"You still haven't told me where we are headed yet!." I whined.
"The sooner you stop asking questions, the sooner you'll find out!." Daniel said to me calmly.
I'd been leaving with him for the past three years now. Since he took me from my home after my Mom left me. It's been three years now and she hasn't reached out to me, not even a phone call.
Daniel keeps saying she'll come back soon, soon, soon, soon, three years has gone by now and he was still lighting the torch of hope in my life.
There's only so much an eight year old can take in, I still haven't seen my Dad, I don't even know what he looks like and the most painful part was that he was still alive. Then my beloved mother... I don't even want to think about her right now.
Well Daniel right here, has been my senior and responsible brother for the past three years, he ha

~Lance POV~As we entered into the room, Nana was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, she was put on life support and an oxygen mask covered her nose and mouth.The only sound in the room was the gentle beeping of the life support monitor until Kara started to sob again.I didn't know exactly what to say to comfort her so I just held her close to my chest and place my chin over her head.Looking at Nana lay helplessly on the bed, brought horrid thoughts to my mind. Thoughts that brought tears to my eyes.I didn't even know I was crying till I felt something tickle my cheek and I sniffed. I did my best to get myself back together, I didn't want to add to Kara's problems.Luckily she didn't say anything, she just looked up at me and lowered her head back again.Little did she know...Was I crying because of Nana, not really but I was conc

Today was school, since we haven't been attending school for a while now, Lance and I had lots of catch up to do.We didn't even have enough time to be home schooled so we just took the time off, but we were ready to resume now.I woke up feeling bleak and gloomy, it wasn't the same waking up in an empty apartment... Without my Nana.I took my bath, put on my uniform, fixed myself a nice breakfast of cereals and milk.Lance was supposed to pick me up for school today and I'll be staying at his Manor until Nana recovers.I had packed my duffle bag and luggage. So that once he comes, I'd just dump them in his trunk, and after Drew drops us off, he'll take them to the manor.I'm going to miss this apartment and it's homey feeling, I can't wait for Nana to come back to me.I heard a car honked outside, as I looked out the window, I saw Lance's car, I

RECAP..."Anyways have you seen Master Lance, we have to get going!" He said to me ignoring my messy look."Well that's weird because Lance's is always out here before me!." I rocked on my heels causing more water to drip from my body."I know...""Ok I'll just leave my bag here, maybe he is in the archery range and lost track of time!."I flicked my wet hair and went dashing in the direction of the Archery range.END OF RECAP!.***On my way there I bumped into Sam in the hallway. The archery range was behind the school and the fastest way to get there was through the school building.Actually our school environment was kinda circular, so that the school's main building is in the middle of the entire surrounding, so lots of fun stuff

Drew exclaimed as he saw both of us.I cringed and faked a smile as I waved while I let Lance do the talking."It's okay Marcus...""Who is Marcus?." I whispered to him sharply because Lance sounded like he was drunk."He has about four names or so..." Lance told me.Typical Britain's they are always extra with the names."Like I said, we are fine, besides is this how you welcome someone who has been gone for days..." Lance said to him and he nodded calmly and let us in.Immediately we entered h

I greeted and returned her beaming smile."How's my little mellow doing?." Anna asked me as she took the seat by the side of my hospital bed.I watched as she gently placed the flowers she brought me on the top of the small drawer close to my hospital bed.It almost felt like my life was back to normal again, bringing back memories from 2005 before my Mom was taken away, it almost rendered me in tears but I got hold of myself just in time to resist them."I'm actually better but the doctor said I wouldn't be able to use my arm for a while.
