Missing pieces

7

As pov
We were all joking around when we walked out the doors of the airport
" Miss. Elderson "
" yes "
" come with us "
They walked over and handcuffed me then brought me to the cop car and drove off.

" miss ... miss ... hello "
I snapped back to reality
" sorry what "
" I said were you kidnaped "
" no "
" then why were you in California "
" I need a vacation "
I sat up in my chair
" You do understand that since you are under 18 you are a word of the state now "
" aren't you supposed to see if I have any extended family first "
The guy gave me a look then said
" fine you can go and we'll look into it "
" thank you "
I got out and when I got to the waiting room where they were
" ready "
I said and they all gave me a hug.
When we were driving through town it was so strange because I didn't recognize half of it. He pulled into my driveway and I went up to the door and I started to shake. My hand finally met the handle and I unlocked and pushed the door open and it was like opening a flood gate every single memory that I haven't given back about what happened in the house came back.

After a couple of days, I was settled back in and I got a call
" Miss.Elderson "
" yes "
" We have found a relative of yours "
" ok "
" We need to contact them and see if they'll take you "
" ok thank you "
I hung up and I could hear someone cry downstairs so I slowly went down
" Daniel what is it "
" it failed the branch here failed somehow and now we have to move back "
I walked over and pulled him into a hug
" it's going to be ok "

Luke's pov
I woke up and my mom's phone was ringing
" hello "
" hello is this Mrs. Sanders "
" This is her son "
" Luke I'm assuming "
" yes "
" ok well due to recent events one of your relatives is now an orphan and we were wondering if you could possibly take her in "
" if we don't "
" she'll become a ward of the state "
" what's her name "
" Elderson A Elderson "
I could speak
" Hello ... sure "
" yes umm yes we will take her in "
" ok we'll call you with more information "
" ok t-thank you "
They hung and my arm fell do my side with the phone still in it and then Jonah came in
" Hey you ready what's wrong "
" nothing "
I was trying to fight back the tears
" what is it "
" it's um A "
" no "
" she's Ummm a distant relative of mine "
" what "
A single tear ran down my face
" we're going to take her in because you know she's 17 and if we don't take her in she'd become a ward of the state "
Neither one of us could speak then my mom cam down
" hey sorry I was in the bathroom who called "
We both looked at her with red eyes and mouths slightly opened
" what "
Finally, I said
" As a distant relative and umm I said we'd take her in "
Suddenly a smile started to grow on her face and she hugged us.
