Broken: A New Life. (Lauren Cimorelli Story. BOOK 2)

Chapter 4.

On Sunday morning I woke up, had breakfast and immediately began to prepare for shooting video. I clocked hair, make up, wore a baggy sweater and white jeans, put the camera in front synthesizer, including it and immediately began shooting.

"Hi, I'm Lauren Cimorelli. I will sing a song Try by Colbie Caillat. This is my first single cover, I hope you enjoy it. And thanks to Diana from Twitter for a great idea."

I started singing. Throughout the song, I thought about my actions that I've done. I sang with all my heart. Please let them all get better.
I took the whole song for the third time. I just get lost repeatedly thinking about Angela, and how much she has changed my life. Now I sit in the flat front of the camera, studying by correspondence, work and pregnancy. And I was running around LA and find birthday gifts Christina and Alex.

Quickly edit video, I left it loaded the canal and looked at the clock. Five pm! I don't think I finished so early.

Dani's POV

As usual in silence we had lunch and went about our business. Now in the house constant silence. Each family member is worried about Lauren. Especially Christina. She always goes with red eyes and blames herself for the fact that she hit her and Lauren escaped. Dad, too, is constantly pale. It breaks down to junior, and senior to permanently after his little tantrums, my mother takes him to the office and they sit there for as long as it's not disperse on the bed.

I'm also very worried. The first few days, when she left, I tried to hold on. But when almost a month later, I went downstairs to pour myself a tea, I saw Alex sitting on the floor near the door. He was almost white, his hands were shaking. When I rushed to him, he looked at me and said that he saw Lauren. She was in Angela's house all the time.

"But now she's gone," Alex said quietly, when I jumped up to tell all parents. "She shouted at me and ran away."

"Where?" Also very quiet I asked him.

"I don't know. This is all because of me. What a fool I was..." he blurted out and slammed his fist on the floor.

He didn't tell me then what happened, and I just stopped going out of the room, cursing Angela. This stuff ruined our lives! I cried constantly, until one day Katherine didn't come to me.

"Leave me alone." I said angrily, not even turning to her.

"Dani. She's fine, OK?

"Fine?!" I jumped out of bed and glared at her sister "Fine?! Yes, we don't know whether it is good or not all! What if she is dead?!" I crept down my cheeks tears.

"Don't talk like that." I snapped Katherine. "Do not say that, Danielle. You must be strong. You must be a support for our father! Support for Christina!"

"Yes she spit on Lauren! All she knows is "CimFam, CimFam, CimFam"!"

"Enough!" Cried Katherine. "You know nothing! She blames herself for her escape! She writes songs, beautiful songs, but she doesn't want to sing them without Lauren! She constantly crying, and Dani? What happened to Dani, who has always been a beacon of joy in this house? What happened to her?" Katherine asked bitterly, looking me in the eye.

"I lost my half." I said softly, looking down at the floor.

Katherine came to me and put her arm around my shoulders.

"You did not lose her. I'm sure she's all right. She writes tweets. She puts pictures in instagram. All is well. Until she does, we know that she's all right. Do not worry. And come back."

I shivered at the memory. After a conversation with Katherine, I really came to life. But still, I felt like the basement. I went and looked at twitter conversation with Lauren. Nothing. She didn't answer. I went to her page and stupefied.
