are such a pig," I said scoffing at Oreos.

"Hey!"he said Oreo crumbs falling out of his mouth. Simon turned on the t.v. and turned it to the news.

"And for world news," said the news lady, Cory Tanners. "A strange epidemic is happening all over the world only small areas as of right now but scientist say it is sure to spread."

"Evan come sit by me," Noah says patting the bed area beside him. I hadn't noticed he was there. He must have stayed the night.

"I thought your mom was sick. Why did you stay over?" I asked.

A tear fell from his face. "I got a text last night. She died,Evan."

Noah leaned over into my lap and just sat there and cried. He did it so very rarely that I forgot what it felt like when some one you love is genuinely sad. It just feels like a giant hole is missing. Like someone ripped part of you in half.

"Noah," Zayn said reaching over and patting his back.

"I'm fine," Noah said leaning up and wiping away the tears. He does that a lot, pretend like he wasn't crying.

The news kept talking about whether and sports but not about the sickness.

Nothing about what might happen if it did spread. If it killed us all.
