"Liam," Her tiny fourteen year old voice shakes.
"Skittles, what's wrong?"
"I have bad news, please don't be mad at me." She start sobbing.
"Don't cry, I won't be mad at you."
"I have a new foster home, a family that wants to keep me permanently."
"Skittles! That's great news! I'm so happy for you." His voice booms with happiness.
"Liam... It's in America..."
The line goes dead. That was the last time she ever talked to her best friend. Liam Payne was his name. Her and Liam did everything together. But this was before he was famous and before she became American. This was before Sarah took her in and before she fell into depression and sadness because the one person she knew since she was three, lost contact with her .. On purpose. The one person that never gave up on her, like a handful of adults did. He left her, all because she was moving away.
"Alexis and Ashleigh, come here!" Sarah voices boomed, from downstairs.
I shut the my laptop,that's covered in cartoon food stickers, and place it on my desk. I unlock my door and walk down the stairs, unprepared for why she's mad this time. Alexis comes from the kitchen, using her mouth to hold a sandwich as she puts her hair in a ponytail. I lip to her, "What's she on about today?" She shrugs and takes the sandwich out her hand. Sarah comes out the bathroom with a grin on her face. We watch her pull out a white envelope from her back pocket. She hands it to Alexis.
"Are you sending us away?" Alexis says, half joking.
Sarah laughs, "Just open it."
Alexis takes her time opening the envelope, as soon as she does, her eyes focus on the three small paper's in her hand. She starts to open her mouth, and she screams. She drops the sandwich. Tears roll down her face and she jumps up and down.
"Mom! Are these real!" she screams.
"Sure are, baby doll." Sarah smiles.
"What are they?" I ask.
Alexis hands me over the papers, her hands shaking wildly. I look at the papers. "ONE DIRECTION. ON THE ROAD AGAIN TOUR, AUG 8 2015. 9:00PM. FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA. SEC 1, SEAT 1, ROW 1." I feel my heart speed up and my eyes are wilden. Sarah laughs before pulling out three necklaces, "OTRA MEET AND GREET," Alexis starts bawling her eyes out, she's seeing her favorite band, I'm seeing my old best friend.
