After 15 years...

Catherine

I can't believe I'm eighteen now. Mom celebrated my birthday,except...I wasn't really smiling sincerely. I was still thinking about my real moms.

When mom told me about Emily and Alison,I felt like I should see them. I keep convincing dad to send me there to their house but they never knew where the address is. Dad told me they moved out of their old house. So their new house is farther than here.

But I've got plans. I've been searching everywhere with a little help of my hacker friend,I search for their history in computer and every. Look for names,and I finally found them.

I got the address,I'm just uncertain how to address them. That's if I do meet them one day. But I need to see them. Their my parents. Everyone's asleep,I snuck out of my room secretly and hopefully quiet.

Idris,my little baby brother,easily gets disturbed by a creak of the floor. I'm wearing socks and think that it would work if I walk like a feather. "Cat? Where are you going? Why are you bringing a back pack?" I stop my knee from lifting,then I turn around and see that my other sibling,older than Idris,Cara. "Cara I need you to be quiet about this okay? Don't tell mommy I'm leaving."

"I thought you're supposed to be at your school?" She rubs her tired eyes,and I bend down to look at her face to face."I know,but I'm just here to grab my stuff to go...somewhere. I just need you to stay quiet if they ask where I went. Okay?" I tell her sweetly,and she hugs the stuffed tiger tighter. She seems unsure to trust even herself. "If you be  good little sister,I'll give you all my candies for Halloween. Okay?" I whisper to her.

"Promise?"
"I promise." I give a pinky swear to her and she grins happily with her teeth that's some are missing,but still looks adorable for a six year old. "I have to go. See you soon okay?" I give her a kiss on her head. I stand up and lead her to her bedroom,and tuck her on her bed.

When I walk back out of the room,I close the door as softly as I could. But I stopped when I caught dad looking at me. Or...dad caught me.

"Need a ride,Catherine?" He asks whispering,and I know by his tone I'm totally busted. I sigh in surrender. I lift my hands up,and swear that he got me. "Fine. I'll just go back to my apartment I just came here to get my stuff anyways-"

"Shh. Come on. Do you need a ride or what?" He shushes me,but I furrow my eyebrows and blink confused. "I'm-I'm sorry I'm quite adrift dad-"

"No more questions. We gotta hurry before your mom wakes up. Come on." I'm still not trusting him. Am I hearing the right thing or is it just my mind messing with me? "Come on,Cat. Don't you wanna meet them?"

"I was gonna say why are you doing this but okay." I take his hand and we walk together downstairs,quickly to the garage and got in the car. Dad starts the ignition and makes a loud noise,and we left as soon as mom arrived at the garage. I hid myself by sliding down so mom won't see me,then quickly went to the address. "You have to take a bus to go there. It's a far journey. Have you brought anything? Food? Money?"

"Dad,I'm eighteen. I know what to bring."
"Good. I just wanna make sure you're prepared." He says and winks to me."Dad this is not a war! I'm not gonna fight for my kingdom." I say and we both laugh,god I'm gonna miss him. I don't know how I'll end up seeing them.

I just hope they won't hate me. I really want to see their faces,and learn about them. I know there's a reason why they left me to another family,but I don't care whatever the reason is. All I want is to meet them."Are ready to meet them?"

"I'm quite nervous though." I say,clenching my hands. "Don't worry. It'll turn out to be okay. It'll be fine." I nod understanding by his confidence,but sigh quietly.  Lots really dark,and it's like there's no one in the road but us.
