I believe that life is chaotic, a jumble of accidents, ambitions, misconceptions, bold intentions, lazy happenstances, and unintended consequences, yet I also believe that there are connections that illuminate our world, revealing its endless mystery and wonder.

Scarlet POV-

Louis kept his word and called Mikaylah and Sarah telling them the new plan.

They are at Purdey now, and have been there for a day. Louis and I are on the way to talk to my parents. They are in Orlando. They will be there for 2 weeks. But we don't have the money for airfare, so we are going to drive. I don't mind, more time alone together.

"Hey Scarlet. You might want to pack more clothes. I will drop you by your house. Grab some clothes for a fancy occasion." Louis smirks.

"Hmm really?" I smile back.

We pull up to my house and I get out.

When I enter my house, its so empty. It scares me looking at my house like this.

I walk up to my room, and decide to change.

I grab a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a army green sweater. I get my white vans and apply mascara because, I look naked.

I grab more sweaters and jeans, a few leggings and more shoes. Grab shampoo, and conditioner, along with other haircare.

I zip up my bag, and exit my house.

"So, how long do you think it will take to get to Orlando." I ask.

"Well, 4 days max. If we find the right roads, 2 1/2 days." He answers, starting the car.

Well here we are. Starting a road trip to interrogate my parents about a mad man out to kill me because my parents killed people for the mafia to get rich.

When I word it that way, it sounds like a action movie. I should write a book. Maybe I could become famous.

Anyways, its 5 am. I decode to stay awake to keep Louis company.

"Let's play a game." I say.

"What game?" Louis asks.

"20 questions." I answer.

For the next 2 hours we play 20 questions. It was fun and amazing. He has an idea that we stop and grab some food. But we need to keep going, we need to hurry and get to my parents.

I decide to take a nap instead, it will pass time then I will help drive and he can nap.

I would prefer doing cute tourist things, but there isn't time for that now.

The car ride was very long. When I woke up, Louis and I swapped, I drive and he slept.

We did that on and off until we were about an hour away.

I started to get really nervous and Louis could tell.

"It will be okay love, they can help us. Everything will end well." he reassured. I think he didn't just say that for me either. I think he was convincing himself as well.

"I know, but this is all so nerve wracking." I reply.

We small talk for the remainder of the ride and pull up to my parents conference building.

We walk in, and get greeted by a few friendly faces.

"Hey, I am Looking for Mr. And Mrs. Murphy." Louis asks the receptionist.

"Oh, okay, may I ask who you are and why you want to speak to them at this time?" she quizzes.

"Well, they are my parents, and We had some big news." I said, patting my belly suggesting I was pregnant.

"Oh lovely! I will call them and say they have special visitors." she winks.

Louis gave me a funny look and rubbed the top of my hand with his thumb.

"Okay, they should be expecting you! Good luck!" the receptionist said.

We walk up to the elevator to their room and knocked.

I am greeted by my mother who gives me a odd look.

"Mom, We need to talk. Dad too." I scowl.

"Sure honey, why are you here?" she asks.

"Mom, its my turn to ask the questions." I snap.

I sit my mother and father down and Louis and I are standing looking down at them.

"Mom, Dad. When you guys got out of high school, how did you get to where you are now?" I ask.

The both exchange glances and respond, "Its just pure luck honey." my dad said.

"Stop lying!" I yell, "I know about the Mafia! I know about you guys killing innocent people! I know everything! I need to know who you killed. All of them."

They both were taken by surprise, along with Louis, who is literally staring at the ground wide eyed.

"No more bull shit. Just honesty." I add.

"I knew this would happen, karma is a bitch. Hunny Bunny, go get the binder." my dad called.

My mom stood up, and retrieved a spiral, with the families that had family members killed.

"I know you must be so disappointed. We are so sorry baby. We couldn't tell you." my mom said.

I grab the spiral and left. Not saying a word to my parents.

I get into the car and wait for Louis.

"Let's get food." I grunt.

He nods, and I drive to the nearest Denny's.

We get seated, and I open the spiral, skimming, looking for maybe a male or all family killed when I come across something that catches my eye.

"Found him." I muttered.

There. A man in his 40's, All family killed, history of violence, ancestors invented Purdey Penitentiary.

Louis reads, and says " It has to be. I have to call Zayn. "

Louis calls Zayn and will get him when Louis and I are back in Cali.

It will all finally be over.

A/N-
