I wake up to the sounds of laughter filling the small room. The sunlight flows through the ripped curtains and there is a slight breeze around the room. I get up and walk straight to the bathroom. I do my business and realize that my hair is greasy and also very tangled. I don't have any spare clothes so I guess I can ask the boys what I'm supposed to do. As I walk out the room is silent and the boys are staring at me. "What?" I ask. Jason speaks up and says "Uhh...hey...look, we are really sorry about last night with the whole fight thing and I was hoping it could all just blow over?" "Yeah, it's ok. Anyway, do you guys know where I could find some extra clothes? I think you can obviously tell why..." I say. Jason gets up and motions for me to follow him. We are walking down the hallway and we come to a stop in an old, dusty room with metal washing machines and dryers. He explains to me how to use it and what to do and says there are extra clothes in the brown woven basket. I thank him and I go behind a panel to change. I put the clothes I've been using in the washing machine and start it. Then Andy walks in with a whole basket of laundry. "Hey, Andy!" "Oh! Hey what are you doing here?" she says. I tell her I needed to wash my clothes and that I was leaving. "Ok Bye! We should hang out sometime soon!" She says. "Sure!" I reply as I walk out the door. I go down to my room and I remember that today we can see where my parents are. I run in my room as fast as I can and take a quick shower. When I run out I feel like I'm on drugs because I am so happy. I'm practically jumping when finally Jaso asks why I'm so happy. "I get to find where my parents are! And you said you would help me! Let's go to the library! Please?!" I shout at him. "Alright alright, we can go." he says. I start jumping up and down and I grab his hand and rush us towards the library. The library is pretty much empty and I rush to the computer. He types in a login and we start. "What are your parents' names and last names?" he asks. I reply "Lily and Harry Port". He types in the name and we wait for it to load. The first thing that pops up is a news article about the crash.
"There seems to have been an accident including a drunk driver and a family of three. The only one who survived this terrible crash was a 9-year-old child named Elle. The parents of this situation have sadly passed away just moments after the crash"
I can't breathe or even thing as a tear runs down my face. "Wait...Who is Elle?"
TBC!! I left you with a cliffhanger! This was heartbreaking to write I literally almost cried. Anyway I hope you have bee enjoying the story so far! -CM
