Lucas hasn't been eating lately, I can't really blame him though. Leo was more than a twin brother to him , Leo was his best friend to.

Lucas probably feels so alone, betrayed even. Leo is off with Alfie while his own brother is staying home upset. I mean it's obvious to the whole family how upset he is , I just think I'm the only one who knows why.

Pulling on my warm knit leggings and one of Liam's old grey jumpers. I might have raided his closet last night to find some cozy jumpers , so what? You can't blame a girl.

Lucas stirred from the spot where he was laying on my bed. Yes , he has been sleeping in my bed lately. I've been trying to be there for him when he needs me. His deep green eyes opened and immediately looked at me.

Just then I noticed the small bags under his eyes. Now I really felt sorry for him. His brother was even affecting his sleep. Walking over to my bed , I wrap my arms around him; pulling him into a tight yet awkward hug. I'm still getting used to the whole 'hugging people all the time' thing.

"Kenzie, can we go find Crays today?" Lucas whispered in a sleepy voice while pulling away from our awkward hug.

Pulling out my note pad from under my pillow I write.

I don't even know if he is still at St. Margot's Orphanage.

Lucas looked at the note , before ripping it out of my note pad and jumping off my bed and onto the ground. His eyes were dark as he glared at me and his frown was prominent on his lips.

Taken back by how he just acted towards me , I got out of my bed and tired to reach toward him. He moved back giving me one last look , before stomping out of Katie and I's room.

"Wow! He being dramatic today." Katie yawned while stretching her arms and walking towards me.

I looked at her in response as she sat in her bed and gave a small smile towards me before talking again.

"Lucas just really misses Crays , and i think you do to. You were both partners in getting us out right." Katie says thoughtfully and somewhat solemnly about thinking of her older brother.

Pulling out my notepad from my pocket i quickly write to her.

I'm sure you misd him to , he is your brother after all. However i dont know if he's still at the orphanage.

Katie looks at my note with sadness while playing with the tips of her fingers and pulling her knees to her chest.

"Could you at least go and see if he is?" She beggs while giving me the puppy dogs eyes i can't ever refuse.

Okay okay i will go see. I write on a note and hand it to her while watching her face brighten with excitement and joy.

Walking down stairs and into the living room i see Harry alseep on the couch with the telle on. He must have fallen asleep watching Titanic , again. That's really all he ever wants to watch. I sneak over to his sleeping body and pull the set of silver keys from his pocket. My face was full of excitement and approval of my skills at stealing objects , but then a hand quickly grabbed mine and pulled me towards the coach. Light green eyes locked with mine and a sly smirk formed on Harry's lips as he looked at me smugly.

"If you wanted me to take you on a date , all you had to do was ask." Harry teases me as he brings his face closer to mine and runs his hand through my hair.

I immediately drop the keys on the floor and back away from him with a slight blush forming on my cheeks. Turning my face away from him in embarrassment of being caught and his constant teasing. Harry walks towards me while laughing loudly at his extensive amusement of me. He gets closer to me and places at hand on my shoulder before forcing me to look at him in the eyes with my still visible blush.

"Im sorry for teasing you. Honestly where do you want to go? i will take you since you can't drive yet." Harry states while wrapping his arm around my shoulders and walking me towards the front foyer.

"Where are you taking Kenzie pervert!?" Lucas's voice rings in the room as he yells and runs over to me to a rushed manner.

I couldn't hold it in anymore as Lucas hugged my legs tightly and glared at harry with his deep green eyes locking with Harry's light ones. I laugh. The fact that Lucas was sassy enough to call Harry a pervert was hilarious and Harry's reaction was priceless. His jaw dropped and looked in amazement at the little boy holding onto my legs. However he was more amazed that i was laughing loudly.

"Well you little twat i was just asking your sister where she wanted to go." Harry stated while bending down to ruffle Lucas's brown messy hair.

I take out my notepad and write for Lucas and Harry to see.

I want to go to the Orphanage and find Crays.

Lucas jumps with joy and immediately asks if he can join while i nod my head yes and smile softly at his improved change in mood. While Harry comes closer to me and whispers in my ear.

"You should laugh more , it's cute." Harry whispers sweetly before Lucas pulls him away like the protective brother he is. I can't blame him , frist his twin brothergets taken away by Alfie , then Harry tries to tease me to death. Of course Lucas feels threatened.

The orphanage was filled with laughing and happy kids , however there was alot fewer kids than last time time when i was here. That's a good thing though , must mean a lot of kids are finding good home like Lucas , Leo , Katie and i did. I walked up the stairs and to the room i knew he was in last time i was here. Lucas held my hand the whole time and Harry followed close behind refusing to let us out of his sight.

Crays was sitting on his bed while telling the story of Peter Pan to a few excited and wonderlust kids who were sitting on the ground intently listening to every word that came from his mouth. Lucas jumped for joy and ran towards the bed while climbing up towards Crays and the other kids stared questionably at the boy they haven't seen before be so friendly with Crays.

"And then Petter Pan took a boy and a beautiful girl to the land where boys and girls never grow up." Crays said in a fairytale voice while picking up Lucas in his arms and jumping of the bed and runing over to me and grabing my hand.

Harry stood silently in the doorway watching the story playout as i played Wendy and Lucas played a lost boy with enjoyment.

The day went on and after spending a fun and entertaining dinner with Crays i pulled out my notepad and wrote to him.

Come with me again?

His eyes were surprised and questioning me with a smirk forming on his lips.

"Does Katie want to see me" he asks quietly while hoping for a yes to be said.

Yes. I write to him and watch as he jumps up and starts to run towards the front foyer of the orphanage all on his own.
