The Lost One

It had been five years since 17 year old Mellisa Danvers had been back home to Ipswich, and now here she was driving back into town in her 2007 red BMW series 3 convertible. She had just driven past the welcome to Ipswich sign, and all of the sudden she felt extremely nervous about this. The last time she had been home things had been very different then they were now, her father had been alive, her mother wasn't an alcoholic, and her and her brother Caleb and still been extremely close. But everything changed shortly before Caleb's thirteenth birthday her father had started to get ill and her mother had sent her away to California to attend Idyllwild Arts Academy.

She pulled out her cell phone and found Caleb's number and hit dial, and started ringing and she waited for a response

"Hello?"she had to suck in a breath in shock for hearing her brothers voice after so long, "hello?"he repeated again

"Caleb, its Mel"

immediately after she could hear the shock and scare in his voice "Mel? Are you ok? Did something happen?Where are you?"

"I'm back home... could you meet me at Denny's in fifteen?"

"yea, I'll leave right away"he still sounded extremely shocked about the call, "did you want me to bring the others?"

"no I'm not ready to face everyone yet, i just wanna see my big brother right now"

"OK well I'm on my way"

"alright I'll see you soon Caleb, bye... love you"she waited too see if he would reply to that last statment, hoping he would

"OK, love you too"she could practically hear him smiling over the phone with a grin that matched her own at the moment.

Five minutes later she pulled into the parking lot at the local Denny's and took in her appearance. She had changed so much since she had last been home, she had grown out her hair half way down her back and the tips were dyed blue and she had side bangs, she had gotten both her nose and belly button pierced not to mention the six in her ears, she also had a tattoo, that was of a pink lotus flower on her lower back. Even with all the changes she was still extremely short at only 5'3.

After about five minutes of waiting she saw a black mustang pull into the parking lot, when she saw who got out she knew right away that it was her immediately ran up too him and enveloped him in a hug.

Caleb was in shock at how much she had changed, at first he didn't even realise that it was her running up to him but then he thought who else would it be, but once he got a good look at her and she had hugged him there was no doubt that it was his little sister back home with him, hopefully to stay. She never really knew how much it killed him when she had left but he had known that it was for the best that she go since she knew nothing of the covenant or what was really going on with there father.

"you have no idea how much i missed you!" she told him practically crying there in his arms

"you too jessie you too" jessie had always been his special nickname for her since her middle name was jessica

Sarah and Kate had gone out for a girls day, which basically meant shopping, talking about there boyfriends, and pigging out on junk food. While walking down the street Sarah saw Caleb's car drive right past them into the Denny's packing lot and shortly after him being hugged by some random girl. Anger immediately swelled within her thinking that he was cheating on her with some stupid punk slut.

"OH MY GOD! Kate look Caleb is over there with some slut!"she said pointing towards them at the Denny's parking lot where they were hugging and talking.

"Sarah calm down there must be a logical explanation for what hes doing" Kate tried to reason with her but Sarah wouldn't hear it as she ran across the street up to Denny's to confront them.

all of the sudden out of no where Mellisa her someone yelling "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING WITH MY BOYFRIEND BITCH!"

she turned around to find an angry looking blonde girl who looked like she was about to start smoking at the ears.

"well i think I was having a reunion with my brother after five years till you showed up here"Mellisa calmly replied wanting to laugh at the shocked look on the blondes face

"OH MY GOD Mellisa?"was heard and everyone turned to see a practically glowing with joy Kate

"KATE!"Mellisa yelled back and ran up and hugged her "I missed you so much how are you?"

"I'm good I've been dating Pouge for 2 years now what about you Melly?"

"Well I am back for good....i just missed everyone here so much I couldn't stay away any longer."Mellisa said almost in tears, Calbe just came up and enveloped her in a hug.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a sister?" said Sarah sounding hurt

"Well we haven't really had any contact over the past few years so I guess it just never came up, its always been something the guys and I don't really talk about." Caleb answered her question

"oh and by the way they don't know I'm back so could you not tell them that would help out a lot, and blondie how about we start over with out the yelling,"she stuck out her hand "Hi I'm Mellisa Jessica Danvers I'm seventeen and Calebs younger sister"

"yea OK, Hey I'm Sarah Whenam Caleb's girlfriend" she replied taking the offered hand with a smile

"Oh! And before I forget if you ever want an embarrassing childhood stories come to me i have plenty"

Mellisa told Sarah laughing with a wink

"I think this is gonna be the start of a beautiful friendship" Sarah told her laughing as well

Caleb just stood there thinking 'oh no what have i gotten myself into'
