Lost and Found {5SOS Fanfic}

Indi's POV:

I was about to turn the door handle to walk into class when I was greeted by a flashback.

Flashback

Uncle Liam, Holly and I are on the way to my house for a family dinner. It's Christmas Eve, and honestly, I couldn't be more excited for Christmas. The best part of Christmas is that I get to spend it with all of my family. I know that sounds so fake and stupid but honestly, it is true! They live 10 hours away, so Christmas one of the only times that I get to see them. We have just been ice skating for the day, and although I'm not that great, it was heaps of fun! It has been snowing all day, so it made the experience so much better. It never used to snow in Australia, and Christmas was always stinking hot since it is summer over then when it is Christmas. Although it is really pretty over there, I must say the heat does suck.

"How far away are we, Uncle Liam?" I ask, eager to get back home.

"Not far now, only 15 minutes or so." He replies, smiling.

"So, Indi, what do you want for Christmas this year?" Holly looks at me with her award winning smile, awaiting my answer. Holly and Uncle Liam live the closest to us, only an hour or so away. I get to see Holly quite a lot, and we are more like sisters than cousins, and I consider Uncle Liam to be like the father I don't really have, even though that sounds really weird.

"Not much really. To be honest, all I want is to spend Christmas with my family."

"Aww, that's sweet, but what do you really want?"She asks, nearly bouncing out of her seat.

"It's true!" I reply, "But if you insist that I tell you something that I really want, then I would have to say a plane ticket back to Australia. Not to live, of course, but I would just love to go back and see all of my old friends." In the 7 years that Mum and I have been living in England, we haven't been back to Australia once, and I truly do miss Australia. I miss Jordan and Ashton, who, besides Adele, are my two best friends. We used to chat on the phone for hours and tell each other about our lives and what we have been doing, but about a year or so ago we stopped talking and lost contact. I'm not really sure why, it isn't like we hate each other. I guess we have all just moved on with our lives. I haven't really moved on from them, to be honest. I still miss them so much, and I often wonder if they miss me too.

All of a sudden I am snapped out of my reverie when the car starts sliding from the ice on the road. Uncle Liam loses control of the car and it hits the barrier on the side of the road and flipped, smashing onto the ground upside down and sliding to the other side of the road. All I can do is scream. I grab Holly and we hug each other tight. I can feel the blood from a cut on her arm pour out and all over me, but I don't care about that. I just hope and pray that Holly and Uncle Liam are alright. Once the car hits the barrier on the other side of the road, the car flipped again and the next thing I know, everything goes silent and all I can see is black.

End of flashback.

I started shaking and had to grip onto the door handle for support. No, I thought, this can't be happening. I thought I wasn't having flashbacks and nightmares anymore. I hadn't had one in 7 months. I guess they decided to come back at the worst possible time, on my first day of Grade 12. I recollected myself and went to open the door when Ashton stopped me.

"Are you alright Indi? I mean, one minute you were fine and the next minute you started shaking." A look of worry was plastered on his face.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I replied, walking into class just as the bell rang. Ashton and I quickly got a seat in the row second to the back, but while we were walking to our seat I heard a bunch of people say horrible things such as "Gaybo" or "Faggot". I wasn't really sure if they were saying them to me or to Ashton. I suddenly felt insecure and vulnerable.

Class seemed to go by pretty quick, and Ashton and I chatted every now and then. About half way through the class though, someone threw a pencil at Ashton's head. Ashton just sat there and ignored it as if nothing had happened. I turned around to see a bunch of boys snickering and laughing. I shot them a glare and they shut up, but for some reason, I knew that wouldn't shut them up for long.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm used to it now. It's just the same old thing. Pick on Gaybo Ashton." He replied, acting as if it was totally normal.

"That is not ok!" I whisper shouted to him. "Do you ever tell them to stop?"

"I tried that once. I ended up getting punched in the face. Didn't turn out too well for me, I guess." I just sat there, furious. How can people be so horrible?! It is obvious that Ashton hasn't done anything to them. Just then another pencil was chucked at Ashton, and, to my surprise, one at my head too.

"Can you not?" I half asked/half threatened them.

"Please, just leave it." Ashton begged.

"Fine, I won't say anything more now. But if they do it again, trouble is coming their way." I said, the anger boiling inside me. The rest of the class flew by, me just trying to concentrate on my work and not on the idiots behind us. Instead, I kept asking myself one question. Where have I seen Ashton before?

Once the bell rang signalling that it was Lunch, Ashton and I got out of the class as fast as we could. We were greeted by a friendly, overexcited girl standing outside the door. Her eyes widened when she saw me.

"Oh my gosh... no, it can't be." I wasn't sure if she was talking to me, Ashton or herself. She ran up to me and embraced me in a massive hug. "I've missed you so much!"

"Uh, who are you again?" I said, completely confused.

"It's me, Jordan! Don't you remember me silly? You, Ashton and I used to be best friends!" What the?! I don't even know the pair of them, and they are claiming to be my best friends?!

"Um, no sorry, I don't remember you. I think you have the wrong Indiana Summers."

"Oh, don't worry, I was thinking of the wrong person. Our old best friends name was Indi Hudson. Gosh do I miss her sometimes. You know, it's been 10 years since she left."

That's weird, I thought, Hudson used to be my last name. We walked out to the oval and sat under a big gum tree in the far corner. For the whole lunch we chatted about our holidays and how my life was in England. Thinking about England made me sad as I missed my family a lot.

"I'm so jealous; I wish I could go to England. It looks so beautiful from the pictures and they have like, the best shops ever! Ours are crappy, I reckon." Jordan took a bite of her sandwich, awaiting an answer from me.

"Yeah, it is really beautiful, and the shops are great, but the weather sucks. It is always cold and raining."

"Oh well, I'd still love to go there." She smiled at me and took another bite of her sandwich. She is so nice; I can tell why I was supposedly best friends with her once. The bell rang to signal that classes were starting in 5 minutes so we quickly hopped up and walked to class. I then realised I hadn't eaten anything, so I grabbed a muesli bar out of my bag and ate it as quick as I could.

Jordan and Ashton were both in my History class so we all sat together and basically just chatted the whole lesson, there wasn't much to listen to anyway, and we were just watching a movie on the Victorian Age. As much as I wanted to chat to Ashton and Jordan, I found myself thinking about one question, where have I seen Jordan and Ashton before?
