The Runaways

Chapter 8

Author's Note; Yayy new chapter! :) I have a question...do any of my readers watch The Fosters? I'm asking this bc I'm still freaking out over the Winter Premiere xD

Chapter 8;

-Jade's POV-

There. I admitted it. Myrtle is my sister. Last time I saw her was when I was 8. She was 18, leaving for college in the fall. And that was the last time our family saw her.

I moved to Miami when I finished college. But I had no inkling that Myrtle lived here.

So I married Elliot, had the twins, Alex and Dani, and we decided to create a foster home. So here we are.

But seeing her on the news. Just seeing my sister again. It just made me feel...lonely.

Why am I lonely? I keep asking myself that. I have a wonderful family, right here.

Maybe it's the fact that Myrtle never came home. Or maybe it's just...I don't know.

We all sat in silence in the kitchen.

I don't know how much time has passed but Austin and Ally looked at me with tears in their eyes.

"Please...please don't. P-please don't send us back." Ally said. She broke into tears.

"I just don't...I don't...I can't..." She was broken inside.

Austin hugged her and tried to calm her down, tears starting to fall.

"Alls..." He said, softly.

I went to Ally.

"Ally...I'm so sorry. I just...couldn't hold it in anymore." I said.

She looked at me, still sniffling, and said; "It-it's fine...I just...don't want Myrtle...here."

"What do you mean, Ally?" Austin asked.

"I'm say-ing that...i-if they're gon-na investiga...te...they go to...to...fami...ly mem-members first..." Ally said.

I looked down. Oh my god. Why didn't I think of that? Stupid, stupid, stupid, me.

"Jade?" Elliot called me.

"May I please talk to you in the music room?" He said.

I nodded and we made our way out of the kitchen to the music room.

"Look...we have to do something. We just can't give Austin and Ally back to Myrtle. Do you know what your sister did to them?" He said.

"I don't know what to do right now...but I've never seen Myrtle so cruel. When I was a little girl, she was the best sister anyone could ask for. She helped me when no one else could. But I don't know what happened to her...something in her...snapped." I said.

"Can we at least have Austin and Ally stay here? It's not safe for them to be roaming around. Most of Florida knows." Elliot said.

I thought about it. Austin and Ally were good kids...but I'm not sure about taking in Myrtle's foster children.

"No. They can't stay. I'm sorry, Elliot. They just...can't." I said.

Authors Note; Ooooh...I just love teasing you guys ;)
