The two of them set to work until the room was clean, when it was they removed the sign. Emily sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. She sat there flipping channels while Jo wrote something that looked like a letter while mumbling something a boy she likes. the next few hours were the same, sitting around doing nothing until Jo stood and walked to the door with the letter in her pocket. She was about to open the door when Emily asked "Where do you think your going?" Jo froze and hesitantly said "I was gonna go get some food."
"With what money?"
"Uhh who says I'm gonna pay?"
Emily rolled her eyes and went back to watching TV. Jo walked down the hall to the elevator and pressed the 6th floor button. She stepped off and turned to follow the signs to room 6070. She knocked on the door and stood there for a minute until the door opened. In the door way stood a young man about Jo's age. he had short blond hair and sea blue eyes. He wore blue denim jeans and the red employee shirt. Jo smiled and said "Hi Zack." Zack smiled and invited her into his apartment. Jo sat down on the couch and asked "Zack can you help me with something?" Zack grabbed a soda sat down next to her and said "Depends on what you need." Jo looked out the window to the busy street below and said "I need to find my cousin."
"Why?"
"Because she can help me do something."
"What aren't you telling me?" Jo sighed and said "James came after us again. We need to move. Zack if we can find her she can help us."
"How?"
"She can protect us."
"What if she won't?"
Jo paused to think then said "Then we'll move to another big city." Zack put a hand on Jo's shoulder and said "You can't keep living like this."
"That's why I need your help."
Zack nodded and promised he'd help but for the time he needed to get to work.
TA DA!!!!! I have only one other thing. It's kinda like a part two of Kiri's Story. It's a part that is a long way from the current story.
As 17 year old Blayk lay peacefully in his hammock on his sister's screened in porch he watched the sun set until he was startled by a girl screaming. He quickly got up from his hammock and ran in the direction of the scream. When he found a girl about 9 years old unconscious he quickly checked her pulse and breathing. After he knew she was alive he picked her up and carried her back to his house. Knowing his sister was still at work when he got to his house he set the girl down on the couch and called his sister after tending to the girls major wounds. When he didn't get an answer he left a message saying "Hey Brittney call me back as soon as you can...this is urgent." once he hung up he went to the girl and bandaged the smaller wounds. As soon as he was done the phone started ringing, he quickly got up and answered it saying "Hello this is Blayk."His sister answered quickly "I know who you are what's so urgent you interrupted my work?" Blayk was surprised by his sister talking like she was mad since she normally hated her job that he only managed to stammer "Y-you need to come home NOW." Brittney who was getting more frustrated said "Why?" Blayk again was to overcome to say more than "Just do it." As mad as Brittney was she said quickly "Fine" Then hung up the phone before telling her boss she had to leave early. While Blayk waited for his sister to come home he decided to fix a bowl of soup in case the girl was hungry when she woke up. When Brittney got to the house she came in and started to say "Now explain why I left work early." but stopped mid-sentience when she saw the girl and gasped quickly before asking "Where did you- how did you find her?" Blayk answered with "To answer the first question in the forest. To answer the second one i heard her scream to where i found her. She was probably attacked by a wolf or bear." Brittney sat down on the love seat that ran perpendicular to the couch where Blayk had layed the girl and across from the seat Blayk was in Asking "Will you go back to where you found her to figure it out?" Blayk replied simply "I will if you'll let me." Brittney nodded yes then asked quietly "What are we going to do with her?" Blayk shrugged as he walked over to the kitchen and fixed some ice water in a to go mug. Right before Blayk walked out the door he asked "You gonna be OK here alone Brit?" Brittney nodded before watching Blayk walk out the door. As Blayk walked in the woods he heard a wolf howl in the distance but didn't think much of it. When he got to where he found the girl he started looking for evidence of what hurt the girl. Mean while Brittney stayed at the house and watched the girl. While Blayk was gone Brittney saw the girl open her eyes and quickly went over to her and said softly "Hey are you OK?" the girl answered "Yea i think so." then sat up slowly and asked "Who are you?" Brittney answered "My name is Brittney. What's your name?" the girl answered "I-i-i don't know i hit my head then woke up here." Brittney said quietly to her self "Then you don't know if you have parents." the girl surprised Brittney by asking "Am i going to live with you now?" Brittney answered " You will if we don't find you parents." The girl seemed satisfied until she asked "Do you live alone?" Brittney replied saying "No i live here with my brother." the girl asked "Where are your parents?" Brittney sighed then said "Me and my brother's parents are dead." the girl gasped then said "So you know how i feel?" Brittney sighed before saying "Not quiet i was older than you when my parents died, you don't know for sure that they are dead and you lost your memory i didn't." the girl then said "You have a point." After a few minutes of silence Brittney asked "Are you hungry?" the girl replied quietly "A little." Brittney got up and walked over to the fridge and opened it seeing a bowl of soup she figured Blayk made it for the girl so she grabbed it and heated it up. While she waited she asked the girl "Have you remembered any thing?" the girl said "Yes two things the first is that i have no parents or anyone to take care of me two my name is Kiri." As Brittney pulled the bowl out of the microwave and set it in front of Kiri she said "I'm sorry to hear bout your parents." Kiri started to say "It's OK" when Blayk came in the back door and saw Kiri upright eating the soup