The Day Their Lives Changed

Chapter 2

Sarah(POV)-

"My parents told me that we're going to Hawaii for vacation!" Alex said jumping up and down while we walked into school.

"Really, mines taking me to the Bahamas," Megan said looking at Alex like she was crazy. Every year they go somewhere for vacation. So it's not surprising that they're going this year too.

"So where are you going, Sarah?" Alex and Megan look at me waiting for me to answer them. I never go to on as many vacations as they do and when I do it's never as tropical or exciting as where they go.

"I don't know, we might not go anywhere this year," I say opening my locker and getting my books that I need for class out. I start to walk to my class, I have history first, I hate history, I tell myself while I'm thinking about how my foster family never goes on vacation.

"Maybe they're surprising you?" Alex asks interrupting my thoughts. "No, they're not," I say stopping in front of my classroom.

"This is not over," Megan says pointing to me, while she and Alex turn and walk to their classes. I walk into my class and go into the back of the class and sit by the window. I started to play with my necklace remember, the guy I got it from. His brown hair that went a little past his ears, his chocolaty brown eyes, that looked like they had a hint of gold in them, and that wound that he had. I was drawn out of my thoughts when the door slammed open and in walked the schools, bad boys. They don't care about anyone, it's said that their part of the local mafia.

They walk to the back and look at me, I hide the necklace back in its spot. Their leader, Luke, sits next to me and smiles, this has every girl swoon, I scoff and look back out the window. When the bell rings I get up and walk to my next class.

3 periods done and it's time for lunch, so I make my way to the cafeteria. I look for Alex and Megan when I pump into something, "I'm sorr-" I was saying while I look up, I stopped when I saw who it was. Luke stands there smiling at me, I just give him a forced smile then walk by him. I can feel his eyes on me while I spot Alex and walk over to her.

"Hey," Alex said while I walk up to her. "Hey, I'm going to get lunch" I saw when I get to her. She nods at me and walks to the line to get food. I get my food and I start to walk towards my table when one of Lukes friends stands in front of me.

"What?" I say looking at him, showing that I'm angry. He's ruining my lunch, I want to eat. I say to myself. "Luke wants to talk to you," he says handing me a note, then walks off. I watch him walk off wondering what just happened.

"What was that?" Megan says to me when I sit down at the table. "I don't know, Luke wants to meet me I guess?" I say look at them, their give a confused look. "When does he want to meet?" Alex asks me, they both look at me. I shrug and unfold the note, "after school, on the bleachers," I say looking up at them. "What do you think he wants to talk to you about?" Megan asks I was about to answer when the bell rings signaling that lunch was over and it was time to go to class.

The bell rings telling us that the school day has ended. I let out a relaxed sigh when I walk out of school and see Lukes group over by his car, they look at me, one of them nods his head towards the bleachers. I let out a big sigh and start walking towards the bleachers when I get there I see that no one's I let out a frustrated breath. I start to walk away when I feel someone grab my arm and pull me under the bleachers. I turn around and stared at the man who grabbed me.

"What do you want Luke?" I asked staring at him.

"That's a nice necklace you got there," he says grabbing the necklace from its hiding spot.

Derek(POV)-

"Come in," I say when I hear knocking on the door.

"Hey, I got news about the girl," Brett walks in with a smile on his face. I look up from my papers on my desk. "What, is it just another dead end or will it actually lead somewhere?" I ask him, tired of the all the dead ends my spies have sent me on. "It does, after all of those dead ends we started to look into the girls more," Brett said sitting down across from my desk. "What did you get?" I said looking at him, I've been looking for this girl for 2 years. I can still remember what she looks like, her long blond hair, and those beautiful sky blue eyes. I still remember the bruises all over her arms, legs, and face, when ever she would come to take care of me.

"Her names Sarah Pepper, he's 17, a junior that goes to Rumming Hill High School," Brett said handing me a piece of paper. "Her mother died during a robbery gone wrong when she was 10, her father was in and out of jail, and she's lived with him ever since her mother died. Her father was arrested the day that you left the girl," Brett said listing off her past to me see if what I knew about the Sarah and my mystery girl was the same. "What was he arrested for Brett?" I ask looking at Brett, he looked like he did want to tell me something. "What is it, Brett?" I ask sternly.

"He was arrested for robbery, trespassing, and abuse when she was young. He has recently arrested for abuse and rape." Brett said with a sad look on his face.

I try and remember what she said to me when we would talk.

"So, why are you always coming out here?" I ask eating a sandwich that she gave me. "I like it out here, and you need someone to look after you," she said looking at me. I reach up and touch her cheek, she flinches and I pull away. "oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you," I say, going back to eating my sandwich silently. "Oh no, it's not your fault, my dad just gets a little angry when he's drunk especially when I dont do what he wants me to do," she said grabbing my hand, I knew I shouldn't have asked but I was too curious to keep quiet.

"What does he want you to do?" I ask looking at her, when I ask I can see her flinch and open her mouth and close it, I see her start to shake. " I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, you dont have to answer if you dont want to," I say grabbing her hand to calm her down. I see her relax, we stay like that for a couple of minutes before she starts to talk. "No, it's okay, let's just say that I look a lot like my mom and my dad likes to play when he's drunk," I realized what she means when she looks at me.

"Derek is it her or not?" Brett yelled at me interrupting my thoughts. "Yeah, it's her," I say looking at Brett. He gets ready to leave, " okay, I'll tell the boys to bring her here," Brett said turning and walking towards the door. "Wait, who found her?" I ask Brett before he walks out the door. "Luke Cole," he says smiling, I look at him surprised, "your brother," I say and Brett nods his head with a smile on his face. Luke is Bretts younger brother, I've known him for almost the same amount of time I've known Brett, Luke is 18, he's only 3 years younger than me and Brett. He's like a younger brother to me.

"I can't wait to see the girl I've been looking for all this time," I tell myself, I just hope that she remembers me. It should be some more time until she comes here, I just hope she remembers me. I say to myself starting to do my paperwork, with a smile on my face.
