Chapter 12- It's a Good Plan

Clara Jauregui's POV.

"It's her. It must be!" I tell my husband.

It has been almost 13 years since I lost my firstborn child. We were traveling and I was pregnant with Taylor back then. It was too much to take in the pregnancy and having two small kids. We were almost late for the plane at the airport, so when we rushed with the kids and waited in the line impatiently Lauren walked away. We watched the video tapes but were too late to find the people who walked away with my child.

"How do you know for sure? What if she isn't?" He fights back.

My husband, Michael, is the person who doesn't want to get in trouble. Not in big trouble but he doesn't want to make things awkward between people he know.

"She told me she recognised by voice." I tell him.

It has been just an hour since everyone left and Taylor went to their house to play games with Safaa and Waliyha.

"She did?"

"She did. She said that she heard it just a few days ago when we weren't here."

"That's weird." Michael says looking at the ceiling of the living room instead of the television.

"She does look a lot like you when you were a teenager." Michael says after a long silence.

"She does." I breath out finally progressing the day.

"Did she say where she heard your voice?" He suddenly asks me.

"No. She didn't remember it, but she promised to tell me when she does know." I inform him. "She had memory loss when she was younger, and" I say letting out a deep breath. "Her mother is gone."

Lauren's POV.

"Sasha and Harry wants us to meet them at Coffee & Sweets." Zayn says as he looks up from his phone that beeped a minute ago.

"Now?" I wonder.

It was already close to the closing time of the stores.

"Yeah it is open till 10. They're waiting. C'mon." He says giving me a hand to stand up from the couch. I take his hand and he pulls me towards him. I almost smacked into his chest with mine, but I put my other hand just in between on time.

He gave me a small smirk before walking towards the door without letting go of my hand.

And for those who find it romantic, it really would be if he didn't had long steps. He walks fast.

I follow behind him not minding to take a coat, neither does he. We get on his bike. And this time I got really used to getting on it and almost all my fear for it has gone away. I hold on tight to him for a good ten minutes I smell his scent and let's be honest girls, men fragrances smell amazing.

...

"So I had an idea last night and I didn't wanted to announce it without Lauren's permission, so excuse us for a minute gentleman." Sasha says pushing me from the booth.

When we had arrived we hugged each other and took our seats next do them. I sat next to Sasha and in front of me was Zayn and next to him was Harry. The store was pretty empty which we were lucky for. But who else goes to a shop to buy waffle or something like that at 8pm?

We took a seat at the other side of the store and started talking as the boys did.

"What was the idea you had?" I question Sasha.

"I had out a plan in my head. To stop that gang we have to make sure the police will find out about them, without someone saying it. Because if we do, we get in really trouble. They'll question us how we'd know about them or do research about us blahblahblah." She begins.

"You told me about your dad and that he you know what he did. Uhm" she says getting unsure now and playing with her fingers every once in a while. "If he really is part of the gang we can tell the police about what he did to you. The police will go after him and do research about him and go after him. They'll find out about the gang because of him and they'll all end up punished and no one in their gang," she says pointing at Zayn and Harry who were laughing their asses off at something. "Will get hurt." She finishes.

"I didn't wanted to tell Harry or anyone else about it, because you know it is kind of private and it would be so bad of me to tell a secret of yours what is yours to tell, not mine. So do you think it is a good plan or?"

"It's a good plan." I assure her.

"Please don't tell anyone." My mother's voice rang through my ears.

"But no, we can't. I just can't." I say shielding my face with my hands.

"What's wrong. Can you at least tell me why not?" She says rubbing her hand up and down my shoulder.

I stayed silent for a while and she comforted me. I didn't cry, I shouldn't. I am a big girl now like my mom used to tell me that day when I was only seven.

I've been through a lot in my life, a lot. People didn't notice any of them and just saw me at school once in a while. I was just that normal girl in school or the poor girl at the mall singing to a lot of people. But I am a brave girl after all I got abused for years, I saw my mother die in front of my eyes and I have been bullied whenever some bully noticed me at school. Which was every once in a while. I got hurt. But now? Now I can safe maybe a life. Cj got hurt badly just the other day and soon they will do more things like that and I? I can stop that.

"O- okay. Let's do it." I say stubborn.

QUESTION: what will happen if Lauren's dad finds out about her plan against him? He is her only relative left.

You know how he is? If someone pisses him off he can kill or abuse her again and find her maybe? what do you think? ;)
