Silent Symphony//Jack Avery Fanfiction

Chapter 13

The decison didn't come as easily this time, but I did end up making one.

The boys and I pack light, Daniel bringing along his accoustic for the day-trip so that the boys can record a mashup video for instagram.

Jack and I pack a change of presentable and respectful dark coloured clothing.

We board the FBI's private jet at exactly four in the morning.

I think just about everyone slept for the majority of the morning flight. Even I did. The last hour and a half, the boys decided to work on the mashup.

While they practice, I stare out at the sky as it changes from being a navy to a baby blue as the sun raises.

I'm feeling all sorts of anxiousness. I'm going back to my home. People are going to recognize me and know me as who I was before.

I'm going to be burying the last of my parental figures, which I haven't seen in the last couple years. I said my goodbyes when I left, but they weren't supposed to be meant in this way.

And I'll be bringing my little sister back with me. Two years apart can change people drastically. Especially when you're young and the other person is even younger than that. Interests change, appearances change, and ultimately, the dynamic changes.

I don't talk all that much as we step off the plane and into the fridged Canadian air. It's snowing only lightly; an autumn flurry that will melt away in the next few days as the temperature fluxuates.

I let the boys off first, Jack trailing behind with me. We still have to go through the small airport security. They scan our things and let us through, into the large waiting area.

The tiny airport is empty except for the staff and two people waiting in a couple of the chairs.

The older woman nudges the little blond who'd fallen asleep in her side.

She glances over and then jolts awake, her crystal blue eyes landing on me.

"Sara!" She jumps up from her seat and plows into me, arms wrapping around me tightly.

She knocks the wind out of me and I let out a bit of a giggle, enveloping her in my arms. "Hey Nikki, I missed you."

She's very thin, but it's because she has a very high metabolism. She always did. She could eat anything and everything and still not gain a pound.

"Nikki, there's some people I'd like you to meet." She looks up at me as if she never even noticed that I was here with anyone else.

I nod behind me to the boys, who are waiting politely. "Nikki, these are my friends-"

"Oh my gosh! I know who they are!" She whispers-screems up into my ear in excitment. "That's Why Don't We!"

"Oookay..." I pat her back lightly, looking back at the guys. "Boys, this is my sister Dominique. Nikki... I guess you already know who they are."

"Can I give them a hug?" She whispers shyly, her face turning beat red.

I laugh. "Go for it."

She gives them each a hug and they hug her back sweetly.

"She doesn't look like you at all." Jack comments, taking my hand in his.

I smile back at him, watching as Nikki goes from Dan to Jonah to Corbyn, saving Zach for last.

"I look nothing like the rest of my family. We used to joke that they found me in the barn one day with the foals and calves." I reply nostalgically.

Nikki turns back to me. "That's where you stayed the most of the time anyway."
