Lost Yet Found

Chapter 14 - Talking About The Future

hey guys I hope you've been enjoying my book, let me know what you think, of it that helps me to write better when i get feedback a lot of the time. I'm also so sorry this chapter is so short, it needed to be that way.

Demi carried me inside and laid me down on the couch, Nick walked over and said "Demi I think I should go, I'll see you at the studio or in week when the tour starts," he winked and then walked out the house. Demi sat down next to me and said "Natalia why don't you go upstairs and rest," she nodded and said "I know what your doing," as she walked upstairs, Demi smiled and turned to me. I said "so what do you what to talk about, I know you want to talk about something?," Demi's expression grew blank and she said "when you were kidnapped I got a phone call that said "the police found you, and you were dying. They said you probably wouldn't make it to the hospital alive because of how much blood you lost, I was scared for I thought you were going to die." 

Demi paused and said "I realized how much I care about you, so that's why I decided to foster you and your cousin, I'm planning to adopt you at some point, in the future, I'm not so sure about your cousin though, I just don't completely trust her, if you know what I mean." I nodded understanding her concern I replied "thank you so much Demi, ever since I met you, you've been nothing but kind and caring, I appreciate that, I understand you're distrust of my cousin, it's normal, I don't trust her completely yet. I trust her though, I don't think her loyalties lie with her uncle," Demi closed her eyes and sighed she and questioned "so where did her dad shoot you?," I pointed to my lower thigh, left shoulder and to my left lung. 

Demi stood up and said "I'll pack you things for the tour, the social worker is bringing Natalia's things later today, she said she'll get the rest of yours from the orphanage too, I'll also pack extra of my clothes so that you guys can borrow them if you want." I responded "thank you," Demi replied "it's no problem," as she put the blanket on the back of the couch over me, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep as Demi walked upstairs.

{Natalia's P.O.V.}

I heard Demi walk upstairs and I walked out of my room and said "hey, so I heard what you said about not trusting me completely and I understand, just know that I'm not going to turn my back on you guys. I won't help uncle Dave hurt Emily, Demi, I'm not that type of person," Demi smiled and said "I know, it's just hard for me to accept that your not going to trick me or Emily in the future, it's not that I don't trust you. It's that I don't trust your uncle Dave and what's been going on, he could trick you into doing something, I'm sure I'm just being over cautious but it's hard for me to let things like this go." I gave Demi a confused yet understanding look before I said "you're right, I would be that way too, if I was in your position."  I walked back into the guest room and laid down on the bed, I closed my eyes and began drifting off to sleep.

{Demi's P.O.V.}

A few hours after the girls fell asleep the doorbell rang, I walked downstairs and opened it, Emily's social worker was standing in the doorway with Natalia's and Emily's bags, I picked up some. The social worker said "I'm Rhonda, let me help you with those," she picked up some of them and followed me upstairs, I set them in the hallway outside the guest room and whispered "thank you very much for helping me with the bags. I'll call you if I have any questions or if I need to talk to you about anything," she replied "yes I'm always available, I need to go now, but I wish you luck with them." 

I closed the door behind Rhonda the social worker and walked back upstairs to my room, I continued to pack my bags for the tour, I had emailed the security team and the police station that creepy letter that I received. I still haven't told the girls about it, and I'm hoping I won't have to but if something happens to me or them, then I don't know what I'll do, I just hope nothing to awful happens, because if one of them dies and It's my fault I'll probably end up doing something really stupid.