and said as he set down his things. Once he washed up a little he came back in to the living room and sat down where he had been before he left when Kiri asked "Are you Brittney's brother?" Blayk laughed quietly before saying "Yes Brittney is my sister. Did she tell you my name?" Kiri thought about the question for a moment while she took a bite of her soup "No she didn't. What is your name?" Blayk replied in a playful tone "You didn't tell her my name? Your such a bad girl Brit. My name is Blayk." Kiri replied politely "Nice to meet you." when Blayk heard this he mumbled to himself surprised "Well she hasn't lost any manners." After Kiri finished her soup Brittney took it and put it in the dish washer then returned to her seat. After about 5 minutes of silence Kiri asked "Are there any kids my age that live near here?" Brittney replied "Yes but it's getting late and you need to go to bed." Brittney got up and told Kiri to come with her since she has some of her old pjs from when she was young. When Brittney came back into the living room and sat down before asking "What are we going to do with her? I mean i can barely support us and to add her then it would just put us all on the street and i couldn't let that happen to her again." Blayk looked up into his sister's eyes and said "Your forgetting that i can get a job if you would let me." Brittney started to say something then stoped herself as she thought about it. While she sat there thinking Blayk added to his point with "We need it as bad is this city is with all the gangs, mobs and every thing else we need it you and Kiri need it...I'm the only male in this house i should be doing what you are but you protect me to much." Brittney knew her brother had a point so after a minute she said "You can start with a part time job." as she got up and went to get ready for bed. Blayk sat there for a moment before going to bed himself. The next morning Kiri was up with the sun so she went to the screened in porch to lay on Blayk's hammock to wait for someone to wake up. When Blayk got up he started his day same as normal (meaning getting dressed and eating) after he finished eating he went out to the porch where Kiri was laying and asked "Did you sleep well?" Kiri looked at Blayk though the corner of her eye and said "Yes I slept well. What about you?" Blayk returned her look and answered "I slept as fine as possible." Kiri looked back out to the beach and asked "Blayk am I going to have to go to school?" Blayk laughed then said "Yea you gotta go to school Monday to Friday." Kiri knew today was Saturday so she asked "What do we do tomorrow?" Blayk looked away from her into the distance and replied "It's different every week." Kiri seemed fine with what she knew so she said nothing until Brittney came out onto the porch and told Kiri to come get dressed for the day in more of Brittney's old clothes. Brittney came back out side and sat down on the edge of the hammock. There was a moment of silence before Brittney asked "Where are you going to look for a job?" Blayk turned his chair to face his sister and replied "I was going to look at maybe a restaurant or small shop." Brittney sighed then asked "A shop?" Blayk said "Only if i have to." Brittney got up and started heading in but stoped and looked at Blayk with a look saying be careful. Blayk said "Of course" knowing his sister was worried. Blayk sat there alone for a moment before standing up and going to the front yard to get the news paper and begin his job search. Kiri came back to the kitchen and asked "Where's the food?" Blayk set the paper down and walked over to her and asked "Depends do you want eggs or fruit loops?" Kiri thought about it for a moment then said "Eggs please." Blayk walked to the fridge, pulled out the eggs and started cooking them in a small skillet. He turned around to face Kiri again and asked "Do you want cheese or salt in your eggs?" Kiri shook her head no then sat down at the table. Blayk set the eggs down in front of Kiri and gave her a fork then sat down in his seat, picked up the paper and continued his job search. After a few minutes Brittney came into the kitchen and fixed herself some breakfast then sat down next to Blayk and asked "Seeing anything worth trying?" Blayk replied "There's a bookstore but that's it so far." Brittney sighed slightly as she took a bite of her food. When Brittney and Kiri finished eating Brittney put the dished in the dish washer and said "Kiri would you like to meet the little girl next door?" Kiri nodded yes excitedly. Blayk smiled behind the paper where Kiri couldn't see making Brittney smile herself. Brittney got herself and Kiri dressed and took her to the neighbor's house. The next few days went by as Blyak got a job at a bookstore. After a week Brittney walked up to Blyak sitting on his hammock and said "It's been a week and she still doesn't know who her parents were or what happened. What are we gonna do?" Blayk looked her in the eye and replied "I think you know what I'm gonna say." Brittney sighed and said "Unfortunately I do. But we don't have the money."
"Do we have a choice? You know we can't keep up like this."
"Yes I know but all the paper work and it costs so much."
"Yes I know but all the paper work and it costs so much."
"That's why I convinced you to get me get a job."
"I know but still the paper work."
Blayk rolled his eyes at his sister and said "Of course it all comes down to the paper work. Because Kiri isn't important enough to go through with paper work."
Brittney glared at him and said "I didn't mean it like that goofball."
Blyak laughed slightly and asked "So what are we gonna do?"
Brittney looked her brother in the eye and said "I don't see what choice we have. We'll have to adopt her."
They stood up together and went in to talk to Kiri about it. She said yes to the idea without a second thought so the three of them went to the local social worker and explained everything and went through with the paper work. Two years later their life is the best ever. Kiri remembered everything about her past except for her parents. Kiri is now in 5th grade and has been reunited with her former best friend Jessica and her brother Mark. Blayk is now the manager of the bookstore and Brittney found the best job she could want.
