Lillian

Chapter 12

I remember waking up to the smell of roses on my pillow again.

Clara was the only one up and she was making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the day ahead.

Clara really was just like my mother in many ways. She would get up early and make breakfast or lunch.

I was happy that we crossed paths and now I can call her my friend.

"Hey Mom!" I heard someone yell on the bus.

"Yes Zachariah." She said just like my mother would using my full name.

"Mom, I told you once I will tell you again. Please no jelly on the sandwich. It just ruins it." Some boy said.

Wait! Zachariah is Zac! And then that must mean. I turned the corner of my old bus seat to see Zac and Clara talking over his sandwich as I moved in closer. Then the seat started to make a "CREAK!" sound when they both looked at me. Wide eyed hoping that I was sleepwalking.

"Um.. Ms. Clara do you think that I could get another sandwich?" He asked trying to be like the whole conversation before hand didn't happen.

"Zac! Stop okay. I know that Ms. Clara is your mom. Why would you keep that a secret from me?" I asked all willingly to talk.

"Well honey I'm well was a Glassbook." She said all nicely, but I knew inside that something was happening. All I needed was the right person to go to. And that was Zac.

"Hey Mom! Hey Zac!" A girl said.

"Who are you?" I asked this girl with light brown hair. She was really pretty and she looked like she has played sports since a baby.

"Oh sorry not to introduce myself. I'm Riley Williams. Son of Clarence and Clara Williams and brother of Zac and -" She said.

Why did she cut herself of. Is there another brother out there that I need to search for? How much trouble with this get me into? I don't know but know I have to get this and find Audrey.

"Zac! That's my only brother! Sorry I had a slip of the brain." She said laughing.

Okay maybe Riley could tell me who it is. All I have to do is break her and find the answers.
