Forgotten Sissters

Chapter 9

Lana's POV

My life has changed in the span of an hour. My home and parents gone because of a fire. I had been sitting in my room (I was still grounded for going to the party with Josh) when I saw smoke coming from under my door.

I felt my door and didn't feel any heat so I thought it was my mom in the kitchen trying to cook again. Only when I went to check did I see that she wasn't even in the kitchen and the oven wasn't even on and the smoke was coming from the Christmas tree in the corner of our living room. I could see the flames dancing around the bottom of the tree. I ran to get my parents out of their room as the flames climbed higher.

I banged on their door relentlessly. I still couldn't get them out or me in. I yelled that there was a fire and they needed to get out now. I didn't hear any movement on the other side of the door.

After that I don't remember anything. I think I passed out but seeing as the doctor hasn't come near me in the past hour that I have been here at the hospital. I'm starting to get made. I have no grandparents to call. I have no family to call at all.

Well I might have one family member but a DNA test would have to be done for me to find out the truth on that.

I am completely alone right now. I am or was one of the most popular girls in the AEHS freshman class but none of my friends are here to comfort me or calm me down when a nurse or doctor passes by with a needle in hand (I hate them and know I am not the only one who does).

I became desperate there were two people I could call but I don't want to call them. They probably just laugh at me. Well one of them will laugh; the other...

Dam there is a knock at my door I got to go. Will write more later.

Lilly's POV.

I can't believe it Lana has no one right now. I've hated her in the past but I feel incredibly sorry for her right now. wow never thought I would write that. I have no idea what I would do if I lost my adoptive parents. I know I would cry but after that I have no clue because there is no way that I can imagine what life would be like without them.

I really need to find out who her parents could be. So I started a list. I know there's Mia's so I wrote them down on a piece of note book paper first but couldn't think of anyone else so I stopped there.

After failing at writing the list of who could be Lana's real parents could be like I promised I would I decide to go to Mia's and talk to her about it. Fresh eyes can always help a project progress faster if it ever gets stuck.

I knocked on the door and waited for Mia.

"Lilly what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I wanted to talk about Lana in person with you?"

"Sure let's go to my room." She said starting for her room.

Once we got into her room she spoke first. "If I have to I'm sneaking out of her to see Lana. I know I can't stand her but she just lost her adoptive parents without knowing who her real parents are. I want to see if she knows anything about who her real parents could be."

"That's what I was thinking." I yelled out before she could start ranting again.

"Can I stay at your place tonight it will make it easier to get to the hospital?"

"Sure it will be fine with my parents if yo..."

"Mom!" she yelled interrupting me.

"What do you need Mia?" asked her mother Helen.

"Can I stay at Lilly's tonight? We have a project to finish for the winter fair tomorrow and it might get our minds off of Lana and her situation right now."

"That's fine as long as you stay in the apartment all night and you have Lars take you." She replied. "And make sure you make sure you go to School I don't care if there is only a fair tomorrow."

"I will."

"You also Lilly."

"Yes. Ms. Thermopolis."

"Don't call me that you make it makes me feel old." she replied with a smile and walking out of the room.

"Pack a bag to make it look real. Oh and I have a wig you can wear so the camera people at the hospital don't recognize you."

"I was wondering what we were going to do about that."

"Princess, are you ready?"

"Yes Lars I am."

After that Lars led us to the waiting limo. I was used to riding in them now because of Mia and it kind of make me wonder if I'm going to deal with a body guard and driver in a few weeks time.

We had been in my room for an hour when Mia had thrown a pillow at me and yelled "Lilly!"

"What?" I asked throwing the pillow back at her.

"I've been trying to tell you that I told grandmère that you are coming with me to Genovia as a friend. She insists that you come with me tomorrow after school lets out to get fitted for a few basic dresses for the royal functions and stuff like that."

"I have dresses that I could wear."

"None that she would approve, you don't have any designer made dresses only off the rack." Mia replied.

"That is going to suck."

"Oh come on we can get to the hospital now."

I tossed the wig at her she put it on and we rode the elevator down. We hailed a cab and told them to stop a block from the hospital because we could walk the rest of the way. He hadn't argued with the plan especially with the big tip we gave him.

We were able to sneak up to Lana's room. (I peaked at the chart to get the room number). We almost got caught by a nurse at the nurses' station. Once she was gone we found Lana's room and knocked on the door.

Once we opened the door all the way we saw Lana in a state we haven't seen her in ever before.
