New beginnings

Finding Maggie

It had been a week since Alex last saw Maggie and she had not stopped searching for her, she was all over the internet and books looking for places she could have gone to, she figured she was still in National City as there was only a few hours in between the time Maggie had left Alex's house and the time Alex had gone to Maggies.
She was worried sick about Maggie and she could not stop thinking about her, she missed her so much and she just wanted Maggie in her arms. She hadn't gone to school for the past week, she just couldn't, not knowing where Maggie was. Kara didn't go either, she stayed home and helped Alex look for her, she had been amazing. Her mum and dad had been great as well, they were doing everything they could to get Maggie back.

The first week was torture, Maggie HATED it, more than she hated her parents and that was saying something. It was just so sad, the fact that people actually thought they could change who we were, they thought they could change who we loved, it was sick. Maggie had grown close to Sophie, it was the only person she really talked to, it was the only girl she was really allowed to talk to. She missed Alex like crazy, she was hoping Alex was looking for her, she believed she was, all Maggie wanted to do was to run up into Alex's arms, she wanted to hug her and kiss her. Maggies sat on her bed, all she could feel was sadness. She had finished her chores for the day and had an hour break, Sophie went down to the kitchen to grab a snack and coffee for herself and Maggie. Not to long later Sophie came into the bedroom with two coffees and two muffins.

"Thank you" Maggie said excited, she was exhausted and almost falling asleep.
Sophie just nodded.

"How are you?" Sophie asked, she new this was tough for Maggie and she understood what it was like, after all she had been through it herself. Sophie was alone when she first came to this school and she hated it, she didn't want the same for Maggie.

"Uh-honestly, shit, but I'm getting through" Maggie said looking down "It just sucks, you know? I miss my girlfriend so much, and I just want to be with her" Maggie said holding back her tears.

"I get it-" Sophie stopped to think, like she was trying to bring back a memory "I still remember the first day I was sent here...A few weeks before I arrived here, my parents said I was moving schools, they said that there was a new job opportunity for them and that we had to move cities, I had no idea what they were actually planning on doing, they told me that I should break up with my girlfriend, they said that I would hardly see her and that it was not fair on her, I thought they were right, I listened to them, I broke up with her, she begged me not to, she said we could work it out but I didn't listen to her, god, I was so stupid.  When we were driving to 'the new city' it was silent in the car, the few weeks before we left my parents were talking to me fine, like nothing was wrong, but it was when I got into this room I realised they were TRYING to act normal when they really hated me, and they were tricking me so I didn't run away or something" Sophie was crying, Maggie new it was hard to re-live this memory, she couldn't help but cry with her.

"Forget about the past, okay?" Maggie wiped away her tears "We are going to get out of here and you can go back to your girlfriend".

"She has probably forgotten about me, she probably has a another girlfriend...or boyfriend".

"No, she hasn't, I can tell, from what you have said she still loves you, trust me".

Alex was still going through books trying to figure out some places, she called up all of the schools near by asking for a Maggie Sawyer but there was no luck.

She ran her finger down a page of the book looking for schools she hasn't called, there was one school on the page she hadn't called, a school that stood out to her. She read a small paragraph about the school.

"Straighten?" She whispered to herself "What does that mean?" She read more into the school, as she was reading she knew that Maggie was there, she had a strong feeling that she was.

"Mum, Kara!" Alex called, the two women came running into the room as soon as they heard their name.

"What's wrong?" Eliza asked.

"I think I know where Maggie is, and I need Kara...to use her powers, please, we will get there quicker" Alex begged for her permission.

"Anything for Maggie"

"Thank you, thank you.  Kara lets go".

"Where are we going?"

"To bring back my girlfriend".
