Last Goodbyes (I warn you, Niall is in it) :)

Chapter Eight

"Bye Claire" Niall smiled as he stepped out my door

"Bye Nialler" I giggled when he kissed me

I blushed as I shut the door

I decided to go into the kitchen for some food when my stomach made a low and extremely unattractive growl

I walked into my parent's murmurs and once they saw me, the murmurs turned into stares

My mom gave my dad a nod and he returned it

Were they sending some secret code around so I couldn't understand them?

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw the most beautiful thing ever

The fridge

"Food!" I thought to myself

"Claire, could we have a talk?" My dad asked as I started walk to the fridge

"Sure" I shrugged, trying not to show how annoyed I was that I had to walk away from food

I sat down with my mom and dad on the couch in the living room

"We have some news to tell you" My mom said as I stared at them

"Well, when I went off to the army, I didn't come back because I went to America to look for someone" My dad explained

"What do you mean? Who?" I asked

"Sweetie, do you remember anything before age three?" My

mom asked, totally skipping my question

I thought for a moment

To be honest, I don't. I know most kids remember bits and pieces of when they were much younger but I don't

In fact, I don't even remember much about being in kindergarten

"No not really, why mom?" I asked

"Well, when you were younger, I took you, dad, and Lucy on a plane to America-"

"Wait, mom. Who's Lucy?" I wondered

"Your twin sister" My dad added subtly

I have a sister? A twin sister?!

"What sister? In all my life, I've never seen any pictures of my sister" I said not convinced

How could I have a sister that I didn't know about?

"We burned them, not wanting to you to ever find out" My mom shook her head

"Okay, well what happened to her? Why isn't she here and why haven't I met her?" I mumbled looking down at the fabric of my shirt

"Well, on our flight, the plane crashed in Florida. We couldn't find your sister and you suffered a head injury. We took you home to get you treated better and we never heard about your sister again. You didn't remember a thing and had short term memory loss, so we decided to keep Lucy a secret" My mom sighed as she looked at my dad

I thought long and hard about this new information

I had a sister

I always wanted a sister when I was growing up

I was always lonely at home, until I met Niall though

I looked back up at my parents and opened my mouth

"Well what's the news?"

"We found her"
