~ Kayla's P.O.V.~
" Valerie Grueter."
" Positive, congratulations young lady."
Isla smiles wide as the woman at one of the many booths tells her that her sister is to be brought to her. Isaac steps forward.
" Emma Lancaster."
" Positive."
Will isn't with me; he's spending the day with Cole, and I came here to check on my family.
Isaac's smile is wide, and Caleb steps forward, asking for his parents... positive. Next is Kristina, who says her mothers name... another positive. And now, it's my turn. I step forward with shaking hands and utter the first name.
" A-Anna Prior?"
" Sorry, negative." I take a breath, saying the next name.
" Richard Prior?"
" Negative."
I've lost hope. " Not even Meghan Prior?"
" Sorry dear, you're an Unknown, they target your families." I hang my head, turning around. Zack wraps an arm around my shoulders and steps forward to ask about his family, still holding on to me.
" Lara Daniel...?"
" Sir, she's positive. And sir... We've also got two other Daniels. Sara and Carlos." His smile is wide, and for a moment, I'm envious that he can smile a real smile... and that his parents are alive. That he can smile with happy emotion. Happy tears fill his eyes as he speaks.
" Thank you."
We get back to the dorms, and Zack follows me.
" Kayla, It ok--"
" It's ok, Zack? It's ok? Because last time I checked, having your whole family dead isn't ok!"
" You have Will and Cole." He says, trying to keep his cool.
" Well look where I landed Cole." I say coldly
" And Damon--"
" You wouldn't know."
That's when he blows up. " Exactly Kayla, I wouldn't know! You need to face reality; No one knows because we don't have lives as freaking messed up as yours!" It hits me hard, and I feel my gut drop. My bottom lip wobbles as Zack's eyes widen, realizing what he just said.
I feel a strong pang in my chest as my eyes sting. That really hurt.
I hang my head. Bottled up emotions, Kayla.
" Kayla, I--"
" No! No, you can't j-just say something l-like that... and expect me to f-forgive you! D-Don't even try!" I sob, looking at him. " Get out!" He stands there for, like, a minute, before whispering sorry one more time and quietly opening the door and leaving.
I completely break down, tears streaming down my face. I can't.
Isla comes into our dorm, still oblivious to the fact that I'm crying. " Kayla--" Before she can continue, I collapse into her shoulder, crying my heart and soul out as she strokes my back gently, whispering incoherent words. I know that everyone is turning on me, so I need to hold on to those who still haven't.
~Isla's P.O.V.~
" What did he say?"
Kayla takes a shaky breath and rubs her red eyes. After all the crying she did, I had to know what had happened.
" Something along the lines of, ' No one understands how you feel, because they don't have a messed up life like you." Something like that."
That little—! Keep your calm, Isla.
We sit in silence for a few minutes before Kayla tells me she's going to sleep as she turns out the lights. I feel bad, but I honestly can't wait to see my sister.
