"Lauren? Lauren can we please go to the candy store?" My little sister begged.
"Sure,Sarah. Lemme change real quick."
I ran upstairs and grabbed some cut off shorts and a crop top.
"Lauren. Cmon!"
"Okay Sarah."
I picked up the small child. I was 17 and I have to raise a 5 year old by myself. My god-awful parents were killed a year ago in an accident.
As much as you think i'm heartless,i'm glad those son of a bitches died.
"Lauren! Look at that dress!"
I glanced into the shop's window,looking at the cute litte dress.
"It's pretty,eh?"
"Yup!"
I laughed and held her hand as she skipped down the sidewalk.
"We're here! We're here!" She squealed.
"Okay. Get a bag and start filling it up with candy. I'll get my bag too."
She nodded and grabbed a hot pink bag.
Oh god. I had to teach this child that orange is the color to roll.
"Sarah. C'mon lets go. Before I eat the whole store."
Silence.
Silence.
"S-Sarah!"
No answer.
"Sarah!"
Where is she?
"Excuse me ma'am,have you seen a little girl. She came in with me."
"Oh sure! She left with her father moments ago. He was a tall lad. About 6'3,maybe?"
"I'm her sister. Our parents died last year." I choked.
Someone kidnapped Sarah.
I took off out the candy store and began crying. I looked at the clouds that were letting snow fall.
"Please God. I know i've messed up. I know i've been a bad child. But please,where is Sarah? She's all I have left."
I sent my prayer us silently and began to rise off the ground.
"Lauren?" I heard a weak voice squeak.
I turned around and saw Sarah,standing there,ripped clothes and fresh cuts and bruises.
"Sarah!"
I grabbed my little sister and hugged her.
"What happened?"
"This man. I asked if he could help me get some gummy worms and he grabbed me and we went out a door. Then he ripped my clothes and took my mine off and whatever he did hurt,sissy."
I growled in anger.
Who would do this to a sweet innocent little girl?!
--------------------------
I began to wash the dried blood on my sisters body.
"Ow!"
"Sorry,love."
She stood up and I attacked her with a towel,rapping it around her and lifting her up. Instantly she gave me a fit of giggles.
"Put me down! I'm hungry!"
"Okay. Okay. Grilled cheese?"
She nodded excitedly. I laughed and turned on Spongebob while I got our ingredients out.
"Make mine with love!"
"I always make it with love!"
She smiled and turned back to Spongebob.
Just think;hours ago she was raped,and now shes back to her cheeky litte self.
"Lauren." My roommate,Brookelyn (also known as Brooke or Brookie) called through the door. Her arms had thousands of bags on her arms.
"Brookie!" Sarah screamed.
"SarahBear!"
"Hey Lau,I forgot to tell you. This is my cousin,Harry Styles and his bandmates."
"Hi Harry."
"You think she knows who we are?" The Irish lad snickered.
"I bet you 5 pounds she doesn't." The black headed boy chuckled.
"I bet you 10 pounds if you don't shut the hell up I will slap those smirks off your prettyboy little faces. Okay?" I growled.
"Lauren! There is a child in this room!"
"Sorry Brookie."
"Are you making grilled cheeses?" The Irish boy asked with begging eyes.
"I am. But you aren't getting any."
"NO FAIR."
"Lifes not fair,babes."
