SANDRA'S POV*****
I got in the car knowing these two were going to drench it but it wasn't the time to think about the seats.
"Have you guys opened the notebook yet." They both shook their heads.
"I would but, my wet fingers would tear the pages easily." Kara said. I felt around the side of my door until I found what I was looking for. A grey microfiber towel I used to dry the window of my car. I passed it back to Kara who quickly took it to dry her hands and open the notebook. "WHOA!"
"What did you find Kara?" Mae asked. I took a quick glance from the rear view mirror at her.
"Are we almost to Lauren's?" she asked.
"Yeah in about five minutes, Kara what did you find?" I asked. She took a gulp.
"It's better I show you ALL once we're together. I pushed on the gas a little harder and in no time we were at Lauren's. Christen's car was still there but not in the same place it was when we left. I rang the door bell and Chris opened it. Lauren was sitting on the couch and looked up at us. A smile ran across her face when her eyes landed on Kara and Mae.
"What the hell happened to you two?" she laughed.
"Mae made us jump from Kalie's roof into the neighbors pool." Kara said with a straight face. We all stared at them.
"That's....well this plan was a lot crazier than it seemed." Christen stated. We nodded in union.
"There's towels in the bathroom," Lauren said pointing to the hallway behind her. Christen turned to me.
"Did you guys find anything?"
"Kara seemed to have found something big but wouldn't say until we were all together." She nodded at me. "Did you two figure out what to do with her yet," I asked pointing at the carrier. Chris shook her head.
"No one has reported her missing and Lauren thinks we'd all be severely questioned by police if we called, the last thing we need is the police on us or you two." Lauren walked over with hands on her face looking at the carrier.
"I don't get it, who could have the guts to leave her there all by herself." I took her hand.
"Babe, sometimes it gets stressful for people and-"
"SANDRA SHE'S A BABY! YOU CAN'T JUST THROW BABIES AWAY. IF THEY'RE TOO STRESSFUL JUST DON'T HAVE ONE!" I felt my body jump when she raised her voice. She's never raised her voice at me before but I understand why. We heard a stir from the carrier before a little cry came out. I let go of Lauren's hand and walked over to pick her up. Slowly I bounced her up and down hoping she'd fall asleep again. Kara and Mae came back.
"We heard screaming, is everything ok?" Mae asked cautiously. I looked at Lauren then at her and nodded my head.
"Yeah, let's just see what Kara found," I said slowly. We all gathered around the table and looked at Kara expectantly.
"Ok so, I was reading through it and at first it was normal. She talked about moving and starting a new job but then it started getting to only talking mainly about you," she said looking at me. " A few more pages after she just starts writing about how it seems you spend lots of time with Lauren, and she remembers when you spent that much time with her, she's jealous Sandra."
"I wouldn't doubt that," I said pushing my hair back with my free hand. By now the baby had fallen back asleep on my chest, I caressed her face softly and kissed the top of her head. "What else does it say,what does she know?"
"Mainly she only has theories, but she did say something that concerned me," I raised a brow as a sign of telling her to go on. She set the book on her lap and read aloud from it. "Seeing Sandra recently just made me realize I still love her, the fact we ended up in the same place shows we belong together. I want her back, I won't let anything get between us this time not even Lauren. Although I haven't confirmed that I plant to and then I'll figure out how to get Sandra back to me." I took the book from her lap and re-read it, the entry was dated two weeks ago.
"This is why she told me at school she wanted to get back together." I said staring at the book. When I looked up I could see Lauren get visibly uncomfortable,the baby stirred in my arms and I decided to take he upstairs. I left without another word and as I finished putting the last pillow around the baby I heard a small knock. It was Lauren leaning against the door frame.
"Hey," she said softly. I sat on the bed and sighed.
"Hey," I responded. She walked in and sat next to me taking my hand in hers.
"I'm sorry I raised my voice at you earlier, I just- I'm a little spun here," she said looking at the baby. I squeezed her hand.
"It's ok I understand, and all this Kalie stuff, im sorry I just dumped it all on you."
"No, no I get it we both have a past we put behind." I began to nod but stopped.
"You've met my past, why not tell me a bit about yours." She smiled at me.
"I will, just not today we have problems on our hands right now."
"I'll hold you to it," I said getting up to go back downstairs. Lauren followed me and we took a spot on the couch again. Mae looked up.
"Good you're back, I was wondering what we're going to do with that baby?" Christen cleared her throat.
"It's dangerous but we have to tell the police." She was right, we did have to go to the cops.
"What's the worse than could possibly happen guys?"Mae asked sitting back on the opposite couch" I looked at her.
"They question all of us find it suspicious why high school girls are with adults one from school. Look into us find out things we don't want like about Lauren and I hitting the hay together. They arrest her and she stays in jail for a long time and I end up killing you for jinxing us." Lauren makes a face and laughs.
"You know what we're not going," she says with a sarcastic smile.
"Kara,Mae I need you to tell us exactly how you two stumbled across her." Chris said.They looked at each other and nodded.
"Well basically we woke up the morning after the sleepover and decided we were hungry. We took Sandra's key's and drove down town for food and coffee. Parking was tight at Lorenzo's, you know like always. Anyways we parked down the street and walked the rest of the way when we passed by the alley way near Blake's Cream and heard a kind of cry." Kara spoke next.
"At first we thought it was a cat but when we decided to get a little closer we realized it was actually a baby. The carrier was besides the trash can and we didn't know what to do but grab it and bring it back. We couldn't leave her there alone." The room was silent for a bit when Christen spoke.
"Tell the story the exact same way to the cops except,say you found her an hour ago," the girls nodded and looked at us. I grabbed the carrier and took it upstairs to get the baby. Not much time later we were at the police station. We all sat quietly inside the car,none of us wanting to get out. I sighed before grabbing the carrier from the backseat.
