Lucas and Haley James have a beautiful house. It sits high on a hill in Rhode Island. It has a white picket fence with trees and flowers all around.
Now, Lucas and Haley James had a beautiful. It sat high on a hill in Rhode Island. It had a white picket fence with trees and flowers all around.
The house burnt down tonight, when Lucas and Haley were out for the night. Their parents got stuck upstairs and didn't make it out of the fire.
"Lucas." Haley said quietly. She hasn't cried, she knows she and Lucas have to be strong.
"What are we gonna do Hales?" Lucas asked her, sitting outside as they watched the policemen survey the house….or what's left of it.
"Haley? Lucas?" a lady said from behind them, they turned around "I'm Maria, from Family Services."
"Hi." They said quietly.
"I'm here to talk to you about your living arrangements." Maria said, pulling out papers from her briefcase.
"We're not leaving Rhode Island. We'll live in the guest house until we get the house re-done." Haley told her.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. You two are only 16." Maria said to them.
Lucas took a deep breath "Where are we gonna live then?"
"Well, you have no family, so in your parent's living will it stated that you will move in with your godparents." Maria said
"We've never met our godparents!" Haley yelled.
"I know. They live in North Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Scott. They have twins too. Your age." Maria said, before turning and walking away.
The second she left, Lucas and Haley glanced over and saw the emergency trucks with the stretchers, the bodies underneath them covered up, they started to pull away.
"Mom! Dad!" Haley cried, running towards the emergency trucks. Lucas jumped up and put his arms around his sister tight, she kept trying to get away, but he held her, crying into her back. She slowly lowered herself to the grass, Lucas' hands still around her. They sat on the grass for what seemed like hours. She cried into her brother's chest and he cried too.
