From Nevis to New York. (Jamilton)

Chapter seven

Laf walked home at the end of the school day, unaware anything was wrong. As soon as they entered the house Martha pulled them into a hug. "Thank god at least you're alright!"

They looked at her, puzzled. "What do you mean Martha?" They noticed the tears staining her cheeks and frowned deeply. "What happened."

George cut in, "Alex, she's gone." His voice was solemn as he casted his gaze on the floor.

Laf let out a faint gasp, "where would she have gone."

Martha gulped, "w-we aren't sure darling, but we're gonna find her okay?"

George sighed, "the school called after she missed all her afternoon classes, I've already called the police."
"have you heard anything back yet George?" They asked hesitantly.

"No, we haven't."

Laf nodded softly and pulled out their phone. They started a group chat with their closest friends, Jane Laurens, Hannah Mulligan, and Tamsin Jefferson.

Laf: guys! My foster sister has gone missing! Have any of you seen her?

Hannah: what?! When did you last see her?

Laurens: that's horrible, I saw her in second period, she's in my art class. I saw her in the halls in third too.

Tamsin: she's missing?😳😰
Tamsin connected the dots and had a feeling this had something to do with what she had said to her earlier. An unknown feeling surfaced and she felt sick to her stomach

Laf: OUI! SHE IS GONE! AND GEORGE AND MARTHA ARE PANICKING!

Laurens: sounds like you're panicking too.

Tamsin: I think I know why she's missing.

Laf: WHAT?! WHY?! YOU MUST TELL ME!

Hannah: why would you know why she's missing?

Laurens: yeah, how would you know?

Tamsin: because I kinda caused it. 🙁😣

Laf: wait, what? What happened?

Tamsin: well she bumped into me and I told her to watch where she was going and she came back with a 'you bumped into me' and she was new so I wasn't gonna let her talk to me like that so I told her off, and may have called her a charity case and a street rat and she ran off, pretty sure she was crying but I dunno.

Laf: YOU IDIOT! YOU COMPLETE IDIOT! SHE COULD BE DEAD! OR IN SOME RANDOM MAN'S TRUNK!

Laurens: 😑😒

Hannah: you've fucked up big time Jefferson.

Tamsin: I know! I know! I'm sorry!

Laf: NON YOU AREN'T YOU ENJOY BEING AN ASS TO OTHERS! YOU PROBABLY ENJOYED INSULTING HER! HOW DARE YOU TAMSIN!

Laurens: yeah, remember that time you made fun of Charlie Lee until she cried. You're a fucking sadist.

Tamsin: you know what?! I don't have to take this!

                                                              Tamsin Jefferson has left the conversation

Hannah: don't worry Laf, we'll help you find Alex.

Laf: merci Mon ami.

Meanwhile Alex was imagining an entire different reaction. (Italics means Alex is imagining it)

Laf came home, a smile on their face as they were greeted at the door by Martha. "Bonjour Martha."

"Hello darling, how was school?"

"Wonderful, managed to get rid of the island brat first period, didn't have to put up with her for the rest of the day. Say, why did we take her in in the first place? She's such a drag."

Martha sighed, "George needed to win the minority votes, what better why to do that then adopting a minority? I swear as soon as he's won we'll send her back."

Laf nodded, "wait, shouldn't she be home by now?"

"Mhm, yes she should. I'm sure she's fine."

~timeskip brought by a group of friends with the same name. (Heather, heather, and heather (Veronica ruined it))~

Laf let out a sigh. Alex wasn't home and it had been hours. "Hopefully she got lost."

Hey guys gals and nonbinary pals! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm trying to sort out a more regular updating schedule so yeah. Until the next time!
