Returning... sequel to Meant to be Luke Hemmings, 5SOS fan fiction

31

"What am I going to do?" I ask in a whisper to myself. We are all still sitting in the sand while the kids play at the play set about 80 feet away from us.

"What do you WANT to do?" Luke asks rubbing my back comfortingly.

"I can't let him go through all that. He's only 11 years old." I can't believe I never knew I had a brother. I mean I was taken away almost 11 years ago. That means my mother was pregnant when she was out drinking and doing drugs. God I hate that woman

"Then let's go. Let's go to Sydney and get your brother." Luke says positively. I shake my head.

"It's not that easy Luke. Mom called CPS and is trying to get him to stay with her, but since he doesn't know her, it's hard." Ashton explains. He called mom after Louis told him about my brother. She called child protective services and they took my parents into custody but still have my brother with no home. She is trying so hard to let him stay with her until I can get there. What's even going to happen when I get there? I don't know, but I do know that I have to get there fast. We sat for a while before all deciding to go home. Ashton came home with Luke, Mel and I and helped me look for flights. Cole said he would watch Mel and she was fine with that. Luke, Ashton, and Louis are all coming to Sydney with me. Michael and Calum wanted to go to visit their family but I said we could another time because I didn't want to overwhelm my brother, who's name I still don't know. Louis also wanted to come because he felt like he had to since he was with me when I found out. We leave in three days. I sigh and put Mel to bed before joining the boys in the living room. Louis had also joined us now and we are waiting for news from my mom. It took a long time But eventually I got a text that made me immediately start crying.

Momma Irwin: I have him:)

That sentence alone made me cover my mouth and cry happy tears. I immediate dial her number.

"Hello" she answers.

"Is He Okay?"

"He is perfect sweetie. He's just scared and confused. He's playing with Harry now. But he keeps asking for his REAL sister." I smile at the thought of Harry who is now 15 playing with the little boy.

"I'll be there in three days mom. What's his name? C-can I talk to him?" I ask hopefully.

"His name is Brady. Of course." I smile as I hear rustling behind the phone and put it on speaker so everyone else could hear. My heart jumps when I hear a little voice.

"Hello?"

"Hi Brady. My names Skylar. I'm your sister." I say trying to hide my crying voice.

"Really? I never met my sister. But I saw her pictures."

"It's me buddy."

"Mommy And Daddy are mean."

"I know. But they aren't going to hurt you anymore."

"I'm scared here. I don't know these people." I feel my heart break. He's scared around strangers but talks to me like he has known me forever.

"Don't be scared buddy, they are really really nice. They helped me when I was young like you. Hey, I bet you are having fun with Harry right?"

"Yeah. He's fun. So is the lady. What's her name?" I smile.

"Well I call her mom, because she is like my mom. She loves me like a mom and I know she loves you and will take care of you until I get there."

"When can I see you?"

"I'm going to be there in a few days. But until then you are going to stay with Harry Okay? You will be taken care of there."

"Promise?" I sniff and wipe my tears.

"I promise. If you ever want to talk to me just call Okay?"

"Okay. I will. I want to FaceTime you tomorrow so I can see your face. Your pictures are really pretty." He says and I can hear the smile on his lips which makes me chuckle.

"Okay buddy, I'll talk to you tomorrow Okay?"

"Okay. Bye bye. I love you." I smile wider and cry harder.

"I love you too Brady. Sweet dreams." I hang up the phone and everyone smiles at me.

"He's okay." I cry and am pulled onto a hug.

"He's okay." Luke replies. He's okay.
